The so-called "nü metal" rockers from Bakersfield, CA launched their most recent CD, See You on the Other Side, at this 2005 headbanging concert held in the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. Critics have made much of the industrial metal sound of Korn's seventh album (an unusual nod toward tradition for this alternative metal group), but mixed in with some older material, the new songs in this 18-song set all sound like lunkhead noise for thick-necked boys. From the grinding dramas of "Here to Stay" to the gibberish chant of "Twist" and moronic slog of "Twisted Transistor," the band's sound (as with most heavy metal) feels purely self-referential. The lone exception is a cover of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall," which has the rare advantage of actually being melodious and even leads to an audience sing-a-long. Presented in DTS, Dolby Digital 5.1 and stereo, DVD extras include a couple of featurettes: on Korn rehearsing and some European fans who were flown in to the New York show. Optional. Aud: P. (T. Keogh)
