DeanG.Sep 11, 2008This album was very close to a 10, not give it a 10 because its not a classic, its a modern great for metal though and i recommend it for anyone that likes this kind of music.

JoeyW.Nov 18, 2008Their best album to date and an instant favorite, this time Slipknot delivers from the best of 2 worlds, from their old nu metal heavyness to their melodic, well-written work from the previous record, mighty worthy a praise.

KyleMDec 17, 2008It's got good lyrics. It's got anger. It's got nice twists. But it just doesn't have the slipknot twist. I'm giving it 8 just because it's slipknot.

Aug 18, 2010I love every single Slipknot album but this one is my favorite. There are many different styles on this album; ranging from erie melody to explosive thrash. The thing that unifies all of the songs is that they are all equally heavy. You can't go wrong here.

Dec 11, 2010Slipknot, at their finest. There's nothing to say here, but, AWESOME. One of my all-time favorite albums, easily my favorite Slipknot one, Just an incredible album.

Mar 18, 2011Excellent. It´s the real combination of Iowa heaviness with the Vol.3:Subliminal Verses quality. Really Masterpiece. Listen to it to feel completely energized.

Jul 17, 2011What can I say? This album is what got me into Slipknot in the first place. I personally love it all the same as their other albums. This is good music all around.
-
Apr 8, 2014The album is good but it did have that energy.My favourite is All hope is gone , gehenna and vendetta. But still, they can't beat the previous album: Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses.

Oct 5, 2019It's a good album with good music, and Psychosocial is good and it's just a very good album, with amazing masks, and good head banging music

ChrisE.Aug 26, 2008Slipknot has always progressed, each album evolving on the last, this isn't the first, nor iowa, nor subliminal verses. standing by itself, it is very good.

DylanD.Aug 26, 2008An excellent, excellent album that shows the maturity of the group as a whole. Excellent turn to what sounds more thrash metal than Nu-Metal. For me, this album will only be beaten by Metallica's Death Magnetic.

TylerG.Aug 28, 2008Culmination of their career. Freaking awesome in lamens terms. Hate with intelligence is presented here perfectly.

victorb.Sep 3, 2008It was not what i expected at all, the songs are good but the tone of them is weird, i mean if your gonna do alternative with metal you have to put some distance between both... so i give it a thumbs up, but the band did not surpass the challenge of making a better album than the last.

ALH.Aug 26, 2008Slipknots career has culminated to this album: it is the best summary of their music in one unbelievably impressive whole. the best metal release of the last 5 or so years...beat this Metallica.

JaneCAug 26, 2008The sound of this album is outstanding. So bone crunchingly perfect to listen to. Their best album yet!

JayV.Aug 26, 2008Totally amazing, unexpected in some aspects but none the less awe inspiring. A some how bleak yet vibrant expression of opinions and feeling about the world today and personal events.

Jul 2, 2012SlipKnot are without much of a doubt, one of the most distinguished metal bands of all time. Their music are unique in their own rights, I purely posted on this album because it's my favourite one. SlipKnot (In general) are brilliant anyway, to any heavy-metal loving person.
-
Jun 30, 2012It is hard to better Volume 3, and this was proven by All Hope Is Gone. It in itself is a great album with punishing sounds from Psychosocial and melodic efforts emphasizing Taylor's vocal abilities such as Child of a Burning Time. Great album, but not quite as good as previous.
-
Mar 15, 2013This work has everything that characterizes slipknot:
Hardness, melody, strong percussion, good lyrics, good DJ sound, etc.
Definitely one of the best works of Slipknot and one of the best albums of 2008, is a complete disappointment that many do not hear this great work.
This album definitely deserves a throne in the world of music of the decade 2000.
They must listen before dying -
Oct 27, 2014Their worst album to DATE!!! the only good songs on here are Psychosocial and Sulfur the rest are watered down with acoustic guitars or they just are not as good as the others.

Jul 18, 2020I know that psychosocial is the most liked song, i don't know. But i really like That song called "Sulfur" its like one of the best metal songs ever made. And the Art of this album... It's so damn epic, but that's my opinion.
-
May 8, 2021Amazing album, every song is amazing especially Sulfur, Psychosocial, Dead Memories, and Snuff, which all can be considered as masterpieces.

Awards & Rankings
-
All Hope Is Gone as a whole winds up being as bleak and unforgiving as its title.
-
The set is at once Slipknot's most ambitious and accessible outing to date, with a broad palette of sounds and textures that shift faster than Michael Phelps off the starting block.
-
Happily, Slipknot can pull in these directions and still maintain a new standard of bone-crunching intensity . There are louder metal bands in the world, for sure, but the Iowan nine-piece continue to make the most noise.
