HAPPY MONDAY. THERE’S A NEW SLIPKNOT SONG.

Fuck, I hate fucking Mondays.
ANYWAY, last week a super shitty rip of the new Slipknot single, “Psychosocial,” leaked (and thanks to the 57,000 of you who e-mailed us said super shitty rip). Now Slipknot axemaster Mick “#7″ Thompson (who has the strongest, most bone crushing hand shake of anyone I’ve ever met) is hosting a stream of the entire song on his MySpace page, along with “All Hope is Gone,” the previously-released title track for the ‘Knot’s new album.
Look: right off the bat, I don’t like this song nearly as much as “All Hope is Gone.” It’s got way too much Stone Sour in it, and I don’t just mean Corey Taylor’s clean vocals. That being said, it’s not a bad song – in fact, if it’s the worst track on the new album, I say we’re in pretty good shape.
The track goes on sale digitally tomorrow; meanwhile, the band unveil their new masks tonight/tomorrow morning at 12:01 a.m. They were just gonna do it at midnight like any normal person would, but their manager thought that wasn’t douchey enough.

this is a really good song. yes the clean vocals suck but that and the song all hope is gone makes this seem like a really good record. i cant wait for it to be out. i really want to see them BUT WHY WITH DISTURBED?! THEY SUCK! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TOUR WITH THEM?! i really dont want to sit through a hour long disturbed set to just see slipknot
I too like All Hope Is Gone more, but I think this is still a great song! I can’t wait for August 26th!
Maybe it’s just me, but I personally love the clean vocals. I think without them this song would get boring.
That being said, I fucking love the song and this cd can’t come out soon enough.
The new song isn’t on their page anymore but wow. That other song “All Hope is Gone” is actually halfway decent except Corey Talyor has to open his mount all spew diarrhea all over it.
Heh, yeh. I went to a signing in 1999, and Mick suddenly grabbed me by the wrist to look at my tattoo. Damn near tore off my arm at the shoulder joint in the process…
