This might be their most underrated song. It's fantastic.

Matthew Gomez and ..the one who kills the least

Gemaria, AOV, The Nameless, The One Who Kills the Least, The Shape, and All Hope is Gone have to be the most underrated songs. Along with Welcome, Scream, and The Virus of Life.

Idk what it is, this is not my favorite Slipknot song, but...and hear me out here...I think this song may actually be perfect. It has everything a great Slipknot song needs to have, it's catchy, it's brutal, it's got amazing riffs and a fantastic solo and breakdown. I honestly can't find a single flaw in the song, not even the length! I don't know what it is, but this song is fucking revolutionary yet overlooked...I have no clue why.

[@rodreese7898]

You want to know what it is about this song, well it's just a damn great song!!! Nothing need more to be said!!!

[@barniyamum]

because of the title *'Gematria'* it is geometry within language and its mainly a secret. used by secret societies etc... (a=1, b=2,....z=26; u just take the values of the letters and add them together...very simple) Gematria=74; English=74; Masonic=74; Jewish=74; Occult=74; ... Killing=74; Messiah=74; Lucifer=74; Jesus=74; Gospel=74; Cross=74; ... the english language is based in this number system they used the knowledge from old languages like hebrew and greek and combined them with new stuff like german etc... Gematria is part of kabbalah which is practiced by the elites churches masons etc

This is their best song. It really highlights the paradigm of the American Imperial Army from within its own borders through the lost art of screaming in anger. Summed up with "Give me a minute and I'll change your mind. Give me a bullet and I will change your life."

Gematria in Hebrew is turning the written word into it's numerical value. Words with the same numerical value are thought to be the same. For example adding Ariel up gives you a numerical value of 115. The name molek(false God) is also equal to 115 so it is believed they are the same thing. Just transformed Slipknot into it's gematria numerical value and I come up with...379. so what is equal to 379? Disaster is equal to 379 as well.

I know I might get shit for this but I think AHIG is my favorite album from the Knot. It is definitely their most experimental album. As soon as .execute. starts, you can tell the whole thing is going to be a badass. Then Gematria starts and just kicks ass every single time. This album has brutal songs like Gematria, Vendetta, Butcher's Hook, This Cold Black, Wherein Lies Continue, and All Hope Gone. And also has the amazing singles like Sulfur, Psychosocial, Dead Memories, Snuff, and All Hope Is Gone. This album releases my anger every time I listen to it. Thank you, Slipknot.

It's a shame they're never gonna play this song live. Corey recently said in an interview that even though he would like to play this song live, other members hated the way the song was recorded and played. So much so that some of the members were like, "Fuck that! We'll never play this song live!!" He said that unless they open for The Pope, they'll never play that song live due to resentment from other members.

[@bigman6235]

i think that the reason that some people don't like the album is because when they were making this they all were going through hard times with drugs almost breaking up and Paul's death it just reminds people of the hardships of life and they don't like to think of the bad times... or they just don't like the way is sounds

The Broken Puppet because of all the ballads. People thought that Slipknot was selling out to the music industry and becoming soft but it ultimately never happened. Oddly enough Gematria is probably their heaviest song. .5 the Grey Chapter is heavy too.
