AT LAST, SOMETHING AS SCARY AS SLIPKNOT HAVE ALWAYS LIKED TO PRETEND THEY ARE: Slipknot, talking about the new album::

"We're taking a lot more chances, but still staying true to what we do. borrowing not only from our metal roots, but from our rock roots, and our Pink Floyd roots. You can hear influences of everyone from Slayer to Amen to King Crimson."

Actually, it could be that under the influence of Rick Rubin, the 'knot might have fused together something worth listening to out of an unprepossesing bunch of mangled influences, so we're not going to write it off just yet. But they're still going to wear the stupid masks on stage, so we're not going to actually hold breath or anything.
