I went ahead and listened to the new album myself. I like it. COMPLETELY different Slipknot from the other albums.. cause they actually utilize a lot of their creativity and skill. Lots of acoustic guitar and lead guitar, much more technical than what they are use to doing. There is definately a lot of material that non-Slipknot fans will like... in a way.. you could say that some songs are what Stone Sour would sound like with the versatility of a nine-piece band.
My personal fav songs at the moment are Three Nil and Opium Of The People. But I think that has a lot to do with seeing a shitload of their heavy material live the last two days.
