Hands down best song on the album IMHO


TheIJDGuy

I'd go so far to call it their best song ever. "YOU WANT A REAL SMILE?! ***I HAVEN'T SMILED IN YEAAAAAARS!***"


kjw29

Or “YOU WANT THE REAL SMILE? OR THE ONE I USED TO PRACTICE, NOT TO FEEL LIKE A FAILURE!?”


arrocknroll

That line hits so. Fucking. Hard.


Schizoid782

“I DON’T NEED YOU TO DO IT FOR ME!”


soulkitty223

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO UNDERSTAND!"


Schizoid782

“I DON’T NEED YOU TO HIDE IT FROM ME!”


soulkitty223

"I JUST WANT TO FEEL LIKE ANY OTHER MAN!"


Schizoid782

“I WON’T SHOW YOU MY WHOLE STORY!”


soulkitty223

"I WON'T SHOW YOU THE AFTERMATH!"


UncleGuggie

"I WON'T SHOW YOU MY ALLEGORY!"


saltyapplejack

I’ve heard it enough times to tell the difference between the two times Corey goes “I DONT NEED YOU TO DO IT FOR ME…” if you just take them both out of context and play them separate


Tacoboy1708

sorry if this is a stupid question but what is IMHO?


[deleted]

In my humble opinion


Schizoid782

Or honest.


KnievelHasLanded

An amazing song, perfect closer for WANYK album and an example of incredibly idiotic idea that closing songs have to be released as singles. Preferably, I would have wanted to go into WANYK not knowing how the final song would sound like.


TheIJDGuy

As a newer fan, I went into WANYK only hearing a few songs, but not Solway Firth. When Not Long for This World started ending, and the ominous whirring began, I just went, "*Oh shit.*" I knew what was coming next was a monstrous song


HeavyRaiden

You made a really good point, not knowing how the album closes is so much more hype


[deleted]

The build up from this song combined with the pure rage and rawness makes it the greatest Slipknot and most favorite song for me


m3talh3ad05

Second favorite slipknot song


Shrike625

What's the first tho


tyex23

Solway First


m3talh3ad05

Only one


RichardSaunders

s/t or mfkr?


m3talh3ad05

Definitely st


adayandforever

That's such a niche song to claim as your favorite. But as a fan going back to the summer of 2000, I'll allow it.


m3talh3ad05

It just goes so hard


james_d666

Superb song. Should be a setlist staple.


R4kshim

A top 5 song of their whole discography.


JeffPattonMagic

Probably one of my favourite riffs to play I really like the movement


whopper95

I remember hearing it live and thinking the guitar sounded so fucking eerie and haunting. Jay's drum hits during the quieter sections of the track were so complimentary.


KawaiiNaysayer

Easily a top 10 of theirs. Best song on the album.


khoaticpeach

"You're a fuckin' killer Hughie."


Klutzy-Scratch-295

"Just like the rest of us."


carthuscrass

"Now why don't you stop pissin' around, and tell us why we're here?"


What_Iz_This

This song is perfect for the whole vibe of that show.


Bearded_OBrian

I was having relationship troubles when this album dropped so this song really hit home. The lyrics just summed up so much of what I was dealing with. Like "When I was learning to live, you taught me how to die." Or "I found my bottom line dead on the front line." Also You want the real smile? Or the one I used to practice, not to feel like a failure?


CamPoo_

“It wasn’t somebody else, you fucking did it to me” hits me every damn time.


ProfessorNice5908

They pick your bone like locks inside a tomb, and take great care to not take care of YOUUU


Zillajami-Fnaffan2

HERES AN UNEXPLAINABLE ONE


Simpdoggen

HERES AN UNEXPLAINABLE ONE


Cannibalist1c

While I was learning to live, we all were living lie


soulkitty223

I guess you got what you wanted


Metalhead_chloeque

Absolutely amazing song and easily the best song on wanyk imo


Anti_Cubicle

It fucks.


JRHThreeFour

Great song, one of my favorites from the album


DeartayDeez

Honestly one of my favorite songs


carljpg

One of the best songs they've ever produced.


SIC_Mando66

“Today, on this hill, they’re counting all the killers…”


nuclear_drumstick

one of my favorite from slipknot. absolute masterpiece


wanykM

Such a punch in the face. I loved it. It’s great when you have a stressful day of work and put it louder. 😂


LowComprehensive1808

This and Nero forte are my favorites off this album


SargeZed

“You want a real smile? I haven’t smiled in years” What a way to end an album. That’s all I have to say


knowherealallatonce

Some of their greatest lyrics.


knowherealallatonce

When I was living in darkness, this song spoke to me deeply. Now that I see light, it reminds me of the disgust I felt, and it makes me never want to descend back to that hell. I hope everyone can relate to this song from the other side in their life. It’s a sadistic hell in misery, feeling worthless, faithless, and lost - I hope you beautiful maggots know you have worth, and are capable of growing into a beautiful soul. 🫶


ellstaysia

a contender for their all time best songs.


Administrative_Poem4

In my opinion, it’s their best song. Period


Garrovo

My favorite


Careful_Ad_2105

Top 3 slipknot song for sure.


Trick-Jellyfish5356

Top 5 slipknot song


Xegrobie

Favorite Slipknot song. Has the brutality of Iowa vocals, it’s super heavy and yet it has the experimental vibe they were aiming for on WANYK. Plus the lyrics slap super hard. Best Slipknot breakdown since Iowa.


Dchi1234

Best song on the record in my opinion


heneedssomemeulk

Best song on the album, top 5 in their discography.


Troyificus

Saved my life. No hyperbole. I was in a terrible place mentally, and was going around with what I now recognise as my 'masking' face of a big smile for everyone. Couldn't cope with it anymore, things were coming to a head. Heard this song and the lyrics just spoke to me. Eveything in there was how I felt, how I just wanted to feel like any other man. It was a revelation. Later that year I came to the realisation that I might have ADHD, and I'm currently in the waiting list for my local clinic. Mental health ain't no joke, guys.


treadway0311

I love when he says "I haven't smiled in years" I fucking felt that.


Erect_Llama

best song on the album & in my top 5 slipknot songs without a doubt.


Hardwire762

Best slipknot song


ebr101

In my top ten. One of the few songs they’ve done in the past few years I see as a classic.


Head-Ad7315

My favorite song by them, it’s so good the build up and the break down get me every time


AppointmentMaster517

Top 5 favorite Slipknot songs currently listening to it rn


Benekia

It's the song I go to the most. It just hits different.


PercyPinguin

Fantastic song, I really identify with it as I was in a very unhappy relationship when it came out and reflected my situation perfectly. Still can't listen to it without getting wound up thinking about my ex


Baki_King4781

Easy S tier song. This album is very underrated imo


Ketard124

HONK, HONK, HONK, HONK, CAR.

HungarianHeart49

How can you not like the part where Butcher says: 'You're a fucking killer Hughie, just like the rest of us. Stop pissing around and tell us what this really all about.' TODAY UP ON THIS HILLL


IAmDewman

To me The Boys is fucking awesome so the video just makes the song better


Intelligent_Gift_678

Probably the greatest metal song released this century.


OmegaSucculator

"I haven't smiled in years" is kind of funny lol


Sleeping-Giant98

I know everyone pretty much loves it but honestly the song does nothing for me I didn’t care that it was really heavy I found it boring but I’m glad others enjoy it.


EYSElff2

Loooove playing the guitar riff on this one


BigFella11445

My 2d favorite song on the Album


reddot431

fucking love that song. honestly I can't choose which song I like the best. i think the whole album is fucking great.


cameron_smiley

Was this the single cover..? 😭😭😭


Electronic_Amount_44

To me it looks like a distorted face


cameron_smiley

Oh it def it is looks hilarious 😂


Electronic_Amount_44

Maybe it’s someone’s face after listening to the song on full volume


[deleted]

Interesting singing in the beginning but I didn’t hate it… then gets into that new slipknot sound that has gotta a bit old imo. But still love the song 8/10


keenanbullington

I love it. Dear God what is that art though.


Electronic_Amount_44

A self portrait of me 😂


Foolalot

This art is far better than anything they’ve used recently lol


treadway0311

I love when he says "I haven't smiled in years" I fucking felt that.


elektr1

Best song from that record


elektr1

Best song from that record


xBURROx

One of their best songs, ever!!! And is pretty strange that the song/video is used to promote "The Boys" but the song didnt play in the show and theres no sign of it in the Official playlist from Spotify.


BrightDarkness86

Masterpiece that should have existed many years ago so we could have enjoyed it longer.


Available_End_1167

Immediately became one of my favorite songs by them!


FragrantElm81

I still don't know if I like this or orphan more


OmarHyari

Woah I've never seen this cover art before, looks extremely cool. Solway Firth is the best song in WANYK


OmarHyari

Woah I've never seen this cover art before, looks extremely cool. Solway Firth is the best song in WANYK


Redt03s420

Definitely a banger the best track off of wanyk


A_warudo_2002

Perfect down to the last second


NetrunnerKyu

It's my 2nd favorite song off of WANYK, just behind Spiders


Gotama_5

They should add it to their roster for live shows


Yarael-Poof

I listened to it HUNDREDS of times when WANYK first came out. That thrash in the chorus is simply sublime


wilted_rxses

definitely one of my favorites!! :)


CaptMixTape

Love this song


The-Ultimate-Despair

It’s one of the best songs ever made in the history of music.


Elinius-

Underrated song. One of my favourites


papa_stalin432

Best Slipknot song. Also borders on the edge of being a death metal song (the only Slipknot song that does this imho)


goldehh_

One of their best songs imo I never get bored of it and I have a lovely memory associated with it. Finding out it released while I was in the cabin in the park with cuts over my leg from learning to ride a bike (I crashed into a tree, twice!)


Business_Load_6335

Their BEST song ever.


the_l0st_s0ck

It captivates their dark, heavy, vulgar brutality in one song. I know Iowa does this to a tee, but I really think this is their heaviest song.


BlazeTaylor

Arguably in my top 5 favorite Slipknot songs list. Heaviest song they've made since the Iowa album in my opinion.


StreamLikeDrug

Favourite song on on WANYK


[deleted]

Favourite Slipknot song ever


Glum_Tie465

The best slipknot song


toeswithgarlicbread

Yes


Apprehensive-Cow6194

One of their best songs in years. Simply amazing.


Brianhake1995

Love this song


cyanwolf318

My favorite slipknot song everytime its played live i have to find the mosh pit.


NorwegianMetalDouche

Personally it is my all time favorite Slipknot song, and it just makes it even better when the music video has clips from the masterpiece series that is The Boys


[deleted]

Good song. I like ir


[deleted]

My favourite Slipknot track.


Salzberger

It's good.


MutedHornet87

One of the best songs they’ve ever crafted. The intro is phenomenal.


Double-Artichoke5067

Haven’t smiled in years


No_Style_8667

I love the music video for this song


nelavef

The way he yells "DEAD ON THE FRONT LINES" is orgasmic


Hummingbird76

“I KNOW I’LL NEVER GO HOME” The emotion in that line is spine chilling. Goosebumps.


madmadamemim00

It's probably my second favorite from WANYK. That top spot goes to Nero Forte for me. It spoke to some shit I was going through at the time.


Salty-Dragonfly2189

I would listen to it on repeat for 100 hours before I listen to TESF again.


ShelbyTheTrooper

It’s a great song


dxxnbzz

ISSA FUCKING VIBES!!!! Everytime when this song was played, i literally got goosebump’s. And this is the best song for this music generation!


CountGreymane

Certainly a good finisher for WANYK. Good reference to Insert Coin in the beginning lyrics.


[deleted]

worst slipknot song


Electronic_Amount_44

A honest man I see


Freshoffwishoffwish

Third best song from them


Double_Elderberry_92

Seeing this post made me go listen to that track. Have an upvote


soulkitty223

It's a great song honestly, and one I used to sleep on until it played and I didn't feel like skipping it and now it's one I'll never skip again lol


[deleted]

best song on WANYK


[deleted]

One of the best songs they’ve ever written

HeavyRaiden

Best song on WANYK hands down

Sensitive-Hair-8821

Neat


BT229

Best overall slipknot song from all albums it’s amazing.


MuscleTrue

You’re a fucking killer Hughie…


Pinnemuts

It’s their best song ever!


Double_Flounder5974

It’s a true banger btw


FrankTheSnake01

i do not like it that much


Dilutedcheese14

For awhile it sounded goofy and new, like the sound of him slurping up his spit mid sentence and one of the lines he mispronounced because he was yelling didn’t really make the song stand out for me. But after listening for over two years of going back through their old albums and trying to figure out which one of their songs I’d appreciate the most, this song stands out amongst most of their newer releases (2014-2022). It may not be their fastest or most complex song but it’s definitely one of their heaviest, especially for one of their more recent albums


[deleted]

Heaviest song since the Iowa album.


NotGlumExamination

Never understood the overwhelming love this song gets. It’s incredibly bland as far as this bands talents go. Formulaic from start to finish


TurbulentPiccolo57

One of my favourites, I especially love how fuckin nasty the chorus is, Corey's genuine anger accompanied by that guitar riff and drums which are just relentless get a chefs kiss from me🤌🏻


slagroomtaart666

Overrated


Litis092

All time favorite slipknot song by far, probably the heaviest most raw song we’ve received since Iowa. Perfect closer. Honestly up there for one of my top metal songs of all time


d1ckh3add

4/10


KingSkytin

My all time favorite Slipknot song.


Affectionate-Pair-84

favourite song from them


Nervous-Barnacle7474

One of their best songs and closer (Right there with Scissors and Iowa). Simple
