I think the album is not that bad, it’s just not as good as the previous ones. We are extremely spoiled with awesome music from them, that’s why we expect them to release banger after banger. But all in all it fits to the fact, that roadrunner tried to rush this as fast as possible. The misprints, the wrong album name and the recycled snippets from .5 are all indicators for that. They will come back better and stronger now that they’re independent and have as much time as they want

It did take some time to acclimate to the new style but loved it more as time went om, it sure doesn't stand in anyone's shadow and I love it for that.

I was surprised by the new album, but in the first listen (hadn't even finished the first listen) I loved it. It is different, but another great one.

Jim is such an awesome person, Man. 🤘🏼💀🎸

The album is very different but there’s one amazing thing that can come out of this. When a good band expresses different forms of creativity and gets backlash they often comeback heavy as hell but also with a bit more sharpness from the experimentation. I’m willing to bet the next album will be exactly what we’ve all wanted.

The album has grown on me a lot. I just typically do Hivemind to Acidic, then H377, then Finale. Sometimes I'll do Chapeltown and Yen. The Dying Song is probably the one I listen to the least because I heard it prior so often. Adderall needs me to be in the mood for something soft.

After the pandemic I'm glad we are able to listen to new music again.

I used to love em. They're a "to each their own" band now for me.

For an album made within the covid restrictions and all that jazz it really isn’t that bad at all. It’s quality is easily the most consistent throughout the album but is also a generic ish/ safe sounding album as a result of this massive wave of change and circumstance. Something tells me their next album, which will be free of Roadrunner and able to be done as normal, will be the MASSIVE return to form we’ve been looking forward to.

It’s a great album. It shows their growth and maturity. They’re not the same guys (both literally and figuratively) they were 20+ yrs ago, and I don’t expect this album to sound like their debut. They may not love the album, and it’s creation may have been unorthodox for them, but it’s still a great one.

You're spot on with how intricate the songs on the new album are, I noticed that too and I really dig it because I love technical metal (especially Thrash). "De Sade" and "Medicine For The Dead" are my favorite softer songs, "Acidic" really caught me off guard but I instantly loved it because of how bluesy and soulful it is (Corey's vocals are getting better with age).

I love the new record medication for the dead is one my favs🤘🤘 stay sic always

they say this has new sounds but the chapeltown rag and the dying song literally are like every other song since the gray chapter (screaming high pitched singing chorus screaming and again and again) but the rest of the album feels really different the rest is amazing i still do love the dying song and the chapel town rag it just is literally the same as so many of their other songs

The album's song order in the second half is a little off to me - it makes it sound a little too one-dimensional because majority of the fast stuff is on the first half, while there are some slower and less pummeling songs put together one after another on the second half, which makes that part of the album sound a little flat to me - Medicine For the Dead, Acidic and Heirloom don't fit in this order, in my opinion, especially Medicine For the Dead followed by Acidic sounds a little strange to me, but don't get me wrong - they are one of my favourites on the album, especially Medicine, which is a true masterpiece - it's a very powerful song, but I think there should have been something faster between this track and Acidic, or that Acidic should have been put between Hive Mind and Warranty, which would really serve the album as it would make the second half sound more exciting, I think, so this is what I did and listened to it in such order, and it has a way more interesting feel to it as a whole this way - the second half sounds as interesting as the first; it makes the whole album sound a little more diverse, with more peaks-and-valleys kind of vibe in the second half as well: 01. Adderall 02. Dying Song 03. The Chapeltown Rag 04. Yen 05. Hive Mind 06. Acidic 07. Warranty 08. Medicine For the Dead 09. Heirloom 10. H377 11. De Sade 12. Finale This way it somehow sounds way more exciting to me (Medicine For the Dead and Heirloom go together quite well; the first is slower but heavier, while the second is a little faster but softer, so it gives them a more unique character this way. I left De Sade and Finale as they are, as they sound to me like the record's softer duo, while Dying Song and Chapeltown are its heavier duo), and I only put Acidic between Hive Mind and Warranty, and strangely enough, it has suddenly become one of my favourite albums by them. :P

Honestly a lot of the songs people would dislike about newer slipknot I love. Spiders and Adderall are some of my favorites, I love experimentation in music and yeah they don’t sound like slipknot songs, but they’re incredible interesting songs and make the albums they’re on more dynamic and enjoyable.

As of this comment I haven't listened to the album yet and after hearing Jim's words about it I'll listen to it with an appreciation and understanding about it's creation. I'm sure I will like it even if it would've sounded more traditionally Slipknot if the creation process had happened the way the band wanted it to.

Even being far from Slipknot's best work, I think there's some great things in The End, So Far that could be upgraded on what they'll do next. The main one is the fact that the band, at least in some part of every song, worked with creativity, but for real. I'll give the first verse of Yen, for example. Sid and Craig make it sound richer with the distortion sounds and the xylophone, and the percussion growing from something barely to clearly audible and also changing places - not just the same thing of random beats following the tempo -, this give more expression to what I'm hearing. If we had just Corey, Jay and Alex playing, it would be totally different. So, if they keep this spirit but for the entire songs, maybe they can do something that even the old school fans will enjoy.

At first I had a similar reaction to some of the songs on the album. After listening to it over and over again it’s grown on me and I like what I hear. Not a bad album in any way, but not the best either, #1 will always be Iowa. 🤘🏻🇸🇪🇺🇸🤘🏻

He has also said he was dealing with a deep depression during the production which absolutely colors the feelings negatively about what you're doing personally and professionally .

Why is it that I find the albums wich are most despised by fanbases the most interesting albums? It's like I really enjoy to see how narrowminded fanbases actually can be.

Only song that’s taking a while to grow on me is heirloom tbh I absolutely love the rest

You know what I heard?!” Jim wants to make a band with me..

I remember being a huge fan of slipknot and being told by them that Iowa was going to be the next Reign in blood. Was massively disappointed and have been ever since.

The previous album, We Are Not Your Kind, had songs that were amazing the first listen. There were a few stinkers, but it was amazing. This new album had 3 songs that were passable and the rest are weird atmospheric songs that I’ll never listen to again.
