I am always looking to expand my horizons, however, so I'll look into your recommendations. What do you find so horrible about Slipknot out of curiosity? I don't love them, but I don't think they're terrible either.

Consider how bland their music is. Their live show is outright pathetic. They are overly pretentious and are "paving" a 5 lane freeway with carpool lanes and a fast track. If you catch my analogy.

The riffs (since this is a guitar website) are boring. They provide nothing entertaining and nothing which haden't been done ten years before they came around except use a DJ.

A quick browse at your profile tells me you really don't have an idea where metal has gone. I think you'd be surprised the stuff that was around in the 80's when metallica was at their peak.

Metallica did what they did. They made 4 decent albums. I'm curious as to how much music you actually listen to if you think that no other band is progressive fast and heavier. Which in reality doesn't even speak to the quality of the music. But in regards to the genre of metal, metallica have been passed up. I have named bands which outdue metallica in every aspect. I will do so again just to refresh you.

Opeth
Death
Nile
Atheist
Cynic
Carcass

and thats only a handful of mainstream bands.

Now most of everyone on this website has the IQ of a walnut so I don't come on that much anymore. But Lamb of God is pretty generic overall, I say this because their songs truly sound the same. I won't touch Slipknot because they are truly horrible.

Now that Death Magnetic is out and I have heard it, there is some good songs and some terrible songs. Too few good songs to warrant owning the album. But that's my opinion. Its nothing I haven't heard from them before.
