[untitled] by Korn

Korn's eighth album came out on Virgin on July 31, 2007 with no name on the cover, and that was the point: Jonathan Davis figured the fans could call it whatever they liked. It's a record made by a band stripped to its core. Head was already gone, David Silveria had walked the year before, and Ray Luzier wouldn't take over the kit until late in 2007, so this is the only Korn studio album with no official drummer. Davis brought in Terry Bozzio and Brooks Wackerman to play the sessions, with Atticus Ross producing.

What's left is Davis, Munky and Fieldy steering the Bakersfield nu metal pioneers somewhere murkier, the down-tuned lurch shot through with moody, atmospheric shading. It was their second release for Virgin after See You on the Other Side, and it had gone gold in the States by the end of October.
