Maggot Corps #9

This deserves a mention. The latest Slipknot record, 9.0:Live is oficially awesome. Makes you really want to go kill someone and stare into their dying eyes. In a good way, of course. Makes you feel powerful. All the right tracks were picked for this 2-disc set, which covers all 3 roadrunner albums, plus two old rarities and a Drum Solo of just Joey showing off (it's amazing). The sound quality has been really fine-tuned, with excellent production (again thanks to mr. Jordison a.k.a. #1) and mixing. Having been to one of their concerts, I knew what to expect, and was not disappointed at all. It explodes from the very beginning to the very end, every song an anthem, every lyric a slogan. Being a fan of these guys is not easy, but it sure is fucking fun as hell once you get the hang (and behead and headbang) of it. The sheer overwhelming might of their anger and rage just gushes through their noise like nothing you've ever experienced. Indeed, it's other title, Sensory Overload, is well-deserved. "I don't listen to music for stage presence." someone once said to me when I was going on about how mindblowingly in-your-fucking-face their live show is. Well, now you can. Stay (sic), because we all got left behind, and buy it, motherfuckers!
