1 + 2. I think that the new, more riffy style they're playing is trendy because that's what's popular now, not groove or nu-metal riffs like were trendy back in the day. I disagree that the s/t was more Death Metal than later albums, I disagree that Iowa was more Metal, I disagree that 3 had poorer songs. This is all my opinion you're attacking me on!
3. Fine.
4. The hype was that this was their most Metal album. I answered that hype. And there was plenty of musical discussion in the review, thankyouverymuch, and I was very specific.
Also Pantera>>>>Slipknot, whatever your opinion of Pantera is in context of all metal.
I completely agree with you Zad, in that now since the in thing is metalcore, their first single is Psychosocial which is pure metalcore. BTW, are there any acoustic passages on the album, cause a while ago Mick Thompson got a signature acoustic guitar with that gay fucking 'seven' inlay that he used to ruin a perfectly good Ibanez.
