Which is weird because it was released on the 10th anniversary edition. Frail Limb Nursery still hasn't been officially released.
To be clear, Purity is not on the album proper but it is still included in the set. Maybe they figured the revised album has been the official album forever so Purity got relegated to b-side status.
Can't wait to hear them in Target commercials "At Target your latest deals aren't $5.55 they're $6.66"
My one gripe with this anniversary release is that I feel like 99% of those bonus tracks were already previously available. That said - Slipknot self-titled literally changed my life. As a 13 year old kid who'd only been playing drums for 3 years in 1999, hearing (sic) kick in was a true watershed moment because I didn't even know you could do that with the instrument.
“After 25 years of taking on the music business, we find ourselves with a partner that is willing to sign onto continuing what Slipknot started,” Slipknot’s Michael “Clown” Crahan said in a statement. “Only they want to go even bigger. Get ready. Hail The Knot.” a truly grim energy haunts this paragraph
apologies but all new Slipknot LLC releases will need to first be approved by the real maggots (stakeholders)
Are current members retiring and they're just going to replace them and keep the band going indefinitely? Kind of a cool idea. EDIT: Oh. Slipknot Sell Majority Stake in Music Catalog for Reported $120 Million
$120 million is a hell of a lot of cash for a band that’s as extreme in sound and image as Slipknot. Take the money and enjoy it while you’re here, I wouldn’t say no either. But can we get Look Outside Your Butthole now?
I never understood the numbers with the catalogue sales and whether the return on investment is intended to consist of royalty income or an increased asset value or both. A lot of assumptions in either case that i can't comprehend. Can't see these investments being particularly liquid.
the rights aren't super liquid on their own, but the people buying the rights to music are scooping up as much as they can get. they can leverage their giant catalogs to raise the licensing costs of their songs (monopoly style) and eventually sell their library for even more money
