I like the new album. Wasn't crazy about all hope is gone except for a few songs. They are awesome live. Took my then 15yr old son to see them in bham in 2015.

They are one of the most powerful live shows ever.

Go see them and check back in. Whether you like Slipknot's brand of rock ........their live show is insane.

I would go see them again in Dallas but LSU/UT. Hate its the same night.

As a metal head, I just can’t get into the new Slipknot. I’ve tried and I just can’t. Nothing will ever beat late 90’s/early 00’s Slipknot

Solid Album.

Unpopular opinion but the Gray Chapter has some absolute bombs on it.

I have the original Iowa vinyl. Class of its own. But all that said Vol. 3 holds a special place in my heart.

Huge fan of their first three—self-titled album, Iowa and Vol. 3 (my favorite of all their work—like to listen to every song on this one).

Unsainted, Nero Forte and Solway Firth are some of my favorite Slipknot songs though. I think this album is up there with the three listed in terms of quality and staying power.

I want to like them - I really do.

Last Christmas I bought a Mick Thomson series Jackson Soloist - not because of Mick Thomson, but because I just love the guitar. Then I really loved the Slipknot preset amp sound on my Marshall Code amp. I use that sound for a bunch of songs even though I don’t play any Slipknot.

So things seemed to be trending to me becoming a Slipknot fan, then I read about Corey Taylor calling Trump supporters “F@*#ing morons”. Slipknot can go suck a dick.

I think that is almost how all metal heads start off lol.

The trump thing you have to let go as ALL celebrities hate Trump. Just separate work from opinion.

I really like the new album. Iowa is my all time favorite. I can listen to that album fully. I remember when that album was hated on. Similar to 10,000 days by Tool. It grew to be one of the favorites.

Corey Taylor is easily one of the biggest douchebags in rock. Its best to just ignore reading any of his interviews.

I’d have to stop watching movies and couldn’t watch Saints games (Payton) if I paid much attention to the anti-Trump nonsense out there. I haven’t noticed much political commentary in their songs at least. If it’s there please don’t tell me

It’s good. Not great. Definitely the same concept to each of the two or three songs I’ve listened to so far. Kinda the same.

But certainly good.
