#1025 Slipknot – All Hope is Gone

Slipknot again? I hated their last album on the list of 1001 Albums… I gave them 0/10. Can their fourth album All Hope is Gone be any better or will it be worse? I am not really a heavy metal guy, but there have been some exceptions. I expect to hate this album. I guess […]
