New Music Review: SLIPKNOT ‘We Are Not Your Kind’

[usr 10.0 text=true]

REVIEW – MAGGOTS – Get ready to jump the fuck up but this time…..keep jumping!  We are not your kind is the much awaited Slipknot LP that will not disappoint.  If you are a long time fan or new to listening to Slipknot you will have each aggressive and head banging song on repeat.

Slipknot will take you from birth to death and from love to hate in this intense journey into insanity and speak directly to your soul.

Corey Taylor goes off!! Screaming, Rapping and his clean vocals add some creepy vibes that we have all come to expect and love from Slipknot there is even a choir at one point….what?   An emotional Metal Ride.  To say “We are not your kind” is the Metal LP of the year would be an understatement in my book.

Undoubtedly the release of this LP August 9th should do well! 

Released by Roadrunner Records and Produced by Greg Fidelman

Length 63:27 of head banging rage. 💀💕

Lyrically we are not your kind speaks directly to all the fucked up situations we have been through. 

Part of the song from “Solway Firth” goes…

While I was learning to live
You taught me how to die
I guess I got what I wanted
Another needle in the back through purified sanctification
It wasn’t somebody else
You fucking did it to
You want a real smile
I haven’t smiled in years

As I was listening to ‘We Are Not Your Kind’, besides trying to remember where my favorite Slipknot t-shirt disappeared to…it felt like a photo album flipping pages from verse to verse.  Reminding me of moments Slipknot’s music has helped me over and over through bullshit in my life.  If money was not an issue I would be traveling to their next US date so I could jump in the pit and bash out some aggression.

Every member of Slipknot has it together in perfect timing on this one.  I’m a huge Sid Wilson fan and I must add…bravo!
