First paragraph made me lawl.
Couldn't agree more with the review. Although I'd probably score it a full point lower. This is just plain bad.

For me the keyboards were the highlight of the album, and even then they were hit and miss (but at least resembled something from an earlier era).

The album sucks so bad, the only good thing about it is the Eddie Murphy cover.

Quote: "My Funeral"
First, get your facts right.
Second, never mention shit like Slipknot when talking about metal, this is ridiculous.
Third, Are You Dead Yet looks pretty good for you now? Holy shit someone needs a life.
Last one, let me hear what you think about the production, I didn't get that point.

Aside from that elitist standpoint, let's be honest. If we're allowed to talk about CoB on Metal Storm, we should be allowed to talk about Slipknot on Metal Storm.

I'd take Slipknot over anything CoB have done in recent years. Slipknot retain the virtue of being good at what they do more or less, unlike this total joke of a band.

My sentiments exactly. While I don't personally enjoy Slipknot's latest offerings, I still see the merit in their music.
CoB... not so much.

Everyone his opinions on the bands, mine would be in that case that we could put up Linkin Park equally then.

Yes we do, this happens to be my opinion. If I wanted your opinion I would read your review. My point on the production was that I didn't want to get into it because it speaks for itself. Whether or not you actually like the production, is up to you. I actually like CoB (sometimes) but this album for me, was pretty bad.

I've said this many times before, but apparently I'll have to keep repeating myself until the end of my days on MS:
If I had a penny for every time a random retard bashes Slipknot, with no apparent reason other than the fact that it's cool to do so, I'd have enough money to buy [band]'s (CoB's, in this case) discography.
That is all, enjoy being a hypocrite.

You don't have to repeat yourself but apparently you do so for your personal joy, and I don't know what's cool in bashing Slipknot? I am not active in the boards so I don't know whether there are people bashing this or that band. I just claim that their music sucks (my opinion) and it ain't metal, that's it. I don't give a fuck what others think about it.

To me it's as much metal as Linkin Park is (they are very comparable), close to the border.

Then you're deaf. They sound nothing alike. Slipknot are practically thrash in their first few albums and have never resembled Linkin Park. You must have giant spangly turntables in front of your eyes.

Well their debut was kind of like an alternative death metal album so maybe that's where Joe is getting the thrash vibe.
Either way, still metal. And probably still "more metal" (if such a thing can be quantified) than CoB.

Written by [user id=35732] on 15.03.2012 at 17:38 Some bouncy metal with the flow of rap music, some hardcorish (or if i have to, death metalish) angry vocals and dudes bashing percussions, spiced with dj things.
I'll take that over CoB's bland shredding and formulaic song structures and Alexi's laughable excuse for growling or screaming or whatever it is he's trying to do.

This leads me to the conclusion you've only heard a few soft tracks from their 2008 album and thus have no fudging idea what you're talking about.

I don't know what tracks I've heard from them, some songs on youtube or shit, because I didn't want to hear anything else from them ever again. It was just plain bad and ridiculous how they look and they playing this softy metal-called shit. So in a way you are right.

If you only heard a couple of songs... you lack any right (let's not even talk about credibility) to say they are metal or not. Let alone the fact that you compared them to Linkin Park in terms of sound. What a joke Might as well say that [incert any power/symphonic metal band] ain't metal because I heard a couple of songs which turned out to be ballads (and they have a shitload of them). Or that Opeth aren't metal because the first album I downloaded was Damnation or Heritage.
People say "oh but that's my opinion" well... In my opinion Mozart is grindcore... can I really say that and back it up as an opinion without real arguments like you? Hell no, I would be fucking wrong and that's end of the story.
I guess every band that uses turntables sounds the same now....

totally no death metal (alternative or otherwise) on their debut. That some of the guys in Slipknot are death metal fans does not make it death metal It's closer to thrash than death metal. But the first Slipknot is an archetypical nu-metal album. But totally metal it is.

I've never heard death in their sound, but I have picked up a couple of thrash vibes here and there but yeah, it's pretty much Nu-metal in one of their truest forms.

I don't know if you are familiar with the both bands' (Knot Park) debuts, but the turntables aren't the only similarity. Slipknot was the aggressive one, whereas Linkin Park (with the less 'furious' tracks of its vanilla nu-metal) was ok for mainstream radio channels.
Slipknot was also all over the mainstream radio channels at the time of the debut. Just as much as Linkin Park

I see very few similarities between Linkin Park and Slipknot, I see enough to not ignore them... but I see still too few to say they sound alike.

Well, on some channels maybe, MTV played Slipknot videos quite a lot, at least on some shows. Linkin Park was all the time pretty much everywhere. We live in a different countries, so different radio cultures maybe? I listened both of them from a CD anyway. Crush the radios
I ignored both on cd and switched off the radio whent hey came one. FOund them shit at the time and still find them shit today.
Both bands clearly aimed at popularity and mainstream succes and were and still are marketing gimmicks

It kind of feels their popularity has lowered or is it just me? I mean, Slipknot might be same as before but it feels like less people are caring about LP.

The 2 first Slipknot's are still quite great, especially Iowa (the last tracks in it are the climax of it). Linkin Park's [Hybrid Theory] was fun at the time, now ok. Well, yea. I don't really care about things outside music.
Also Slipknot's first two are horrible to my ears always was and always will be. Wannabe sound like extreme music but failing at it.Yes I did hear those albums in their entirty cause some frineds of mine seemed to love it so had to sit through them at parties.
