All Hope Is Gone

I had very high expectations for this album. The first album was GREAT and the other 2 were ok. I didn't like it at all because I am into that hard and heavy, make you want to headbutt concrete, kind of stuff,(DevilDriver, Lamb of God, As I Lay Dying) and this certainly isn't that. If you like all that wimpy Nickelback, Shinedown, Saving Able, Staind, etc. crap then you might like this album. However if you are a vicious metalhead like myself, you'll want to throw this thing out the window. It's up to you . .

Well, what can I say? No, it's not the best, maybe it is not even the worst, but it didn't meet my expectations, so that's bad. The first cd was killer. None of their other cd's come close to the first. I guess this time around I was really hoping for something so good, after being so disappointed with the previous cd's (aside from their first). I have them all and the only one I even listen to is the first one. I listened to the others maybe 2 times and it just wasn't satisfying. So, now they just collect dust.

This Slipknot album is excellent!! It has a hard/melodic/crunch style and is addicting to listen to. The song Snuff sounds like it would be more Stone Sour like, but the rest of the songs are all Slipknot! Gematria is a sick song that I cant get out of my head. If you havent bought this album by now, your missing out.

Slipknot is a great band with great tone, but the new knot is (obviously) slipping compared with their earlier work.

First of all, I liked the whole album. A little different from their other releases, but solid. I loved the pacing of the entire album. from heavy one song to mellow another and back to something in-between. My favorite track has to be Vendetta. Awesome! and Snuff too!
