Simultaneously, it does evolve the band in some ways while also touching on elements of every album that came before it. It's great. And gets better with repeated listens Sleep Token Even in ArcadiaI finally realized that I only visit Sputnik to see what new music is out and honestly could not care less what any of the community actually thinks4.5 superbHe Is Legend Endless HallwayOrthodox A Door Left OpenGreat album start to finish. One of the best drummers in the scene as wellTallah The Generation of Danger3.5 greatLook Outside Your Window Look Outside Your WindowAfter nearly 20 years, the long awaited "Slipknot" album has finally surfaced. It was always prefaced to be nothing like Slipknot and more akin to Radiohead or Pink Floyd. It certainly does not reach those heights but still has some decent material regardless. Much of the album is stream-of-consciousness jamming. It sounds like most of the songs aren't finished in a traditional sense, you won't find the usual verse, chorus, verse, bridge formula here. However, there are some interesting ideas Corey Taylor has some great melodies and some unique screaming bits unheard in past Slipknot records. Jim Root put more of his personal influences on display here. Ranging from stoner rock fuzz guitar, all the way to pop punk chord progressions. Surprisingly, there are really nice bass lines here as well. Jim played bass and it shows he is equally talented on both instruments. One criticism I do have is the drumming leaves a lot to be desired. I have never been a fan of Shawn Crahan as a main drummer. His rhythm choices are one note and while they serve the songs well enough, they don't do anything interesting. Overall, I feel this album is great. It reminds me of the more melodic parts of Volume 3 and We Are Not Your Kind. I expect many Slipknot fans will dislike the record. But there's enough here for non-fans to enjoy an experimental side of Slipknot.2.5 averageBring Me The Horizon Count Your Blessings | RepentedRun of the mill deathcore from the Myspace era. Maybe with modern production it could be interesting but the material here is very one note and generic
