Gematria (The Killing Name) 03. Sulfur 04. Psychosocial 05. Dead Memories 06. Vendetta 07. Butcher’s Hook 08. Gehenna 09. This Cold Black 10. Wherein Lies Continue 11. Snuff 12. All Hope is Gone This is Slipknot's first cd since Vol.3: (The Subliminal Verses) back in 2004. The album wasn't as heavy as I expected, but are some of their best songs. Some of the songs are Stone Sour-ish, but they are experimenting. Which is a good thing. All hope is Gone show maturity. People will love this album and people will hate it, thats what makes it so great. The first two singles released was All hope is Gone and Psychosocial. The songs are good, but not the best songs from the cd. My personal favorites would be Wherein Lies Continue and Dead Memories. Overall, I think you should get this if you are a Slipknot fan. Recommends: Wherein Lies Continue Dead Memories This Cold Black Gematria (The Killing Name) 8/10 Back to top rottingjebus Moderator User is Offline Joined: 29 Aug 2008 Posts: 166 Karma: 2 applaud / smite Location: (I wish I lived in) Finland 129.24 Gil Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 1:09 am    Post subject: · Quote As rude as this may be, Slipknot fucking sucks no matter what. Ahah, my metal thread on another forum - almost everyone on there is fervently anti-Slipknot. Good times. So I guess my opinion of this album is in the first sentance there. _________________ NU-MOD Back to top Inferno Necrosis Administrator User is Offline Joined: 24 Aug 2008 Posts: 295 Karma: 5 applaud / smite Location: Ontario, Canada 706.34 Gil Posted: Sun Aug 31, 2008 1:42 am    Post subject: · Quote Raven, it's nice to see people reviewing. Perhaps, to get a stronger inspiration on reviewing, you should visit www.metal-archives.com, look up a band you like, check out an album, and see how different people reviewed things and emulate the review style you like best, to some extent. You need to be less vague, as the terminology you used can apply to lots of things. _________________ I just want to eat your brains.

But their recent album is the best thing I've heard from them by far.
