10 Most Underrated Slipknot Songs

10. All Hope Is Gone

For many faithful Slipknot fans, there's not all that much to say about 2008's All Hope is Gone.

While certain tracks like "Psychosocial" and "Dead Memories" did fairly well upon release, the record as a whole felt like the band on autopilot rather than breaking any new ground. That lukewarm reception is actually a shame considering the power behind the title track.

Arriving at the very end of the record, this tune takes all the dark energy that the band is known for and pushes it to the absolute brink, with every instrument trying to smack you down to the ground. By the time Corey Taylor finally reaches the line "We'll end the world when all hope is gone," it's like listening to the rapture being played out in real time.

Though this song has the sonic power of a wrecking ball, it almost didn't make the record due to its title. Inspired by a message painted on the inside of an abandoned school, percussionist Clown originally balked at the idea of using it, thinking it was too pessimistic for the band.

The subject matter may seem pretty dour, but if you found something that can unsettle someone as maniacal as Clown, you know you have something good on your hands.
