Untouchables is the fifth album by American nu metal band Korn. The album was officially released on June 11, 2002 and featured the Grammy Award-winning single "Here to Stay", as well as "Thoughtless" and "Alone I Break." Untouchables featured elements like undistorted guitars and electronics on some songs, giving the album an overall mellow but spooky feel, with one critic calling it a "purgatorial symphony." The album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 with 434,000 copies. It has sold more than 1.5 million copies in the United States since its release. Untouchables was produced by Michael Beinhorn, mixed by Andy Wallace, and received positive reviews from respected music magazines.
Yes, one of the many albums that defined my adolescence and changed my life, also my favorite album of all-time. The biggest screwup of the music industry in 2002 was in fact not releasing "Alone I Break" to pop radio.
God, that cap for "Here to Stay" is so terrifying.
But this is one of my five favorite albums ever, and my favorite Korn album. Other than maybe Black Holes and Revelations, no album has impacted my music taste directly like Untouchables did seven years ago.
