Holy poop this is a damn good album! Slipknot is one of the few current artists that I'll listen to. They're not great but good enough. This album is truly excellent, though. A bit softer than Iowa, a couple acoustic tracks, and.... *gasp* solos! I couldn't believe it either but it was a very plesant surprise. If you like Stone Sour it should really be up your alley. Anyway, just a PSA. Go grab this album.

Yup great album. Softer but you know they can kick it up a notch whenever they feel like it. I do enjoy that they use more melodies throughout the album. Stone Sour vibe is really apparent. Can't wait to see them this year. Would be the 5th time.

From the first few times i've heard the album, i didn't like it. Maybe i like the less-melodic versionf of slipknot :eek:

I think the album would be great if the band wasn't slipknot. I was listening to it and it doesn't sound like slipknot sounds it sounds more like stone sour. While I like both bands independant of each other, I don't like the fact that they're merging. I think they should be two seperate entities. I know that they contain some of the same members but the music does not need to reflect that. I respect them for trying something new and branching out, but this is not the slipknot fix I was personally looking for. I do like most of the songs on the album but as a whole I don't think it's their best.

Yeah I would have to say this album is recommended, really good stuff. Not many skippable songs, it flows well.

up once more

This is really a good album, I've been listening to it non-stop for the past week. Some really good songs The Blister Exists, Duality, Virus of Life, Before I Forget. Well worth listening to

Very very good album, especially if you have a good sound system (subwoofer is a must for Slipknot). A few of my friends hated Slipknot, but after they heard it in my car, they love it. Their beats are very fast and strong.

How does it compare to their first CD? That's all I've heard from them even though I like rocking out to it.

I love the first song. Hell, I love the whole CD.
