Untouchables
Untouchables is the fifth studio album by Korn, the American nu metal band, and it came out on 11 June 2002 on Epic. It follows Issues from 1999 and sits in the middle of a run that continued with Take a Look in the Mirror the following year. The record was tagged as both nu metal and alternative metal, and critics greeted it warmly.
It is the album that gave the band "Here to Stay", a single that won a Grammy. Untouchables entered the Billboard 200 at number two, selling 495,991 copies in its first week and finishing behind only Eminem's The Eminem Show. It went platinum within a month and has sold at least 1.4 million copies in the United States. For anyone tracing how Korn sounded in the early 2000s, it is a good place to start.
