The untitled eighth studio album by American nu metal band Korn was released on July 31, 2007, by Virgin Records.

[2] This album was the first without former drummer David Silveria, instead, Korn enlisted the help of Terry Bozzio, Brooks Wackerman, as well as Jonathan Davis for drumming.

An MTV article published on May 17, 2007, includes an interview with Munky as he details the process of the new studio album, while also revealing several song titles.

He elaborated, "We had the world's greatest drummer Terry Bozzio in and Brooks Wackerman from Bad Religion in and I played drums on some songs too.

This was later confirmed in a Reuters/Billboard article: This time around, amid some changes—founding drummer David Silveria is on hiatus to become a restaurateur, and The Matrix left the project early in the recording process—the band has crafted perhaps its most musically serious work since 2002's Untouchables.

IGN noted that, "There's an overall cohesion from start to finish, and repeated listens continue to reveal new and intriguing elements at every turn, which bodes well for the future",[11] while The Gauntlet wrote, " 'Untitled' is the most articulate recording the band has delivered to date.

[10] On the contrary, AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine noted that the band is going through a "middle-age slump" and that the album "doesn't break them out of it.

"[8] Rolling Stone asserted that Korn sounds "wounded and diminished",[17] while PopMatters agreed, calling it "tired, bland and dated... merely going through the motions rather than creating honest music.
