Strange times in Slipknot-Lager: Long-term member Craig Jones has apparently left (gone?), an ominous website with a diffuse soundtrack has been put online, while the relevance of the Adderall EP, which was released at the same time, is more questionable.
You don’t have to understand this release strategy, it turns to the single left hanging in the air Bone Church So now 20 minutes again everything about the just as great as (whether its stylistically more on Queens of the Stone Age because classic Slipknot-Trademarks reminiscent,) polarizing The End, So Far-Opener Adderall.
Unfortunately, the material served up inflated to the EP doesn’t necessarily make you any smarter either, which is why Corey Taylor and Clown Grahan (or their current vicarious agents) have recognized an interesting added value in these five tracks to believe – or at least why they are releasing them under the EP banner had to. (Well, tossing out these relatively lazy, low-bandwidth adaptations on Record Store Day as stale cash-grab cheek would have been the obvious thing to do—only presenting them digitally has a surprisingly fan-friendly aftertaste).
Death March is de facto just a new name for the now separated, dark looming ambient intro by Adderallwhich is directly in (probably self-explanatory due to the title) Adderall (No Intro) transitions – a track cut, that’s all there is. Anyone who wants to save 64 seconds of atmosphere work in the future (or enjoy it alone) may appreciate this, but to get this job, which at best is a nice bonus material sleight of hand, as an elementary EP motivation in the ring, is of course absurd.
Apropos: Red or Redder is a delirious-redundant interlude that falls out of the rest of the context and seems arbitrarily inserted before Adderall (Instrumental) – nomen est omen, of course! – then, almost as a symbolic and to the point mirror image of the essence of the EP, the unexcited elegance of the song revels without vocals, without actually allowing Corey to delve deeper into the mood. Because, just to make it clear: it’s not bad at all – it’s just kind of unnecessary without fan glasses.
The fact that the EP doesn’t amount to a completely meaningless overdose is then solely due to that Adderall (Rough Demo) (which thumps more at ambient industrial, and synthesizes parts of the piano like an energized harpsichord, while the non-drums drive comes from sedative pulsing waves). And also the Reznor’n’Ross theme variation Hard to Be Here can be allowed to pass more spherically – even if the closer reveals practically no new facets of the song on this EP, which is four times tolerably variable and only inspired to a very limited extent. (By the way, these two pieces together with the instrumental variant would have given a much more coherent and effective impression of the project as an alternative version triple in the form of a single.)
Of similar nature, today enjoying a legendary reputation remix works by Nine Inch Nails kcome Adderall however, not even in these positively noted phases. But at least they dampen the amazement at an obviously disoriented time in the Maggot universe, including extremely ambivalent publications like this one. There is still a slight revaluation between the points (devoid of any objective logic) – because it is amazing that all these minimally shifted perspectives on Adderall ultimately not oversaturate and thus to a certain extent prove what an indestructible composition Slipknot since fundamentally delivered.
