IOWA
SO THE NEW SLIPKNOT IS FINALLY HERE, I'M SURE A LOT OF YOU HESSIANS HAVE BEEN COUNTING THE DAYS.
I'VE ALWAYS FOUND IT COMICAL HOW THE BAND AND LABEL PAWN SLIPKNOT OFF AS A NO-GIMMICK, NO-FRILLS BAND. A BAND IN IT ONLY FOR THE MUSIC, WHILE THEIR ENTIRE ACT IS A FUCKING GIMMICK! TAKE AWAY THE MASKS AND BARCODES AND THEY'D STILL BE PLAYING VFW HALLS IN IOWA. ALL THE MEMBERS GO BY NUMBER AND NOT NAME WHICH ONLY THICKENS THE IRONY OF THE CURRENT MUSIC INDUSTRY. WOULD YOU EVEN NOTICE IF ROADRUNNER REPLACED # 4 WITH A NEW GUY? I DOUBT IT.
SLIPKNOT HAVEN'T LOST AN OUNCE OF INTENSITY EVEN IF THEY ARE A HILARIOUS PARODY OF THEMSELVES. THE MUSIC IS A LOT BETTER THIS TIME AROUND. I HEAR MORE SLAYER AND LESS NU-METAL.UNFORTUNATELY AT TIMES THE MUSIC SOUNDS THOUGHTLESS, AS IF THEY USED THE FIRST THING THEY CAME UP WITH KNOWING KIDS WOULD EAT WHATEVER THEY SHIT OUT. "LEFT BEHIND" IS ALMOST AS INFECTIOUS AS "WAIT AND BLEED", AND IF YOU CAN GET PAST THE INSANELY RETARDED CHORUS IN "HERETIC SONG", YOU ARE LEFT WITH AN EXTREMELY BRUTAL SONG WITH LOTS MORE DEATH METAL IN THE MIX.
BUT, IT MUST BE SAID ALMOST ALL OF THE NU-METAL REGIME IS NOW DESPERATELY PLAYING CATCH UP WITH THESE GUYS (MUDVAYNE PLEASE TAKE NOTE). SLIPKNOT HAS MANAGED TO SET THE NEW STANDARD IN AN INDUSTRY THAT IS SO SHALLOW YOU COULDN'T DROWN A MIDGET. THE BELL RINGS, THE DOG GETS THE BONE... ANY MORE THOUGHT THAN THAT MAY CAUSE MIGRAINES.
NEVERTHELESS, SLIPKNOT ARE AT THE TOP OF THE HEAP RIGHT NOW.
THIS NEW RECORD WILL SHOW YOU WHAT THE HYPE IS ALL ABOUT. ITS BRUTAL, BRAINLESS, MINDLESS AND MEANINGLESS AND THAT SELLS.
BUT C'MON GUYS, "IF YOU'RE 555, THEN I'M 666"..... SOME OF US DO READ THE LYRICS !!!
