Product Description:
After over 5 million albums sold in the US, Slipknot returns with their most powerful
statement yet - All Hope Is Gone. Filled with the fury people have come to expect from
Slipknot as well as some extraordinary surprises, this album is the culmination of the
band' s 9 unique members, three platinum albums and their 10 year journey at the top
of the Hard Rock genre. Kicked off by the powerful crescendo that is Execute and
Gematria (The Killing Name) and ending with the blistering track All Hope Is Gone
- the album is a cohesive statement about the world today and truly cements the
band as one of Rock' s heavyweights. The lead single Psychosocial will propel the new
album to match and exceed the success of the last album, Vol 3: Subliminal Verses
which produced numerous Top 20 songs at Rock radio including a Top 5 track at Active and
Modern Rock radio.
Album Description:
Hailing from the 'middle of nowhere'- Des Moines, Iowa - SLIPKNOT are a true phenomenon of modern Metal.Fortified with an arsenal of blistering music saturated with screams, drums, searing riffs, sampling, scratches and melody, Slipknot's music runs the scale from eerily thought-provoking to utterly terrifying. Already hailed as a landmark in Metal music, their self-titled debut is now close to Platinum status in the UK (over 280,000 shipped), while their second album 'Iowa' made an even bigger impact. Heavier and even more uncompromising, it debuted in the UK album charts at Number 1 (shipping Gold on release) and capped it with a debut sold-out UK Arena tour which spawned their ground-breaking 'Disasterpieces' DVD release. With their third album - 'Vol 3' - the one the doubters said would never see the light of day - the band demonstrated their seemingly innate ability to connect with existing fans (affectionately dubbed "maggots") while pushing the limits of the genre in all directions. Another UK Top 5 and Gold album 'Vol 3' has gone on to retain the sales level achieved by 'Iowa', a rare feat in this digitally-ravaged music business. While Nu-Metal (a genre Slipknot were unfairly tagged with) has long since gasped it's last breath, Slipknot have proved that they really are in a field of one. Now the Grammy Award winning nontet are back with their fourth album, 'All Hope Is Gone', recorded this spring in Slipknot's home state and co-produced by the band and Dave Fortman (Evanesence), mixed by Colin Richardson (Machine Head).All Hope is Gone is more of a statement than a record. Corey Taylor comments, "Every album we have made is a statement about that space in time. I think this era is the most mature, most beautiful and the most powerful. We have made an album that will show the road behind, the road ahead, and where we are as men. I think it's the best thing I've ever made. And I challenge anyone to prove me wrong."

After being a fan of slipknot since the 7th grade after discovering that such a crazy band existed of psychopathic mask wearing maniacs, I've listened to every slipknot album with the exception of 9.0 live, seen them live, and have their disasterpieces dvd. I have to say that after the raw animalistic sound of their debut album, their more streamlined sophmore album, and their more mature and experimental 3rd album, I was not too sure how their 4th studio album would sound, and after giving it a listen, I have to say it brought a smile to my face. The album is like a sample platter of each of their previous albums, songs sounding very heavy, some more streamlined, and some soft, there are also some more experimental songs on here that are very soft, and others very different. All in all, if you can respect an artist for maturing, this album is worth the listn if you are truly a fan of slipknots music.

Look on the bright side. Slipknot can't due any worse than this album and their next one (if they aren't too embarrassed to release one) has to be better.

All Hope is Gone starts out much the same as the other Slipknot albums. They build you up with an intro track and you lose your mind on the first song. All is certainly good there.
After that, Slipknot attempts to evolve into a band that should be called, Slip-Sour.
Instead of keeping up the pace with the blistering, opening track, "Gematria (The Killing Name)", they go into a mid-tempo, radio-friendly rocker. Granted, there is always some of that on their albums and often they are good songs. "Sulfur" IS a good song. Unfortunately, it isn't even the most commercial song on here by any stretch.
The hardest aspect to deal with is that Corey sings WAY too much on this album. If I wanted the Stone Sour singer, I'd buy Stone Sour albums. Pretty much every song on this album has Corey using his singing voice to some degree. Yuck. He has a good singing voice, but in Slipknot, it is best when used in moderation.

It's been way too long since the last Slipknot album. This one is no disappointment, there are a few kind of slow songs that remind me of Stonesour but the heavy songs are sick. A must have.

maybe theyve always been immature and its taken me this long to figure it out? idk...
after reading through reviews here amazon, it leaves me wondering. are they wrong or am i?
i think this album is amazing. theres really not a bad song on the album, except dead memories. i dont get why slipknot put a stonesour song on thier album.
let me break it down for you.
execute- the typical intro. builds a nice atmosphere for the album.
gematria- what can i say about this song that everyone else hasnt? most reviews ive read completely bash the album and say gematria and psychosocial are the best songs EVAR!! whatever.
sulfur- nice song. i like the double kick with the heavy guitars. the chorus is catchy and the guitar chug along nicely.
psychosocial- same as gematria. btw i hate listening to this song on the radio. the ultimate breakdown is cut out. it pisses me off so much.
dead memories- worst song ... Read More
