Review title: As a former fan..
Product review: I'm going to ask you to either resist your impulse to buy this album, or stop listening to it if you already own it. I used to love Slipknot, so I can't just get on my high horse and scream about how stupid any fan of this band is, I know the appeal, I know what the name Slipknot represents to a large number of people reading this review.A few years ago I thought Slipknot was the absolute pinnacle of aggression and honesty in music. The fact is that this music is so far from honest that it makes me sick, the rock back-beats and vocal hooks blatantly pander to an impressionable fan-base, and the attempts at heaviness totally rape the amazing accomplishments of Grind and Hardcore bands that preceded them.So here's my plea: don't buy this album until you've listened to Converge, Pig Destroyer, Breather Resist, or early ISIS. There's myspace pages for all of the above and amazon samples galore; at least give them a chance before you make this miss-step.
