I gotta admit, ever since Yen as a single came out I can't stop singing it in the shower.
😂😂
De Sade really stands out to me as my favorite song on this album, has so much going on with it
De sade got buckcherry and alter bridge vibe ✅🔥👍
Progressive metal 🤘
Exactly I don't hear much people talking about it, Corey's delivery is so... Beautifully manic, is the best way can describe it.
Me too! The intro is such a gift to the fans, its a callback to prosthetic. The bassline coming after, and during the chorus is what makes the song for me, its so good
The track that stood out to me was Adderall. I waited for it to sound like Slipknot it was really unexpected. Good album overall!
Yep, very unexpected for me too! And the fact that it's the opener on this album just really threw me, so different but I really enjoyed it.
I like the bass sound on this song
the producer for this album also did kyuss and queens of the stone age albums
and adderall sounds exactly like thoes bands
U should do QOTSA albums some of the best rock albums ever imo
Exactly I don't know why so many people are hating on it because it's different. They ain't gonna make every album sound the same
It reminded me of Kasabian
Loved the album so much. Very different from the pas albums, like how each and every member gets to shine. Especially Jay, V-Man and Sid!
Love Warranty and HiveMind
Jay sucks.
Not even in the top 1000 drummers.
Joey was in the top 100
This album is banger after banger there's so much creativity and energy to it
I agree! There's so much variety on this project.
Oh I wouldn't go that far. A banger to me is that song that grabs you at the start and never let's go where you just can't stop banging your head throughout it.
I thoroughly enjoyed the album, liked it better than tbe last one, better guitar work, cooler riffs and solos are finally back.
I really liked The End So Far, for some reason I wasn't expecting much from it but it surprised me!
Me too, I love birth of the cruel, spiders and solway but the rest was a bit bland for me.
TESF is maybe more straighforward, but I find it more enjoyable, samples by craig jones are very memorable and starts nicely a lot of songs. It gives a "halloween" malevolent vibe, just like Self titled. Riffs are fun too I strongly agree
I've been listening to Slipknot since my Freshman year of high school back in '06-'07, I waited in line at Best Buy to purchase AHIG on the day it was released back in '08.
That was the first Slipknot album I ever bought, it's still my second favorite Slipknot album to this day and I will defend AHIG till I die.
I was going through a very rough time back then and Slipknot gave me strength to fight my autoimmune illness called Systemic Scleroderma, I was very sick at the time and I was undergoing chemotherapy in the hospital once a month for a year (I was 17 at the time).
Metal gives me strength, it gives me life, and it gives me peace. #MetalWillLiveForever #MUYA
Thanks for sharing, it's really cool that you got the chance to grow up with Slipknot's music.
@@mollyesanborn thank you! Metallica and Slipknot were the bands that got me into metal, so both bands hold a special place in my heart.
So, are you gonna go back and listen to all of the bonus tracks from each album? I think you should also check out the Pre Corey Taylor Slipknot album Mate Feed Kill Repeat (MFKR) and the Demo album called Crowz, it's VERY different from Slipknot with Corey Taylor and it's actually heavily influenced by Mr. Bungle.
It would be a real treat to introduce you to the original Slipknot, it sounds like a completely different band even though it's mostly the same band members.
@@bighomiestevethemetalhead8131 I'll definitely give Mate Feed Kill Repeat a listen! I'm really curious to hear Slipknot without Corey on vocals. And I'll have to see about doing a bonus track video too.
@@mollyesanborn awesome, I'm sure a lot of us would love to see that. Keep up the great work Molly! 🙏👍👍
only issues with the album are the abundance of marching snares in several songs (dying song, chapel town rag, hivemind, warranty) they're good-great songs, just hurt by marching snares and Jay could have done a altered verse-beat for hivemind, the verse beat he uses is the same as all out life (the blasts are amazing though), . Also, Hivemind uses a riff from Irresponsible hate anthem by Marilyn Manson and the main part of H377 is a part from Warhead by Otep, part from these little things, it's a good album and GREAT video as always Molly. MFKR to finalize the Knot
I'll definitely do a video for Mate Feed Kill Repeat! Really intrigued to hear it.
I agree. The Slipknot stomp with the keg on the 2 of every beat in roughly the same BPM is getting kinda overdone. Main reason i love this album is for its weirder more melodic songs. They should've delved even further into that weirder direction imo. More De Sade and Acidic, less Heirloom and Dying Song.
It really is becoming their go to and Corey's vocals just being bar for bar is becoming very unimaginative
@@mollyesanborn If you're unfamiliar with mansons work, you should check some of it out.
Agreed 👍
Now you should check out their 1996 demo Mate Feed Kill Repeat. This was back when Anders Colsefni was the vocalist, sounds like a completely different band. Love your videos!
I'll definitely be giving it a listen! It'll be strange hearing Slipknot with a different vocalist but I'm really intrigued to hear it.
@@mollyesanborn That album is SO weird, but so cool because of it. Do Nothing/Bitchslap and Gently are the standouts, and for very different reasons. You think THIS album was different, wait until you hear MFKR. I love it for how different it is, but it's different in a very fun way. They throw in very unexpected elements. I'd really like to see you react to it sooner than later, because it's probably going to be quite a comical reaction, haha!
@@TheJokesterSCR Slipknot was a completely different band when they released MFKR, that's my favorite era of the band. Their shows at that time were so dark, schizophrenic and theatrical, they were very inspired by Mr. Bungle, they even used an intro of one of their songs to open their shows. By the time they signed to Roadrunner in 1998, they had completely strayed from that weird style and become what we know today.
@@mollyesanborn It's...interesting
I've heard it twice, and the second time was better. It may grow on me. I liked Yen, Hive Mind, Warranty, H377, and Finale. LOTS of influences here, such as Mushroomhead, Disturbed, The Unguided, and material extremely similar to their previous albums. H377 sounds like Orphan at the start, and The One That Kills The Least later. There's a line like "But you can't break-" that sounds just like the line in "If Rain Is What You Want".
I'd say it's a grower too, I've listened to it a few times now and I'd say my opinion of it has improved with each listen. They definitely incorporate a lot of sounds from their earlier work, as you pointed out.
Where do you hear Disturbed lol
@@mutatednut The soaring clean vocals of Corey on De Sade. It's that tone of voice that David does often.
@Joe dirty71 Actually no, nowadays they don't hate each other. The fans were the problem, but that's in the past.
In "Acidic" on this album, at 0:54 when he says "cardiac blues" his voice has that Jeffrey Nothing sound (2010 era for sure). Happens a few times in the song actually.
This album has started to grow on me the more I've listened to it. Adderall caught me completely off guard. Kind of gave me Pink Floyd vibes. But it's actually one of my favorite tracks off of the album and it really sets the tone well. I kind of wish that they hadn't released The Dying Song, The Chapeltown Rag, and Yen as singles because they're easily the best tracks on the album. So it sort of felt like the album went slightly downhill after Hive Mind upon first listen. Imo, not they're best album but it's far from their worst.
Also, fun fact, Shawn Crahan actually played drums on Adderall instead of Jay. Kind of interesting.
Adderall is so different! I really love it though, a totally unexpected start to this album.
I wonder if he recorded them from a much different mic than Jay, because tbh they sound dry asf and like GarageBand drums.
Mate Feed Kill Repeat is WAY different from their other stuff. I can't wait to see your reaction to it.
I'm really looking forward to hearing it!
Very well said, fantastic review. Slipknot are becoming the goats of experimental metal. I really enjoyed this LP, the percussion are great, the vocals are aweosme, the riffs are fun, the samples are catchy, there most melodic heavy album by far . like vol.3 meets swan lake.
Experimental metal, I like that. Slipknot has always done some quirky stuff with their music, I like that they continued to push in new directions on this one too.
@@mollyesanborn
Molly, I hope Slipknot will continue with there aweosme experimental sounds, also I'm looking forward to hearing them live at Aftershock for the first time. These new tracks are gonna be epic on stage!
Experimental metal?! The goats?! Not even of "normal" metal. No bro, don't say that to anyone who has a decent knowledge of music, and specifically metal, if you don't want to be embarrassed by other people. Each new record is "poppier" than the last, with all those clean, predictable choruses.
Some of these songs are just the same sh@t they already did before, with new clothes.
Yen is my favourite track! I'm also from Mauritius and Yen in Mauritius means "This is so good!" And it is! My friends and I say "Bel Yen sa!" 🤘
This was a surprisingly great album. Probably my favorite of their's in a long time. It retains core elements with the heavier tracks, has some wild experimentation with variety, and has just solid songwriting. The melodic aspects of the band are stronger, and more upfront. Happy you enjoyed it.
I enjoyed your review, this album is getting a lot of hate on social media but I'm liking it so far.
Opening with Adderall is such a strong choice, but I LOVE it. It also feels extremely Slipknot of them to do lol. Especially tied with the lyrics of Warranty, it feels very much like a, "we've been doing this for years, but you still don't know what to expect" type of statement.
Fantastic album in general though, in my opinion. Some songs almost seem like an entirely new band while others still have the classic Slipknot vibe. I think they pulled off a lot of the experimentation very well.
album keeps growing on me every day. im interested to see where you'd rank all the Slipknot albums.
I'm definitely thinking about doing a ranking soon... not sure yet where this one will land in their discography.
The screams coming from Corey on this album sound more unhinged. Of course his singing is on point as usual. Medicine for the Dead and Acidic are the gems on this album. Yen too.
It’s not a bad album at all. Definitely!
My third favorite Slipknot album. Controversial? Yes but I don’t care. I’ve seen you did Irony as a Dead Scene from TDEP. I would like to see you do some more Dillinger or Meshuggah.
I may actually agree with you... shhh. I still have to finalize my Slipknot ranking but this one is sure up there. And I'm definitely overdue for some more Dillinger here on my channel. I've got a Miss Machine reaction coming REAL SOON, just have to finish editing it. And Meshuggah is high up on my list for future videos :)
I'd say it's only controversial based on what your first and second favourite is.
Love this album from start to finish! Here's my personal ranking of their studio albums:
Self Titled
Iowa
Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
We Are Not Your Kind
The End, So Far
.5: The Gray Chapter
All Hope is Gone
I can't wait to see your reaction to MFKR, as well as Stone Sour. On that note, you should check out the Murderdolls, Scar the Martyr, and Corey's Solo album.
And lastly, here's some more bands I think you should react to their discographies.
Bring Me the Horizon
Motionless in White
Killswitch Engage
Mushroomhead
Black Veil Brides
My Chemical Romance
One of my favorite albums of 2022. It had everything I wanted stylistically digging back from their debut all the way up to their previous album. The range on this thing is insane. Early favorites would have to be Hive Mind, Yen, De Sade, and H377.
Yes yes yes, I'm right there with you. I picked up on elements from all of their previous six albums that they incorporated onto The End, So Far. It definitely exceeded my expectations!
PLEASE
Check Out
Darko US - Oni
I'm really glad you did a reaction and detailed interpretation of the album The End, So Far by Slipknot! I was a little uncertain on if I would like this album.."Chapeltown Rag" and "Warranty" are my favorite tracks on this album. I also do like "Yen" and all the melodic, smooth rhythm during the verses and driven up, intensive sounds of the chorus! There are some tracks that just didn't quite hit well with the early samples they gave prior release of the album...but now that I've heard more of the tracks in full, it's pretty damn good!
Such an amazing album your so Awsome I love your opinion of ed every album cycle of different bands your amazing you rock
Thanks for watching, glad you're enjoying the videos! :)
Finally! Great to see this video
"De Sade" is pronounced "Deh sahd". A French accent to it. Corey screams it repeatedly towards the end of it :) Oh and H377 is Hell.
Nice, I've been looking forward to this one! "H377", "Hivemind", "Warranty", "Medicine For The Dead", and "De Sade" are my favorite non-singles on the new album. It's definitely a controversial album amongst the fans, but I personally love this album! Great reaction as usual Molly! 🤘🤘🤙🤙
I didn't realize it's a controversial album. Do a lot of the fans not like it? I'm surprised by that, seems like they did a really great job of blending all of their styles from previous albums onto this one. The result sounds pretty amazing to me. Maybe not a perfect album but definitely a really solid effort of Slipknot's part.
@@mollyesanborn yeah, there's a group of fans who aren't satisfied if the album doesn't sound like Iowa 2.0. They don't like the softer/more melodic songs and they say it sounds like Stone Sour, which is just ridiculous because these songs sound nothing like Stone Sour.
They want Slipknot to be pure heaviness and brutality 100% of the time, Slipknot was in a terrible place when they recorded Iowa and they will never be able to replicate that because they aren't the same broken and miserable people they were back then.
You can't expect a band to keep making the same album over and over, I actually love the way Slipknot has evolved over the years while still maintaining their own signature sound that can't be replicated.
@@bighomiestevethemetalhead8131 well said brother.
@@slice768 thanks man. I love Iowa as much as any other Slipknot fan, I just find the whiners to be annoying because the come out every time Slipknot releases a new album.
I think there's a few songs on this album that could easily fit on Iowa or Self Titled, this album may not be their best album but it's still a great album and I appreciate how experimental they got.
Thanks for understanding, the maggots brotherhood is strong! 🤝🤜🤛🤘🤘
@@bighomiestevethemetalhead8131 what about the maggots sisterhood ?
I really like you reaction and review. It gives a pretty good overview of what to expect. Keep up the good work! I keep wondering what is next to come. Pretty sure by now you have tons of recommendations!
Awesome video Molly! You’re literally the only person I watch react to music anymore lmao
I enjoy watching you getting down to Slipknot. 😎 Thanks for doing this one so soon 💪🏻 I love all the albums, but I’m enjoying their growth and new elements they have been incorporating in these last 2 albums. Also I think Jay has proved himself on drums, he truly is amazing 🤩 Can’t wait to see what you check out next Molly, 🤘🏻
You should listen to their demo album “Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.” Very different sound and lineup back then.
Also check out “silver disc”, another demo featuring Corey’s first time on vocal.
Its seems like the more you listen to this album the more its grows on you, I liked it since first listen but right now its probably one of the fav by them. I like that they are trying new stuff in every album. and about stone sour they also have jim root the guitarist in slipknot, they both were first in stone sour and then they joined slipknot. Great vid as always btw
Great album!! I really enjoyed! Kudos for Venturella and Sid!
This album was a shocker for me... I grew up with them and to hear them at their age make something this different this late in their career was def an experience some of it was hit and miss as always with me but so far it's up there for me with there best.
Welp, guess I got to drop whatever I'm doing now to watch this reaction. Slipknot never fails to disappoint by offering something unique to their catalog while still being true to the Slipknot identity. Appreciate your analysis as always, Molly!
Simply Delightful! Nice Review Dark Angel Molly!😈👽👻☠💀🖤🖤🖤
The bass on Adderall, nice
I've had Adderall on repeat the last few days. It's so good. It reminds me of the old House M.D. theme that Massive Attack did :) Love this album and awesome review as always Miss Sanborn!
Molly we need a ranking and final opinions on their discography !!
Thx for your review! Im suprised how much fun I had listening to this album, its more straightforward than TGC and Wanyk, and personnally, I think its a good thing.
That's my third fav Slipknot album! H377 is definitely my favorite!!
Your reviews are the best!
Aw thank you! Glad you're enjoying them :)
I'm really enjoying this album! Medicine for the Dead, Acidic, De Sade are a great departure from normal Slipknot. Hive Mind, Warranty, H377 are heavy as hell. Good stuff!
I loved this album, I can't believe how many negative ratings it got. I was so surprised by how soft Adderall was but it's definitely a favorite for me, along with Yen and Hive Mind. Also you should totally do a Slipknot album ranking, that would be so cool!
I hope you'll do some of their demo tracks. Snap, Interloper, and Despise were all included on the 10th anniversary edition of Self-Titled, and they're awesome (especially Snap). Corey is on vocals for these.
Warranty and Yen are masterpieces!
An album ranking would be awesome
Acidic made me think of avenged seven fold a bit. I sure like the album but I also noticed all their intros are slow . Which is welcome but its not alot like their older stuff where they have an immediate heavy hook like psychosocial for example.
Great video by the way!
About Heirloom, I agree. Didn't feel as cohesive on here, but other than that, every song hooked me. You mentioned doing an album ranking at the end there, Hell yeah! That'd be dope. I'm always debating between them all, it's such a hard task. The Knot keeps dropping classic records. You always worry a band will fall off after time but they've managed to gain a second wind with these last two especially.
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 curious to see what you rank the albums if you do. For me vol. 3 is still my absolute favorite 🔥😎
The other day I was looking for a IOWA reaction, and I found this AMAZING channel. Great job girl, I love your content! You reacted to almost all of my childhoods favourite bands. I was just wondering: any Pantera and/or Metallica reaction soon?
Greetings from Germany!❤️
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying the channel. I've definitely got both Pantera and Metallica on my list to check out :)
Looking good Molly
I LOVE these reveiws, even if im not the highest fan of an album, you help me appreciate it! I was wondering if you could do machina - the machines of god by the smashing pumpkins. It's a very unique album and one of my all time favs
Nice video as always. Now it would be great a Linkin Park discography series. Cheers from Mexico ✌️
I love this album 🖤
All songs are amazing
My favourite song is warranty and de sade 🔥🎸👍👏😁
They're so alternative now a lot system of a down like elements going on here and there whether it's the soaring clean vocals or their doomy bass lines creating a lot of dynamic
the 3 pre-released singles (dying song, chapeltown rag and yen, for those who didnt know) stood out to me a lot, but other than those, medicine for the dead is my favourite off this album! it probably sits 2nd, behind dying song (chapeltown 3rd, yen 4th). great album for sure :D
loved your Slipknot reaction series! any chance of more Static-X albums in the near future?
Glad you've enjoyed witnessing my journey through Slipknot's albums! Such a great band that I was sleeping on for much too long. I may do some more Static-X albums, I'll have to see. Even if I don't get around to filming reactions for them I really want to check out the rest of their music.
I like the end so far. I’m getting volume 3 vibes and 5 the gray chapter vibes. It’s heavier and more darker than volume 3 at times.
As someone who has spent the past 40+ years listening to the type of music you've been uncovering for the past year, it's fun to watch someone become aware of "good music" & let others see their experience of listening to them for a first time. Your take on them is pretty spot-on...even though a lot of the music often takes listening to a few times and some familiarity with it, before fully getting the depth and full experience. Somehow you manage to nail it right off the bat. Makes me wonder if you've cheated and taken a listen prior to your videos? haha! The fact you have Metric included is pretty amazing. Regardless...Everyone always seems to have suggestions on what to do next. So I'll give you a recommendation of something give a try to listen to, video review or not. Dreamcatcher.
Here's a short list of what I think you might end up liking, although if you end up knowing who each member is, you'll then find yourself liking everything they've done and will do:
No More, Don't Light My Fire, Good Night, Breaking Out, DejaVu, My Way, Break The Wall, Sahara...Just to name a few. Most of those are B-sides & so their Title-Tracks are a whole other category.
They are coming out with a new release in the next day or so.
Or not. 🤨
Yen and medicine for the dead are the best tracks on the album. But I didn't like Hivemind, it would have been good if I had left the intro and started the song from 2:30, plus these blast beats are not in the subject, but the ending is fat), and I also didn't really like Acidic and De sade. And so the whole album is at a very high level! Thank you Molly for the reaction, I did as usual interesting and beautifully described the first emotions, for this I adore you💕
Thanks for watching the reaction! Acidic is still a weird one for me, I think I like it but it's definitely got a unique tone to it at times that throws me a bit. Overall this album just blends a lot together in what I think is a pretty cohesive, well constructed album.
Todays heavy hitters:
Electronic x 14
Intensity x 15
Percussion x 11
Atmospheric x 8
Fusing x 7
Lots of 4's and 5's as well but it looks like our winner for this week is Intensity!
Thank you for playing Molly Bingo ;)
California by Mr. Bungle needs to be next. It's quite a listen and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on that one.
Can't wait to hear that album!
I love this album. Was very fun to listen to during the spooky season in particular because it kinda had the Halloween vibes to it. I don’t know, don’t listen to it much now because for some odd reason my brain is telling me to “save it for Halloween, trust me bro”😂
Very good complete album.
Hey Molly, thank you for your great reviews! May I ask, did you like this album more, or we are not your kind?
Molly, if you fan of NIИ you must be interesting what Trent Reznor said about band Talking Heads and their 'Remain in Light' album from 1980 as his favourite album of all time:
"One of my absolutely favorite records is Remain In Light by the Talking Heads. It is an album I didn’t understand when I listened to it for the first time in the beginning of the 80s. Back then, I was living in a rural small-town that was widely cut off from interesting culture. And then suddenly this album landed. A strange, synthetic, polyrhytmical piece of art with African influences which confused me in every way. With good albums it is the case that at the beginning you don’t know what you are actually dealing with. But you are fascinated by it, and with about six listens it slowly reveals itself to you. With the 10th listen you are completely thrilled, but even when you listen for the 30th time you still discover something new. Remain In Light taught me that. The record enlightened and changed me. It showed me what music can do, how song structures can look like, or how drum parts can interact with other parts. Since I started making music myself, this wonderful album has been something I can always consult. The great thing is that the record can still be approached from so many different directions without losing its puzzles."
Oh cool, I didn't know that! Knowing the influence it had on Trent's music I'll definitely have to check out Remain In Light now :)
hey molly, do you also buy cds or vinyl from your fav bands!? your channel rocks!
I love their mask too
H377 is the old school barn burner, just loved it ......................................
This album is Amazing 🔥🔥🔥Hivemined, H377,Warranty,Chapeltownrag, and De Sade are my favorite songs on here! Heirloom would have been good if the whole song was like the beginning! I like Sid’s sound at the beginning of it🔥🔥🔥Medicine for the dead was ok
Are you planning to react to more Mr.Bungle? If so I can't wait, those guys heavily inspired Slipknot and System's stuff
Audioslave self titled record is one of the greatest alternative rock albums from the 21st century. It's basically Rage Against the Machine members + Chris Cornell as the vocalist, I hope you react to it one day! :')
Have a random suggestion for you to listen to. The albums are written to listen to it all the way through because the songs feed into each other.
Russian Circles...either "Memorial" or "Station" since they are everywhere on those records. "Geneva' is heavier if you want that.
Another great video Molly! I'd love to see you do a first time listening video for the Manic Street Preachers' 'The Holy Bible' album - it's steeped in mythos, given their guitarist and primary lyricist for the album completely disappeared shortly after the album was released - never been seen since. It's got a very aggressive post-punk sound with lyrical themes ranging from anorexia to prostitution and the holocaust. Would love to see your impressions!
Cheers and keep up the great work!
Thanks for the comment, and glad you're enjoying the channel! I'll be sure to add Manic Street Preachers to my list of bands to check out, sounds like they've got some interesting music.
great album
As glad as I am that Sid gave an excellent performance with what he does, I just wish he used different scratch samples other than the standard sound
If you want dive deeper in metal - pay attention on Flotsam And Jetsam band, on any of their albums, but that say about their debut Slipknot's guitarist and songwriter Mick Thomson: “The speed of the songs and stuff like She Took An Axe, which is a song about [1892 suspected axe murderer] Lizzie Borden are really fast and it sets an aggressive mindset which is good for a work-out. You can’t go wrong with either of the first two Flotsam & Jetsam albums.” (that he said in article 'Slipknot's Mick Thomson: 10 albums that changed my life' in Metal Hammer)
Thanks for the suggestion! I'd definitely like to get into some other metal bands now that I've finished with Slipknot.
This album is getting a lot of hate.. but me I never been a big Slipknot fan but this album I really can get behind.. to me it’s like a love letter to there influences.. you can clearly hear the influences on every track .. just because it’s not typical Slipknot sound doesn’t make it bad ..I truly appreciate this album
I agree, it's surprising to me that a lot of people aren't a fan of The End, So Far. I think it's a really captivating and cohesive project from them.
@@mollyesanborn I am a fan of melodic … and the opener and the closing tracks are prob my favorites on here . Ima sucker for the harmonics lol also a fan of heavy … on this album I can hear so many touches of other musicians and bands from Alice In Chains to Chili Peppers to Nirvana to 70s music and 80 influences and a range of influences shine on this album. I feel if u go in Not thinking Slipknot , Not thinking Stone Sour or Corey Taylor’s solos project what u will find is a deep and rich album
@@mollyesanborn but Molly keep up the great videos . I absolutely love your channel. Love your takes on these albums. Your takes are so real and open and I hope ur channel goes far! And if not I’ll still be here watching !
You never being a big slipknot fan is exactly why you like it.
It's awful!
@@ben_angel yeahhhh cept me not being a big fan doesn’t mean I haven’t listened to everything they ever released from the very first note on the very first track they released back when… I was a teenager when they came to the scene . I have enjoyed some things but not a majority . I’m not new to slipknot but to me this isn’t trash. Maybe to die hard fans who can’t accept when bands change direction and sound
The only song I wasn’t a really fan of on this album was Heirloom. Because despite all the help from the other members, it still felt like 30/30-150 from Stone Sour, Corey’s other band that Jim Root, one of the guitarists for Slipknot, was a part of. I’m not saying it’s a bad song, but it made me REALLY think of the stone sour song and not a slipknot song
Interesting to hear that! I've not heard anything from Stone Sour but Heirloom was the only track on this album that was kinda lackluster for me as well. I'll have to do some videos for Stone Sour now and see what I think of their music.
YESSSS
Talking about electronic sounds, would you be willing to react to some electronic music? Namely, I would suggest the biggest electronic album of all time, The Fat Of The Land by The Prodigy, which was released 25 years ago and hit Number 1 on the album charts in over 20 European countries as well as in the US. You might have actually heard a fraction of it, as one of the tracks was part of The Matrix soundtrack and it was played during one of the fairly significant scenes in the movie.
Btw, The Prodigy are friends with Corey Taylor who was recently a special guest for one of their shows during their UK tour. I wish they would collaborate with him, considering that they have already collaborated with musicians such as Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine and Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters.
First time I've listened to this album, I do not have a strong opinion on it. I feel like I have to listen to it several times for it to grow on me! It's hard accepting new music when it's a bit overwhelming, but that's the experience of being a maggot is going back to the old albums and listening to those niche/underrated songs then you realize 'Hey this sounds good!'.
I was impressed by this album.
They added so many new elements but still sounds like Slipknot, well... With the exception of the 1st track which doesn't sound like them at all (but still good)
Haha yeah Adderall was quite different. I honestly wouldn't hate a whole album from them that sounds like that.
First knot album where I tend to like the later songs more than the earlier ones.
hey, i love your react to this album! by far not my favorite Slipknot album, but it has some really good songs!
i recommend you listen to "Matriphagy", a concept album from a current nu-metal band called Tallah. Cheers!
Warranty is my fav
The song Aderall reminds me of Radiohead for some reason. It sounds vaguely like something that would be on their album ‘Ok Computer..’
Since you're done with Slipknot, it would be interesting if you'd react to Stone Sour, Coreys other Band, they are far more Hard Rock, and it would be very interesting to hear what you think about them.
Absolutely, I've grown to really love Corey's voice while doing this series so anything else he is involved with is definitely on my radar!
Hey Molly, you should check out Rolo Tomassi. Their album Where Myth Becomes Memory is one of the best metal albums of 2022.
I'll have to check that one out, thanks for the suggestion!
like if u were literally about to go to bed 😂
Your usage of “almost sounds like…” is the equivalent of Jim Root saying “you know” lol
This might be one of the weaker Slipknot albums overall, but that says more about the quality of past albums than it does anything bad about this one. I love it on its own merits, but it's hard to follow up WANYK.
That one just came out a perfect time on multiple levels personally, but this one does some stuff I like better, some I don't, I'm just glad we still get new Slipknot.
Great video as always btw 🤘🤘
Yeah, overall their entire discography is pretty killer. Hard to pick a least favorite album, especially when they go in a different direction stylistically on each one. We Are Not Your Kind is pretty hard to follow up though, I'd say Slipknot delivered a very admirable effort on The End, So Far.
Could you try listening to hybrid theory by Linkin park? I think it would be cool to see a reaction series to them sometime soon
Awesome! I knew you’d love it. I mean, it’s Slipknot. I can’t even say I have an issue with any of the songs either. I thought it was interesting and powerful and you can follow the sounds to places they took you in other albums, but they make it new and build upon it or scramble them together. Although it is tough to pick favorites, because they’re all so good, I’d probably have to say Medicine For The Dead is at the top, currently. So…I saw you flipping through those NIИ albums on Instagram…and I’m thinking, Was she looking for something in particular? Did she find what she was looking for and make a purchase? At one time, before my exgf, I had all the Halo’s. I don’t know if you got the old VHS of Closure, but if not, you REALLY need to find that. Hell, I’m sure it’s here on UA-cam actually. 😂
If you like Corey's more melodic side check out Stonesour, I'd recommend House of Gold and Bones Pt 1
Slipknot fans invented so much hate and “oh so controversy” for liking this album. It’s so funny how every album they “want something different” yet when they get something different they complain they want the old Slipknot back.
I love it!
Have you listened to Scream and Don’t Get Close from the special edition of their album Vol.3 Molly?
