Consistent continuation of Subliminal Verses !!!

Well over four years it has therefore now taken up Slipknot serve us with a new album and I have to say that they refine the path of their third album on All Hope Is Gone on and deliver a sheer grandiose album, which with "gematria ( The Killing Name) "or the title track" All Hope Is Gone "also like shows where their roots lie (from the major debut), but with" Psychosocial "," snuff "or" Sulfur "and the new sound, which from the third album is added, contains.
My absolute favorite on their current disk are on the one hand the single "Psychosocial", which gets stuck immediately in the ear canal with its catchy chorus and his tough verses and other "Wherein Lies Continue" which somewhat reminds me of "Vermilion" and after a few runs in my opinion the absolute About song mutates. In addition, with "Gehenna" a song on the disc included with what Slipknot absolutely new, because you can not arrange the song to their previous, what actually is possible still in the other.
If you look at the collected works also have to highlight positive that Slipknot now be increasingly Trash shrink influences in their songs and also the factor of the guitar solos also became further screwed up. What some good songs to come, because the tension is kept high until the end of some songs and it also shows a certain enthusiasm, which the band when playing this disc probably had.
The production is also very well done without Rick Rubin at the controls and is therefore without blemish and Joey's drumming is still one of the best in the entire rock business.
However, All Hope Is Gone is far from perfect, the just for mittte Album threatens the plate slipping in the average because here consecutive some inconsequential pieces and I got the first run already with the fear that it is the album after strong the beginning could only be a mittelmäßie plate, but towards the end I taught the guys from Slipknot better.
Especially at "Dead Memories" you get the feeling that it is about to see an Stone Sour, Slipknot album instead of a, I do not mean to say that the song is bad, but somehow it is misplaced on the album, because it by itself a couple of times listen to an inconsequential radio rock song sounds.

Remains to mention that a great fan of Slipknot's first two albums I own them but concede a certain refinement of, because in my opinion, is Slipknot's music thus much anspruchsvolller and professional become as in the first two LP's and, particularly on the current album, do not need to shy away from comparisons with Machine Head.
Besides, it's not like that the guys would at once make only peaceful and radio-friendly music, their sound is still harder than that of many other bands of this genre, the only difference Gege over from earlier actually only that they jetz vermhehrt put on clean vocals, which you can take bad foul them with the hammer voice of Corey Taylor well. That's why I find the criticism by some people here quite unjustified and the album even in the rock / pop pigeonhole to is totally absurd.
