But thank God(umm i mean Satan) they are still here. When i first got exposed to Slipknot in '99 i thought that this band was what i'd been craving for years, however; it never dawned on me that they'd be around ten years later. It sounded like after the 3rd album, Subliminal Verses, that the inner turmoil would be the death of them. Maybe it was the side projects, the demand, or my opinion the sobriety that brought them back for this project. "All Hope is Gone" is by far the MOST incredible, bombastic, and finely tuned piece of work Slipknot has produced to date. This is their "And Justice for All" their "Seasons in the Abyss" or dare i say "Vulgar Display of Power". They have created a monster that will forever be an example of what a band can accomplish after uncompromised but successful album sales amidst an inner turmoil hell-bent on destroying them the way many bands experience through their own decadence. This is a statement, "Hey Maggots we're here to crush your skull again just when you thought we'd never return!!!!" the tracks are so tight, often melodic, but never ever willing to let up with its assault. the album begins with perhaps the heaviest, unrelenting, smack you in the face song on the album, "Gematria". the follow up, "Sulfur", opens with what would be fitting for an army of Satan's minions to rock out to on their way to fulfill the Apocalypse. The duplicity becomes evident in the chorus when Taylor hits notes not unlike a power ballad. But the conflict continues one track later on the hit single, "Psychosocial". Probably the best drummer in metal, Joey Jordison, provides an attack on the skins almost daring you to try and remain still. He destroys everything in his path throughout the album, killing every chance he gets! "Dead Memories", the Slipknot version of a ballad begins on the softer side, for them, and eventually build into a massive, pounding. "All Hope is Gone" never quits for a minute. it is the record that many of US Slipknot enthusiasts have waited for. I can only patiently wait to see these songs performed live when they hit the road next year!!!!!.
