Debuting at #2 in the UK Albums Chart the album features the singles 'The Negative One' and 'The Devil and I'. Review: Fantastic album - Cant wait for Hell tour. - Listened to this straight through twice now on my PS3 (after battling with Windows 8 to rip the cd and loosing - shakes angry fist at laptop) and I am very happy with it. It is un mistakenly slipknot but this album is deeply layered. There is a tone to this album that I have not heard from them so far and it almost feels like this will be there last for some reason. Its more like a story, dare I say, all the songs seem to bleed into each other. I would recommend listening to it straight through instead of skipping through songs. There is lots more singing in this album, it is still very heavy but there is equal amounts of both. I don't think there is any song on here that I don't like. It is an album I will have to listen to a few more times to get used to fully. The lyrics are fairly dark as usual and I had a lot of OH? moments lol. I found and the music is fantastic as always switching from super stomper "get the hell out of my face" riffs to a more flow like singing parts, which I loved and found very memorable and catchy. I can see myself singing at the top of my lungs at the gig and that is a very good sign. Actually I am a little bit concerned I might go totally nuts too. The last slipknot gig I went to in Dublin was just so damn good I injured myself several times just going crazy jumping around the place screaming ect you know yourselves. It was the best gig I have ever been to - period. That was a long time ago haha, I may not be up for doing that these days. This is a next level for this band and im not surprised to be honest there has been so much cr*p going on for them. It was a very mournful album and had a very sad note to it. I got the impression that Corey's tone was of being fed up and sick to death of all the stupid sh*t going on. Yes they have go on about that before but this sounded a bit closer to home and not the usual "general public being head wrecking people = sh*t". He seems to be directing these words to a few individuals. I could be wrong but that's just how I take it so far. Plus there is an outstanding contribution song for Paul that is certainly one of my favourites its truly awesome. I will no doubt listen to this over and over before they come to Dublin (1st date of the tour) to open up the this albums "Prepare for Hell" Tour in January (Korn supporting too woohoo carnage) and will be interested in seeing which songs from this album they will choose to use. As I said before all the songs seemed to be stitched together and blend in a nice flow. Putting on random wouldn't be a problem but you can really appreciate the ups and downs of tone and melody from each song to the other. I love it and would recommend this album to all slipknot fans. I am not doing a very good job at explaining this album but it doesn't matter. Just buy the damn thing you wont regret it. It is different but certainly not a bad album. I enjoyed this much more then all hope is gone. I found it is a bit acquired though so give it a few goes so you can really get into it. Great work from the band - BRING ON JANUARY - BRING ON HELL. Review: Hold on to your hats, the Knot are back, and more violent, angry and vicious than ever. - Album of the year. Hands down. Blistering, jaw-shattering leviathan, taking in every last element of slipknot's career and putting out one of their strongest releases yet. XIX: 9/10 - creepy, haunting opener that just oozes with atmosphere Sarcastrophe: 10/10 - Looming out of the gloom of XIX, Sarcastrophe is a solid punch in the gut, incredible riffs, and a sneaky homage to Disasterpiece and Surfacing if you listen very closely AOV: 10/10 - Facemelter. Brutal mix of technical percussion, a seasick, grinding riff and a screaming hatred in corey's voice that takes you right back to the darkest days of IOWA. Contender for best song on the album. The Devil In I: 9/10 - Great single, similar to the likes of Gently with a crushing unconventional breakdown in the final part of the song. Killpop: 10/10 - Being hailed as the long lost brother of Vermillion, it has a very Vol. 3 melodic but dark vibe. Think The Nameless crossed with Vermillion. Second contender for best song on the album. Skeptic: 8/10 - Probably the worst song on the album, boy it's a weird one. Brilliant tribute to Paul Gray, but a very odd decision on the chorus. Still, fantastic lyrics that will make any fan well up a little. Lech: 10/10 - Final contender for the song of the album. If King 810, 1999 Slipknot and KoRn had a lovechild, it would sound something like this. Best percussion sound on the album. Goodbye: 9/10 - Another tribute to Paul, very strong song but the best is yet to come. Nomadic: 8/10 - Another weird one, like skeptic, it has an almost punkish vibe to the chorus which is jarring at first but really works as you listen to it. The One That Kills The Least: 10/10 - Lyrical perfection, another haunting tribute, reminiscent of the slower songs on iowa thrown into a blender with Three Nil. Custer: 10/10 - Surfacing 2014. That is all there is to say. Be Prepared For Hell: this song doesn't get a rating because it's just a little interlude, great for building atmosphere The Negative One: 10/10 - Out of nowhere, comes an odd bit of sampling from 133, before the best riff of the album blows your head off. Malevolent fury, and really sums up the album. Dark. Haunting. Angry. If Rain Is What You Want: 11/10. This song defies a plausible rating. The best song that has ever been written by this band. Go back to 1999, throw this song into the mix and you wouldn't notice. Incredible. Where songs like Purity had anger on their side, this song brings in an emotion seen very rarely on a slipknot album: Grief and sadness. This album is probably the best of the year, and undoubtedly their best since the Eponymous album. The Knot are back, All Hope Is Gone is dead, long live .5: The Gray Chapter. ## Images ![.5: The Gray Chapter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EMnz8wnKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic album - Cant wait for Hell tour. *by S***E on 10 November 2014* Listened to this straight through twice now on my PS3 (after battling with Windows 8 to rip the cd and loosing - shakes angry fist at laptop) and I am very happy with it.

Bizarrely, I sort of wanted it to be a failure, because after the release of All Hope is Gone (which I thought was their worst ever album), the death of Paul Gray and the sacking of Joey Jordison (which I was really annoyed about), I questioned whether or not Slipknot had passed their sell by date. So for me, this album was make or break, and I'm really pleased to say that I love Slipknot again. I've read a lot of reviews that say this album is like Iowa and Vol.3, but it has this amazing focus and maturity at the same time which surpasses both of the aforementioned albums. It really is a great listen and whilst I'm not going to do a track by track review, I have to highlight XIX, Sarcastrophe, Devil in I, Nomadic, The Negative One, Goodbye, Custer and Override (Bonus Disc) as the stand out tracks. That by no means infers that the rest are bad, because they certainly aren't, although 'Prepare for Hell' is a bit of a strange one given that it isn't really a song and yet next year's tour is named after it #confused. To summarise, this is a top class album that is intelligently composed and brutally delivered.
