iTunes Review

All Hope Is Gone took Slipknot four years to make because the masked mephistos were busy with other evil endeavors. Singer Corey Taylor and guitarrorist Jim Root found success with side project Stone Sour and drummer Joey Jordison worked with Ministry, Korn, 3 Inches Of Blood, and percussionist Shawn Crahan's band Dirty Little Rabbits. But don't think that All Hope Is Gone sounds like Slipknot have been spread thin — the outside experience gave their sinister sound more musical strength, making for an album that is darker, deeper, harder, and more possessed than their predecessors. It's the first time all members were involved in the songwriting. The experimental noise collage of ".Execute." crescendos into the opening track "Gematria (The Killing Name)", a brutal onslaught of pummeling rhythms and guitar artillery that catapults the anti war lyrics. "Psychosocial" delivers brutally heavy drums that march alongside monstrous guitar riffs contrasting with a melodic chorus of powerful anti-occupation rhymes. And with a fierce title track and three exclusive iTunes bonus songs, this one's going to be hard to top.

Slipknot develop there sound to new limits

This album now has been out less than a day and im already on my fifth listen through, All Hope Is Gone offers a new and more developed sound to Slipknot offering both sides of the equation the melodic and the heavier side of the band captivating in memorable lyrics, captivating solos and just sheer metal brilliance All Hope Is Gone is the album we have been waiting for, like Volume Three was before it this is easily Slipknot most experimental and best album to date. What ever Slipknot do next if they keep developing content like this they will be joining the greats of metal that is if they aren’t already there already. Track-by-Track Review . Execute – Fantastic intro to the album, the lyrics are very powerful - 8/10 Gematria (The Killing Name) – Thrash Inspired song, one of the heavier songs on the album - 9/10 Sulphur – Moving guitar, catchy chorus, great song - 10/10 Psychosocial – What can I say about this song that hast been already, is up there with wait and bleed and Duality – 10/10 Dead Memories – Absolute fantastic song best on the album the guitar work on this track is so memorable for the screeching sound they make on the chorus, fantastic song fantastic lyrics – 10/10 Vendetta – How on earth does Joeys Drum Kit stay in one piece, amazing drumming reminds me of Before I forget - 9/10 Butchers Hook – Great track, very aggressive track, and has a very catchy chorus – 9/10 Gehenna – Great mix between their two styles – 10/10 This Cold Black – Heaviest Piece on the Album, very brutal great song – 10/10 Where Lies Continue – Fantastic song with an incredibly catchy chorus– 9/10 Snuff – Very Melodic, reminiscing Volume threes circle, you can’t help but love this track – 10/10 All Hope is Gone – So Typically Slipknot Brilliant way to end the album – 10/10 Special Edition Songs Plus DVD Child of Burning Time – Possibly should have been on the album, is the one track that in places reminds me of stone sour – 8/10 Vermilion Part 2 (Bloodstone Mix) – Good but not as good as the original, offers a heavier side to the track but wasn’t that called Vermillion?? – 7/10 ‘Til We Die – Amazing song should have made it onto the album – 10/10 DVD – Offers an insight into the making of the album, 35 minutes or so, shows them with the purgatory masks plus has the band recording in studio. Lastly for fans that are put of from the last album due to the more experimental sound of it, give this album a try as though it continues the experimental nature of the last album it is a lot heavier than the last, a must buy for metal fans.

Disgusted

Its an outrage how poor this album is. I was browsing through the over reviews and came across this.... I hope they feel ashamed of themseleves: "1 of my m8z told me about psychosocial I love it normally I don’t like screamy rock I didn’t like slipknot but, there growin on me. x Luv Emma" That pretty much speaks for itself really. Disgusting.

NOT best album - NOT heaviest album

anyone hoping for all hope is gone to come close to being as heavy and as good as their first two albums will be let down badly. this has been hyped up for 4 years and statements made by the band did nothing to help this, claiming to be their best piece of work, their heaviest and most brutal album too date and "it will rip your face off". none of these statements are true. everything that made slipknot so popular has completely disappeared on this album. voliminal was meant to be their experimental album, introducing more melody's and showing a different side to the knot. they nailed it on that album with some catchy melodic songs, acoustic guitars mixed with some heavy classic's. before i forget. blister exists and the nameless. but they are WAY off the mark with this effort. their songs on this album is very influenced by norwegian, icelandic lol high end death metal riffage which is technical but NOT 'heavy'. If you want heavy listen to any static x album or even dare i say limp bizkit's first album which are a lot heavier and crazier than this and is more likely to cause a facial injury. my definition of heavy is obviously very different to corey taylor's. every song seems to have a solo in it which i dont mind but it now seems forced and predictable with slipknot, every song has to have one. nearly every song on their first two albums had a classic 'slipknot' moment in it which made it stand out from other bands, i am really struggling to find any on this album. dont get me wrong, this is a decent album but doesnt come close to their other 3. I will listen to it for a while then gladly go back to their other albums which are so much better. remember this is only my opinion and the album does have 3 or 4 good songs on it. I would recommend listening to your favourite slipknot songs off the first two albums then your favourite's on this one. this doesnt come close. you will probably notice that you, like slipknot, have gone a lot softer and less crazy so to speak. this is understandable though as every band gets older, evolve's and mature's. i will just have to learn to live with the fact that slipknot will never be the band they were 10 years ago. at least i seen them at their peek when they toured iowa, greatest show of all time in my opinion

Biography

Formed: September, 1995 in Des Moines, IA

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s

Slipknot's mix of grinding, post-Korn alternative metal, Marilyn Manson-esque neo-shock rock, and rap-metal helped make them one of the most popular bands in the so-called nu-metal explosion of the late '90s. But even more helpful was their theatrical, attention-grabbing image: the band always performed in identical industrial jump suits and homemade Halloween masks, and added to its mysterious anonymity by adopting the numbers zero through eight as stage aliases. Add to that a lyrical...
