Revisiting .5: The Gray Chapter by Slipknot

08/08/2019 Chris Nee

It’s never been an easy ride for Slipknot. In 2019 their album build-up was scarred by unspeakable tragedy and the band’s internal combustibility. The effects of that might someday make it into the music. It wouldn’t be the first time.

Revisiting All Hope Is Gone by Slipknot

07/08/2019 Dave Musson

Most bands, no matter who they are, end up putting out a record somewhere along the line that doesn’t quite hit the mark. When it comes to Slipknot, that record is All Hope Is Gone.

Revisiting Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) by Slipknot

06/08/2019 Chris Nee

Slipknot albums typically enjoy the same review cycle. Some reviewers aren’t keen but they average out at seven or eight out of ten before eventually finding their rightful place in the band’s pantheon.

Revisiting Iowa by Slipknot

05/08/2019 Dave Musson

Slipknot’s second major label release, which turns 18 in a few weeks, is like nothing else the band has released its whole career. It wasn’t back in 2001 and it still isn’t now.

Revisiting Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. by Slipknot

03/08/2019 Dave Musson

The band themselves only see it as a demo. Some of the songs re-appeared in a more refined form on later albums. Only half the Slipknot line-up we know and love actually played on it.

Revisiting Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? by Megadeth

13/04/201913/04/2019 Chris Nee

The early days of Megadeth, the road from Dave Mustaine’s departure from Metallica to his new band’s critical acclaim in the mid-1980s, are well established in thrash metal lore.

Revisiting Forever by Code Orange

11/02/201911/02/2019 Dave Musson

Normally, we leave it a bit longer than two years to revisit an album. But the subject of this write-up is no ordinary record, so we don’t feel bound by our own rules.

Revisiting Fire by Electric Six

25/01/201925/01/2019 Chris Nee

What do sarcasm, disco, limitless sexual innuendo and an obsession with nuclear war have in common? Why, it’s the debut album by Electric Six, of course!

Revisiting Permission To Land by The Darkness

24/01/201924/01/2019 Dave Musson

I can pinpoint the moment I fell in love with Permission To Land, which, weirdly, came before it was released or before I would actually get to hear the whole thing.

Revisiting Purple by Baroness

23/01/201923/01/2019 Chris Nee

The fifth album is on the way in 2019. Somewhere between the third and the fourth I visited my uncle’s house and clacked my way through his CD collection and discovered, belatedly, Baroness.
