They have done it again! I have been a Slipknot fan now for going on 8 years, since I was given a copy of their self-titled album in 2000. From then on I have been hooked and own every album since and the majority of their DVDs. When they announced this album was going to be 'their heaviest yet' I didn't know what to expect, but this album is heavy! Songs like Gematria and Butcher's Hook are simply brutal. However Slipknot have again tried to stray away from their cliché nu-metal heritage and incorporate much more experimental work into the album. Songs such as Sulfur and Gehenna are both good examples of this, both songs are classics and experimental in completely different ways. The album as a whole is definately worth buying, I can't stop listening to it.

Album Notes
The four-year gap between Slipknot's last album and ALL HOPE IS GONE found the members of Slipknot diversifying with successful side projects like Stone Sour, but the time spent was hardly wasted. The fresh experience and exposure to other music has helped the masked metalheads deepen their sound. Touches of thrash, rap, industrial, and surprising melody have helped in Slipknot's evolution. "Gematria (The Killing Name)" and "Butcher's Hook" employ the brutal double bass drumming and cascading tempos of metalcore, along with a harsh vocal style. Elsewhere, the melodic vocals more characteristic of "nu-metal" and of singer Corey Taylor's work in Stone Sour crop up, almost tipping into power-ballad territory on "Snuff." Both "Pychosocial" and "Dead Memories" recall the hard, knotty funk of Korn, and the title track itself is a desperate, riff-heavy anthem. Overall, the dark, sophisticated palate that has kept Slipknot above the alternative metal pack is still in place.
Album Reviews
Spin (p.118) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[The songs] find Slipknot's usual self-loathing and internal hostility becoming even heavier and more powerful when it's turned outward." Kerrang (Magazine) (p.50) - "[A]n uncompromising and ever-evolving creation, combining the power and uncertainty that most have come to thrive on....[ALL HOPE IS GONE] sees Slipknot finding new, unexpected ways of making their noise heard." Blender (Magazine) (p.82) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[With] dark balladry and textured melodies....Slipknot make ugliness sound just a little bit pretty."
