Still crap, just catchier crap.

So, what makes it "crap"? Is it just because you don't like it?

Slipknot sucks.

To be more specific, its boring, and never goes anywhere, the rhythm's a little catchy, but its still crap.

the only song from the new album i like is psychosocial but even then the solo is very lame and goes nowhere

So I take it that Deathcult will not be buying the newest Slipknot release?

If I ever buy ANY Slipknot album, I want Ult to personally kick my ass for being so stupid.

by the way I checked your website very cool so far I have only going thru the Alice Cooper review section ( I am huge fan of the Coop)

Thanks, I just started the reviews actually, I dont have alot of time for reviews generally, but I try. Glad you enjoy it.

Ever heard the side project of Slipknot's Shawn Crahan called To My Surprise?

Couldn't be more different from Slipknot. Sort of a fusion of the Beatles, Pink Floyd and jangle pop. Not great but a heluva lot better than Slipknot.

I've heard a couple of clips. It's ok. Very different.

As for Slipknot, I like 'em, if you haven't figured that out. But I'm not one of those people that think this is the almighty metal band. There is no way on God's green earth that they are any better than a Metallica, Megadeth, Sabbath, Maiden, Priest or Van Halen. I mean Eddie Van Halen has five times more the talent than all nine Slipknot members combined, imo.

Just thought I'd clear that up with DeathCult going crazy and all.

i didn't start this thread, because I wanted to show how awesome Slipknot are - I personally do not like their stuff at all - I just thought this was a little different than the other crap they have released - I won't purchase the new album, but I have listened it through - it is musically an improvement, but nothing special at all.

I am in the miniority here, I am not a major fan ( I think they
are overrated) but I do like the first two albums s/t and Iowa. Not the
answer to the universal ear orgasm but good.

Wow, that Slipnot song really sucked!

It's not terrible but nothing I'd go out of my way to get either.

That seems to be the case of everyone of us here. I will readily admit that if I don't like something, I will call it crap.

As for Slipknot, I find the music boring and repetitive, but if you like it, more power to ya. Also they do their own thing and it brings them sucess so I am happy for them but that goes for any successful musician/artist whether I like them or not. The only thing that gets on my nerves as far as Slipknot goes is Hit Parader's fanboy obsession with them. Almost every month I see a new issue it has them on the cover. Not only that, recently they have them with the title "The #1 Band Of The 21st Century" and there is also a special all Slipknot edition. I'm sorry but that is just too much.

Hit Parader isn't know for their hard hitting music journalism, they are like the Tiger Beat for metalheads, they would put the Jonas Brothers on the cover every month if they were labeled as heavy metal.

the jonas brothers turn my stomach over

Why do people need to justify liking Slipknot. Like, all the positive comments here are like "I know they're not great musicians, and I still like Sabbath and Maiden better, but..."

I disagree. Joey is a very talented drummer, Corey has a pretty good vox, and I know they are Eddie and Randy, but Mick and James are very capable guitarists.

I was just kidding I think they are all capable musicians, I am fan.

I have not heard one thing that I like by this band. I even listened to samples of the new one, and thought it also sucked.

so T-1000 does that mean you are not a Slipknot fan?
