Slipknot - We Are Not Your Kind (August 9, 2019) Album • Page 7

I’ve only heard the singles but I feel like “Birth of the Cruel” is Jay finally finding his place in Slipknot on drums. Absolutely creative and pushes the band into a great, groovy territory.

 

On the last two albums I'd agree but the creepy samples and percussion came back in a big way on this album and I'm super happy bout it

 

Honest question, why are Craig and Sid both in the band? I would assume that a “DJ” would do both samples and turntables in any other band..?

 

I wonder about this too (though it is super cool how many people are on stage so it def adds to live show aesthetics). I’d be interested in soloing out their parts on tracks to see what each is doing

 

I've got too many things to say about this album. It's all so fucking great. How can a song like Spiders work so well for a band like Slipknot? And My Pain is amazing.

I'm not sure there's an experiment on here that doesn't work.

 

Only 12 more hours until I can dive in.

 

Am I too excited when I say this might be the best use of electronics/samples on a metal album since White Pony? Probably.

 

I like how Slipknot has one of the extraneous dudes -- probably Sid or Craig -- running on a treadmill thing on their current live setup, just like Rammstein does with Flake when he isn't making computer noises

 

Sid has long had a tradition of doing crazy stuff on stage when the song doesn't call for scratches. He broke both his feet doing a stage jump once.

Craig doesn't move all that much on stage, by contrast.

 

If

If I was wearing that helmet Craig wears, I probably wouldn’t move much either

 

Spiders is such a cool song. WOw.

 

Only through Nero forte so far but damn, that song is unreal.

 

About to jump in. The hour runtime seems a bit long but I’m excited.

 

Unsainted is so much better in context

 

This album is MEATY

 

This album absolutely fuck. Ing. Rips. Jesus. I got chills multiple times on my first listen which hasn’t happened for some time when I threw on a metal record. Jay Weinberg fucking GOES OFF.

Early favs: Birth of the Cruel, Nero Forte, Red Flag, Spiders, Orphan (Christ, Jay!!), Solway Firth.

Nero Forte's bridge brought a huge smile to my face....this album's fun af

 

angery reacts only

 

damn - drew just gonna add another perfect score too

 

Digging in and already loving it

 

Who knew Slipknot and Korn would come back full force in 2019 with their best albums in years (assuming the rest of the Korn album will live up to the first 2 amazing singles)?
