In comparison to the last album (which was more fragmented in terms of song length and lighter in instrumental weight), Issues is a solid wall of relentless noise, and somehow I had to pick one track out of that. There are some real familiar gems like Here to Stay, Hollow Life, Thoughtless, and Alone I Break in here, but that still left 10 potentials. What decided this for me was the driving refrain which only occurs twice at the start of Blame (and which I pointed out in my post on Untouchables). It gets stuck in my head whenever think of it. The sudden drop-off shortly after does seem to catch me out too and sets this song somewhat apart from the rest, though not forsaking Korn's iconic sound in the process.
