All Hope Is Gone - Slipknot - Early Doors Album Review

Postby bobbyp on Wed Aug 13, 2008 3:10 pm

Just seen a track-by-track album review of ‘All Hope Is Gone’ on the Quietus.

Can’t believe what’s been written. The writer, for the most part says it’s garbage comparing the band to Whitesnake and The Scorpions.

Have a read:

http://www.thequietus.com/articles/slipknot-s-i-all-hope-is-gone-i-not-just-a-clever-name-says-john-doran

What does everyone think?

This is the site that had that run in with Metallica over a pre-release review of their new album remember?

Doesn’t sound as though they’re gonna make many friends with Slipknot fans either with this. That’s what this is as well, a pre-press review. Uh-oh!

This should be in all music...

And probably shouldn't exist. Look at their silly masks... Is this a bot?

well, after reading it, it is only the one song that is compared to them, and it sounds like a slow one, although from the writing style, i wouldnt take any notice of what these plebs have to say anyway. mean, what sort of fucking review is this for a track??????

"‘Butcher’s Hook’
Awesome. I wonder if Slipknot know that this is cockney rhyming slang for take a look? It’s easy to imagine all the best butchers from history – Sweeny Todd, Leatherface, Arkan, the guy with the cleaver from Delicatessen, Pat, Frank, Ricky; all of them naked, with hard-ons dancing round a white tiled filleting room with blood and faeces dripping down the walls. “Ric-kay! Ric-kay! What’s goin’ on in there Ric-kay?!” “Uh, nuffin’ Bianca Lahv. I’ve just got some friends round.” "
what exactly does that tell anyone about the song itself???? wankers.

Slipknot are an odd band to catagorise, because while they are nowadays a nu-metal band, the first album was seriously heavy with some proper thrash riffs on it, and even though i will no doubt get stick for it on here, i loved the first album.

Right Mort's point wasn't that it didn't make any sense at all (though it still makes little sense) but none in relation to the song.
Anyway, I loved the first Slipknot album and was vital in moving me onto more extreme music instead of Limp Bizkit and Korn. I was into dogshit. I now consider a lot of the stuff on the first Slipknot album lame and I think a lot of the lyrics are really dumb (Surfacing, for example) but it's a long way for trash and sounds more sincere than a lot of the popular metal music that was around at the time....

I loved the first album - it more or less got me into proper metal. However, I have to say that what I've heard from this new album has been utter bollocks, it sounds really like Stone Sour, who are unbelievably gash. I can't stand Corey Taylor these days. He's really shit at singing live too, especially when he starts doing a really lethargic mumbled rap. Terrible.

I just watched a few Slipknot interviews on Youtube for the hell of it, and I can't believe what a bunch of arrogant, angsty, up-their-own-arse dick heads they all are. They sound like depressed teens: no wonder that is what their fanbase is like too.

When you guys say first album, do you mean self titled or M.F.K.R?

If you mean self titled, you're all shite.
