OUTSTANDING! This is the best SlipKnoT album by far!
Slipknot are my favourite band and the reason for that is:
The vocals (Corey Taylor) is just amazing.
Some of these bands vocals nowadays are rubbish. Either they can sing but not shout. Or Shout but not sing and try to but make a mess of it.
Whereas Corey can do both and very professionally.
And has done for all 3 albums.
I just hope that 'All Hope Is Gone' is as good.
(All Hope is gone and phycosocial are very good songs, Look on youtube for them.)
The guitars are also very good with long, fast rifts.
The drumming is by no doubt very good. Very fast but not a racket. It fits in with the rest of the music very well.
GET THIS ALBUM METAL HEAD'S OUT THERE BECAUSE SlipKnoT RULE!
LONG MAY THEY KEEP US MAGGOTS ROCKING!!!

most people don't like to admit they like the old Slipknot stuff nowadays, because Nu Metal isn't popular any more. that does not, by any means, mean this is a bad album. Nu Metal at its finest, with some songs you can jump around to, and just enjoy. Slipknot are one of my favourite bands of all time, and their debut made them who they are today. however, the lyrics aren't very intelligent. i mention that because i dug this album out of my rack the other day, and i went through the lyrics, and they suddenly didn't sound as good as they did when i was 12. but, anyway, it's a solid album.

this album is amazing, i recommend it to anyone who likes metal! they are such a good band:)!
