Special Edition includes bonus tracks and a DVD featuring the making of All Hope Is Gone. After over 5 million albums sold in the US, Slipknot returns with their most powerful statement yet - All Hope Is Gone. Filled with the fury people have come to expect from Slipknot as well as some extraordinary surprises, this album is the culmination of the band' s 9 unique members, three platinum albums and their 10 year journey at the top of the Hard Rock genre. Kicked off by the powerful crescendo that is Execute and Gematria (The Killing Name) and ending with the blistering track All Hope Is Gone - the album is a cohesive statement about the world today and truly cements the band as one of Rock' s heavyweights. The lead single Psychosocial will propel the new album to match and exceed the success of the last album, Vol 3: Subliminal Verses which produced numerous Top 20 songs at Rock radio including a Top 5 track at Active and Modern Rock radio.

WAY Awesome Album - one of Slipknot's best!:
This album is NOT for the faint of heart! If you like the classic Slipknot album or comparison albums that are screamy and hard (for me) to understand, you might not necessarily like it. It is definately a statement of power, prowess, and passion. My favorite songs off of this album are Sulphur, Dead Memories, and, especially, Snuff.

I loved the yelling and fast paced vocals.... more info
Still kicking @ss:
It is great to see these guys still kicking some @ss in the metal world. I was going to give this album 4 starts but the song 'Psychosocial' (my fav song from them ever) pushes this one over the top.

I was a child of the 80s and loved Metallica, Megadeath, and even some "hair rock." I thought there was no good metal these days. After my friend pointed me to All Hope Is Gone, I realized I was wrong. First off all, these gentlemen have skills. They're tight. Great vocals, amazing percussion, quality guitar work. Secondly, they are immensely creative and different. Thirdly, they're perfectly heavy for me. Parts are extremely hard ("Psychosocial"), but not too hard to give you a headache. I need some... more info
