"B*tch We Got a Problem" harkens back to rap-metal days, mercifully briefly, and "Innocent Bystander" and "Hold On" boast remarkably catchy choruses. On "Hushabye," Munky plays some clean arpeggios while Jonathan Davis sings in harmony. The bagpipes and some exotic drums come out for "I Will Protect You."
The problem with much of the songwriting, though, is that the various parts don't go together well. "Do What We Say" transitions awkwardly between its verse and pre-chorus, for example.
And after several minutes of stale melodies and simplistic guitars, the outro to "Killing" rips off the one-note riff from Godsmack's "Bad Religion."
Korn has built up enough of a fan base that they can coast a little, and they do � a little � on Untitled. Hell, they didn't even come up with a title. But roughly a decade and a half into their careers, the three remaining members have put together a worthwhile collection of new material.
