Here it is! full track listings & song reviews From RrR -Note This May or May Not Change!
515 (1.00): An unhinged and unsettling intro, featuring 60 seconds of low-end throbbing topped with depraved screaming and yelps from the Knot.
People=Shit (3.36): The first of the songs, recently aired in the UK for the first time at Ozzfest, this explodes into a savage, death-metal style blast beat and some deranged bellowing from Corey. Its instantly apparent that Slipknots second album is a far more aggressive and intense beast than their first.
Disaster Piece (5.09): This kicks off with a trademark, Knot stomp, a la Surfacing and then builds into a series of intense metal riffage, recalling both Slayer and Morbid Angel. Hearsay fans will remain unimpressed. SAMPLE LYRIC: What the fuck are you looking at?
My Plague (3.39): Another immensely heavy track but this time with an incredibly catchy and melodic chorus amid the sick riffs and thunderous percussion. This also features a few blasts of twisted drum n bass. SAMPLE LYRIC: Im just a bastard, but at least I admit it
Everything Ends (4.14): One of the bands most immediate tracks and a potential future single, this again proves that Slipknot have moved forward into more brutal, metallic territory. Reminiscent of Spit it Out, but faster and heavier. Yes, heavier. SAMPLE LYRIC: This is the end of everything, you are the end of everything.
Heretic Song (4.18): Another song aired at Ozzfest and available for Mp3 download at roadrunnerrecords.co.uk - this is another song clearly inspired by death metal and Slayer. An outrageous Angel of death style bass drum break appears amid the shout along chorus and intense chuggery. SAMPLE LYRIC: If your 555 then Im 666
Gently (5.00): An old Knot tune from the Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. days, fully resurrected, 2001 style. One of the mellower tracks the band have done to date, this kicks off with a slow and spooky intro, before eventually speeding up into yet another savage metal riff. SAMPLE LYRIC: We were too being scared to pick one, sorry.
Left Behind (4.06): Originally bearing the working title, Lust Disease, this is considerably more melodic than the rest of the album, providing a brief moment of respite from the outright nastiness elsewhere. SAMPLE LYRIC: As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
The Shape (3.38): Introduced with a tortured battle cry of destroy, this is one of the albums heaviest and most twisted sounding songs, some of the riffs are very peculiar indeed. SAMPLE LYRIC: I lost my only way
Skin Ticket (6.52): Were back in spooksville. A strange rambling song with a killer chorus and an ugly, sludgy and disjointed ending. Distinctly unsettling stuff. SAMPLE LYRIC: Come see my cage, built in my grave
New abortion (3.37): Another song premiered at Ozzfest, this is a classic Slipknot shout-fest, with added aggression and a killer chorus. The maggots will be roaring along with this one. SAMPLE LYRIC: You cant take my soul away from me
Metabolic (3.53): After a cheeky, Slayer-inspired opening riff, this turns into one of the albums most evil sounding songs, with numerous death-metal flavoured guitar lines and raucous, distorted vocals, Nice. SAMPLE LYRIC: Im always ready to die but your killing me
Iowa (15.08): As with Scissors on the first album, Slipknot end Iowa, with a slice of prime indulgence. Fifteen minutes of slow, grinding noise which starts of with a mellow mood and builds up to a series of explosive crescendos. Utterly uncompromising, in true Knot fashion. SAMPLE LYRIC: You will always be mine
