Despite the fact Joey Jordison has claimed that work on a new Slipknot album has begun, with the band recording in early 2011, Corey ‘I am the great big mouth’ Taylor has contradicted Joey‘s words, claiming that neither he, or “at least 5 other members” have any plans to work on a new Slipknot album.
“Before anyone gets the wrong idea, let me be clear. I have NO PLANS to make a new Slipknot album anytime soon,” said Taylor. “Shows? Maybe. Album? No. As for Joey’s comments, he took that on himself to say that in print. I can think of five people in this band who haven’t written/heard a thing.”

I seem to remember the same nonesense happening before recording both Vol 3 and All Hope is Gone though. In fact, it always seems to be Joey that’s psyched to start work on new Slipknot albums, but Corey is always too busy singing soppy ballads and being a pop star.
