That's what you get for a shittastic previous release
According to industry web site Hits Daily Double, KORN's new album, "Korn III - Remember Who You Are", is on track to sell between 60,000 and 65,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release.
The Hits estimate is based on one-day sales reports. The album arrived on Tuesday (July 13).
KORN's last, untitled album opened with 123,000 units back in August 2007 to debut at No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart. That number was slightly more than half of the 221,000 first-week tally achieved by its predecessor, "See You on the Other Side", which landed at No. 3 back in December 2005.
KORN's ninth offering, "Korn III - Remember Who You Are", is the band's first effort for brand new label home, Roadrunner Records, and it bursts at the seams with that very feeling that defined the band from the get-go. Each song unleashes an uneasiness reminiscent of KORN's earliest and most unbridled material, but there’s also a modern refinement that's epic in its execution.
In order to tap into the chaos that made their self-titled debut a modern classic, the band enlisted the help of the man who helmed "Korn" and "Life is Peachy" — producer Ross Robinson, whose goal was to bring KORN back to square one. He undoubtedly succeeded. Singer Jonathan Davis had an intense and invigorating recording session. "Ross helped us remember what we used to do this for," the singer says. "It was more psychological than anything. Ross was right there pushing me and he drove me insane. I sing about a lot of things that hit really close to my heart and he knew how to trigger that. I nearly fucking broke down at the end of almost every song, but I got it all out."
KORN's current lineup includes drummer Ray Luzier, who became KORN's touring drummer in late 2007 and was made an official member in 2009. On cuts like the deadly "Cheech and Chong", he propels the aggression. Bassist Fieldy says, "Ray is like the missing KORN member we never had. He just fits so well. When we found him, it just clicked because his playing sounds like KORN. He plays with me, and the way that he plays is exactly what I needed. We know what we're doing on stage with each other, and everybody's on the same page. I've waited my whole career for KORN to sound like we do now."

I'm going back to my hiatus state.
ill miss you
Was never a big fan of Korn but i'm bored and seeing them at Mayhem in 2 weeks so I figure what the hell.
the newest Symphony X and Metal Church both sold less than 1000 in a week,
But the title says it all.
EX: Hey, Wine, you used the comma correctly.
