Nov 13, 2013Unsure where the paradigm shift is. This album is essentially what you have come to expect from Korn. I would say that this album is maybe a little lighter than their older stuff, but it is still better than their dubstep album.

Sep 24, 2015It took a second try, but Korn have bounced back into what made them so great in the 90s and 00s. Korn III was a fine album on its own, but The Paradigm Shift is the nu-metal pioneer's real return to form.

May 30, 2022It's been a long time between new(-ish!) Korn albums for me, and my oh my...their sound hasn't changed one iota (despite the album's title)! I'm sure this is reassuring for some, but I have to ask: how OLD are these guys by now? And how wealthy?
Here's hoping they find some serenity in their fifties! It can't be pleasant to be that miserable ALL the time... -

Oct 27, 2014This is one of my favorite Korn albums.....it is Alot better than "The Path Of Totality" . This album is Heavy, Groovy and its one of those albums that you can listen to a hundred times and never gets a dull moment!

Jul 29, 2016I don't understand why Metacritic scores are so **** harsh. This is a good Korn album with some pretty great songs on it. I really enjoyed listening to it. 7.8/10 There are some flaws with it, but overall a good album. 3.8/5

Nov 4, 2013"Never Never" is a power ballad, and "Love & Meth" is not as funny as one might hope, though the brilliantly titled "Paranoid and Aroused" is.
