Where normal ceases to exist

On May 25th, Slipknot will hit the stores with a new album, and do what they do best. Infect the world with their music. I know that a lot of people were turned away with Iowa, and a lot more were brought into Slipknot's variation of music, that a lot of people would just call noise.

They were originators of sorts of a type of music, but with wearing masking, full bodied jump suits, and having numbers instead of names, even though names were mentioned anyway... They are a group with one view. Make their type of music and do it like only they can. I read on some sites them being poked fun at with having 9 members, but with how complex their music is, you need all nine members, or else one hell of a mixing board with a turntable, a couple of drums, and a keg connected to it, with a sampling board. Not to mention having the ability that Corey #8 to go from spoken voice, to singing to screaming his guts out.

So far, the Jagermeister tour has had some set back, with their home town banning them. They seemed having smooth sailing otherwise. They have some samples of their new CD on their site. Pulse of the Maggots is pretty simple to find just go in, click on their 'S' icon, and them look for the link for "Pulse of the Maggots". Then there is Welcome, and the video for Duality, in the main part where you have to move the mask to find the hidden section. "Welcome" is under Joey's(#1's) section, and under #2(Paul's mask) there is the video for Duality. Unfortunately, I have only be successfull able to get into #0(DJ Sid's) section.

But for what I hear from people's description of Slipknot's new music is that the band as a whole matured, it sounds like there is no cussing on Corey's part...except for live events probably. And James and Mick bring the guitar sounds to a new level, by being able to do more than play the same chords over and over and over again. I know that I am going to be getting the new album. In fact, I already have it reserved when it comes out in stores...well everywhere but walmart, kmart, shopko/pamida, anywhere that forced music to be edited to a family liking environment, and to them I say pop music for the most part sucks, and kiss my ass.

That is today's last call have fun, and don't forget to keep on rockin' on.
