Slipknot Won't Rush New Album

Slipknot's new album, scheduled for release early next year, has neither a title nor a definite release date yet. "If you rush something it's going to sound rushed," frontman Corey Taylor tells RollingStone.com, dismissing the long break between Slipknot records. "There's no way we're putting something out without everyone being 100 percent sure, including Rick. He knows that if you push an artist, all that's going to do is block him. The kids have been there since day one, and they know if it's taking us a while, it's because we want to make sure we've got the best product that we can. Our kids deserve nothing fu**ing less than that, and I refuse to give them anything less."
