Nov 6, 2022R.I.P. Paul Gray and Joey Jordison
My favorite album from the band Slipknot. -
May 17, 2021This album is good but still lacks behind "Self-Titled", "The Subliminal Verses", and "All Hope Is Gone".
I thought most of the songs were pretty good but the main songs that really stood out were "The Devil In I", "Goodbye", and "Custer". Still worth a listen to whether you're a fan or not. -
Feb 5, 2021such a **** album all around. Radio friendly at best and can be compared to five finger death punch. **** this album honestly.

Sep 15, 2019This album is Very good, The Devil in I is my Top 2 favorite music of all musics in Slipknot, but this album have some issues, songs like "If is rain what's you wants" and "Overide" are Just... boring, but this album still good

Aug 10, 2019Every song can be as single, there are many song which I really adore, great work

Sep 22, 2016A decade after the weird Vol 3 comes the bizarre The Gray Chapter with a scared band that want to surface their deep emotions to create some of the most interesting tunes to come in the 2010's.
A fresh break from the same same but different pop/hip hop songs of now days The Gray Chapter delivers in being something so familiar and close but neglected and strange. -
Jun 5, 2016This is an almost perfect equilibrium of Slipknot's feisty and ferocious side, to their more subtle, almost demented, melodic side. The Gray Chapter is a true testament to one of the Kings of Metal. Whilst EVERY song may not appeal to everyone, this is a more than solid album and is one I believe every Subliminal Verses and Iowa album advocate will love.

Feb 15, 2016Slipknot is back! This is a great album, better than their last album. It's dark, aggressive, angry and has all keys elements for a Slipknot album. Corey Taylor sounds great like always

Jan 12, 2016.5: The Gray Chapter by Slipknot. A german review.
Dieses Werk der Jungs aus Des Moines geht wieder etwas zu den Anfängen der Alben Slipknot und Iowa zurück ohne dabei zu vernachlässigen 1-A Hymnen abzufeuern. Alles in allem ein echt starkes Album. Anspieltipps sind AOV, Custer und Killpop. Aber auch der Rest kann sich sehen lassen.
Da es etwas an Ideenreichtum fehlt, leider "nur": 8/10 -
Feb 1, 2015Loved the album, bought it at HMV real close to when it came out, and I've been listening to it religiously ever since. I actually think this has become my new favorite SlipKnot album, even in both Joey Jordison and Paul Grey are gone. Also the people who say this sounds too much like Stone Sour are idiots.

Nov 18, 2014This record is like the difference between chucking a dump in public and chucking a dump at home. It feels like home and just feels right coming out. Go listen to this!

Oct 23, 2014An outstanding album. Full of creativity and artistry. Some songs are haunting yet beautiful, some are heavy and bad ass, some sad and thought provoking... A complete full range of emotions in one album. Not one song is put to waste! Best Slipknot album to date... Custer is an instant heavy metal classic!

Oct 22, 2014Great album, the best since Iowa, very dark, to much heavy, still the same Slipknot, with more pain, more anger, more darkness in their souls, it's a amazing album! R.I.P Paul Gray!
-
Oct 22, 2014One of the best albums this year, so far. This album have it all; beautiful anger lyrics, heavy riffs, amazing voice, ...This album deserves "Universal Acclaim". Hope music critics like the awful Rolling Stone, understand the powerful album is it.
-
Oct 22, 2014This album is absolutely amazing. I've been a Slipknot fan since '99, with mixed feelings about Vol. 3, and even more about All Hope Is Gone, but this one is the perfect blend between old and new. It's dark, brutal, and everything I was hoping for with a new release after 6 years. Welcome back Slipknot, we've missed you dearly!
-
Oct 21, 2014Unbelievably great album. The dynamics and the brutality are all perfectly executed in a masterpiece of this record. The bonus songs on the special edition are still intense and well worth a listen. So pleased to purchase this.

-
Q MagazineNov 13, 2014A struggle to balance the killer riffs and aggression that the fans want with the melodicism that the band themselves seem far more interested in. [Dec 2014, p.116]

UncutNov 11, 2014We find their extreme metal interspersed with more reflective moments. [Dec 2014, p.80]
