Editorial Reviews
After 6 turbulent years, Slipknot returns with one of their heaviest and most intense body of work - .5:The Gray Chapter. Stretching from grief to anger and beyond, the album touches on the most difficult period of the bands career and serves as a tribute to a lost friend and bandmate. Led by the ferocious "The Negative One" and the first single "The Devil In I" the album ranges from the raw moments from the bands self-titled debut and follow-up Iowa to the dynamics of Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses and All Hope Is Gone. .5: The Gray Chapter is classic Slipknot while remaining fresh and innovative and proves Slipknot continues to be the premiere heavy band of this generation.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2015Good but not my favorite slipknot. A few songs are almost childishly simplistic lyrical wise. I understand the mourning for Paul was needed and expected on this long awaited album but the whole problem with long periods between albums are that the longer people have to wait the more greatness fans will expect. Now I'm not trying to be that guy who is never satisfied nor am I the type of person who can't move on that always expects the same exact sound as whatever my favorite album happened to be... but regardless I have a opinion as we all will. For better or worse. With that being said the album is good... worthy of a knot album but I am looking forward to the next album where the need to mourn is over and they can get back to focusing on the music instead of the almost expected material that they had to release by personal mourning and fan expectations to do such on this album. You can easily hear that the pulse is still alive but I'd be a liar if I were to say that the absence of Joey Jordison isn't noticeable. There are usually just two band members that cannot be replaced in a band without losing a big part of that magic that made the band special to begin with. The singer and the lead guitarist but when you have a drummer as good as Jordison and that drummer is allowed to be distinguished then you just can't replace him without losing the bodies heartbeat.The new drummer is great... in his own way and rhythm but he's different and being so the sound is and hence the band is. As a 43 year old who has just enough experience and wisdom to be able to help others but still too too young to use it for myself my advice to the band is to get over your petty bickering and do whatever you need to do to reconcile the whole band as much as possible. First of all nothing is do-she-her (lol) than fans hearing about "hardcore" monsters of metal acting like spoiled millionaires throwing temper tantrums over which millionaire gets what cut of the pie. Let me tell you what... you are all playing with fire. Be smart and learn from history. Let me remind you of what happens to bands who changed the ingredients. Guns-n-roses?? Together they were huge...separately they all suck. Van Halen... with David Lee Roth they rocked...they were the flagship of a generation of young rebels who helped inspire some metal bands greatest. After Roth? Van Hagar? Lol.. they inspired a generation of yuppies. Don't inspire yuppies guys ....get yourselves together before it's too late.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2014I pre-ordered this album and was able to download The Devil In I and The Negative One ahead of the full release date. I was beyond impressed with these tracks and was interested to see what I was in store for us on release day. Was it going to be a mix of heavy songs and slow moody songs? Was this going to be some good songs mixed in with a bunch of whiny, emo lyrics?
It is neither.
This album sets itself apart from the earlier releases while still maintaining that Slipknot attitude and sound. It is incredibly heavy and aggressive and I must mention the lyrics multiple times because they are outstanding. This album lacks nothing....musically or lyrically. I read an interview by Corey Taylor a couple of months ago where he stated this album would be heavy but also moody. This album is supposed to be a culmination of all the feelings and emotions the band has dealing with the last few years...especially with regards to the death of Paul Gray.
While Slipknot certainly has reasons to put out an emotional, angry, hostile or even an emo album... they chose to release this album. It is emotional, it is angry, it is hostile and all of these emotions are put in their proper place amongst some great musicianship and amazing lyrics. I have always been a fan of Corey's writing style but the lyrics on 0.5 are on a new level. You can feel the anger and the pain these guys have felt in a musical package so well put together it can stand against any so-called "emotional and meaningful" album in any genre.
Simply put...this album is amazing! Every Slipknot release until this point has had tracks I love and a few I can live without. I have listened to it from start to finish many times over and I love every track. I am in no way a Slipknot fan boy but they have outdone themselves with this release. Every track holds its own on this album and every track deserves your full attention. While it does have its moody parts, those parts do not take anything away from the rest of the album...they only compliment it. The moodiness is presented in a real and mostly aggressive manner and this album is never emo in any way.
0.5 is raw...it is emotional...it is heavy...it is real.
Buy this album.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2025Great hardcore album to listen to
- Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2014I don't know where to begin. Simply stated: this is an amazing CD. I started listening to rock/metal when I was 13 years old (year 2000, a bit before Iowa was released). I was in love with Mudvayne and Slipknot at that time. Since then I have migrated to heavier bands such as Behemoth, Meshuggah, Aborted, etc, etc. For me, Slipknot became an afterthought about 5 years ago. Then I heard "The Negative One" a couple months ago. I thought that song was great...but then I heard "The Devil in I" and was floored by that song. I've been eagerly awaiting the release of this CD since then.
So, here we are now. Slipknot is back and I feel like I'm in middle school again. I'm in love with this CD. I wouldn't hesitate to say that this is the most well-rounded CD they've created. Yes, it is unfortunate that Joey is gone...but I can't say that I miss him. The drummer did a fantastic job filling into his role. The percussion, samples, and guitar-work are amazing as well. Corey's vocals are on point in this CD. He sings a fair amount, but not overly much. The growls and screams are perfect. They really did do a great job of blending all the best elements of Iowa and Vol. 3.
After just a few days of listening to the CD...my favorite song would be "Custer" (see review title~) followed by AOV/The Devil in I/Killpop. I can't wait to see Slipknot live again - I only got to see them once (at the first Mayhem Festival in 2008, the first concert I ever went to). If you've ever liked Slipknot then just buy then CD now. I would rate this CD 10/5 if I could.

シルベスター・礼奈Reviewed in Japan on September 21, 20245.0 out of 5 stars Vol.3に近い
メインで作曲をしていたドラムとベースが交代してからの作品。今回はほとんどの曲をCorey TaylorとJim Rootが作曲している。少し不安だったが、かなり頑張っている。あとは好みの問題で、個人的にはお気に入りとは言えない。どうも何かが足りないと感じてしまう。
全体的にパンチは少し弱いかもしれない。妙にプログレぽかったり、地味なリフだったり、今までのように1度聴いてガツンと来る曲は少ない。たぶん演奏が綺麗すぎるのかも。何回か聴けば良さに気づくパターンが多い。そういう意味ではVol.3に近いバランスだ。Vol.3より激しいが、あのアルバムのような名曲は無い。少し悲しくておとなしい「The Devil In I」が一番インパクトのあるメロディなのかもしれない。

Thomas BönischReviewed in Germany on October 19, 20145.0 out of 5 stars Lang hat es gedauert aber der Knall ist groß
Mahlzeit das ist hier meine erste Rezension.
Erstmal ich bin Slipknot Fan seit 2001, Left Behind war der zündend Song damals. Slipknot self titled und Iowa höre ich heute noch total gerne und gehören definitiv zu meinen Fav Albums OF ALL TIME. Vol. 3 war nicht schlecht aber da gefällt mir coreys Gesang net so dolle. All hope is gone naja kp ganz solide sag ich mal paar richtig geile Tracks war damals beim Konzert 2008 in Berlin das war der BURNER....... Nun denn heute 2014 ich war so Ultra gespannt auf das neue Album das glaubt ihr net!!! Als The negative One veröffentlicht wurde war ich echt guter dinge und wurde nicht enttäuscht!!!
Für mich ist das Album noch vor vol.3 und Ahig...... ja Paul ist Tod joey ist raus und klar das es anders klingen würde wenn die beiden noch dabei wären aber hey das Album ist definitiv wieder geiler Roher gitarrensound, Drums ballern und endlich wieder diese verrückten kranken stellen.
XIX - Das intro gefällt mir sehr gut ich mag so ruhige Anfänge die Stimmung aufbauen und das tut es beim ersten hören hatte ich Gänsehaut!!! 8/10 Punkte
Sarcastrophe - Fängt ruhig an und geht dann voll in die Eisen ;) Slipknot ist zurück ab da kann keiner mehr bezweifeln das sie wieder ein Stück in die alte Richtung gehen!!! 9/10 Punkte
AOV - Fetter Song ganz solide meiner Meinung rockt aber haut mich net so derbste vom hocker. 7/10 Punkte
The Devil in I - Der Duality Song von Gray chapter wobei ich diesen am Anfang wirklich net mochte muss ich sagen mit der Zeit wird der immer fetter und gehört definitiv zum einen der besten songs des Albums! 10/10 Punkte
Killpop - Fängt seltsam an für Slipknot Verhältnisse und der ein oder andere vermutet bestimmt nen Stone Spur song^^ BULL[...] Bands entwickeln sich und der Song ist meiner Meinung echt interessant und macht spaß der Refrain rockt. 8/10 Punkte
Skeptic - Also dieser Song hat es mir mit am meisten angetan der Refrain ist einfach BOMBE ...... hab so ein krassen Ohrwurm davon
das ich es ständig triller und mitten im Song gibt net fetten Headbang Doublebass Part FETT FETT FETT....... 11/10 Punkte ;)
Lech - Endlich hört man wieder geile Samples Sounds die auf Ahig fehlten die Strophe klingt so geil und der Refrain geil geil geil. Definitiv eher ein Iowa angesiedelter Song. 10/10 Punkte
Goodbye - Tolle Ballade mit der Widmung an Paul wobei was heißt Ballade ist einfach geiler gefühler Song und es kommt auch so rüber! Corey singt Clean OH MEIN GOTT aber ey es ist echt fett pflichtsong. 9/10 Punkte.
Nomadic - Fettes Riff, geile Sounds, Samples wieder drin und der Refrain auch geil. wer vol.3 mochte wird den song lieben!!! 9/10 Punkte.
The One that kills the Least - Auch wieder grundsolider Song haut mich persönlich nicht ganz vom Hocker aber kann ja noch werden. 6/10 Punkte.
Custer - Ja HEADBANG kann ich nur sagen welcher Maggot hat seit vol.3 nicht auf sowas gewartet!!! Wenn der Song live gespielt wird kann sich keiner mehr halten!!! DEFINITIV ein Highlight auf dem Album. 10/10 Punkte
Be prepared for Hell - Ist son zwischengeprängel nichts besonderes meiner Meinung nach SKIP ....... 5/10 Punkte.
The negative One - Ja der Song der Hoffnung verbreitete!!! Ich glaub dazu brauch man nichts mehr sagen! 10/10 Punkte.
If Rain is what you want - Fängt ruhig an baut stimmung auf wirkt erst ganz unscheinbar aber zum ende bricht er total aus! FETT
9/10 Punkte.
Override - Bonus song hoar gefällt mir net ganz so dolle weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht was ich dazu sagen soll. 5/10 Punkte
The Burden - Bei diesem Bonus Song sieht es anders aus .... Fetter Song auf jedenfall hätte der auch auf dem regulären Album sein können weil er macht echt Laune!!! 9/10 Punkte.
Nun denn hoffe es hat geholfen ;)
Stay 6(sic)6

Delphine.BReviewed in France on November 13, 20145.0 out of 5 stars Un bon retour de Slipknot
Etant fan depuis la première heure, je redécouvre Slipknot avec cet opus. Entre Iowa et Subliminal Verses, on y trouve de bons morceaux avec pour moi une des meilleures intros que le groupe ait fait.
Des morceaux tels que Sarcastrophe, The Devil in I ou encore Custer et The Negative One prouvent que ce groupe a encore des choses à prouver. Musicalement, le nouveau batteur se débrouille très bien, les riffs sont là et l'ambiance à la Slipknot bien présente également.
Je trouve que le chant guttural de Corey est bien meilleur que sur AHIG, peut-être un peu trop de chant clair comme dans Stone Sour, mais allons, après plus de 10 ans de carrière et de tournées, je pense qu'on peut dire qu'il se débrouille encore très bien.
Satisfaite et j'irai donc les voir en concert !!
