.5: The Gray Chapter is the fifth studio album by Slipknot, released in October 17, 2014.The album was released after an indefinite hiatus where the fate of the band was put into question. This was due to internal conflicts between various members as well as the death of bassist Paul Gray and departure of drummer Joey Jordison, two members integral to the band's sound.The bass and drums on the album were filled in either by the members of Slipknot or Alessandro Venturella and Jay Weinberg respectively, both of which became official members of the band later. The album's title is a Due to the Dead to Gray himself, and several songs on the album pay tribute to his memory.Compositionally, the album is essentially a fusion of Iowa and Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses). In other words, it combines the more chaotic stylings of the former (ex: prominent scratching, electronic sounds, borderline-rapped vocals) with the more melodic stylings of the latter (ex: traditional song structures, grooves, guitar solos).The album debuted at #1 in their native United States, as well as Japan, Canada, Australia, Russia, and Switzerland. It also made the Top 5 of United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland, Austria, New Zealand, Mexico, Denmark and Finland. | |

Say My Name: Not a dramatic one, but in the Vanilla Edition of the album the last thing you hear is a distorted "Paul". | |

New Sound Album | |
| .5: The Gray Chapter (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: An interesting variation in that it's basically the fusion of two old sounds: the mostly heavy Iowa and the experimental Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), creating something that's familiar yet refreshing as a result. | |

Miniscule Rocking: In contrast to the other songs, "Be Prepared for Hell" lasts just under two minutes. | |

Cluster F-Bomb: While most songs favor either Precision F-Strike or no swearing at all, "Custer" features this in the chorus. | |

| .5: The Gray Chapter (Music) / int_a679184b | comment |
Due to the Dead: Several songs pay tribute to the aforementioned late bassist Paul Gray, such as "XIX", "Skeptic", "Goodbye", and "If Rain Is What You Want". The title of the album itself is also a reference to him. | |

Take That! | |
| .5: The Gray Chapter (Music) / int_b53077b3 | comment |
Take That!: Initially people believed "The Negative One" to be this to Joey Jordison, but "Lech" is a clearer example. Averted when you consider that Joey left the band because of health issues more than anything else. | |

Drugs Are Bad | |
| .5: The Gray Chapter (Music) / int_de7b7cbf | comment |
Drugs Are Bad: "Killpop" is about a girl who resorts to using drugs, likely as a result of a bad relationship. "Skeptic" follows suit with Taylor talking about the promises to "keep our systems clean" in the bridge. | |

Everything Is an Instrument | |
| .5: The Gray Chapter (Music) / int_e144beb6 | comment |
Everything Is an Instrument: As usual, beer kegs and baseball bats are among the instruments for this album. Also, turntable scratches are featured almost as prominently as the lead guitar, and sometimes Sid gets a "DJ solo" of his own in the place of a guitar solo. | |
