glomdi 's review for:
"You cannot place blame on sin for one simple reason: If you blame one, you must blame all. If that is the case, we are all guilty."
"There is no book, there is no script. There is no Godly Guideline."
"You might ask yourself, 'Where the hell is he going with this?'"
Welcome to Seven Deadly Sins, a whole book devoted to Corey Taylor's random ramblings about what he thinks of religion. This book is full of hypocritical and completely ignorant statements, the first two quotes perfect examples of it. And not only is he hypocritical and ignorant, but there is no flow. He even admits at one point that he has no idea what's going to come out of his mouth next. Many times I found myself wondering where he was going with one of his stories. The first few times I figured he would make his point at the end, but most of the time it turned out just to be a pointless story. It's like he was trying to write a biography.
One of the biggest issues I had with this book is how aggressive he was. He didn't try very hard to get his point made(or if he did, he did a terrible job); it was more, "Agree with me or you're a motherf*****." He said that he wanted you to question what he was saying, not just blindly believe him, but at the same time if you didn't believe him, well, screw you!
He also shows how ignorant he is throughout the whole book, saying things like back in the day they rested on the Sabbath, Sunday(the Sabbath used to be Saturday, not Sunday), or with just my first two quotes up there. The "we're all guilty" one is ridiculous. Does he not get how the Bible works? Yes, we are all guilty, that's the point. You can't say it's not a sin just because everyone does it. And saying that there's no guidebook... wow. Ever heard of a thing called the Bible?
I could go on and on, but I fear I'm becoming just as disorganized as Corey Taylor himself is, so I'll end with just about the only good thing in this book: the ending. That random little part with him being all crazy and fictitious and not making any sense? That was awesome. Maybe if Corey Taylor wrote fiction I would read it.
