THE BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE IS IF YOU DON'T DIGEST IT WELL ON YOUR FIRST LISTEN, GIVE IT A FEW MORE rTRIES. I am sure there will be songs that will at least keep people's attention but some may not rbecause some of the songs on this album will be polarizing. But the polarizing ones are some of rthe best ones if you give them time. I didn't like Yen when they first released it but it grew on rme so much. I went in with low expectations so this caught me by surprise. It stands up to WANYK rimo. Some songs are a breath of fresh air and some are stagnant, run of the mill Slipknot. About rhalf the album is killer, 1/4 of it is good, and the other 1/4 is like lazy, reused, or uninspired rshit. Considering how old these guys are and the fact that they no longer have 2 of the major rdriving factors and song writing contributors in Joey and Paul, I'm impressed they were able to rput an album together this well. Following up WANYK for these guys isn't an easy feat it would rseem, but I think they've at least matched the level. V-Man's bass and Jay's drums are obviously rthe highlights of the album for the most part. There are some killers solos and riffage too but in rthe context of Slipknot, doesn't stand out as much. There is use of piano now and then which I'm a rfan of. And other surprises I won't spoil. Nothing crazy, just different for the 9. Overall it's a rsolid addition, just not groundbreaking. rBest tracks: H377, Medicine for the Dead, HivemindrFreshest tracks: Adderall, Medicine for the Dead, Acidic |
