1. I mean they're old now, they can't demonstrate the old vibes from them it's like they need to reserve their energy because performing as a metal band is very hard……

2. I look at music song by song. Adderall and the dying song were great to me. There was another song that combined elements of country which I'm not a fan of with elements of black metal which I am a fan of.
   At the end of the day I'll keep listening to Adderall and the dying song.
   I want all musicians especially Slipknot to be able to make their own music that they feel in themselves on their own time. I don't want auto tune and over produced catchy garbage.
   Killpop and A liar's funeral are some of my favorite songs ever that seem to have come from a place somewhere deep in the soul of someone else.

3. I find this album so boring, like the one before and i'm a Slipknot fan.

4. You've been pretty quiet mister corey. I think you realize the new album is 👎🏼

5. I personally like every album that Slipknot has came out with so far I mean some people get sick of music or a band or their sound and they move on to whatever new crap comes out I'll probably always like Slipknot as long as they continue to do what they do that is awesome

6. fans are the worst haters I swear… You don't have to like it but just because you didn't, doesn't make it bad.

7. I wasn’t a fan of the direction but it’s certainly not a bad album because the members of Slipknot are great musicians and wouldn’t put out anything subpar. It just isn’t for some people. People need to understand that its 100% possible to not like but still respect something.

8. That batman analogy is so true

9. leaving my comment to see in a couple of years people coming back saying: it was actually good, we werent prepared for it.
   idc what everybody says, if i do, i would be hating things that i do love so this is one of these things, ppl can complain all they want, for me its a great album and one of my favs already.

10. The singles released were tight. But when going through the record the first time, I was like "Ahh, this is another All Hope is Gone"
    And from what Jim said in the interview, the same problem of not being together enough was the problem with AHIG.

    I'm sure with some time, Corey can be a bit more honest about the record. It's not near as the quality of Chapter 5 or WANYK.
    But thats more about the incredible material they turned out in those albums, than the shortcoming of this one.

    So I'm hoping the flat response to "The End so Far" leads to another big effort like Chapter 5 was.

    Still the best metal band

11. I really liked the last album. But, this album is so awesome. Slipknot continues to adapt and mature its sound. Haters can hate. If you are hating, then you are not a true maggot. Period.

12. I love their new album. At first I was disappointed but then I went back and actually took the time to listen to it and I see what they are doing and I love it.

13. Been a maggot since day one.
    But I am a little disappointed in it.
    I wanted another Iowa/Slipknot album but thats just personal preference; its not bad but it isn't what I wanted as a day 1 maggot.

14. Plain and simple. After several listens the new record has its high points, but the lows are what make this album. Not that impressive.

15. Didn't know they have new album. Don't like anything from them since fifth album included, but I'll give it a try, maybe.

16. Slipknot is life

17. Acidic
    De Sade
    Hive Mind

    Are all in my top 10 Slipknot songs of all time now, I actually love the new album.

18. I think the new album is great. Not their best for sure, but it's great. De Sade, Hive Mind, Chapeltown, Finale and Dying Song are really good.

19. Dude who’s talking shit bout this album? This album is Fukin good!

20. Yo whats that intro song

21. when did slipknot become woke weakling victims?? "u dont like it bc it isnt iowa" is exactly the same as saying "u just dont like the movie bc youre racist and u just dont like xx race" its the exact same denial. the album was a bust. im sorry. it doesnt mean i love slipknot any less. but yall can stop going out of your way to kiss their asses none of the songs are memorable. they are mixed like shit and honestly we were hyped up so much for a worse version of AHIG and slipknot is just a business now. they arent a band that stands for anything anymore. they have become what they despise. again. if the album is so great why arent they playing any other songs off it?

22. Slipknot hasn't made a good album in over 20 years. Period. I haven't even bothered to listin to anything they've done since their 3rd album disappointed the shit outta me. I agree with Corey that they wouldn't be where they are today without selling out to a radio friendly sound. They continue to make the same poppy, radio friendly album over and over. What their currently doing is repetitive and mundane. It would be a breath of fresh air if they made a heavy album. Even on Iowa the track "left behind" seems so out of place with the rest of the album because they knew they needed one radio-friendly track, and completely sold out on the following album. They only do what their record execs and bank accounts demand they do. Without the masks and gimmicks they would have faded into obscurity a long time ago. Do yourself a favor and listin to Morbid Angel if you want some real inspired metal.

23. Great stuff! We would love to feature you on our blog

24. Slipknot is no different than KISS….the most over rated band of all time.

25. Say no to mall metal.

26. Freaking love slipknot and their new album is lit!! People just love to complain these days but you know what, if they did nothing but release the same stuff over and over again they would be getting slated for keeping the status quo and never doing something different! This is a band that’s being rocking the world for 28 years, still selling out shows, still getting number albums, I think I trust their judgment at this point as to what makes it work

27. I have no problem with their new album and I've been a fan of them since 1999, and it's understandable that they wanna to something different and experimenting with their new sound and their dark world.

28. What about batman really?

29. Never listened, reviews were so bad I didn’t want it to ruin Slipknot for me.

30. Slipknot needs to work with Ross Robinson again.❤

31. Stfu pretentious Corey, Iowa is very far from being one of heaviest records of all time.
    You're bassically saying that the thing was rushed, Jim saying that he was not totally happy, all this in a matter of days after the record came out, and you expect fans just eat whatever you want?

32. Beginning stages of record deal: Yeahhh let's get some!!!….last album obligation: Let's finish this and get the f..k outta here…every single time.

33. idk man. I dont think I'd be bored if they kept making super heavy records over and over. their first two are the only ones I listen to.

34. I love the album, they are artists and grow and experiment with everything they put out. Adderall itself is a masterpiece. Critics stfu if you don’t like it.

35. Not bad but not my favorite with jim root not having much to do with it due to him being depressed during the lock downs

36. Duality A+ the rest sucks

37. I like the new album. That said, I immediately was like, "This is not a Slipknot album…" There are some truly heavy tracks on here, it's just if Slipknot wants to give people Stone Sour once in awhile, they should just say it's a Stone Sour album. I still hate Vol. 3. I put it back in the rotation recently just to see, and I still hate it. Fuck. It's really just a production problem. Rick Rubin doesn't do it for me in metal. Maybe his hip hop/rap credits are well-deserved, but I also never liked Slayer until I finally saw them live. Rick Rubin cost me years of enjoying them.

38. I agree with Corey Taylor! People need to be Grateful with the material they created no matter what I luv Slipknot!! I haven't listened to any of there Recent albums since (The Grey Album) But I think my interest has just been piqued. 😌

39. I liked it … weak start from whole first song and maybe yen but I'm on board

40. I'm a Slipknot fan. I wasn't expecting Iowa 2. This new album sucks though. Half of it is shitty Stone Sour and the Slipknot tracks are mediocre at best. Weak effort.

41. Mid

42. I think it's great that Slipknot is trying new things it's the reason I love Slipknot because that are constantly trying new things it's why I fell in love with the band

43. Sounds like Taylor needs to humbled

44. Slipknot thinking they wrote one of the heaviest albums of all time LMAOOOOOO
