All Hope Is Gone - Slipknot Reviews

Slipknot..........where do I start. They are just a phenomenal band and this album continues their reign at the top of the nu-metal scene. Having been a fan for some years now (admittedly not originally) I was absolutely ecstatic when finding out a new album was on the way. This album goes back to the roots of classic slipknot and there ...  Read the complete review

This was the first Slipknot album i ever bought and it had me hooked from the first, i am a new maggot! It lead me to buy Subliminal verses, another excellent feat of musical genius. I was tentative at first, i little unsure of this scary looking metal group but when you discover what they are all about you feel like an idiot for ever doubting ...  Read the complete review

I've been a slipknot fan for years, masks and all that nonsense aside they are one of the most consistent , uncompromising groups in metal who have never shirked from trying to push the boundaries. I must admit though I have had mixed feelings about this album. yes many may have despaired following subliminal verses with its sac religious ...  Read the complete review

With the success of Volume III and an exceedingly great tour, Slipknot seemed to be showing their comfort zone a little too much with this album.

Slipknot have taken a more mainstream route with this - their fourth album. Although a letdown for fans of their first albums, this is still a really good listen. The lyrics are usual Slipknot style - about loss, death and pain. The sound is also very well orchestrated, despite the difficulty of getting nine band members to be able to create ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot are a band that you can listen to at any time and will NOT be bored off, however, this album at times can be slightly disappointing. It is clear that after their last album they have changed their sound, but I would much rather have the old slipknot back please :] For me, the best song of this album is 'Snuff', It's not very ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

Being a long time Slipknot fan, i eagerly awaited the release of the follow up album to Vol 3: The Subliminal Versus's. I bought the record as soon as i could as there was a long waiting list at my local record store. Upon playing is for the first time, i was bitterly dissappointed. Im not sure whether this was because my music taste had changed ...  Read the complete review

Slipknots new album is not what you will be expecting! Those who are die hard fans (also known as ''Maggots'') may find themselfs slightly disappointed with this album. The reason I think this is beacuse its not like the old style they had in the past. For example were before there was heavy tunes such as 'Spit it out' there new songs ...  Read the complete review
