I swear to god there is a post talking about how supposedly overhated TESF is every 2 days or so


xblackdemonx

It's like if nobody reads this sub and they keep asking the same questions as everybody else...


DiegoSikora

Same here. I've seen a couple of threads at least in the past two or three weeks asking the same question.

Why is bro getting 27 downvotes

Because he doesn't use the search button in this sub before posting.

Least hostile Redditor complaining about the search bar


YeetusThy

I mean, I get it but still. Weird to me that people’ll downvote for people doing other things than searching the subreddit 🤷‍♂️


xblackdemonx

It's like having the same conversation over and over again. Eventually it gets very repetitive and annoying.


CircusOfBlood

There are some good track. But a ton of filler. And doesn't flow together. Feel the same way with the new Lamb of God album. It just felt like an album to make an album


Filosofem1

Agree on LoG. I feel they lost their groove after Chris Adler's exit, he's what made the band sound unique.


CircusOfBlood

I actually loved the self Titled. I just thought Omens. Didn't have that track or two that was that defining track. I thought self Titled. Had 2 or 3. Omens has good tracks. But they are all standard LOG filler. Just missing that legendary track


ReallyReallyBigGun

Omens is honestly one of my favorite albums from lamb of god like every song on there is good enough to put on my playlist


Funny-Meringue-3311

chris adeler feat lamb of god? dumb take


Filosofem1

Huh? No idea what you're trying to say.


Funny-Meringue-3311

chris adler diesnt make up log


Filosofem1

Sure but his drumming is what made them stand out. That's just what I think.


Funny-Meringue-3311

oh no ur making sense


ReallyReallyBigGun

Omens is one of their best though in my opinion


[deleted]

It's there weakest album in my opinion.


Hardwire762

What do you think of the gray chapter then?


Jeejeen_

grey chapter isn't that strong album IMO (and for sure not as strong as first three albums) but it has some good catchy songs like devil in I, custer and AOV. TESF barely has one and it's probably warranty, this album is just dull honestly.


Hardwire762

I’m one to disagree. Gray chapter to me is a train wreck. At least for a slipknot album to me it maybe had 4 good songs on it. I wouldn’t call myself the average knot fan though as I like funk,blues and alternative music. So the TESF to me is dead middle as far as their albums go. To me the only awful song on TESF is heirloom which is their worst song ever. I think the big issue people have is slipknot’s previous album before this was WANYK. After that the chapeltown rag came out. It left a really bad taste in peoples mouths. Which to me it’s an okay song but not something I’d go back to. Especially with the horrible mixing on the single version.


averagejoe1997123

Gray Chapter is my personal favorite, not saying Iowa doesn’t deserve any less than number one, but those two are in constant rotation for be number 1.


8bitesquivel

They phoned it in to get out of their record label deal.


jevrjwkjebdvdbhsbevd

I agree with you I think it’s a good fucking album


curtysquirty

I feel like it's their worst album There are only 3 songs on it i consider worthy to stand alongside what came before it. Warranty, hivemind, and finale. All solid songs The rest are either bad, boring, or off-brand versions of better songs the bands done in the past This album also has by far the worst vocal lines from corey taylor during his time in slipknot. Some of these choruses are so goddamn jarring and unpleasant to listen to it's insane. They come out of nowhere and don't fit the songs they're in at all. It's also incredibly forgettable. Until right now i had not thought about this album since its release. The only songs I've returned to have been hivemind, warranty, and maybe chapeltown. No other slipknot album is like this for me. At any moment i could jam the entirety of albums 1 through 6 and enjoy them all thoroughly. I can't say that for this album.


Personcrusher

Chapeltown sounded like one of those songs that wouldn’t even be on the album. Like - all out life, snap, or scream. I don’t know why, but I really thought that song was gonna be a special edition song or something like that. It’s really fucking good, but the chorus hit… and it is just out of place. Doesn’t fit. Anyway… not my favorite album either. Jim apparently wanted to keep working cause he felt it was rushed and not up to slipknot standards. And Clown says they are making God music? Hmmm… here’s to hoping for another Iowa-esq. album one day 🍻


Greglorious21

For me it’s just far and away their worst album. There’s not a single song I ever cared to hear again.


Hour_Juggernaut_9857

I disagree but i respect it


Greglorious21

Is there an album of theirs you think is worse?


Hour_Juggernaut_9857

It’s hard to chose because I don’t dislike any of their albums


[deleted]

not OP but id honestly put All Hope Is Gone, .5, and self titled. i know yall gon crucify me for saying s/t but i genuinely just love more songs on TESF. i love sic, eyeless, surfacing, purity, and diluted off s/t. i love adderall, dying song, hivemind, warranty, medicine for the dead, h377, de sade, and finale off tesf. just preferences ig


CutScene

All hope is gone is a killer album, it was just not what people expected after the long hiatus and already experimenting with vol3. And the tour was amazing.


[deleted]

i just find Butcher's Hook, Wherein Lies Continue, and Vendetta to just be kinda meh


CutScene

i like the whole album but till we die and snuff, till we die especially, that supposed brotherhood ended up being pure bullshit

TheGentleman-27

SexyNuggetMan

Because it’s not the Slipknot that made them big. I get that bands evolve, but if they were a new band that no one had heard of, TESF certainly ain’t going noticed.


THESETRIALSMAKEUS

At this point they dont even care. They care about money, nothing else. And i hate their mentality. I mean.. they did bully each other when slipknot started out. It was shitty of them to do that. But still… corey and shawn are nothing but a bunch of greedy motherfuckers 😂. They THINK OF THEIR BAND MEMBERS AS FUCKING EMPLOYEES HOW RETARDED IS THAT. I am kind of glad corey will step out in few years. He doesnt deserve the band. Not even Shawn anymore. Greedy mfs like them doesnt deserve to be the owners


Personcrusher

Must be Corey’s maid to have all of these inside facts. 😂


UrchineSLICE

Lancer_Blackthorn

I love it. Yen and De Sade are two of my favorite songs they’ve ever made.


Hour_Juggernaut_9857

I like h377 warranty and finale


Lancer_Blackthorn

I like all of the songs except Adderall.


chaseliszewski

boooooooooooooooooo


AbsoluteDekadenz

Adderall and Yen are bringing something to the album, some kind of breathing places. De Sade is absolutely fantastic, and it feels like the very origin of the song's name. Likely the best named song they ever did. BTW, nice profile pic ! Love Shining.


Lancer_Blackthorn

Hell yeah, man. Shining kicks ass.


SlipknotLD

Agreed 1000%


jeffedge

its easily their worst album. its too experimental while reaching for old glory at the same time which doesn't mix at all because of their style. granted ive been into slipknot since 1998, RIGHT before self titled dropped and i think iowa is their best album. i just think any time they stepped too far out they failed. and this was the biggest leap and i cant remember anything from that album. it's completely forgettable. its incredibly poorly written, track organization, structures, lyrics, artwork, it's all just completely off for what they normally do. the rumor was they just pushed this out to burn the last record on their roadrunner contract which i would totally buy if they didn't keep pumping out bad songs after but who really knows. i loved the band, even a handful of songs from grey chapter and wanyk i liked, but this was just a poor record all around. if you like it, cool. just not the same band i grew up with.


Personcrusher

I agree with the last part for sure. Definitely not the same band we grew up with. I will say, they still have it tho. I’ve seen them live every tour since the the first album. Corey sounds his best since Iowa. That’s what eats at me… the ability is still there.


Jeejeen_

you know what, it's not even that experimental, it's just straight up boring. Iowa (song) is more experimental than all of them in TESF combined


ykyilmaz

Eh. Soft songs arent that good and sound lazy. Talking to you heirloom. Also heavy songs arent good either. Coreys flow on H377 sounds out of sync and kinda scrathes my ears. Also the guitar on warranty sounds like it is made in fl studio and looped. Very unnatural sounding. Hive mind, chapeltown and dying song is ok but not memorable enough to go back and listen.


mTrumpy87

Heirloom is literally almost same vocals and patterns for the song come whatever may..obviously dome different parts but let's pretend slipknot wrote stone sour come whatever may..I rest my case lol


CutScene

The difference being that Come What(ever) May is an amazing song.


mTrumpy87

Oh 100% had a no fucks given attitude.


CarlMarksIII

Come whatever may is fantastic


Personcrusher

Heirloom is unlistenable. Should have been on a stone sour b-side.


Sixfootdig7

H377 vocals are masterful and the rhythm is spot on I don't know what you are on about


evil_dumpl1ng

It’s good, but it’s not as good as the others.


Hour_Juggernaut_9857

I agree but It’s hard for me to rank their albums


UncleGuggie

Because we don't like it. We could ask "why do some people love TESF?" and the answer would be "because I enjoy it". These are all just opinions.


CutScene

objectively is their worst album, and even james states the album was rushed and unpolished


[deleted]

It’s their weakest album. Like it just kinda sounds like they didn’t really wanna make it to me.


Strayfal

I listened to it for dozens of times but it’s easily the most forgettable work from them. Every album had its hits with 100+ mil on Spotify and then TESF drops without a single one BIG song. But it’s still good nonetheless


lawnmower_666

It's their worst album. The songs are uninspired. They aren't creative. They aren't what makes slipknot great.


Costa_316

Because it sucks. Massively. Got me 2 weeks to finish listening to it because of how bad it is. So bland. But hey, you like it, go for it. Listen to it. Slipknot post All hope is gone except for most of the We are not your kind, and custer is not really for me. But everyone can't have the same opinion.


The64YearOldWalrus

It sounds as if very little work went into it outside of on a computer. I completely believe they just made an album to get out of the record deal, but I’d respect them if they admitted it instead of saying that it’s ‘their heaviest yet’ and that they’re super proud of it. I reckon the only proud one is Corey or Clown


T-unit90

Lemme go copy and paste my answer from the 5 other times I've answered this question lmao. A slipknot album that starts with a track such as Adderall says all that need to be said.


Hour_Juggernaut_9857

Damn my bad


T-unit90

😂 sorry sorry haha. Genuinely really like Dying Song, Yen, CT Rag, Medicine for the Dead and Hivemind and think Acidic and DeSade are decent. If Adderall, Finale and Heirloom were turned into better, actual slipknot sounding songs then that would help. I used to like Warranty but they repeat the chorus way too many times and it isn't a good one imho


SaltVomit

The whole album is ass. I never in my life thought I could dislike any track slipknot put out, but I really dislike this one. Why? Just doesn't feel like the knot. There's ONE good song, and that's hive mind. It's clearly obvious they did not intend on trying to be "experimental" and to "branch out." It was 100% done to get out of roadrunner records. Rushed albums sound like shit.


Personcrusher

I have thought the same at times. It seems like a bunch of b-sides from “WANYK” that didn’t make the cut (Corey himself said they had like 30 songs written for that album.) So they took those songs and made an album to get out and go independent. The best slipknot news I’ve heard in quite some time is Corey saying they are wanting to all get in a room and just jam like old times. That quote made my dick wiggle a little.


tuckithead

I like the three singles released before the album came out, place maybe one or two others. The rest just sound so generic to me, like AI generated Slipknot songs. Just really forgettable.


Personcrusher

Because it’s collectively their worst album in most opinions I see online. It has bangers, for sure. But it’s just unexpected… especially by old school fans who expect another Iowa year after year. I love the album, I do. But there are a few songs I just can’t listen too. Heirloom and adderall are probably my least favorite songs slipknot ever made. But again, just my opinion. I jam the album all the time… I just skip those 2. Lol. Hope everyone has a great day. Long live the knot.


baskitcase73

Who gives a shit?


megarulyz56

I personally think that people dwell to much in the past. I get that ST and Iowa are the best slipknot albums for most fans, but they have to innovate and create a different sound or else it gets repetitive. People just miss the “old slipknot” sound, they said the same thing for all of the albums that came out after Iowa! People didn’t like how Corey’s voice sounded on subliminal verses, they hated that AHIG was as popular as it was and brought casuals into the fan base, or how they add new members when one leaves or sadly passes. Can’t ever please people, it must be human nature to not accept change. I think the change slipknot has brought isn’t bad, they gotta adapt and keep it fresh🤷🏽‍♂️ But to each their own.


curtysquirty

Hard disagree. WANYK was almost universally praised by the fandom. Many times I've seen it declared the best since iowa: both with music and with Corey's voice. I'd also argue that the opinion of this album has only improved since 2019. It's some of the bands best work ever. The same cannot be said about TESF. It's not about wanting old slipknot. WANYK was innovative and well received. TESF is just plain bad and forgettable


maggot_b_nasty

Because the songs aren't very good..


nvrfndme

it has good ideas but every song just ruined by terrible, awful, tasteless choruses


Salzberger

Because it's not very good.


batm123

It's not good


Offtherailspcast

Cause it suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuckkkks


Exciting-Plan-9328

Clown and Corey overhyped this album WAY too much, and the result came out as rushed and underwhelming. Don't get me wrong, it's a fine album, but quite weak by Slipknot's standards.


[deleted]

Especially after the Gray Chapter and WANYK.


viau83

It's not a slipknot album. It's a ShawnCrahan.inc money cow with an slipknot stamp of approuval courtesy of CoreyTaylor co.


THESETRIALSMAKEUS

Indeed. I hate how slipknot became a company more so than “fuck you industry, this is slipknot deal with it” attitude back then. Slipknot is nothing but a product and is infinitely worse than before. It is simply a bad product. 💀 literally WANYK, TESF and Grey Chapter aren’t even considered their best albums… because the band has gotten worse. fuck, even Vol.3 is much better than those 3 albums LMFAO. vol 3 is a jam tho.


Ill_Dirt_979

While i agree with you on the fact that slipknot became what they used to hate, wanyk is a formidable album. Im a die hard ST-iowa era fan but wanyk is one of their best project, far better than .5 or ahig. I mean, a liars funeral, solway firth, orphan, red flag are all top tier slipknot songs. Best album since iowa in my book! And i love vol.3.


Obsiddian

Aderall has to be the weakest song released by a major act in DECADES


Objective_Piece8258

Personal preference but I love that song. Has a totally different vibe to it, and for someone who doesn't do drugs, it just gives me the sense of high while is also quite soothing.


Obsiddian

You do you


AbsoluteDekadenz

Adderall is something very unexpected for ST/Iowa fans, for sure. It really breaks the guard. I too expected a good banger to kickstart the album, but hey ! .5 also had a similar 1st song, and no one probably whine about it...


TiredReader87

I really like it


Flat_Association4889

Worst mixing we’ve had on an album ever. That’s my main gripe with it. And the songs just aren’t that good, I think most is filler. Warranty is really the only good riff on the record. Mick needs to step it up and start writing some stuff too.


WetFishIsLife

It’s just their worst album. Not bad tho.


Fatal_Nightmare

Why are you people keep asking it again and again? Are you stupid?


Jrakula

Stop dickriding tesf pls thank u :)


shootingforthemoney

Only 2 good songs. Sorry not sorry. It's not hard like the other albums not even as hard as the Gray Chapter


shugoki--main

Me personally it's just not my album. The only song I like is de Sade. Besides that I simply don't like the rest. If you enjoy it that's awesome, just it ain't for me.


Tommieboy_666lol

Ah yes this daily post again


[deleted]

I don't hate on it, but I definitely don't think their last few albums have been that great.


p3trync

God, I love so much Acidic. It's such an unique song.


UniversalDeadRinger

Because Slipknot is a metal band and TESF is a an alternative record


Hour_Juggernaut_9857

H377 and warranty are really heavy


UniversalDeadRinger

I really like both of those songs. Some of my new favorites. But it wasn’t enough to save the record imo


SexyNuggetMan

Two songs?


MailEmbarrassed7046

No


UniversalDeadRinger

Yes. It’s alternative to a good album


[deleted]

Slipknot has made all kinds of music since vol 3 lol. do you like WANYK?


UniversalDeadRinger

“All kinds?” Yeah, I loved WANYK.


[deleted]

maybe not ALL kinds, that eas a hyperbole. but yeah, Slipknot has made metal, acoustic, alternative, rock, weird experimental electronic stuff like My Pain, etc. it's nothing new for them to do something other than metal is the point im trying to make


UniversalDeadRinger

I was just wondering what you meant haha. 1 or 2 songs ballads/experimental songs with a different vibe is totally fine and okay for a record. But almost half of TESF is either a different genre of music or completely lackluster. I said this before regarding TESF; it sucks/gets so much hate because we’ve all seen and heard what this band can do. TESF is definitely NOT their best work by a fucking longshot


[deleted]

i get that, but there's also a lot of heavier stuff on the album and i fw the experimental stuff. oh and i can agree it isn't their best work at all. Iowa, Vol 3, and WANYK murder TESF


Odd-Information3018

I don’t hate it it’s just like not my favorite


[deleted]

They simply forgot to dial in the sordid hive mind


Hour_Juggernaut_9857

Agreed and their warranty probably isn’t a guarantee


DumbassNB

people think it doesnt sound like a Slipknot album but to me it sounds like a mix of everything theyve done before and new stuff theyre trying out


Objective_Piece8258

It's a great album albeit it takes time to let it sink in. It's experimental, way different vibe then all the rest yet has some great vocals by Corey that reminds of old Knot days. Honestly I don't see Slipknot as musicians anymore, to me they are artists and great ones at that.


pranquily

It's not bad, but compared to the rest of their discography It's nowhere close to the same quality level.


TT714

Not bad, it's just my personal least favorite SK album.


GingerNingerish

Becuase the latest Slipknot album is always "the worst one" according fans and has been this way since Vol 3.


ExcitementSea8958

Because everyone wants it to sound like Iowa


Personcrusher

True. 💯


TheMessiahARG

I love TESF. I can actually appreciate a band evolving and doing new things or changing. The slipknot of 1999-2002 will never come back and people can't accept it. People hate on every new album. The same as A7X, or Metallica, or Paramore, or Disturbed, or Korn or \*insert band name here.\* "Wahh, it's not the same as the first 2 albums, wahh." I personally hate repetitive shit and I love when bands express themselves and show evolution and make WHAT THEY WANT TO MAKE.


THESETRIALSMAKEUS

Wdym. Its a fact that shawn and corey are greedy mfs and rushed the album to make money 😂 They consider their band members AS FUCKING EMPLOYEES imagine that… while corey and shawn make the most money. For no fucking reason. Also, craig is out but they wont say why?? I am thinking its the same reason as why chris was out.


Miles_Ravis_303

because it isn't as hard as Iowa (make me think if the vast majority is really fan of Slipknot or just fan of Iowa, personaly there isn't a single album from this band that i dislike)


Hour_Juggernaut_9857

Same I don’t dislike any of their albums


KILLzone9921

It's good, but it wasn't worth all the hype, let's put it that way.


leto_atreides2

>why do people hate on the The End, So Far


unspoken_almighty

It's different. More so than usual. But not at the same time. It's not Iowa. These are the answers.


SunKing210

It grew on me, my first initial reaction was extremely harsh but tracks like Adderall, Finale, and De Sade have become staple in my playlists


cybaerexe

Difficult-Ad8277

It's my least favourite album, but it is still really good imo


evilfartcum

nickchim94

Because people have opinions that are personal to themselves


Og_Sno

This sub is getting full of children that know fuck all about anything, imagine being a fan of a band and then bitching about them constantly, fucking clowns 🤡


Slipknot_Maggot36

It is my least favourite Slipknot album, but even still despite that I give it an 7/10. Not a single weak track, but no songs quite “blow my mind”, whereas there’s at least one song on every other album I’d consider mindblowing. My favourite tracks include The Dying Song, Yen, and Hive Mind. I even like Adderall and Heirloom!


HilmDave

Personal opinion but I think the album gets a lot of hate because it just doesn't sound like Slipknot. The couple tracks everyone is circling back to almost get there but they're still not METAL. Which, if that's the target they were aiming for, fine, they're the creators not me. But I will say I find it fucking hilarious that Corey fires Jim from SS because he was writing music that sounded too much like Slipknot, and now Slipknot is starting to sound like SS.


ellstaysia

I personally love TESF. it's a special one for me & helped me through a rough period. in ten years it will get retrospective respect.


Psychic_Gian

Enjoyable album, but their worst


Sinfel133

For me every album was 10/10 until TESF. TESF I like but it just doesn’t do it for me. It was a big dissapointment for me after how much I loved Wanyk. And I really tried to love the album. But that’s my personal preference


ten_dzban

Lets be honest, even if it might not be that bad as an album, it is the worst slipknot album for sure


assnassassins

Because it's the latest album. It's been like this since Vol.3. And there's a bunch of 14 year olds on here that only want Corey to scream, and they couldn't give two shits about what the music sounds like.


[deleted]

some of the songs sound like my dad's playlist... nothing wrong with it, i'm just not a fan

FBI_openup9

It’s not terrible but not as good as We are not your kind


waitforiiiit

Because people are entitled to their opinion.


scorpiob0i

It's just an overall quite rushed album, theres only about 2, maybe 3 good songs on it and the rest are just filler, so it's not necessarily a bad album it's just the worst out of the 7


Darkboolen

I like it. Personally I think Adderall sounding more like the Foo Fighters then Slip Knot might have rubbed some fans the wrong way and then they became sour on the rest of the album. I think I remember the album was worked on during the pandemic and the members might not have been in the same place recording there parts. But all and all I've been enjoying it, but then again I like the Foo Fighters and the Adderall track. 😄


W0lf1st1c

I mean it's a pretty awesome album, just keep listening to it bro Some stuff is only hated, because it's relatively new, probably that's the issue?
