I've been listening over the Slipknot albums all day and while the production on AHIG is much nicer and cleaner, there's something about the raw aggression on the first album that makes it much more appealing to me.

Self titled sounds really dated in places

I just can't get past the childish (to me at least) aggression in the first few albums. To me, it's just the stuff that generic nu-metal is made of. Even Iowa, which I do enjoy to an extent, falls victim to this in my opinion. And it's why I enjoy All Hope Is Gone so much... it seems like there was more of a focus on the quality of the music itself than the angsty lyrics. I don't know, maybe that's just me

I can see where your coming from but I don't necessarily think this is whole lot better

I get your argument and All Hope Is Gone isn't a particularly bad album by any means, but sometimes it sounds like really middle-of-the-road metal to me. For a band that's grown off such a provocative image, the middle ground just doesn't suit them.



idk maybe I'm just being a moody teenager as always

It's also probably the fact that I didn't grow up with these guys so I don't have many of the nostalgic memories that other people do of this band

Anything post Vol.3 feels like going through the motions to me.

Can't connect with this album, most songs are pretty bland

Yeah I agree with you.

.5 feels like they're trying a bit too hard to be what they once where.. 'If rain is what you want' is excellent though

So apparently Mick Thompson was stabbed in the back of the head by his drunk younger brother

Corey Taylor has called this his least favourite Slipknot album to date, and honestly I'm inclined to agree.
