Editorial Review:
Taken from their seventh album See You On The Other Side, 'Twisted Transistor' sees Korn writing in tandem with pop hitmakers The Matrix, creating a partnership that has added a unique flavour to the traditional Korn template to create a cleaner but no less heavier sound. This strictly limited edition Australian single features exclusive b-sides! 2005.
Twisted Transistor Reviews:
this is the edited, radio version 
2006-02-19 - the "twisted transistor" on this cd-single is the edited, radio version. the song is shortened from its original length, and all foul language is blanked out. it makes the song very boring and it's over too quick (it only clocks in at 3 minutes). the single also contains "too late i'm dead" which is a heavy, industrial-based song. nothing special. last song on the disc is "twisted transistor (kupper's elektro-tek radio edit)" which is a horrible techno version of the song." I am giving this 1 star because I don't like the edited version of "twisted transistor" (my fault for not asking before buying it) and the two remaining songs are weak.
Twisted Transistor 
2005-11-29 - Masters of sound. Intensity amplified infinitely and the gruelling severity punishing all those in proximity of the bass line. Korn reduces streamlined metal and ominous industrial to a pulp heavily laden with gushing rhythm. Twisted Transistor is an urban nightmare wrapping and winding its way around the epitome of Lucifer. If nothing less, this is what He would be jamming to.
The churning, jackhammer rhythms are leavened by subtle synthesizer work and the occasional falling in with a bracing hip-hop beat. Showing off their hard-edged syncopation core of a beat that hits the gut, each cut rising from the same dark sonic murk; bolting surges of volume, power and aggression. A brutal pulse.
Casual listeners are forgiven for their glazing judgement, and the would-be fruitless task in the distinguishing of individual riffs and hooks all of which seem to contribute to the overall noise; bleeding into each other to form sound. And if nothing else, sound is what Korn is about. Sure, Jonathan Davis doesn't merely spiel off lyrics but, in the end, regardless of lyrical content, the various words that waft to the surface simply enhance the growls of the mood. Korn follow their own leader; masters of noise.
