| I have to admit that I really wasnt into this new album as much as i was with iowa,but when i saw slipknot perform at ozzfest earlier this year,I was really blown away by the live recreation of their new material.the point is you dont have to like slipknot's music,but you do have to respect their perseverence through the bullshit they've been through over the years. | |

| i think this song is a crowd pleaser i absolutly love it but i can't help but think it was written with the thought in mind just to make the countless masses bounce in unison like i said - i love it and it's a good song but i don't think there's a meaning beyond: "ROCK MOTHERFUCKEEEEEERRRRRRRS!!!" | |

| This song sounds just like "sic", just other lyrics. You can't see me, for I hide within the Umbra = You can't kill me, cause' I'm already inside you And lots of other riffs are just the same too. I don't really think this is one of their better songs.. | |

| This song is awesome. Really hard stuff coming from them. Anyone detect a little hint of Hatebreed in this song? Kind of reminds me of them, mainly during the chorus. Great song either way. But anyway, this album is totally a slap in the face to any of the critics or anyone who claims that Slipknot "sold out." Do any of these people actually know anything about the band. Take "Iowa" for example. Everyone said they were going to go radio friendly and soft on this album. They did the exact opposite. They went even heavier on this album. They knew they would lose some fans but they didn't care. Now take Vol. 3. One of the biggest areas of criticizm I've heard about Slipknot "There just a bunch of guys who hit things and scream fuck, that's all they can do." So now they bring Vol. 3. In which Corey says 'fuck' a grand total of about 1 time I believe. Anyone who says they can't play music either I would like to know. From what I've heard of this album it's totally amazing. The guitars sound great and so do the drums. You can hear everything all the little details. Even Chris and Shawn pounding on the kegs. Rick Rubin did a nice job on this album. No offense to Ross Robinson who did a nice job on the others and on Korn's first few cds. But all in all I think this is a great song off of a great album and Slipknot did anything but sell out. Can't wait to see the show for the new album. stay (sic) | |

| anyone saying this is "Nu-Metal" is wrong. in order for it to be nu-metal it has to be short and simple. it also has to eliminate all the cool elements such as guitar solo's and drum solo's... wow, niether of those are true of this album, guess your wrong. this album is over an hour long...not some sissy 35 minuite crap. Have a nice day :-) | |

| This song is amazing. I'm not entirely sure what it means, but the lyrics are interesting, to say the least. Judging from the opening, it seems to be about sticking together and standing up for each other, even when it's hopeless. | |

| Sandman-X you stupid shit. It isnt about how much radio play a band gets and to be a sellout one needs to abandon thier roots for money. I believe Slipknot conveys alot of rages and people now feel the same way so Slipknot gets popular. Slipknot has not changed just matured. They are still as hateful as ever more people just agree with them than ever before. So FUCK YOU. | |

| the new slipknot stuff that i heard is the shit... i;ve heard pulse of the maggots and duality and they are both good... and they do sound different from the first three albums but different is good.. who wants to listen to a band that sounds the same every album? not me. slipknot is heading in a good direction, i hope the rest of the album is as good as duality and pulse of the maggots | |

| song sucks - ad the great guitarist mick gets screwed once again, not by actually be given the ability to do a solo, but having to do a horrible solo for a lame song. if they lost half the band and corey stopped being a little bitch, then they would actually have some good recognition (not to mention music)and a good fanbase instead of the usual little "abl's" that you always see posting on this section. seriously, i know they can write good lyrics, but they continually dont. why? | |

| for Seraphim Belial, the reason they dont write good lyrics is because you dont see them as corey does. you guys only want to hear what you want to hear. my friends say slipknot is all screaming and it sucks. im used to people saying that. you know what i say? i say, WELL THEN, ILL PLAY YOU A METAL SONG, AND YOU CAN SING IT LIKE AMERICAN IDOL. see how it sounds?, oh, and put some opposite of slipknot lyrics in there. WOW, that sounds so perfect, huh? | |

| This song is a great comaback and an even better introduction for their new album... can't wait to hear it... Other than that I'd say this song is a good introduction song for a concert, the guitars and samples are amazing, Corey's voice is something new from them and it feels good... I'm a maggot... | |

| Corey's has taken a different and refreshing vocal approach to this track,which I think is really cool.I must admit the shred solo's were disappointing, but at least they have fucking solo's.Apart from that,this is a really cool track, so lets hope the new album is the fucking bombshell we have been waiting for. | |
