Potentially interesting, this one. A band generally regarded as the founders of the Nu-Metal genre finally admit that they've squeezed it dry, and decide to move on to the next big thing. The next big thing in this case being Dubstep. They've brought in big name Dubstep producers such as Skrillex, Datsik, Noisia, Xumphlygrumph and Exploded Scrotum , and initial internet rumblings have largely been of the 'fresh, innovative, exciting' type, which tempted me to go back to a band I'd largely written off as...well, utter bollocks, if I'm honest.
Now, done well, this kind of stuff is right up my street (Charlie Clouser's White Zombie remixes, Killing Joke trance mixes, etc), so I've got fairly high hopes that this could be decent...
...well, y'know when some bands release a perfectly good album, and then churn out a remix album that's nothing more than the original album with some dance beats half-arsedly wedged in as a cynical ploy to grab the 'crossover' crowd? Korn seem to have released that remix album without actually bothering to release a decent album first!
