Even though The Paradigm Shift might not be the album that listeners might expect after a reunion with Head, it shows the kind of creativity and inventiveness that, love them or hate them, helped to make them an influential force in heavy music.

Wow. This is easily Korn's most underrated album, I think it's amazing.
After the abominations of Korn III and TPOT, the band was transforming into something scarily bad, unfortunately.
