"Twisted Transistor" kicked off See You on the Other Side, Korn's seventh album, as its first single in September 2005, and it's the nu metal veterans with a slicker, catchier chrome finish. The Matrix share the writing credit with the band and co-produced it with Jonathan Davis, and you can hear the shift: the chug and the lurch are still there, but the chorus is built to stick. Terry Date mixed it.
Dave Meyers turned the video into a Spinal Tap-style mockumentary with rappers standing in for the band: Lil Jon as Davis, Xzibit as Fieldy, David Banner as David Silveria and Snoop Dogg as James Shaffer. The single reached 64 on the Hot 100 and 3 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, their best showing there until "Never Never" in 2013, and went to 27 in the UK, 24 in Australia and 6 in Finland.
