Maybe, just maybe that's why you don't see why they were picked? Lol.
Anyway, that's a fan voted poll, so it's whatever. I'd personally give it to Adam Jones.
THIS!!! A THOUSAND TIMES THIS!!! I became a Slipknot fan in the past year, and the more you delve into it the more creative you realize they are. There are so many layers to each of their songs, and We Are Not Your Kind really exemplifies how they strive to create something new, different, and incredible each album cycle.
@Calvin Phillips If you're wondering about the specifics, this album cycle they have continuity from song to song (like Dark Side of the Moon or some of the songs on City of Evil) as well as there was A LOT of sampling and synths through the album. Additionally, Jim Root (lead guitarist) branched out and used a Floyd Rose for his guitar portions of the song "Spiders" (Think the solo to Mad Hatter). Jim Root is a die hard Fender fan, and he had it put on a Jazzmaster.
The sounds you will hear and how they were put together on the new album in my opinion are unmatched, new, and different. I would highly recommend that you listen to the album start to finish in order (it doesn't take to long).
Finally, the album makes a lot more sense when you follow Slipknot as well as listen to the singles and songs they release before the album. Hearing how they fit into the context of a full album that flows from song to song is mind boggling.
