See You on the Other Side is the seventh studio album by Korn. It was released on December 6, 2005, by Virgin Records. It is their first album without long-time guitarist Brian "Head" Welch and the last album with long-time drummer David Silveria. The working title was Souvenir of Sadness. The album was first certified gold on January 12, 2006 and subsequent platinum record certification was awarded on March 16, 2006.

Production

The album was recorded in Jonathan Davis' home studio which was used for the Take a Look in the Mirror album and Queen of the Damned soundtrack and score.

Promotion

The first single, "Twisted Transistor", was premiered on 102.1 The Edge, and was released on November 21, 2005. Brent Decker e-mailed the disc jockey of the night, Ayo, with a request to play the rumored single. The band also did a See You On The Other Side world tour to heavily promote the album which included a special one song performance on a plane from London to New York City.

Musical and lyrical themes

With regards to the album's musical direction, Jonathan Davis commented,

It's funky, it's heavy, it's dark and sometimes, industrial-tinged. Working with so many different people and everything, it's made it out to be a really well-rounded album of a lot of different things. It's definitely Korn, it's definitely groove-oriented. But it's our most experimental album to date. We're very excited. We're all sitting around, when we listen to it, looking at each other going, 'I can't believe that's us.' I think people are really going to dig it.

Critical reception

On average, See You on the Other Side generally received much warmer critical reception than the previous studio album, Take a Look in the Mirror, scoring a Metacritic average of 64[1]. Reviewers appreciated the band's desire to experiment and noted that the album combined well their signature sound with the freshness that producers The Matrix and Atticus Ross added to the band's sound.[2] Commercially, the album was successful, proving that Korn can still remain on the top of the charts, staying in the top 100 of the Billboard 200 pop albums chart for 34 straight weeks.[3]
