I genuinely thought it was good for what it is, I haven't been listening to slipknot for very long but as a metalhead for a long time i liked it. I think people have a negative outlook on it cause its so different but there are some older style slipknot songs in there for you like H377 and The Dying Song. I think this album is good because it reaches out to a new audience instead of dye hard metalheads. But then again this is just my opinion and you don't have to agree with me but I do think at its core The End, So Far is not a bad album.
