[QUOTE=bringonthebreakdown;16613301]same here... i love blogsearch.[/QUOTE]

this man knows whats up.

Is anyone excited here for the new album.I see a lot of people saying it sucks, which is unfortunate. I LOVE the new Slipknot CD. It comes out August 26th on RoadRunner Records and it is sure to please all you maggots out there! It's (sic)!

lol

I think it's silly that people are saying Slipknot sold out with this new album.

Slipknot sells out every day

If they sold out they would have made an album with actual hooks on it.

/likes the new hooks :(

no my joke was there are very few hooks on the album

I felt like there were a good amount. And they weren't really lame like the ones on Duality and Before I Forget.

it's whatever though

In my opinion you can't sell out. Just make good music. And that's what slipknot does.

yeah bro stay (sic)

Your "logic" escapes me.

Their attempt at playing off of Meshuggah's sound begs to differ.

i'm totally remembering all of the threads and posts from when the last Slipknot album came out



god help us all

That was so long ago, and right around the time I joined this site.

I like AHIG more than Vol. 3

Hey, yeah I know i'm new here. But my point is I think music is an artistic expression. And whatever you feel you want to do is valid. Meaning you can't sell out because it's art. I know it's not the "normal" with songs like snuff. But it still is a "slipknot" album. I'm a huge fan of them, but I won't say i'm a blind follower. I love this new CD as it's own and I don't plan on comparing it to their other works. I feel each album is it's own piece and deserves to be looked at as such.

lololol



josh, the original guitarist produced my bands first demo way back in the day

I was talking in regards to the new album being evidence of them selling out.

[QUOTE=Benzum;16619462]if heavy music is going to crack the mainstream why cant it be good heavy music that really annoys me[/QUOTE]

You really think that there is no appeal at all?

Protest The Hero should be the new Nickelback.

pickelback

they wouldnt have gotten the press they have if it wasnt for the masks

you cannot be 4 albums into your career, with millions of fans and make shitty music

seriously

i think they keep changing them cause it would probably be completely boring and stupid to have the same thing on every album, if thats what they were choosing to do

and i've seen enough live videos to know, they're not bad
one bit

your opinion is flawed

its also good to have your balls waxed
i hear

i would
smoothe as eggs i tell you

[QUOTE=Benzum;16621190]oh no i do get why they are so popular but i dont care what anybody else says about this but they wouldnt be as big as they are, or even famous [I]at all[/I] if it wasnt for the [I]masks[/I]

you know at the time, 1998 when they recorded the self-titled, roadrunner etc, it [I]was[/I] different and people digged it[/QUOTE]

Meh, good for them for having a wise marketing plan.

[QUOTE=Benzum;16621201]well you [I]can[/I], though
i dont think that some of the fans would even be fans at all if they didnt wear those masks
its the thing that anybody associates slipknot with, fan or not (why do you think they keep changing the masks every album)
[/QUOTE]

Mmm... c'mon, I don't think people are that shallow that they would listen to a band just because of their image. You're understating their music. As a matter of fact, I'd reckon Slipknot would have a whole different audience if they didn't have their same image.

[QUOTE]You're understating their music[/QUOTE]
understanding?
i think you meant underrating or something along those lines lol

[QUOTE=Benzum;16621228]yeah maybe but would they be making the same sounding music?
i dont think they would be as heavy without the masks and they certinally wouldnt have 9 people in the band

so without the guy who hits trash cans and occasionally screams down a mic they would just be another 4 or 5 piece band and looking the way they [I]do[/I], i dont think they would crack the mainstream like they have done.[/QUOTE]

Well, at their MFKR stage, they already had the masks going on, the two percussionists and a sampler. The music between MFKR and S/T isn't too different. But again, if they had stayed away from the gimmicky stuff, perhaps they may have made much more 'heavier' music, without cracking the mainstream.
