Slipknot 9.0: Live -- 5 Stars Maggots

Greetings MetalMortal Maggots!
As promised, I am going to give you the low down on Slipknot's latest release Slipknot 9.0: Live (released 11/1/05). iTunesIt's a 2CD, 24 track marathon of mayhem and intensity. All the tracks are live performances from around the world.

This album actually gives you the feel of being there live, right down to the album cover with the hands reaching toward the stage. For those of you that have been to a Slipknot concert, you know what I'm talking about. It's insanity. It's rage. It's an explosion of sound. It takes you to the edge.

A lot of live albums out there generally sound like shit, but not this one. Everything sounds really good on this album and the songs give you that little extra from the live performance (extra guitar fills, drum solos, Corey interacting with the crowd, crowd going nuts, public address announcers introducing the band, etc.) The absolute best song on this album is (Sic), the crowd goes off taking you there and then the band hits you with everything they've got for almost 4 minutes of chaos. 5 stars, period.
Later,
Tommy Knocker
