Hold On - Korn

Korn's "Hold On" is one of the hookiest songs the ever-evolving band has delivered in some time. Although not as flashy as club-ready "Twisted Transistor," the fists-in-the-air track combines industrial grinding, danceable beats, trademark Korn guitars and determined grit. Singer Jonathan Davis, whose lyrics are turning more of an eye to external conflict instead of his own torments, talks of standing strong in the face of alienation. The electronic vibe the band has been exploring seems to be agreeable, so don't be surprised if "Hold On" keeps a firm grip on the charts. —Christa L. Titus
