Average Rating : 
Rating : - I'm disappointed in the immaturity of todays maggots. maybe theyve always been immature and its taken me this long to figure it out? idk...
after reading through reviews here amazon, it leaves me wondering. are they wrong or am i?
i think this album is amazing. theres really not a bad song on the album, except dead memories. i dont get why slipknot put a stonesour song on thier album.
let me break it down for you.
execute- the typical intro. builds a nice atmosphere for the album.
gematria- what can i say about this song that everyone else hasnt? most reviews ive read completely bash the album and say gematria and psychosocial are the best songs EVAR!! whatever.
sulfur- nice song. i like the double kick with the heavy guitars. the chorus is catchy and the guitar chug along nicely.
psychosocial- same as gematria. btw i hate listening to this song on the radio. the ultimate breakdown is cut out. it pisses me off so much.
dead memories- worst song on the cd. if i want to listen to stonesour, ill listen to stonesour. im trying to get my slipknot on. when i hear this on the radio i change the station. what a terrible single!!!!
vendetta- same as sulfur, i like the heavy guitars with the double kick. coreys voice sounds amazing in this song. and its cool to chant out 'are you ready for the time of your life'
butchers hook- weird time signatures in this song. very cool and unique song. this song appeals to me alot.
gehenna- what to say about this song....well its creepy. and coreys singing sends chills down my spine.
this cold black- ah, sounds like an iowa song on some parts. although if i had to choose, id say this is the 2nd worst song on the cd. that doesnt mean its a bad song though, its decent.
wherein lies continue- meaty riffs in this song. still not that good though. id say its tied with this cold black as the 2nd worst song on the cd. still a decent song though.
snuff- amazing song. reminds me of circle, but this is like 10x better.
all hope is gone- i think this is the heaviest song on the cd. it melts your face off. crazy as riffing, blast beats, double kicks and screaming in this song.
til' we die- boring song. and theres this annoying 'tone' during the chorus.
overall- pretty good album. dont bother with the special edition. just get the regular version.
i dont see how its possible to give this cd 1 or 2 stars. your not a true maggot if u did... Read more ... |  |
