Slipknot – We Are Not Your Kind (2019)

October 20, 2024

And with WANYK (ya friggin wanykah m8!) we are back to the muddy, middling, mediocre Slipknot that I thought I would find on on 5 – The Gray Chapter. There’s a few standouts here, but I find that they are usually the super fast “death metal” parts that are the intro to some of the songs, and then the rest just falls off into boringville. “My Pain” was the only song that genuinely held my interest from start to finish, with its drone-like electronics.

Production-wise, it’s not quite as good as 5 and the drums sound significantly worse, but otherwise it’s pretty clear, in all fairness.
