    I remember first hearing this album and I was so shocked. The band all being well into their 40s and sounding like this, making their heaviest record since Iowa. An absolutely amazing record. From the intensity of Critical Darling to the catchy harmonies of Spiders, I think I'd rank this one in my Top 3 with the Self Titled & Iowa.

    Words cannot express how much I love this album, I've never looked forward to an album more than in the lead up to this coming out and it absolutely exceeded my expectations. I wrote a massive review of this record a couple years ago but I'll try to keep it brief. Everything we've ever seen from Slipknot is turned up to 10, it's got the heaviest riffs, the weirdest soundscapes, the slickest cohesion, Corey's best and most contrasting vocals and lyrics. Unsainted, Nero Forte, Critical Darling and Solway Firth are all top 10 Knot songs for me, but every track is perfect to me, be it a dynamite song or a gorgeous transition track (I'd include My Pain). I love that's it's cyclical with 'I'm counting all the killers'. I'm sure there are some qualities I'm forgetting because there are so many elements of this record to love. I basically have it as equal to the debut, it might as well be the best album ever. It's that good.

      I agree wholeheartedly. It's a perfect album imo. No skips, nothing sounds out of place either. And you're right about their being a lot of weird sounds and unexpected portions to this album but it works fantastically in emphasizing the creepy atmosphere of this record. If I ever do a Slipknot album ranking video I'd be curious to see where this one lands, cause it's certainly up there with Iowa and self titled.

    I love this album, and honestly, I don't see what some people don't like about it. The flow between tracks is immaculate and it balances the intensity of Iowa and risk taking elements of Vol. 3 perfectly.
    Sure, it isn't the heaviest thing in the world, but it doesn't need to be. They're all pushing 50, they either get old and mellow out a little into a more artistic direction or the more depressing option, they don't get older.

Hydrograd from Stone Sour has better sounding drums and bass for whatever reason. I just cant enjoy an album that has not interesting sound engineering to me at all.

    Sid (the DJ) really shines on this album, Corey's lyrical writing is really cool, and Jay's drumming is freaking phenomenal (especially on "Orphan").

      I liked The Dying Song and Yen. Hated Chapeltown Rag. That song is just so all over the place. None of the different parts feel like they go together at all. It has some cool individual parts to it, but the way it was all thrown together was offputting. Almost felt like they had no idea what direction to go in and just made a hodgepodge of a song.

    For me, it's 6th place among their 6 albums (excluding MFKR). I've listened to all 6 over 30 times each so some have grown on me. My first exposure was AHIG, and I feel I enjoy more tracks on it than WANYK, but just by a couple. For Self-Titled, I love every track, including the demos and bonus tracks! (ESPECIALLY Scissors and Prosthetics) Same for Iowa, but I'm more often in the mood for ST than Iowa. The Gray Chapter is SO underrated! I love almost every track, especially Sarcastrophe, Skeptic, and If Rain Is What You Want. Vol. 3 took several listens to appreciate, but surprisingly I like it now, ESPECIALLY The Virus of Life. That's one of my favourite songs of Slipknot! For WANYK, I feel the first 4 tracks are somewhat weak, and I don't get the hype for Unsainted. Do people like it because they were introduced to Slipknot with it? Not sure, but I wish All Out Life could have replaced it. For AHIG, I like most of it, with Gematria, Wherein Lies Continue, All Hope Is Gone, and 'Til We Die as highlights. To summarize, psychotic Slipknot is my favourite side of them to hear.
    1. Slipknot
    2. Iowa
    3. .5 The Gray Chapter
    4. Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
    5. All Hope is Gone

    Seeing how fond you’ve become of Slipknot is so rad. I bet you would really really enjoy Errorzone by vein. It’s an album that I’d say pays tribute with love to that early nu metal sound. If you ever want to listen to some hardcore that sounds like nu metal it’s one of the best out there honestly. It’s also really cool to see someone take to Slipknot given how much different they are than they were in their heyday so to speak. The turntables and extra percussion snippets add so many new layers to their songs it’s truly so so unique. Seeing how open minded you are about so many different genres is awesome, a very cool trait to have!

    Fun fact: There was an alternative version of What's Next with vocals that was originally intended to be on the album, but for what ever reason they chose to go with an instrumental. There's a demo of it floating around on youtube if you want to check it out. Personally I wish they had went with that version, as it adds to the eerie build up leading into Spiders.

    An interesting fact about this album is that "My Pain" is actually a song from a side project called "Look Outside Your Window" recorded in 2008 during the All Hope is Gone sessions by 4 members of the band (Corey, Shawn, Sid and Jim) in a house near the main studio. This album is still about to be released and according to them, it sounds like Radiohead.

    This album is easily their best since vol. 3. I agree that I love the electronic/sci Fi/futuristic/horror feel that you described this album of having. Makes it stand out from other Slipknot albums. I can't wait for the new album when it drops! \m/
    And after that, you should look up slipknot's demo album called Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. It was released in 1996 and not only had fewer members at the time, but Corey was not in the band yet. It's quite something to listen to. Regardless, I think you should go buy yourself a Slipknot shirt and declare yourself a maggot. \m/
    One more thing. Here's a few albums I recommend for you:
    Marilyn Manson - Antichrist Superstar
    Disturbed - The Sickness
    Rob Zombie - Hellbilly Deluxe

    Killswitch Engage - The End of Heartache
    My Chemical Romance - Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge

    This album is indeed fantastic. You know a Vol. 3 is a very polarizing album that split Slipknot fans, and as a fan of both the Vol 3/All Hope Is Gones sound and their older Iowa and self titled sound I thought this album kind of marries both styles of more heavy and more melodic sound. I really enjoyed it. Strangely my friend whole loves Vol 3 and AHIG didn't like it much, which confused me lol
    Bur my favs were Unsainted, Nero Forte, Orphan, Not Long For This World, and Spiders. Nero Forte in particular really surprised me with its chorus, which was just a breath of fresh air and was awesome and somehow fit such a fast paced song.

    • @TheJokesterSCR
      @TheJokesterSCR Рік тому +1

      Unsainted, Birth of the Cruel, A Liar's Funeral, Nero Forte, Not Long for This World, and Solway Firth were all amazing tracks. Orphan is okay, but I feel it's overrated since it somewhat resemblesThe Heretic Anthem, but it's nowhere near as good. Songs like Insert Coin and What's Next are completely pointless. Then songs such as Death Because of Death, Spiders, and My Pain are painfully awful. It's like half of the album is awesome and the other half is terrible, in my opinion. So, I totally understand why your friend didn't care for it much.

      I'm with your friend on that one. I love Vol. 3. AHIG is okay and has a few songs that I love. This album is the worst to me, it's the first one for me to not own a physical copy of. I can barely tolerate listening to this whole way through. There's a few decent songs, but too many cheesy moments and unnecessary filler. I'm also not fond of the super polished production, I like Slipknot to sound a bit more dirty and raw than this.

    imo this album had the best production by far in terms of keeping the slipknot sound. Which is my problem with their other albums for me, some of their earlier work had so much production done that it removed the heavy industrial sound that you hear when they perform live. Songs like Spit it out are NIGHT AND DAY live vs via CD

    Definitely my favorite Slipknot album since Iowa. Vol. 3 has a lot of high points but is far from my favorite, I can’t get behind the slick and polished sound of AHIG, and The Grey Chapter is just alright imo. This album really brought them back for me!
    By the way, you should listen to All Out Life. It’s the first single for this album but wasn’t actually on the album, and it’s a great track. Awesome video as usual Molly!

    The only thing I think it's worth criticizing about this record is the absence of the song with the album's title, All Out Life. I remember it being one of my favorite by the band and I wish it was on the official release track list.
    Other than that, I genuinely feel this one is on par with their first album and only behind Iowa, such a great record. The the full-on aggressiveness returned but the melodic and atmospheric aspects remained and it blended incredibly well with the help of the electronic side. It is also very experimental I feel, songs like Spiders and A Liar's Funeral are a great departure of their previous sounds (in my opinion) to travel through newer stuff and it is very well implemented.
    Also, Red Flag might as well be my favorite from this record overall, followed by A Liar's Funeral and Solway Firth

    My favorite thing about this album is the drums. I think Jay's drumming on The Gray Chapter was competent, but clearly trying to emulate Joey Jordison's style. His performance on this record is much more his own, but still chaotic and unhinged in a way you'd only get on a Slipknot album.
    I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the album Crisis by Alexisonfire. Their whole discography is excellent but Crisis is the jewel in the crown.

      There was another channel that I saw where they listened to a Tool album but tried it in three different scenarios to see if each offered a better experience: Once whilst jogging, once whilst skating and then at home (I believe). I found that was kind of a unique approach.
