Nice review. The two songs I've heard from this were painfully, and I mean painfully mediocre. It seems like they have a good idea here and there, but they don't know where to go with it. I Might waste my time and give it a go.

god i can't wait to see if you weigh in on this or not

Slipknot have never amounted to anything except for tripe music for kids who are going through puberty. There is a very immature undertone to their music and lyrics. You know how you can listen to a band and catagorize them into a specific demographic; these guys fall into the 14 year old boy and younger section.

Pretty much true. But sometimes that adds to the fun of it all.

I hear yeah taylor and I don't want to come across as a "I have better music tastes than you because I don't listen to kiddish music". I have my immature fun bands too, I just think these guys are a little too over-the-top with their ranting about "How shitty my life is". They are like Staind, except alot more heavy metal driven.

Oh hell yeah, you are totally right (no sarcasm). I agree, but like I said. Once upon a time that was all life seemed to be about. Nowadays it laughable and stupid, but still fun, as mentioned. It's not the kind of stuff going to find some radical introspection.

i can agree with the wiz on the lyrical content being immature (those kinds of lyrics is what made me gravitate towards hardcore), but i would say the band as a whole is extremely talented and has always done their own thing

OMGGGZ, best lyrics evaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You've basically summed up my opinion of this album Coc, although I think you like it slightly less than me, I'd give it a 3.

This has grown on me a little more after further listening, still unsure about bumping the rating up though.This Message Edited On 08.28.08

I actually find it quite sad that this album will probably have an average rating of 2.5 by the end of the month...This Message Edited On 08.28.08

This review should open people's eyes a little bit. Slipknot was my favorite band when i was like 16, I think the reason I loved their music wasn't because I was young and stupid but because I felt they were a band who knew who they were, in a sense they were very solid. i feel with volume 3 they just completely got lost, some songs were heavy as hell, some really soft ones, don't get me wrong variety is awesome but not when you sound like different bands on one album. I really feel that it's kinda over for these guys as Slipknot but some of these guys are awesome artists and I'm sure they will be around.

Oh yeah by the way, it's time to lose the masks, half of these guy know damn well they don't want to wear them anymore, gotta give em props though, I feel they are keep them on for their hardcore fan-base.

While I can understand the gripings with the album, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. You can't do the same exact sound forever, but you can have a recognizeable one. I enjoyed being able to actually hear everything on the album instead of having to scan back over and over. The aggression is there along with the power but I feel this time they delivered it with a sniper rifle instead of using mortar rounds, mastered and clean instead of the confusing wall of sound. There is nothing wrong about being pissed at the world still, just now its on a different level. I need a month or 2 to see if I put it in my top list but I like it alot. (side note- Snuff definately either should have had some goofy samples at the end for a lead into All hope is Gone or switched the order.)

At first I was dissapointed, some of the songs were too... Stone Sourey (for lack of a better word) I thought Gehenna was trying to be like Skin Ticket and Prosthetics, and I skipped Snuff (I like Vermilion pt 2 but it sounded too much like Stone Sour's Zzyzx Rd.). But after a couple of listens the album started to grow on me (like most of my favourite albums, Not that it's one of them at the moment) Gehenna is one of my favourite songs on the album, along with Gematria (the killing name) and Psychosocial.



I think a lot of people need to open up their minds with this album, at the moment my only real problem with it is it has too much melodic vocals



(btw I still don't listen to Snuff)
