My First Time Listening to See You On The Other Side by Korn | My Reaction

15:20 “it’s like classic KoRn fused with borderline dubstep” That foreshadowing lol

So people keep saying... sounds like I'm in for a full on Korn dubstep album in the near future. That should be fun!

[@kingboostudios]

@@mollyesanborn yeah Path of Totality is as you can imagine a very divisive record. I personally really like it but that’s mostly because I was already a dubstep fan when it came out lol. I’m really excited to see your reaction to the album when you eventually get to it. Your reactions are some of my favorites

[@victorgomez592]

@@kingboostudios I really think a lot of us expect the reaction to Path Of Totality, from someone who is listening to the entire discography in order, because that change becomes too shocking even for the electronic arrangements that Korn had been having. In my opinion a great success, the Korn 2005-2010 was already being very boring and monotonous.

[@Steve-nq8jc]

A little bit of housekeeping for Korn and this album. Head had left Korn signed a new 5 year record deal with Virgin Eecords one of the first 50/50 deals as part of the new Korn EMI Partnership. Jonathan had a much bigger role in the songwriting. Korn had drafted in The Matrix pop song writing team to help co write and co produce. Attcus Ross wrote and produced some of the tracks. To help promote the album they were I believe the first band ever to perform live on a flight from London to New York. Coming Undone is the only track Korn play live from this album on a regular basis.

[@epicmage82]

Souvenir is so good. I really like this album, but then, I like all of their albums.

[@victorgomez592]

This was the last album with David Silveria as drummer. Coming Undone was a big hit at the time, on the next album things didn't get any better, they had good songs like Evolution, Kiss and Sing Sorrow, but they weren't very successful. The next album (Untitled, but several called Korn II, later you'll understand why) was an experimental album, its sound goes more towards rock and ballads. There were only 3 official members in the band when they recorded it, they had collaborations from other drummers and Davis himself for percussion. They were helped on tour by Joey Jordison of Slipknot. The 2005-2010 era of Korn is a bit boring, but it has good things that I know you'll appreciate.

[@trevor5071]

In pretty sure Silveria left even before the half way mark in the making of syotos. Probably why half the songs have produced drums

[@Eyesofwrathvox]

This album is definitely a grower. I still love it for songs like throw me away and tearjerker, especially. The next one is similar so just a bit of a heads up. Still some great songs and the percussion on some of them are fantastic. Then again, they have the legendary Terry bozzio on drums for much that album. You'll more than likely like the album after (Korn lll), but maybe not the path to totality which comes after. But when Head returns, their albums get heavy again. So this definitely isn't their permanent future direction

[@ihatespy]

This is the album where Brian "Head" Welch left the band and didn't return until around 2013. Then David left after this album as well on drums. This album has some good tracks it just takes a few listens to grow on you.

[@timuel.samotey]

I claim this album to be my most favorite album of all music in general. I don´t know but there is something about this album that makes me feel safe and comfortable. Couldn´t really describe it by words.

their next album [Untitled] is one of my favorites I can't wait to see what you think of it. specially the song "I will protect you" and very dark and haunty vibes. also Jon davis had just acquired an electric bagpipe thing so that's why he was adding it to the songs endings on this album lol.

[@Ohleyva5]

This album is very interesting. I like some parts and there's some I do not. When Molly said it felt like it was missing something. That's how I felt as well. I understand Head left the band before this so they were down a man. But it still feels like something was missing. And if you felt that way towards this album, you will definitely feel that with the next. It's not the worst album ever, but from a band that put out hit after hit, this one feels lower on the scale.

[@albertgein3082]

They also had to try different producers I think and stop and start recording maybe in different studios I'm not sure

[@EyeShotFirst]

Untitled is definitely Korn going through the motions. David Silveria was out, so drumming duties would be handled by either Jonathan Davis, Brooks Wackerman, or Terry Bozzio, which makes for a very inconsistent album. Korn were a 3 piece on that band, and it certainly sounds like it. Korn were basically running at 60 percent and going through a lot of personal issues. Jonathan Davis had nearly died on the tour leading up to that, because he had a blood disorder. David had just left, and wasn't responding to the band. There was back and forth between Head and the band, and I think there was some bitterness at that time. The album was a success in a way (charted at number 2 on the Billboard 200), and it did have some great tracks. But inconsistent production, song quality, and an overall odd mix made Korn sound like they were a fraction of the wall of sound they used to be.

[@bawitback]

@@EyeShotFirst one of their greatest albums top 5 for me

[@phoenixskies4477]

Honestly, not my favorite album, but it does have some great songs such as Politics, Coming Undone, Liar, Tearjerker, and Love Song. But I’ll also say that there are definitely missing elements. I believe their following album was better than this one, so it’s great they evolved a bit, but the mid-end section of this album, with the B-sides/extra songs, were pretty lack luster. Not the best, but a decent album overall.

[@shahabuddin5513]

I enjoyed your reactions and reviewing this album by Korn, which has been my favorite band for so many years, so I will break this album down right here, right now: 1. Twisted Transistor Nice one, you can immediately feel, they are trying something different again. they produced this album with the same producer who produced albums of Britney Spears (if you re-listen knowing that, it does make sense). 2. Politics It has such an interesting start where I felt, this could be cool, but gradually developed to a song that I don’t care about. They produced this album with the same producer who produced albums or Britney Spears, and while listening to this song, I was thinking, maybe that was not a good idea. 3. Hypocrites Here you have a little bit of the heaviness I have been missing on this album, so far my favorite, I enjoy the oriental vocal line, but again I agree, something is missing. It is also the speed: The live versions are notably faster, and this song played faster is so much better. I recommend to listen to the live-versions. 4. Souvenir of Sadness Again not bad, but I agree with what she says about „hollowness“, I think it is a good word to describe why I am still not super-impressed. Gotta say, I found Hyprocites heavier, not this one to be the heaviest so far, as she said. I also wouldn’t say his vocals are too predictable, almost on the contrary (the way he starts Politics, for instance, totally caught me off guard, but unpredictable is not always good). Probably you are much rather referring to the variety of how Davis usually uses is voice, from crying to laughing to screaming like insane, from deep voice to high pitch and so on, I would agree with that. 5. 10 or 2-Way It’s funny that you say this one is your favorite so for, because this one or Politics is my least favorite that far, albeit the bridge I find not bad, and of course when I first listened to it, I freaked out hearing the bagpipes in the end. I guess they were only added in the end of some songs as a nostalgic element for Korn-fans, but they it incorporated to a more „futuristic“ sound, so it sounds familiar enough, and yet different enough. 6. Throw me Away Even though it is the softest song so far and I have been really missing Korn’s heavy stuff, this is my favorite so far. The verses are nice, the chorus is catchy, the bridge sounds more creepy and haunting but Davis' is singing even higher notes here. 7. Love Song So different, typical Korn, yet different, can keep up with previous song. I agree still waiting for something, want an aggressive punch of energy, but Love Song or Throw Away, one of these two is my favorite so far. 8. Open Up I wish they had the dark atmosphere like in the previous songs of this album, especially Love Song. I thought track number 7 would lead to something in a similar direction, but the girl’s reaction in the video with the acoustic sound in the end sums up my feeling... like "WTF?". The scatting in the end was again a nostalgia-plus, even if it sounded almost too experimental for me. 9. Coming Undone Thought it was not bad when first listening to it, and started appreciating it even more when I listened to it more often. Decent song, another cool live-song. 10. Getting Off This song is again so different with several surprise elements. I love about Korn how they experiment, but in this album I feel like sometimes it is almost too much of experimenting, the result is not as great as in their first albums, maybe this can be regarded as an act of „despair“ after David Silveria left. I agree that it’s cool when he brings in variety in his voice, like the unexpected death growls shortly before the chorus. Such variety I felt was missing especially in Open Up, and it just didn't sound enough like Korn to me. Getting Off: Not bad, but where is the song that makes me go like wow? 11. Liar Wow! What you have been saying many times up until that point, the things that are missing, it’s almost the end of the album, but it is finally all there in this song: Heavy riffs, catchy melodic chorus, old school Korn, but fused with new elements with their new found „electronic fetish“. Easily my favorite on this album that far and I knew the first time listening to it that it will probably not be topped. 12. For No One I mentioned how Britney Spears had the same producer before. Here it is the most obvious: Listen to the verses and imagine Britney’s voice singing it, could have been from a Britney-Album. Just not what you would expect as a Korn-Fan style-wise and my least favorite. Any song coming from Britney I might like more. 13. Seen it all Interesting, sinister atmosphere, the vocals are again so different from all the rest. The song is not bad, but especially love the bridge of this song, one of the great, great moments on this album, beautifully composed, plus it sums up the cover of the album if you listen to the lyrics. 14. Tearjerker A very courageous effort. The haunting voice effect in the verses are cool. Especially like how the almost entirely soft song builds up to this more dramatic and louder ending hat finally sounds like Korn again. Still I find the song just okay. Like the girl says, for the most part it doesn’t sound like a Korn song. I can highly recommend the Bonus track „Eaten Up Inside“, which in my opinion is one of the best songs on the entire album. The album as a whole, when speaking about Korn’s first twelve albums at least (need to listen to the 13th and 14th album more often), is actually my second least favorite album of Korn (only the „Untitled“ album I found worse).

[@PotawatomiThunderNew]

When you start your videos with a clip taken from a moment from some point later in the reaction, I’m always curious to see which song the clip you use ends up coming from. With the clip you used for the start of the video asking if Korn finally reached the point of insanity with the album, I was thinking “I bet you anything that moment came from the end portion of the song Open Up. I gotta give myself a little pat on the back for correctly predicting what moment on the album that was. 😄

If you can get through the next couple of albums there is a massive resurgence from KoRn thereafter, particularly when Head rejoins. The album The Nothing is a masterpiece, great variance & very, very emotional (given it was written in the aftermath of Jonathan's ex-wife and his mother both passing). KoRn at their best some 25yrs later. Please keep the journey going!

[@kevinstarofficial]

The bagpipe interludes are brilliant in my opinion. It depends on how you perceive the music, i see it as a Korn in Wonderland type story, where you get to dream about their music, but as with dreams, everything is mixed up and makes no sense, that's how korn's sound is more coloured, distorted and chopped up on this album. and those interludes tie the bagpipe trademark again in a very dreamlike weird way. I listen to korn since 98 and funny enough this album gets the most plays from me in the end. I guess it is my favorite after all, though i wouldnt have expected it hahaa

[@alexperez3367]

[@PotawatomiThunderNew]

I really like the pace you set for yourself when you do these album reactions when you’re doing a band’s discography in chronological order. Like you don’t just burn through each one in a short span of time and get them all jumbled together and not be able to retain what you’ve heard. And from things I’ve seen you say in the comments you reply to in videos, it sounds like you listen to some stuff more after your initial review? So it seems like you give yourself enough time to digest each album before moving to the next one. But they aren’t spaced so far apart to where it’s been a really long time since the last one. So like they are all spaced out pretty evenly. And I don’t just mean Korn but the band discographies you do in general. Anyway, this was a good review of the album. Im glad you liked Tearjerker because that’s easily my favorite song on the album and one of my favorite Korn songs just in general.

[@brennendavis3283]

I can tell you what you’re not feeling. It’s the first album they wrote without their guitarist Head. Munky did an amazing job holding the fort, but they won’t have that full, heavy quality again until Head comes back on The Paradigm Shift. Though I argue they found their heaviness again one album later on The Serenity of Suffering.

[@TheLivingDead111]

That "quality" you say feels like it's missing is the unsung hero of Korn, Brian "Head" Welch, one of the founding guitarists. He left the band after Take a Look in the Mirror and a TON of Korn's trademark sound and songwriting left with him. He would not return until 2013's The Paradigm Shift and that's when the band really got back to some really great music. Head's contributions cannot be understated.

[@Gatorclash93]

This was also the first album since Head left the band in kind a not great breakup. He left to go and experience sobriety for the first time and also his new found relationship with god. They said with this album there were trying to experiment with a new sound because with Head not being there Fieldy had to take more of a supporting role instead of doing his own thing. Untitled is one of my favorite albums from them, and it’s also the first album without their drummer so it’s just the three of them left.

[@alysdaxei]

My favorite song on this album is Seen It All. The B-Sides and that song are some of their best.

When Brian Head Welch left the band, Korn really didn't know how to be a band. And it shows in their next couple releases. Although Jonathan Davis I think carried Korn on his back after Brian left, Jonathan was the highlight of Korn during the middle portion of their career, while the rest of the band was just bland. See You on the Other Side was the first Korn album I purchased so I do adore this album, and it's difficult for me to find its faults.

This album was OK! It was indeed missing something, that something was Brian "Head' Welch. He would come back a few albums later though. It was noticeable in their latest album Requiem.

[@mikeplynch1]

The loss of head was huge!! You should check out his side band Love and Death. You’ll find out where the missing part went;) they have two albums you should review both of them. Head sings. KoЯn wise, they did a awesome job in finding a way to progress with what they had. If it sounded the same every time it would get boring. I can’t wait you’re only halfway through what they have. Fieldy has a solo album too. Fieldy’s Dreams. Put that on the list;)

[@666gorewhore]

Fieldy's Dreams is absolutely terrible hahaha. It was like listening to a child write lyrics. It would be a funny review though.

[@JoeSchmo747-t2c]

My first Korn album. Maybe it's nostalgia but it's one of my favorites from them. Just seemed like they had a lot of creativity going on. Just based on your comments I think you'd like Black Light Burns. I'd start with the album cruel melody.

[@ILikeCHEEZ9]

Definitely not nostalgia, the pattern is she doesn't like the genre fusion tracks and takes issue with the bagpipes for some reason. But anything with an electronic or hip hop influence(bounciness as she calls it) her face twisted up and as she said she felt luke warm about it. I have a feeling she'll dislike the 2010s albums especially path of totality, until we get to the nothing for...obvious reasons

[@JoeSchmo747-t2c]

@@ILikeCHEEZ9 yeah that album was a bust for sure.... Only songs I liked off of it were narcissistic cannibal and chaos live in everything. Then they overcorrected trying to copy their early sound with rwya. After brian came back they've been as good as ever thankfully.

[@endtheflow7258]

Hearing Molly get frustrated about the lack of good riffs made my heart happy haha I was worried this album would go down better with a younger audience because I feel like to me it had almost a mumble rap pop vibe to the production but you're absolutely right Molly by far my least favorite Korn album. I used to hate the album after this too with a passion but the older and more experienced at music I've gotten the more I really appreciate the instrumentation that went into the album after this. Many people are going to talk shit on the Path to Totality album, but honestly to me that album had a lot of interesting sonic layering going on, it was much more full, lively and colorful than this album and it was probably my favorite tour I ever saw Korn on because of how diverse the crowds were. There were many not Korn fans there that didn't know wtf was going on when Korn took the stage, I loved it.

[@sermonking]

So this is the album that head departs from. Maybe they lost that heaviness you seek because he went away. Some songs lack that quality but I like what they did with this album.

[@efrainjiminez5693]

When are you gonna do Static-X again?

[@metalizard27]

yeah this album is definitely more on the mainstream side, the next one is even bigger departure from their usual style, but I reaaaly like it, it has this weird theatrical vibe :-) also since you enjoy these electronic elements ( I mean duh, you like NIN so its obvious) I think that you are going to love Machine by Static-x because its very cold, aggressive and industrial.

[@Ozzy_Dio]

I'm very excited about Untitled because for me it's simply an incredible album, a tip, in Untitled don't expect a great guitar or bass, focus on the voice of the album that in my opinion in Untitled together with Korn III are the albums where Jonathan Davis's voice is at its highest level.

[@bawitback]

same it's one of my favorite from korn

[@4qu4h3x]

glad i can find someone who appreciates untitled and korn III

[@JMDrummer]

Yes glad to know I'm not alone in thinking the same.. hell Korn III is one of my favorites.. definitely top 5

[@Ozzy_Dio]

I'm glad to see people who appreciate Korn III and Untitled, really the 2 albums are masterpieces and Korn III is possibly my favorite

[@brentkilgore5182]

Korn iii is so underrated

[@joseespinosa843]

I still like Korn but this is the album where it became less raw and nore electronic, which I enjoy less than their first albums. I'm really curious to see what you would think of Limp Bizkit

[@JDC-84]

I find this album to be the spiritual follow up to Follow the Leader and the bridge between FTL and Korn III: Remember Who You Are - I think there’s a streamline more mainstream aimed appeal on those 3 albums - or maybe they tried to capture the magic from FTL on SYOTOS and K3 RWYA I don’t know.

[@MrPopsfreshnmyer]

I like a couple songs on this album, but as a whole it's easily on the bottom of my Korn discography ranking. This was a really awkward time for the band, a lot was going on. A bunch of people in the comments have brought up most of what changed. To add to it: Head left the band (which blindsided them) and this was Munky's first time writing alone which was a huge adjustment for him. Take A Look In The Mirror didn't sell as well as expected, marking the end of Korn's reign in mainstream music (the previous 3 albums were massive). Tastes changed and they felt like they had to try something new, so they hired The Matrix to produce this album who are best known for working with pop musicians (Avril Levigne, Rihanna, and Shakira, it's a big list). Lauren Christy, 1 of 3 in The Matrix, has worked on many Korn albums since. I believe she works closely with Jonathan. David (the drummer) hated the direction of this album, he didn't want to work with The Matrix, among other things. This was their 7th album in 12 years with nonstop touring in between. He felt it was too different from their sound and you can hear the difference in his drumming compared to the other albums. He left the band after they finished touring this album. This album also sounds off because the production changed Fieldy's bass tone. He's buried on almost every track (which has happened a few times since). As you've noticed in your listen through, this album is much tamer than their previous work. There's no bounce from the percussion and very little grime in the production (I call it the Creep factor) as a whole. This album didn't sell well either.

[@KR_GreySkies]

So glad you brought korn back.

[@mollyesanborn]

Of course! I've definitely gotta do all of their albums :)

[@OverlordProductions]

It definitely has been a minute since you’ve checked out a Korn album hasn’t it jokes aside I really love coming undone off this album which I believe is supposed to be a little bit more commercial other than anything that said if you want some really awesome more raw new metal to check out on your channel I still am going to recommend Spineshank as well as El Niño those guys are criminally underrated in my opinion and make some really awesome music great reaction really enjoyed it

[@mollyesanborn]

Haha, I'll definitely try and stay on top of the Korn albums! Hopefully I won't make you guys wait too long for the next one. And thanks for the suggestions. I'll be sure that Spineshank and El Niño are on my list :)

[@ben_angel]

Listen to those lyrics at 18:22 then look at the album art...

[@JUNK_ZONE]

I loved this album. It's definitely an odd one though.

[@darkcyborgzz]

The albums don’t really get a heavier tone until Serenity of Suffering, with lots of albums in between 😅, every album from there on out are absolute bangers

the nothing was hot garbage but requiem is quite good

[@buddykaiser2380]

Its like there's no bottom end. You should check out the song Sean Olsen from Korn. Its on the film The Crow soundtrack and its from back in their first album days. It's the way I wish Korn still sounded.

[@badpuppet616]

this album is great. jr high jams

[@Dk_Linn]

I love certain songs on here and others... maybe not so much? This is about the last Korn album I know decently well so I'm interested to see if you'll continue their discography after this one. Also, I appreciate that you're very honest when you're not entirely into something, while still commenting on the little gleams that stick out to you.

[@JohnnyGT-CA]

Loved it. So fun. Bopilina, you are super fine 💗

[@TheAbandonedAccount7]

Someone hit me up when she finally gets to Path of Totality lol. Only post-90s Korn album worth listening to imho

[@mikeplynch1]

Next album please:) or Black labyrinth by Johnathan Davis.

[@j800r_aswell]

You’re right, the album is missing something. Head left the band between the last album and this one. Head brings a lot of the heaviness. He returned just before Paradigm Shift and has been back with them ever sense. Though this is also the last album to feature Dave Silveria on drums.

[@Timecapsule96]

Idk if you react to more tame albums too but I have a few suggestions you might like, both mellow and also hard :) 90s Toad the Wet Sprocket: Bread & Circus, Dulcinea, Fear Splendora: In The Grass Alice In Chains: Facelift, Jar of Flies Smashing Pumpkins: Gish, Siamese Dream, Pisces Iscariot Hole- Live Through This Duster- Stratosphere Stone Temple Pilots- Core, Purple Temple of the Dog- Self Titled Alanis Morissette- Jagged Little Pill Soundgarden- Badmotorfinger Tad- Inhaler Mother Love Bone- Apple 2000s 12 Stones: Potter’s Field, Anthem for the Underdog Evanescence: Origin, Fallen, The Open Door 2020s Narrow Head- Satisfaction, 12th House Rock Momma- Too of Me, Household Name Pretty Sick- Come Down, Deep Divine Beabadoobee- Fake it Flowers Turnstile- Glow Down Provoker- Body Jumper Superheaven- Ours is Chrome Violent Soho- Hungry Ghost Long list I know lol but I def recommend them they’re great!

Molly! I don’t really engage in social media, but I wanted to request “NAILS : YOU WILL NEVER BE ONE OF US” Its really hard and catchy and will definitely make you want to listen to it in your car.. . AND IMAGINE RAMMING PEOPLE INTO THE GUARD RAILS BECAUSE THEY HAVE HAD THEIR LEFT TURN SINGAL ON FOR THE PAST MILE. 🤘

[@brianstocks8049]

awe I t hought you were live...but I did drop everything, my cats may have gotten a bit of burrito because of it

[@epblu]

This album, among other things, starts a trend of Fieldy's bass playing being a lot more buried in the mix and it's one of the big reasons they stop sounding like themselves for a pretty long time. I still like some of the songs but I definitely stopped coming back for this record after a while and they entered a new era where they lost sight of their original style and they weren't always putting out their best material anymore.
