Yet somehow, nu-metal veterans Korn make the concept work in their favor with MTV UNPLUGGED. From a Latin-groove-infused take on "Blind" to the Middle Eastern flavor that drives "Hollow Life," this set is full of surprises. Incorporating strings, keyboards, and various percussion instruments, Korn's catalog is showcased in new and varied lights. Notable guest spots include Evanescence singer Amy Lee joining Jonathan Davis for a duet arrangement of "Freak On A Leash," and the Cure helping mash up their own "In Between Days" with Korn's "Make Me Bad."
