Advantages: Great for Newbs to the Slipknot scene

Disadvantages: changes to slipknot image and sound have alot of old fans annoyed

Fresh of their recent Hiatus, the 'NU Metal' band Slipknot is back with 'All Hope is Gone'.

As a self proclaimed 'maggot' (slipknot fan) i wasn't very impressed by this album when it compares to their others but none the less is still a good album for anyone interested in the genre.

Still containing Slipknots trademark percussion wall and chugging riffs it still is none the less a heavy album except they have experimented with other sounds and all nine members have brought in their ideas to make this a completely different album to the rest, even containing accoustic songs and as Slipknot puts it a 'A Dark and Ominous Power Ballard'.

Overall a good album if your new to the works of Slipknot but a dissapointment to alot of earlier fans. Still a great buy and great to listen to.
Can only hope they go back to their earlier roots with the next one.

Summary: a great album to own but not their best
