Análisis (en inglés) - :
Just short of a decade into their incredibly successful and influential career, {$Korn} went into {^Take a Look in the Mirror} publicly stating their hopes to record a fresh-sounding album, a seemingly simple task that they somewhat ended up accomplishing. They needed a fresh album -- one that differed from their past couple, the similar-sounding {^Issues} (1999) and {^Untouchables} (2001), yet at the same time wouldn't alienate their notoriously fickle {\nu-metal} fan base. {^Issues} and {^Untouchables} had been fine albums, but {$Korn} definitely needed a change -- if they wanted to remain relevant, that is. There's a lot of turnover in the {\metal} world because there's always the next big thing (whether it's {\thrash}, {\grindcore}, {\alt-metal}, {\rap-metal}, or whatever), and the rare bands that do last (like, say, {$Tool}) do so because they keep changing and therefore retain the curiousity of their perpetually aging (and thus perpetually dwindling) fan base while at the same time drawing in new generations of listeners. It's a tricky business, really -- you need to keep changing yet still maintain your essence. And {$Korn} does that very well on {^Take a Look in the Mirror}, where they deftly consolidate their past strengths and self-produce a succinct album that sounds like trademark {$Korn} -- yet purposefully doesn't sound like any {$Korn} album to date. It's a little paradoxical, but that's precisely what makes {^Take a Look in the Mirror} so interesting, especially for longtime fans. Particular songs draw from past {$Korn} albums -- whether it's the ultramelodic {^Issues}/{^Untouchables} style of {&"Alive,"} the overt {\rap-metal} {^Follow the Leader} style of {&"Play Me,"} the covert {\rap-metal} {^Life Is Peachy} style of {&"Y'all Want a Single,"} or the seeing-red berserk {^Korn} style of {&"Break Some Off"} -- while a few highlights ({&"Right Now,"} {&"Counting on Me,"} {&"Did My Time"}) break into exciting new territory. And perhaps most importantly, {$Korn} keeps {^Take a Look in the Mirror} brief: a baker's dozen in 45 minutes if you don't count the hidden bonus track (their ADD-paced live version of {&"One"} from {@MTV}'s {$Metallica} comeback special). Because of the emphasis on brevity and variety (and especially quality), the album's over before you know it and you're left feeling hungry for more {$Korn}. [{@Epic} released a bonus DVD edition that appends the video for {&"Right Now,"} along with some other non-essential multimedia content.] ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
