Take A Look In The Mirror and Head's departure

Take A Look In The Mirror, KoRn's sixth studio release, came out November 11th, 2003, again to mixed reviews, mostly from fans. This reaction was primarily due to the fact that, during recording, Jonathan Davis claimed that his band was returning to a more "old-school" sound. And in the opinion of most fans (myself included), while sounding nothing like Untouchables, it didn't exactly sound old-school either.

Three singles were released from Take A Look In The Mirror: "Right Now," "Y'all Wanna Single" and "Everything I've Known."

I, myself, don't find it to be a bad album. But then, I don't think it's possible for KoRn to record a "bad" album. But I can say that it's definitely not my favorite.

"Y'all Wanna Single"


On February 22nd 2005, it was formally announced by KoRn's management that Brian "Head" Welch had left the band, stating that he had "...chosen the Lord Jesus Christ as his savior, and will be dedicating his musical pursuits to that end."

Soon after, Head revealed that this decision and his religious salvation came after years of battling alcoholism and an addiction to methamphetamine.

He has since written an autobiography titled "Save Me From Myself," which chronicled everything from his childhood, his time in KoRn, his friendships with his band mates, his addiction, rehabilitation and salvation. Soon after, he released a solo album of the same name.
