All Hope Is Gone

Arrived in good condition

Great CD, ive allways been a fan of Slipknot. Not the biggest fan of Gehenna but still good

Lovely

This album is brilliant, one of Slipknots best, I’ve been listening to this for years now and just never get bored of it

Any album that divides opinion, alienates, opens doors, creates hate, tears, annoyance, but most importantly reaction of such extremes is to be, firstly, applauded. And this, dear readers, is one classic example. The angst ridden earlier works of Slipknot went deep into the psyche of those who loved them. Here was a band that whilst comical to the unfamiliar thanks to the masks, went deep, very deep into the hearts and minds who took the time to embrace what they represented. They meant something to people, they expressed their feelings and depths of dispair about the world that crushed them down. Almost punk, a bit hard core perhaps. The spirit of Black Flag, for example ran deep.. SO, All Hope is Gone comes along, a work of dexterity, depth, variety and ... well almost commercial acceptability. And why the hell not? De we really want the same old groove all the time, or do we want an artist, or group of, to open up their hearts, veins, minds a bit further, to mature, to find others to join the clan? I do and this is right on the money for me. There are great songs here, real, true life songs that will keep Slipknot in the hearts of most fans and will bring in new ones and that is progress. More of this please, the scene is moving on, the Mastodons of this world have upped the ante, can Slipknot follow...? You bet.

After finding the original CD case empty, thought I'd buy a new copy. Typical though as I've found the original now, 2 copies are better than one right ! Amazing album.

This is Slipknots 4th album and as far as i,m concerned there best. On this album its not just noise for loud sake its structured and thought about. I think its the band growing up and maturing.I,m a mature MetalHead into Motorhead etc so it appeals to me and i think it is meant to appeal to all Metalheads not just there young fanbase.Again less than £2 from Zoverstocks and this is the cd/dvd version and the dvd is a making of the album where you see the band no masks, no gimmicks just 30 year old men making a metal album even if it is done a bit strange with often going about in paper mache heads?.

Great

This is a review for the special edition cd/dvd with 3 bonus songs. The album itself is a mixed bag of melody and rage,buzzsaw guitars and lots of heavy drumming & precussion. The samples and turntables are toned down a bit on this album,Corey's voice is on point. Mixing some of the oldschool hardcore aggressive vocals and then the more melodic songs and vocals. The heaviest tracks being(in my opinion) Gematria:The Killing Name,Vendetta,Butcher's Hook,This Cold Black,Wherein Lies Continue & All Hope is Gone. The more melodic more tame songs are the singles,Sulfer,Dead Memories,Psychosocial and Gehenna is a mix of both heavy and melodic just like Snuff(the most mellow of songs but hauntingly beautiful. Excellent guitar work,the bass is laid on thick and heavy,excellent drums and precussions. Now to the bonus songs, Child of Burning Time is a mellow track kinda reminiscent of Stonesour. Vermilion Pt.2(Bloodstone Mix) that i actually enjoyed & i'm not a huge fan remix but this one i enjoyed. Til' We Die is my favorite of the 3 bonus songs it is mellow but excellent guitars and vocals. Now to the dvd portion,the dvd isn't really that special but it was nothing major. You don't get to hear anything from the band giving their opinion of the album or talking to the camera. I would have expected a bit more,like some interview footage. They blurred out Craig Jones face(#5) but you can still see it. You get too see them push a car and light fireworks. Then they show Sid(#0) with his mask mold and then you see Corey(#8) in the vocal booth. About 1-2 minutes of each member messing with their gear and laying down notes. Then you see them wkimg with the big heads from the Psychosocial video and it is only 32 minutes long. Nothing special but the special edition i got for the extra songs. If you don't already have th album i'd suggest you get this(it was cheaper than the original) go get this album you'll enjoy it.

Pour moi c'est leur meilleur album à ce jour (2017). Pourquoi ? Parce qu'il regroupe à peu près tout ce qu'ils savent faire, et aussi parce qu'il est de loin le plus homogène. Car si Slipknot a d'excellents morceaux sur chacun de ses albums, il y a aussi beaucoup de morceaux assez moyens (pour ne pas dire médiocres) et vite oubliés, et c'est ce qui me gène généralement avec ce groupe tellement talentueux mais souvent très irrégulier. C'est aussi pour ça que leur best-of (Antennas to Hell) est plutôt le CD que je recommanderais à ceux qui veulent découvrir Slipknot sans se taper toute la discographie, car ils regroupent tous leurs morceaux phares... sauf un, et non des moindres, et qui est pour moi la perle de cet album et probablement leur titre le plus réussi : "Gematria". 6 minutes de pure rage et de virtuosité, Slipknot au sommet de son art. Si vous voulez savoir ce qu'est Slipknot, alors écouter ce morceau en priorité (le prélude ".execute" met parfaitement dans l'ambiance). Ce titre à lui seul justifie l'achat de l'album, mais heureusement, il n'y a pas que lui, car le reste est également de top niveau, notamment les plus connus "Sulfur" et "Psychosocial" avec leurs mélodies entêtantes, sans oublier "Dead Memories", plus mainstream dirons certains mais c'est aussi une des facettes (récentes) du groupe. Peut-être que Corey Taylor est allé un peu trop loin dans l'influence Stone-Sour (son autre groupe) de Slipknot avec la power ballad "Snuff", mais là encore rien d'alarmant car le titre est réussi et tous les groupes de Métal s'y sont mis un jour ou l'autre. Les morceaux "Vendetta", "Butcher's Hook", "Gehema", "This Cold Black" et "Wherein Lies Continue" ont tous leur style et intérêt propre, trouvant grâce aux yeux des fans, peut-être un peu moins au yeux des profanes, mais ils méritent qu'on s'y attarde car ils sont plus consistants et réussis que bon nombre des titres qui "remplissent" les autres albums de Slipknot. Le final "All Hope is Gone", sorte de mélange Nu-Métal très puissant, achève admirablement ce CD et finit de me convaincre que cet album est bien un excellent opus que tout fan de Metal doit avoir en magasin dans sa collection pour l'écouter, et le réécouter à foison.

Llegó con mucha antelación y bien empaquetado.

hell yea

Ein fantastisches Thrash Metal Album, das mich trotz seines moderneren Stils total an Metallicas "And Justice For All" erinnert. Sind 20 Jahre dazwischen, aber "All Hope Is Gone" hat dieselbe Klasse und den gleichen Wahnsinns-Hörfaktor! Eines der besten Metal-Alben aller Zeiten!!
