Brian Ivory's Album Reviews
Issued at a time when many had possibly had written Slipknot off as past it they make a glorious come back with possibly the album of their career.
Taking elements of each of their previous outings while moving forward with some brilliant new sounds and ideas the experimental "Spiders" been a highlight along with the strange "My Pain" this time out the experiments seem to work whereas on past albums The Grey Chapter they seemed to miss the mark.
That's not to say the brutality of old is missing "Nero Forte" & "Solway Firth" are prime slabs of that old Knot aggression sure to keep fans happy with the single "Unsainted" surely been one of the most exciting opening tracks on a metal album in a long time.
A Highwater mark of an album and will be seen as a modern classic in metal in years to come.
Not a wasted minute throughout brilliant vital, exciting.
5/5
