antiMusic has my review of Korn's Unplugged.
Main point:
"MTV's long-running Unplugged series has a way of bringing out the best in talented musicians. Nirvana turned its plenty-pop-enough-for-the-mai nstream grunge into a hard-edged folk, and Eric Clapton played with a classical sensibility. Korn's contribution, no less valuable, maintains the band's odd note combinations for an exotic, often Middle Eastern feel.
"Pitter-patter hand drumming (courtesy Michael Jochum; David Silveria is on a break from the group) – most often associated with coffee shop spoken-word – becomes a primitive yet low-key backdrop for strong melodies and a mostly indispensable performance. Piano, cello, upright bass, trombone and other assorted noisemakers join in from time to time."
