Aug 9, 2019You want Iowa, the self titled and Vol.3 combined in one brutally melodic fashion then this is your album. Creepy samples, eerie intros, beautifully crafted ballads and rip roaring choruses. Definitely worth a shot for the Grammys
-
Aug 10, 2019Couple good songs, the rest is just OK or plain bad.
Not what I was expecting from Slipknot.
6/10 -
Aug 15, 2019Same old Slipknot, with more flimsy and poppy verse-chorus-verse structure. We Are Not Your Kind is very substandard. Nice instrumentals in several outros ain't even convincing.
-
Aug 9, 2019Очень интересный альбом, этот коллектив один из немногих, кто старается экспериментировать с музыкой при этом не теряет свою харизму со времен одноименника. Порадовало большое количество чистого вокала от Кори.

Aug 17, 2019Such an epic album. Their best one. I only want a fan of the interludes so I gave it a 9 instead of 10. Best album I’ve heard in a few years actually and I have it on repeat:)
-
Aug 10, 2019One word to describe this album; Different. I’m glad that after 20 years an artist can remain true to themselves and their sound while progressing enough to take risks.

Aug 4, 2020such a bad album from slipknot. I think they didn't get the right idea of new metal core.

Aug 12, 2019I wonder if I have heard another album. Values at 90% surprise me. Or do not many here know their album Iowa?
This was better classes and still worth it today.
But what some celebrate here is not normal. 2-3 good songs and the rest is mediocre to bad. Even "All Hope is gone" was better. -
Aug 18, 2019Not real Metal. Made for radio play, and for Emo kids to sing along with in concert.
-
Aug 18, 2019Well I tried several times but didn't get the point. If I would change anything, that would be DRuMS. They just suck **** on the the tracks.
-
Aug 9, 2019This is their most brutal album in sometime but I think what bothers me is that the songs do not take their own identity like they do on Subliminal Versus, they mesh together too much, I could listen to this album 5 times and not remember what songs I liked, it had some moments but I am not super impressed
-
Aug 10, 2019The fact that I've seen multiple plebs saying absurd statements like "this is Slipknot's best album" shows how absolutely delusional this bands fanbase is. We Are Not Your Kind isn't even close to as good as Vol. 3. let alone Iowa. Give me a break.
-
Aug 9, 2019Honestly, i am dissapointed, the drums does not have tha same kind of integrity and attack just the same "heavy" beat all the time with little time for fast fills, guitars are getting more repetitive and boring, the sheer hype of their music seems to be gone for me with this album im sorry but i cannot recommend this.

Aug 9, 2019Dark, heavy and aggressive! Just what you want in a Slipknot album. This will entertain casual listeners too!
-
Aug 9, 2019**** amazing. Great album with great songs (Nero Forte is my favorite), in the second half it’s Full of experimentation.
-
Aug 9, 2019Absolutely breathtaking. This band has fully delivered on every level. A feat of the best album in their discography is something I never thought would happen. Each song is unique in its own way. The atmosphere of "Slipknot" is fully earned here. If they stopped here, I would be content.
-
Aug 9, 2019I heard the Album now the 5th time and with every hearing session i find another piece of hidden art in this new and mostly daring but also winning album of slipknot. Its an album which is fresh and brave and even keep the great spirit of the band. Some also tracks remind me of IOWA times. Wouldnt be surprised if this will be one of the best Slipknot LP's. Great work. Great Art.
-
Aug 9, 2019Without a doubt Slipknot's best album and in my opinion, about as perfect as an album can reasonably get. Every single track is worth multiple listens, and that's more than I can say for most records in the sea of mediocrity that is the modern metal scene.
-
Aug 9, 2019Amazing. The only word to describe it. It is a breath of fresh air for SlipKnot in the modern era of Slipknot and makes you want more (even though there are 14 songs).
-
Aug 9, 2019While I felt that .5 was a rare misstep by Slipknot, they are now back in full force, full swing, full angst, sounding as great as ever. We Are Not Your Kind is a glorious kick in the teeth that manages to both look backwards at their back catalogue and look forward to new and better things.
-
Aug 9, 2019No words needed. Masterpiece
Great synergy of all previous album's styles.
100% recommended -

Aug 9, 2019The best slipknot album is now here the most creative and overall best album they have done easily.
-
Aug 9, 2019I have never listened to any album where i genuinely enjoyed every song this album in my eyes is perfect
-
Aug 9, 2019So good. Corey's voice is back in form. Saw him live a week ago in Knotfest. I'll Never forget that night!
-
Aug 9, 2019Absolutely amazing album. It’s up there with Iowa and ST in my opinion. 100% must buy for anyone that calls themself a maggot.
-
Aug 9, 2019I'm not some Slipknot mega-fan. I enjoy a handful of their tracks but usually don't venture beyond what immediately jumps out to me, so if I can appreciate this album enough to get into it way more than I have with any previous Slipknot album I can only imagine how excellent it must be for legit fans. Definitely worth a spin, and perhaps many more spins in the future.
-
Aug 9, 2019Nero Forte is the best song I've heard in years! The drums are absolutely savage! This entire album is brutal but so melodic!
-
Aug 9, 2019We Are Not Your Kind is nothing short of a masterpiece. It’s Slipknot ambitiously refining their sound while firing on all cylinders. Very impressive.
-
Aug 9, 2019This album is pure rage against Corey's depression with a Vol.3/Iowa/Gray Chapter style with the best melodic parts I've heard in Slipknot ever. Slipknot has been so ambitious with this album and I think is their best record since Vol.3. 10/10
-

-
Aug 9, 2019Lots of people are stating that Slipknot took the creative path full head-on and came out with the most experimental album to date. Well... I call it laziness. Interludes, poorly written and uninspired lyrics all helped to build a week record. Maybe the weakest of their career.

Aug 10, 201910/10 album. Mixture of Iowa and Vol 3. A must listen to all rock fans around the world. This album will kick your f*cking ass.
-
Aug 10, 2019One of their most cohesive, experimental, dynamic, and yet instantly recognizable works. Brilliant.

Aug 10, 2019Mix the creepiness of the Self-Titled, the heaviness of Iowa, the experimentation of Vol.3, the catchy chorus of All Hope Is Gone and the atmosphere of The Grey Chapter and you get We Are Not Your Kind. Slipknot at it's best.
-
Aug 9, 2019Can feel the evolution in both Slipknot as a band and Corey’s singing. It’s heavy, but stays authentic. Some parts are unpredictible, which is real fun to listen for the first time. I can’t say it’s a copy of any other previous albums, it’s innovative, modern, unique, and strongly stands on his own. Nero Forte is an instant favorite.

Aug 9, 2019Slipknot aways can do heavy metal: Solway Firth, Birth of the Cruel and Nero Forte show this. but this time they bring us with everything we want and a lot of thing that we dont know we want. Just amazing.
-
Aug 9, 2019This album is just awsome. Great and heavy riffs, catchy chorus, samples like vol 3 , just great . For me are the best songs Solway Firth , Unsainted , Red Flag and Liar Funeral.
-
Aug 9, 2019Without a doubt, Slipknot's best work since Iowa. A combination of Iowa and the best parts of Vol. 3, with plenty of experimentation.
-

-
Aug 9, 2019I lovr this album. This is grown, artistic Slipknot, with elements from earlier albums all the way to the reality of the band at present, as well as future experimental leanings. This is art, period!
-
Aug 9, 2019
-
Aug 10, 2019It’s like what they wanted Vol. 3 to be; Experimental and heavy but... matured. It’s their best album because it does everything very well. It’s not singularly heavy or singularly melodic, it mixes both perfectly.
-
Aug 10, 2019Corey is god, альбом очень понравился, все песни кроме deth because deth, теаепь мой 1 из любимых

Aug 9, 2019This is Slipknot at their absolute peak in every facet. It has all the elements that made their early work so great and so much more. This album deep and you will undoubtedly pick up something new with every listen. Like any masterful piece of art it's composition can't be summed up into words.
-
Aug 9, 2019We Are Not Your Kind is simply the greatest sensory experience of Slipknot and Nu Metal.
-
Aug 9, 2019Slipknot made a solid return with elements of every of the past albums.
This is sincerely one of their best albums and maybe one of the best albums of the year! -
Aug 9, 2019I think this is the point at which the band start to decline. The same detuned riffs and Corey's screams are the lowest quality in years. Theres no evil menace any more and its verging on emo hipsterism. Unsainted is great but overall it seems like the prelude to breakup. So phoned in and by the numbers you wonder where their balls went.

Aug 9, 2019I rate this album with 1. Because in this sh*t you can find only 1.5 good tracks.
All other sh*t you can turn on on the graduation school ball for slow dance... -
Aug 9, 2019I have been a huge Slipknot fan from the beginning, and it pains me greatly to have to say this but this entire album is garbage. Not once did I feel like I was listening to a slipknot album. Fact is, the band lost its way after Paul.

Aug 10, 2019I have no idea who liked this album in the first place. Just a piece of **** Tortilla - couldn't promote the album. Each track is worse than the other. Why it's called a Slipknot - is not clear. Olds people, it's time to finish your musical career. Very bad.

Aug 9, 2019With some very solid tracks and some that feel a bit too "experimental", "We are not your kind" is a good addition to slipknot's discography. Even if it is a bit of a come down from ".5 the grey chapter".
-
Aug 9, 2019HELL YEAH HELL YEAH HEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLL YEEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHH
Heavy, crazy, best Slipknot record so far. HELL YEAH -

Aug 10, 2019**** AWESOME album. corey taylor's voice is still impressive. the most badass songs: orphan, a liar's funeral, solway firth, unsainted, not long for this world, nero forte
-

Aug 13, 2019Simply amazing. It has IOWA moments but it;s not just a IOWA 2.0. From a total of 11 songs (14 but we excluded the 3 filler songs) 9 are very very good and i'd actively listen to, the other 2 are the pure clean vocal emotion songs - great but won't listen very often.
-
Aug 20, 2019From start to finish this album is a solid listen with only a couple of tracks (Spiders, mostly) that seem to break the flow of pure adrenaline. I've listened to this album several times through and I am looking forward to my next listen.

Nov 10, 2019This album is a culmination of what makes Slipknot an iconic metal band. After many, many listens I conclude it is a genuine masterpiece. There are so many incredibly songs that remind me of why I fell in love with Slipknot to begin with while still bringing something entirely new to the table.
-
Aug 16, 2019Although some guitar, sample and keyboard layers and a slight signal of maturity, it's still a kind of sound that you can wait came from Slipknot.

Dec 18, 2019This album is truly brilliant, its hard to stand out in what has been a fantastic year for metal. This album I gave a score of 10 and still struggled to put it in my Top 5 albums of 2019. You just knew as soon as Unsainted was released that this album was going to be a fantastic album and it was. The usual mixture of fantastic ballads and brutal vocals continues to impress.

Aug 12, 2019A Slipknot Record that is so new and fresh after all this years, it takes a lot of brave to leave the save corridor and release a record like this. Every Song brings new ways and more dynamic. For all the haters, its no talent to ram every note with factor 1000, dynamic in tempo, heavyness and this great sound is just a masterpiece. A new Iowa next to the Codename Orange Release last year.
-
Sep 13, 2019There were 14 songs but only 7 songs that were good they really wasted the album with those interludes which were so unnecessary and boring overall the album was a disappointment even though I've never been a big fan of the band
-
Aug 9, 2019Esse álbum tá incrível cara, Slipknot voltou com tudo com músicas que realmente ficam na cabeça! Pra mim as melhores são Nero Forte, UNSAINTED, Critical Darling, orphan e Solway Firth. Daria nota 1000 se pudesse
-
Aug 12, 2019Better than vol 3 and .5! A great listen, slipknot of old and slipknot of new all in one. Corey's vocals get better and better.
-

Sep 11, 2019This album is great. Better than Iowa and Self-Titled imo. The diversity between the songs is something you can't beat.
-
Sep 6, 2019One of the best Slipknot albums in my opinion. Somehow the songs are both aggressive yet melodic at the same time. I definitely recommend this to any metal fan.

Classic Rock MagazineAug 20, 2019Wonderfully cohesive hour of vein-popping indignation. [Sep 2019, p.82]
-
Aug 15, 2019Slipknot make an unexpected impact with their newly-discovered tenderness, but it’s those instantly-recognisable throat-shredding roars that really shine.
-
Aug 14, 2019For better or for worse, Kind is a Slipknot record, one that has more to offer than expected and is still sometimes frustratingly short-sighted.
