Throughout the Slipknot fan community, the long lost album "Look Outside Your Window" has been a talk of town for more than a decade now and supporters are patiently waiting for the band to finally release the album.
More recently, frontman Corey Taylor finally shared when the record is dropping and he admitted in a recent interview that it was partly his fault why the project has never seen the light of day; what happened?
In a conversation with NME, the musician, who is also a part of Stone Sour, said he was talking to his bandmate Shawn "Clown" Crahan the other day before his interview and he told him that one of the main reasons why their album was never released was because he keeps putting a lot of projects out that conflicts with "Look Outside Your Window."
"I was like, 'F*** dude, why didn't you tell me?' He says, 'F***, Taylor - you just got too much s***!' It's sounding like he's got a release date that he can finally lock in and I have promised him that I won't release anything that will ruin that," he said.
Taylor then revealed that finally, the album's possible release date would be in 2024, but he didn't give any further details on what month or if they will drop singles prior to the main project itself.

Per the outlet, the album was recorded by former Slipknot member Sid Wilson and his bandmates Jim Root and Shawn Crahan in the mid 2000s, around the same time when they worked on the album "All Hope Is Gone."
As of 2023, the only songs from the album that were able to be released were "'Til We Die" and "All Hope Is Gone."

However, in recent years, fans continue to reflect and ask when the album is coming out, which led to Crahan reveal that it almost got released in Christmas 2019, but they scrapped the idea because their album "We Are Not Your Kind" was also dropping soon.

Elsewhere in the interview, Taylor said he was able to listened to the songs again and for him, it sounds very different.
Regarding, the public perception, the singer said people has an idea of what Slipknot sounds like throughout their career, but this album could possibly change it as their new songs are something that their fans have never heard of before.
"The music is so beautiful, it probably has some of my favourite melodies that I've done, and people are really going to dig it. Clown did a really good job," he added.
