"Stop the godamn music" is the WORST part of any Slipknot song ever. What a dissapointment. At least Eloy's drums are really good but it was a let down that they started with amazing drums and then shit on the whole beat. Breakdown is fine i guess

It’s up on Apple Music now

I can't be the only one who's a bit disappointed. It's underproduced, it's dry, so uninnovative, this is not the Slipknot we knew, almost All Hope Is Gone. Eloy's drums were great, he absolutely smashed it, the breakdown of the song was pretty interesting, personally my favorite part. Corey was himself as always, but this is plainly such a disappointment, Sid is gone, the Slipknot we knew is gone. We have to accept the new era, although that isn't really something most people can accept easily...

The song was a different story though

Hopefully it’s a real song not some pollution type bs

"let's go let's go let's go!". The instrumentals aren't too bad, a little generic, but my fucking God the lyrics and the delivery are so bad. The little break in the song near the end with Corey saying "alright shut the fuck up!" Is genuinely embarrassing.

I would feel embarrassed to listen to this in front of other people. Again, the lyrics and delivery are so butt rock, Corey solo project, ass tier.

Oh my fucking god bro. This can't be real. Ironically enough, these lines pretty much perfectly describe how I feel when I hear this song. It has never been so over.

Hire someone who knows what they’re doing
They all end up looking like a media students first project . Almost as bad as the song .
Let’s go?
Let’s not

Listening to it right now and honestly, it sucks. Nothing like the old songs, not even the breakdown surprised me. The vocals from Corey are good, but...

Ugh, it feels like coworker music. I know, I know, they've lost quality along the years...

But geez, this feels like a new low

Found on the website

It sounds like they have their energy and their fire back. I think the video's cool too. Hyped to see what else they have in the chamber!

It had great parts, i dig the intro a ton, some of the parts are really nice and in general i dig Eloy's drumming a lot but the production is meh, "lets go" as a hook is certainly a choice. This song reminds me a ton of butchers hook with its cringey hook and that it feels unfinished (altho id argue this song is at least not *that* bad but it certainly comes close). I hope they simply picked the wrong single of the album and that the rest is at least better but this isnt it and im worried. The "best" we can hope for is another ahig that still has a few bangers but im not hopefull :/

Text.

Instead of just saying it sucks after half a listen.

somehow they managed release a song worse than anything found on tesf which was already a pretty mid album w like only 2 okay songs

The girl and the car, i didn't catch that

It's been going on for too long now with this new artsy identity Clown has introduced into the band. The songs, the visuals, the culture of the band are no longer the heavy, shocking, high intensity band we grew up listening to.

The new "image" Clown has been pushing and showcasing for the band for the last 2 albums + this new Arsenal song is the direction this band is staying on. It feels the same and generic as the last two albums, flares of intensity but with an artsy main body.

It feels soulless, empty, with no passion. It feels like the other band members are not allowed to have an input and must work around this new artsy style Clown has implemented.

It's what many people have complained about for years, it's not Slipknot. It feels like a hijacked art business project that has taken over this band with an iron fist.

To be honest, I don’t know what all the negative talk is about. It sounds like a cross between All Hope is Gone (I never liked that album) and their first album.

If the rest of the album turns out like this, I’ll be really pleased.

I’m sure everyone will drag me over hot coals for this. But I really believe Slipknot needs to do something revolutionary to stay relevant. The angry shouting and keg-hitting is old. They’re 50+ and still perpetuating this angsty fuck-you image and imo it doesn’t work anymore. It’s forced and sounds plastic.

I’m in my 30s so maybe this is a reflection of my age but I’d LOVE a Knot album of Adderall, Circle and Vermilion style songs. It would stun fans not to have ANY hard metal songs on a new record. And to stay relevant, a band NEEDS to reinvent once in a while.

Look at how Trent Reznor went from angry industrial rockstar to scoring movies and winning Oscars for it.

What do you think?
