Korn - The Paradigm Shift flac mp3 download

All Korn albums put in the blender. Do not let Never Never fool you!After hearing the first teaser (the intro of “Lullaby Of A Sadist”) and the first single “Never Never” everybody including me thought this would be just another poppy album like the untitled one a few years back. This may have been marketing, because those 2 previews do not represent this album at all. It is a lot heavier. “Lullaby For A Sadist” gets heavier after the intro and has creepy chanting vocals by Jonathan at the end, really cool. The first 2 tracks (“Prey For Me” and “Love & Meth”) are instant hits in my opninion and I wasn’t suprised “Love & Meth” was their second single, man that song rocks! They re-wrote “Spike In My Veins” to be a guitar track in stead of an electronic one and you cannot hear it was written for a Jdevil release at all. They had Noisia (=Nightwatch) add a couple of electronic bits and pieces on most songs, but just enough to freshen up the sound, ‘cause it definetly is a metal album. The variety of songs makes it sound like a mash-up of all Korn albums, somewhat like a best of. Jonathan’s voice is getting better and better each album and the return of Head to Korn obviously did the band good. The Reconciliation dvd is a nice documentary mostly about Head and Munky reuniting and a couple of really cool riffs coming together. One stupid thing about this deluxe edition is that it misses 1 bonus track only available on Japanese releases (Why…?). Final thoughts: Fresh old Korn sound. Buy this one, Now!
