Amazon.co.uk Review
For most bands, the process of experimentation involves infusing more traditional song structures with weirder, or less familiar sonic elements. Not so for Iowa's Slipknot. All Hope Is Gone, the metal neuftet's fourth full-length, finds them further mining the seam that produced 2004's Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses, adulterating their caustic, percussion-heavy take on thrash metal with acoustic guitars and anthemic choruses. Present too, though, is a heaviness that harkens back to 2001's aggressive Iowa, meaning the likes of "Psychosocial" and "Dead Memories" mix big, inclusive vocal hooks with bulldozing low-end and savage percussion breakdowns set to arcane time signatures. Nor is it all set to formula: "Butcher's Hook", for instance, sounds nothing like anything in Slipknot's catalogue to date. It is a slamming funk-metal track not unlike The Rollins Band, with broiling! anti-establishment lyrics and a huge call-and-response chorus. The occasional Nickelback-like chorus might appall the diehards, but Slipknot are still stretching themselves, and All Hope Is Gone stands up to anything in their catalogue. --Louis Pattison

 Slipknot All Hope is gone October 29, 2008

A quality album- not fot the die hard fan of Slipknot- they have adpated there sound a bit - solos and awesome riffs to head bang too. personally it shows they have matured as a band and moved on from the old sound. Still very heavy in parts- enjoyable if your into headbanging and not the imagery and bandwagon that people jumped on with Slipknot- this is about the music and very impressive!

Furious guitars, and politically/emotionally charged lyrics and the best voice in metal propel "All Hope is Gone" to the status of the best metal album of 08 so far.
Things start of menacingly with "execute", an intro reminiscint of IOWA's (515), but the album really gets going when "Gematria(The Killing Name)" kicks in. Intense thrash riffing enshrouds the screams of "WE WILL BURN YOUR CITIES DOWN"; a clear signal of intent. "Sulfur" continues in the same vein but with Taylor singing in the chorus rather than his trademark growl. First single, "Psychosocial" is an absolute powerhouse. It pounds into your head before offering light relief with Taylor again singing the chorus in a very ear-friendly tone.
Then comes controversy: "Dead Memories". The song is of a high quality, like 90's grunge given a Knot makeover, but somehow doesn't sound right after the blistering opening tracks. The complaints will flood in that it is too "Stone Sour". Good thing then that "Vendetta" comes on, before you can question the previous track. "ARE YOU READY FOR THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE?" shout the Knot and you feel obliged to say YES."Butchers Hook" cranks up the anger several notches, an instant Slipknot classic.
"Gehenna" is exeperimental, eerie and brilliant. "This Cold Black" is the heaviest song on the album, whiplash guitars and snapping drum work powers Taylor's talk of "PNEUMATIC DESTROYERS"- ending in an astonishing crescendo of noise. "Wherein Lies Continue" is brutal until the softly sung "I WONT CONTROL, OR RESTRAIN THINGS I DONT UNDERSTAND" gives melody to the monster. "Snuff", however takes melody to the max. It just depends whether you can appreciate Corey's singing voice in Slipknot, rather than Stone Sour. "All Hope is Gone" finsihes the album off in epic, speed metal fashion.
One hell of an album.

I have read other people's reviews of this album, but I am not going to analyze it for you. I will tell you that, musically and lyrically, it is Slipknot's most well presented album, tjhough taking no credit from its precedessors. All Hope Is Gone still has the same presence that the first two albums had, together with the roundedness of Vol 3 (Subliminal Verses), but it is different; it still retains the power that first drew me in and the style is just as vital but, in a sense, has come of age, without losing any of the band's originality.
Lyrically brilliant, this album has something of the Marilyn Manson touch to it; there is anger and a passion, but directed anger and a passion that comes from awareness: Gematria (The Killing Name) is that anger, whereas Butcher's Hook and All Hope Is Gone are reflections of the awareness. But, for those who just want to listen to a thoroughly amazing and outstanding heavy metal album that makes you want to rock until your head explodes... this is it.

Slipknot's long awaited return can only be introduced with something so heavy it will melt your face, which is what they have done here! I was hoping that the new stuff would be much heavier than vol 9, and if the rest of the album is the same, then yes I have my wish! Bring on the new album!
so much for the media to report they are breaking up August 18, 2008

to be honest this album is a two finger defiant act of proving to their doubters that the rumours of a split have been far from true as ALL HOPE IS GONE is full of vitrol and rehitoric hate that it comes close to matching the brilliance of their debut album and IOWA but not eclipsing them as classics as songs like the title track and Psychosocial are full of non stop drumming and riffs and of course the still going stong vocals of Corey Taylor shows the Nine Piece are far from finished in the House of a thousand corpses.
