If this was just a little vinyl single of Henry Rollins spoken word poems it would honestly be an underrated masterpiece. But the boring nature of the instrumentals take it down to about average.
It's honestly rather fascinating how this band went from Touch And Go royality to... this.
This song is nothing. It doesn’t add to the original, it doesn’t improve on it, it doesn’t even stay in memory. It’s just self important, melodramatic, and tiresome. Ronnie Radke needs to get a job.
A breath of fresh air in the hardcore genre. As opposed to wearing it's influence on it's sleeve, it rips it's heart out of it's chest and shows it's influence there. Black metal bliss, intertwined with the sickest hardcore riffage you'll ever hear.
Possibly the greatest Beatles compilation of all time (1 non withstanding)
I completely understand if someone would listen to this and write it off as edge-lord garbage. But I believe this record is a fascinating look into the psyche of a weird, artsy guy with lots of baggage and trauma. Songs will start as normal enough folk tracks and end with howling, guitars being beaten to the point of notes reverberating, and repetition to the point of nausea.
I do not respect Charles Manson as a person, I do not agree with his ideals, and I feel his legacy is overwrought and ... read more
I feel absolutely nothing towards this song, but giving it anything over a 3 feels like a crime.
I understand the people who absolutely detest this song. I found it charming enough , but there are lots of lines that are insensitive.
Your enjoyment of this song is entirely dependent on how much annoying you’re willing to stomach.
Jesus Christ, the flow are incredible. Up there with Outkast as pop rap royalty in my book.
Sorry Sarah is fascinating. When people, especially people who come from religious households, have to deal with concepts as serious as death, it can often lead to depressive episodes, self reflection, and (in the absolute most unfortunate instances,) permanent psyche damage.
To find a song that perfectly encapsulates that feeling is truly special. Even down to the mediocre lyrics, the shitty screaming, and the midi drumming. It is not an experience that everyone has had. But I find this song ... read more
This is about as “Pitchfork Best New Music” as an album can get. Sad, weird (but not too weird) indie that’s equal parts catchy and understated. Not something I’ll listen to often, but this certainly does scratch the modern indie itch.
I can’t speak on the controversy surrounding this EP, as I’m not up to date on Slipknot “lore”. I can say that this is one of their most laughable efforts.
This album is a torrid mix between the post grunge adjacent Stone Sour and the Scooby Doo, BDSM rock of Ghost. However, while Ghost’s music integrates religious imagery, themes, and aesthetic in a smooth and compelling way, this project sounds like Corey Taylor using this aesthetic in the same way an atheistic ... read more
An underrated metal classic. Cutting, catchy, and borderline anthemic. The idea of making a concept album about suicide sounds almost beyond parody, but this album goes into that concept with no irony and comes out triumphant.
This is what old white people think Haunted Mound sounds like. Loud, grating, and borderline unlistenable. Turnabout has no flow whatsoever.
Like if the main character from Freddy Got Fingered made a punk album. Purely ridiculous, catchy, and goofy. A diamond in the rough.
