Editorial Review:Amazon.co.uk Review:For most bands, the process of experimentation involves infusing more traditional song structures with weirder, or less familiar sonic elements. Not so for Iowa's Slipknot.
All Hope Is Gone, the metal neuftet's fourth full-length, finds them further mining the seam that produced 2004's
Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses, adulterating their caustic, percussion-heavy take on thrash metal with acoustic guitars and anthemic choruses. Present too, though, is a heaviness that harkens back to 2001's aggressive
Iowa, meaning the likes of "Psychosocial" and "Dead Memories" mix big, inclusive vocal hooks with bulldozing low-end and savage percussion breakdowns set to arcane time signatures. Nor is it all set to formula: "Butcher's Hook", for instance, sounds nothing like anything in Slipknot's catalogue to date. It is a slamming funk-metal track not unlike The Rollins Band, with broiling anti-establishment lyrics and a huge call-and-response chorus. The occasional Nickelback-like chorus might appall the diehards, but Slipknot are still stretching themselves, and
All Hope Is Gone stands up to anything in their catalogue.

This is an absolutely phenominal album from true rock legends. Its worth getting just for 'Psychosocial' alone. However be warned. This album does not follow on in the trend of Iowa, it delves further into the more varied style present on the subliminal verses album. Some of the tracks such as 'Snuff'are ballads and will not appeal to full on metal heads who loved iowa. Personally i am not a huge fan of iowa and much prefer Sliopknots more tuneful stylings of the subliminal verses and all hope is ...

Slipknot have sold out! Money seems to have robbed them of the anger and guts that made them worth listening to in the first place. They seem to be trying to cash in on the popularity of the current emo fad!
A very trendy and crappy record, if your a fan of proper metal then don't buy this...

I brought this album in special edition and i must say it's the best slipknot album yet. songs like: sulphur,dead memories,butchers hook and psychosocial are the best to listen to and backed up by so many other cool tracks this album is a rare treat and the best album of 2008.

Slipknot are a strange entity. They've created a clever image for themselves that allows them to stand out from the crowd (Who says metal has to be serious all the time?), yet their music hasn't always followed suit.
Their first album was not what you'd call a classic in the grand scheme of all that is Metal. It had a dirty, heavy sound but the quality of the songwriting was sporadic, the riffs were often similar, and prone to a lot of noise for the sake of it.
It also went downhill very ...

A quality album- not fot the die hard fan of Slipknot- they have adpated there sound a bit - solos and awesome riffs to head bang too. personally it shows they have matured as a band and moved on from the old sound. Still very heavy in parts- enjoyable if your into headbanging and not the imagery and bandwagon that people jumped on with Slipknot- this is about the music and very impressive!
