26th Aniversary 1995 2021 Slipknot thank you for memories Signature shirt

just know that this is easily one of the Slipknot 26th Aniversary 1995 2021 thank you for memories Signature shirt most dynamic songs Slipknot has ever recorded and the second half easily makes up for some of the moments in the first that I don’t care for the record gets even weirder from here with the band embarking on some of the boldest experiments they ever have in the last leg we have the song spiders which feels like a weird combination of tool Marilyn Manson and a repeating blinky piano phrase that seems inspired by the theme to John Carpenter’s Halloween soundtrack maybe the cartoonishly ghoulish synths in the second half are a bit much and the chorus lyrics are trying a little bit too hard to sound spooky but for a song that’s so far outside of what Slipknot typically does. it’s pretty good and could have gone over a lot worse the song orphan kicks off with a pretty epic intro a lot of atmosphere pounding drums before this song even kicked offI was getting this feeling of. you know this this sounds kind of Slayer A little rain and blood sounds a little rain in blood ish and of course suddenly the band just busts into the most stereotypically thrash riff I’ve ever heard in my life a little heavier a little chunkier. yes the band also throws some pretty insane wailing guitar noise over various parts of the riff too but. yeah it pretty much sounds like Slayer. and I would actually like to say it’s one of the better tracks on the entire record but it’s it’s nearly ruined by these god-awful vocal harmonies on the chorus.

I am not the same you never had a clue knew my name they’re not very good at all and why do so many Slipknot songs boil down to the sentiment of. oh you don’t know me you know . know meI guess that’s just the way. it is sometimes it’s okay to feel that way the song might pain is another very low-key moment on the record with lots of subdued sparse sequence beats some Chinese synthesizers. – it sounds like something out of a child music box but with Corey of course throwing some very dark brooding lyrics and singing on top it’s a Slipknot 26th Aniversary 1995 2021 thank you for memories Signature shirt little patience testing at 7 minutes though I don’t know if the track needed to be this long with as little progression. as it has I think the track would have served much better as a shorter interlude and now that I’ve mentioned interludes I should mention my least favorite thing about this record the interludes truly and honestly they are not very good they are horrible at setting the tone for what’s to come and most of them just sound like noisy lo-fi droney baby’s first ambient pieces they ruin the flow of the album when they are devoted to an entire track. and then there are songs out here where Slipknot is killing off an entire thirty Seconds to a minute of time before or after a song with a flavorless drone with pointless noise. There’s padding the album or a track out needlessly and look it’s not. like I would say no to these moments if they were actually greatI would not say no to great ambient interludes.

But they’re not Slipknot Does save some of the weirdest ideas for last on this record especially on the closer solway firth which is named after an estuary which partially separates and and runs along the border between Scotland and England. yes I had to google that and there is a moment on this track for whatever reason quarry just breaks into an English accent he’s just screaming in an English accent. Is he engaging in a bit of role play hereI’m not sure it’s not like. the track has a super clear logical flowing storyline not to say that there isn’t a focus or a concept to this song there is but there’s nothing in the lyrics that would hint to me that I’m about to play a character or change my accent. he just does itI don’t I do it all day generally though it’s a pretty massive closer the guitars and drums maybe a bit stereotypical for Slipknot. but it is heavy as hellI also love the dissonant shots of noise throughout the track and also these couple of passages that sound like they’re submerged underwater. It’s a bit of ear candy all in Slipknot 26th Aniversary 1995 2021 thank you for memories Signature shirt  all though I think this album is a pretty solid effortSlipknot there are some experiments and weird ideas that don’t quite pan out a few tracks. they feel very run-of-the-mill for them but there are tons of highlights throughout this hour. Plus albumI think generally it would have fared a bit better if the interludes were of a higher quality. but I seriously have to commend the band on this one this came out much better than I thought it was going toI’m feeling a strong six to a lay seven on this one transition.
