The long wait is finally over as Slipknot’s All Hope Is Gone was released today on Roadrunner Records. I’ve been eagerly waiting for this day to come since seeing their killer performance at this summer’s Mayhem Festival.

Anticipating the release of something like this usually ends in disappointment, especially when that something is an album. But not here. Corey Taylor, Joey Jordison, and the rest of the hard rockers have put everything they’ve got into this record…and it pays off big time. Corey seemelessly transitions from unrelenting screams to beautiful harmony while Joey’s drumming insanity keeps all tracks moving at a break neck pace.

If you buy one album today, make sure it is this one.
