Good review mate, long but a nice read tho. For me is a fine album, there are some songs I enjoy like "My Pain" or "Not Long for This World" but the general feeling is that is not impressive as people seem to find it, then again I don't find any Slipknot album really solid, there's songs here and there but nothing that good.

Album Rating: 4.0

love the choruses -- this whole thing just blows me away. easily my favorite slipknot at this point (still need to hear their debut and .5)

Album Rating: 3.5

Didn't expect you to like this Sowing!

The S/T is the best, but that’s more of a right place right time thing. Made a huge impact when it came out.



To me, Eyeless off the S/T and Disasterpiece off Iowa are the two songs that hold up best from the early era. There were some interesting more experimental tunes even back then but bith of those were destroyers that really captured what the band and sub genre as a whole were trying to do at the time



Off of Vol 3, it’s Vermillion PT 1 that holds up best. Also the only one where the shitty production kind of works for the song.



This album would have made a great follow up to Iowa.

I liked these guys in high school/college but then stopped listening to them for a bit (entirely missed out on .5). Always enjoyed their blend of intense screaming/clean vocals, so I had my eye on this release for a couple of months.

Sowing, were you ever into the mid 00’s bands that did the heavy verse melodic chorus thing like ATR or scar symmetry

Album Rating: 4.0

Scar Symmetry rings a bell and if by ATR you mean All That Remains then yes

Album Rating: 5.0

after Vol. 3 i didnt like their music. But they really surprised me with this one. So far great and for me best album of the year so far

Album Rating: 3.0

something is off about this record and i just can't get into it.

The music?

Album Rating: 4.2

you guys aren't missing out on anything with .5, it's easily their worst album to date

Album Rating: 4.0

Red Flag goes so hard.

Album Rating: 4.2

yeah red flag is one of my favourites for sure. critical darling and nero forte are up there too. i also hated unsainted when it first came out but im really enjoying that now

Album Rating: 3.5

Unsainted sounds better within the album but is still blatant pandering towards the charts.



Orphan is a personal favourite here, Solway Firth is definitely up there too.

Album Rating: 4.0

does slipknot still think they have a shot at chart relevance? lol

I enjoy it for what it is and it didn't feel like pandering at all to me

Album Rating: 3.5

It is pandering towards the masses though, really hooky chorus which is really reminiscent of Stone Sour.



A band themselves that are on rock radios constantly.

I think Orphan should’ve been the opener with Unsainted following it

Album Rating: 4.0

I'm not most in tune with rock radio so I'm sure you're right

But all I know is I'd hate a Slipknot album that doesn't offer any hooky choruses

Album Rating: 3.5

They do it well in all fairness, I like the song anyway I just feel like it doesn't fit in with anything else on the album.

Album Rating: 4.0

Agreed on Unsainted. Wasn't into it at first, but now l love it. The chorus is epic
