• Shawn Crahan, Paul Gray, Nathan Jordison, & Corey Taylor share writing credits on the song.
• According to Joey Jordison (Kerrang! magazine June 21, 2008) 'All Hope is Gone' is a classic style Slipknot track pure and simple, but this f--ker is jacked up a few thousand volts! The song, music and theme speak for itself. It's a song about the world at stake: all the situations at hand, be it personal or worldly, and trying turn things into a positive.'
• According to Corey Taylor (Kerrang! magazine June 21, 2008) 'A lot of people look at this in a very negative way. And in a lot of ways, it is if you continue to try and solve your problems the same way over and over again. That said, this track is also a reflection of what Slipknot is. Just when you thought you had us all figured out, give up all hope because you're never, ever going to.'
