The new album is out. Anybody else listen to it?

Their new single "Psychosocial" has a pretty cool video.

Sid's mask looks like it came from Power Rangers. :laugh:

Anyway, I haven't yet listened to it and I've never been much of a fan. I am however going to
see them at a concert in a few months. They're playing with Children of Bodom and I'm interested
in how they sound these days. I'm probably going to listen to it soon.

I think the video is pretty cliche and even the song, very cliche nu metal guitar riff.

Post by: Farren on August 24, 2008, 03:37:29 pm: I hate their beady eyed albino of a singer though, they do have a little bit of talent but they threw it all away pandering to dipshit high schoolers. Not to mention the mother fucker did it twice with stone sour which is twice as bad...

the masks are gay too, I understand the whole mystique appeal and stuff and its even a really interesting idea but they just ruined it.

Post by: ATARI on August 24, 2008, 04:47:08 pm: Yeah I think the real unfortunate thing about the band is that despite having some rather talented members, they still end up sounding like this.

Post by: Herr Artischocke on August 24, 2008, 06:11:27 pm: Aren't they each like in their mid-thirties? And they're still wearing those ridiculous masks and costumes? Grow up already, sheesh.

Post by: Vale on August 24, 2008, 07:10:23 pm: I don't want to sound like an obvious non-comformist or anything, but Psychosocial really sounds like "corporate metal". It's all emo sounding and such (seriously what is with the chorus?); probably a step backwards from Slipknot's previous stuff (if that was possible).

Post by: Farren on August 24, 2008, 07:33:50 pm: if you can see that circle on the coverart its supposed to be a compass I think

45=NE

315=NW

225=SW

And I think that star means peace and unity or some shit, kind of ironic for a NU METAL band to use that

but their music is pretty meh
