Best Songs On Slipknot's .5: The Gray Chapter

Best Songs of Slipknots album the gray chapter. This album is really great. Probably the best album of 2014 if not the whole decade so far. It's up there with Slipknot and Iowa for sure. Vote for your favorite songs.
The Top Ten
1 The Devil In I

I love how almost all the song if raw screaming and the chorus is more melodic. It mixes corey's different voices and it's just awesome. Probably my favorite song off the album with AOV. It became one of Slipknot classics and it's a piece of art. The video is good too.

This is a song that mixes Corey's classic screams and Melodic vocals and as for the instruments, they are a mix of the sounds from other classics like Left Behind, My Plague, and Psychosocial.

If you want want to head bang, listen to this. Cool video too.

Epic bass and melody

2 The Negative One

This song is a beast!

3 Custer

I haven't heard a song from them like this since Spit it out, Sic, or People=Sh*t.

Best Song ever! Nominated for 2016 Grammy Awards

Listener's aggression is advised

The pure Slipknot as I Know!

4 Killpop

Best song on this album I love how soft and aggressive at the same time especially the end where it says DIE AND F**KING LOVE but their albums after Iowa censored the new albums that pisses me off so I downloaded it and its uncensored same with custer I know swearing is bad but the new albums when it censored it has a lot of silent parts which is annoying! Man it will be bad if Iowa and the first album was censored it would be like people = sh*t saying PEOPLE EQUALS ____ thousands of times so quit censoring new album that goes for Avenged Sevenfold too

This song is so bloody awesome! I can't get enough of this song. The intro is really catchy as is Corey's vocals. I have no complaints about this song

If satan was real, this would probably be his favorite song.

In a good way.

I think Blank Space is better than any of these songs

5 AOV

Man, I'm very surprised to see it down here at number six. I love this song, I think is one of the most powerful songs on the album (If not the most) competing with The Devil In I and Lech. I like almost all the songs in the album, but those three are really special to me. I voted this one to get it way up. It deserves it at least the third place. If you haven't heard it, you must. It's really awesome.

It's my favourite Slipknot song of all times. The Chorus is perfect, some of Coreys best Vocals, it has a bass solo, cool electronic noises and there is an certain atmosphere that reflects the mood of the whole album perfectly. Plus it is so varied.

I agree that the top six should be AOV, The devil in I, Sarcastrophe, Nomadic, Custer and the negative one. AOV should be higher up though in my opinion.

I gotta go with AOV, it's a clean and smooth work of art. Other than AOV I would vote XIX or Skeptic.

6 Nomadic

The chorus is incredible, and the fact that it's pretty melodic is an incredible contrast with the rest of the song, and the solos are bliss.

The chorus makes me want to join the nearest mosh pit

Best riff in the album and that's saying something

Great Riff, it's very aggressive, and exciting

7 Sarcastrophe

One of those Slipknot songs that has a Death Metal vibe to it. Anyone, it's my favorite in this album, thanks to Corey's use of harsh vocals and occasional death growls and the instrumentals are pretty rough and fast. The best thing about this song is that it makes me appreciate Death Metal to some extent (Call it Nu-Metal, but that's how I think).

How is this all the way down here?! Excellent guitar work on this track, combined with Great drumming and vocal work. What's not to like?

This is one of the best sonfs on here I think this should be at lease 3 or 2

Deserves top 3

8 If Rain is What You Want

If rain is what you want. Just take your seats, enjoy the fall

This track deserves to be a single. Very damn underrated.

Gets me so pumped

9 The One that Kills the Least

This is actually my favourite song

Should be higher for sure

10 Skeptic

About pall gray and the chorus is just amazing and really catchy

The chorus is probably one of slipknots best

The Contenders
11 Goodbye

Corey Taylor slow songs are the best. This deserves to be at least in the top 10.

11?! This song is just epic, though it's very slow

How is this 11? , this is second

2nd after devil in i

12 Lech

Why do you people always vote The Devil In I? I mean, I agree, it's an awesome song and it sure deserves number 1 in this list. But Lech is better than the one that kills the least, goodbye, skeptic, if rain is what you want and sarcastrophe. If I hadn't already voted AOV I'd voted this one. Come on people! this song is really good and is not even in the top ten, it deserves a better place.

Loved this one also... Badass!

Very underrated.

13 XIX

Eternal love for XIX, it is a masterpiece! My favorite song of my album.

Second best song on the album after devil in I

Quite easily the most unnerving song ever

Dude, have you heard be prepared for hell?

14 Override

Override, I have very special feelings for this song since is one of the songs I first heard from Slipknot when I first start hearing them. Whenever I hear it, it stills give me the first sensation of when I heard it for the first time. It's heavy, it's dark, and it pretty much represents what Slipknot was through when Paul died. It's awesome. At least it should be in the top five.

15 The Burden

It is pretty good fir a bonus track. Would deserve to be higher ranked than Be Prepared For Hell, The One That Kills The Least or If Rain Is What You Want

Slow and heavy.

16 Be Prepared for Hell

Scary as hell but still good
