    Beautifully brutal - satisfying beyond description. Surpassed the high hopes I had for this album, which is the demonic butt-baby of Iowa & Vol. 3 (& I mean that in the best way possible) - the only critique I have is greedily wishing for more of these songs.

    This album is a testament to having a vision and seeing that vision through. It contains the “Alice in Chains” influences while meeting the Pink Floyd’s “The Wall” experimentation and conceptual writing. This is a legacy-writing piece of art.

    This is Slipknot's strongest album in quite some time. I personally didn't enjoy The Gray Chapter. This album perfectly fits between Self-Titled and Vol3 with slight hints of IOWA.
    Most of the songs are perfect! And songs like Spiders are very catchy. Might give a few Stone sour hints.

    По иронии, то что помечено как «Популярно у слушателей» и являются главными синглами
    Если кратко — альбом получился среднячком. За 5 лет можно было выпустить что-то и более мощное. Но это не значит, что альбом провалился. Он хорош. Хорош по своему.

    На этом альбоме вы найдёте как и психоделичные синтезаторы, так и тяжёлые гитары, агрессивные ударки. Но почти на всех песнях есть одна цепляющая «изюменка» — вокал Тейлора. Очень мощный экстрим, глубокий и пронизывающий чистый вокал. И остросоциальные тексты, куда же без них.

    По атмосфере альбом довольно неодназначный. Начинается альбом психоделическими синтезаторами, а дальше идёт мощный и агрессивный ню-метал. Эта агрессия временами перебивается медленными и мелодичными балладами или инструментальными композициями. Хорошо это или плохо — уже зависит от слушателя. Лично мне это не очень зашло — ты готов крушить и ломать всё и вся, как вдруг начинается мелодичная баллада под которую только курить на фоне ночного города и думать о смысле бытия. А дальше начинается опять крушилово. Но это оправданно тем, что это не концептуальный альбом. Он просто связан общей темой альбома, но песни друг с другом не переплетаются.

    Разбирать каждую композицию я не вижу смысла, ибо это тот же Слипнот. Лишь приведу список композиций, которые лично мне очень зашли.

    И что в итоге:
    Альбом вышел не плохой, но и не самый лучший. Я бы это назвал «в меру хороший».    … Expand

It sounds new and refreshing, enough to make you understand that this is a new and improved Slipknot, but still attached to the roots that allowed the band to captivate the minds (and necks) of a whole generation.

    What really differentiates We Are Not Your Kind from any other Slipknot record is not only, as I said before, the combination of their previous work, but also the great range of styles present on the record. The undeniable explosiveness and rage-filled trip that tracks like "Red Flag" and "Orphan" bring, one or two tracks away on the tracklist from the more melodic and experimental experience present in tracks such as "Spiders" and "My Pain". Also the mix of genres the band has shown over the years is heard on such tracks as "Critical Darling" and "Not Long For This World". Really, I could list all the songs here, but you know what? Pick the record up and figure it out for yourself. You'll thank me later.

    In other words, this is one of those records where there is no single bad track. It might take you a couple of listens, but the ultimate feeling of not knowing which song to pick as your favorite will come along shortly.

    We Are Not Your Kind is a thank you letter to the classic Slipknot fans, while also being a flag of hope, that stands proudly for heavy metal in this and future generations to come. Definitely one of Slipknot's finest. An instant classic.    … Expand

    A brilliant album. A perfect amalgamation of everything slipknot have done over the years. Their experience and emotions all coming together in an album that is fitting for the current climate of the world. I have been a fan since 1999, I have struggled with some of their experimental work and stayed the course. I’m glad I have because this is rapidly becoming my favourite album of Slipknots.

The album has plenty of the Slipknot brand experimentation, but also maturity and subtlety that you don’t expect, for whatever backass stupid selfish reason. In addition to the raw power we’ve habitually come to expect from the IA metal powerhouse, another big thing that hits like a brick in this album is the buildup. It’s there all the time: expectation of **** to come and blast it to hell, anticipation of good stuff that awaits, hope and sorta knowledge it’s coming. When it comes, it’s ultimate deliverance. How the hell do the guys do it? I’m really glad that they do. They DID it again, Bravo!… Expand

    За что хочется сразу похвалить релиз Slipknot, так это за сочетание фирменной агрессивной подачи и техничного инструментала с мягкими элементами трека — если раньше чувствовалась несостыкованность партий, и они словно существовали в разных плоскостях, то теперь припевы в лице Кори Тейлора не рушат целостности композиций.

    Да и сам экстремальный вокал претерпел хоть и небольшие, но    За что хочется сразу похвалить релиз Slipknot, так это за сочетание фирменной агрессивной подачи и техничного инструментала с мягкими элементами трека — если раньше чувствовалась несостыкованность партий, и они словно существовали в разных плоскостях, то теперь припевы в лице Кори Тейлора не рушат целостности композиций.

    Да и сам экстремальный вокал претерпел хоть и небольшие, но значимые изменения — в преимущественной части композиций нет ощущения «скрима ради скрима» и он используется для того, чтобы подчеркнуть темноту и накал трека.

    И если большая часть треков выполнена в фирменной манере Slipknot и не станет для фанатов откровением, то вкрадчивая «Spiders» и космическая «My Pain» это определённо эксперимент группы.

    Так что Slipknot склепали крепкий, ни капли не опопсевший (и это в середине 2019 года!) альбом, за который уж точно не стыдно. Определённо хочу посоветовать его тому, кто как и я не жалует экстрим вокал — надеюсь, ты будешь приятно удивлен :)

    Their previous album (0.5 Grey Chapter) put them back on the map after a career decline. On that album, every track was great, heavy, to-the-point, and had its place on the larger album. Every music critic said "oh wow, look, Slipknot is making a comeback now".

    Leading up to this album, there was a great amount of hype. In fact, it seems they are more popular now in 2019 than in 2002! Unfortunately, this album wasn't able to deliver and I think it's because 1) they sat on the album too long, and 2) tried being more experimental, but this was never their strength.

    1) Interviews show that they took their time on this album and wanted to ensure there was "replay" value and sat on the album for about 3yrs. I think this drove the passion stale and lengthened the songs. The majority of songs are over 5:00 minutes. And that's okay for some bands...if they are changing, innovative. But instead it is just a over-lengthened repeating guitar riff. To sum up, Criticism 1 of 2, songs should have have been put into 3:30-4:30 timeframes to capture the best of each track, as it does sound like there is a lot of boring filler.

    2) Oh no, why did you have to expirement and do stupid synth things? They've done this on other albums, and honestly it never added to the value - at best, their synthy "interludes" gave a 1-3min break from the heaviness. On this album, they had full-length songs which basically were more synth than metal, and this is something Slipknot should never do again.

    Conclusion: too much filler, songs too long, lack of hooks, lack of cohesion, unnecessary synthy tracks, about average in terms of catalogue heaviness. Even the best songs could have had some alterations to make them hit the mark (Nero Forte, Orphan, Red Flag, Spiders). Only Unsainted and All Out Life (which was stupidly cut from the album) were amazing songs start-to-end.    … Expand

    We Are Not Your Kind is mediocre for Slipknot, especially following the Gray Chapter. The album WANYK reminds me most of Vol. 3, with a style change and heavy keyboard usage - as well as some songs that don't really stand out among the others. I'm not a big fan of the album art either.

I'm not a big fan of the album art either. Some stand out tracks for me are Nero Forte, Orphan, Birth of the Cruel, Spiders, and Solway Firth. Tracks like My Pain, Critical Darling and Liars Funeral leave some to be desired. First off, I am not into the keyboard parts on this album. They feel to sparkly and simple, and don't fit the classic grungy natural sound that Slipknot has created in the past. I am assuming the new member is involved in the creation of these parts. If the keyboard were absent and replaced with different instruments and samples, I would probably like this album a lot more. Another issue I have is of the over simplicity in primarily the guitar parts, pertaining to melody. A lot of the melodies lie within more major scales, straying away from a heavier sound. Slipknot has done this in the past on all of their albums, but I believe they pulled it off much better then. I am however, a very big fan of Jay Weinbergs drum parts, especially in songs like Orphan and Solway Firth. The speed and precision, as well as the compositions are pretty stellar and hold the classic Slipknot attitude very well. Overall, the album is pretty good, but leaves a lot to be desired in certain departments. It's worth a listen nonetheless.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only criticism I have with this album are the interludes, they ad nothing to the experience and you could skip them and lose nothing.

    Insert Coin: Decent intro, but not at the level of (515) or 742617000027. Still ok

    Unsainted: Heavy, dark, and really good as a single. Wouldn't say it's one of the highlights of the album, but still pretty good.

    Birth of The Cruel: I honestly don't know why they made this one a single. It is ok, but far from the best Slipknot has done. And I would go as far as to say that it is one of the weakest from this album.

    Death Because of Death: Totally unnecessary interlude. Nero Forte: Damn this song is good! A lot of people say is their favorite and I totally get why. Heavy, really heavy, the falsetto in the chorus is unlike anything else Corey has done, and the drums are on point, which is something you'll see me say throughout the whole album.

    Critical Darling: This screams single all over it. Heavy riffs, clean almost pop chorus, but that breakdown is some heavy stuff. Really good support song. For some it might even be one of the best.

    A Liar's Funeral: This is Snuff, but heavy. This song hits hard. In my opinion it is one of the best from the album, however, it is very different from anything else in here, some people love it, some others hate it. Listen to it and think for yourself.

    Red Flag: Another highlight. Wow those vocals, and that riff, and that drum, oh that drum. It is so good you'll want it to be longer than just 4 minutes.

    What's Next: Completely pointless interlude Spiders: This is a weird song. It is so bizarre that it makes it amazing! Not heavy at all, in fact if it had "Maroon 5" next to it it would be sounding all over the radio. But this doesn't mean that it's bad, not at all! You have to listen to it and draw your own conclusions.

    Orphan: Wow, WOW! What a beast of a song! Seriously one of the best from the band ever! It sounds similar to Heretic Anthem, but the production is so much better and cleanner. The lyrics hit hard as well. And those drums. Jay did an amazing job with those drums! Overall a song you can't miss, even if you don't like the band or this album.

    My Pain: After Orphan I expected something better, but we got the most boring song from the band. More boring thatn scissors, more boring than Iowa, than any other song they've made. Probably one of the most strange songs they have done. It's not bad, but it is boring.

    Not Long For This World: Wow, WOW! This one is another highlight. What an amazing song! This is kind of like A Liar's Funeral, but more extreme. Heavier, darker, hits even harder. Overall it is amazing!

    Solway Firth: I have waited to get to this one. If you're reading this. STOP! Whatever you are doing, stop it! Go listen to this song and then come back. This is by far the best song of the album and in my opinion the best song of the band. Heavy as **** Dark, the drums are flawless, the vocals are the best we've heard from Corey. I just can't describe how much I love this song. It is perfect!

    If you like Metal, Slipknot, or both. Then go listen to this album right away, you will not be disappointed.    … Expand

It has all the elements that made that album so great, heavy vocals, clowns drumming, dope **** riffs nothin lacks with this project each track is something special, there's Only 2 or 3 where Corey's heavy vocals we've come to love aren't there due to me liking Iowa so much I shall put this album at a 10    … Expand

    I hear people say ''they've gone back to the IOWA roots!'' Yeah right, seems more like they're delusional to me. Slipknot ''We Are Not Your Kind'' pretty much a sequel to The Gray Chapter more than anything. Feels very overproduced and generic. This caters to the radio friendly rock channels and the boring masses. They did manage to get a lot of praise for this album but **** me is itI hear people say ''they've gone back to the IOWA roots!'' Yeah right, seems more like they're delusional to me.

Do whatever the hell you want corey but Slipknot haven't been the same after the third album came out, that's where they started to decline.

    Very disappointing but then again I shouldn't expect anything when they haven't made a good album in 19 years.    … Expand

    I was hoping for more than this, Nero Forte and Unsainted are really good but all the other songs kinda just mixed together, they weren’t bad but also nothing special. Excited for their new album that they have been teasing though.

    favorite song: nero forte, liar's funeral, orphan.

    overall 7/10

    Anybody who doesnt get goosebumps while listening to the, filled with rage riffs and the perfect combination of noises and atmosphere provided by this album, just has a very pretentious approach to possibly most music they listen to. If this is you, definitely consider enjoying instead of hating.

    It's a fun album, a nice combination of all of Slipknot's music. Some real bangers on there, others are ehh but listenable. It's sometimes feels like it's going on too long. But nonetheless the songs I really like, I really like. So still gives the album a boost!

    Wonderfully cohesive hour of vein-popping indignation. [Sep 2019, p.82]

    Slipknot make an unexpected impact with their newly-discovered tenderness, but it’s those instantly-recognisable throat-shredding roars that really shine.

    For better or for worse, Kind is a Slipknot record, one that has more to offer than expected and is still sometimes frustratingly short-sighted.
