Slipknot - Slipknot

ok, I know chen and like 1 other person will read this, but whatever. I decided to write a big long piece on why I like this album so much. tl;dr/lots of too long sentences below.

PS

Ooh I hate Nardwar. His interview with Wesley Willis just pissed me right off.

I remember the 1st time i heard this album, I was in late high school, and in a metal band. The intro, then into the 1st song just made me So brutal. They haven't topped that moment for me, and I don't expect them to, but yes, that 1st album is a metal classic.

i like their masks.

I'm partial to 'Iowa' myself. But yeah. Nice album. I'll have to listen to it again sometime soon and see how well it's aged.

yeah, I haven't heard it in probably 10 years. Mayhap I'll check it out.

Never paid money to see this band but seen them live countless times over the years, due to being on a lot of festival line-ups and supporting Slayer. Though I don't really care much for them I reckon they do put on a good gig. Always more than happy to chill out and have a few beers and watch the spectacle unfold. It's sort of great entertainment and quite funny. I know scarier geezers who drink down my local boozer though.

They can make some awesome tunes, can't say I like everything on all the albums but some of it is absolutely stonking.

I like Slipknot, if you pay attention to the lyrics they're better than most metal bands

no facepalms in this thread yet?

suppose i'll start

my opinion is better than your opinion

I used to love Slipknot , back when i was an angry 13-year-old with male-menstruation problems and the dick the size if a Cheetos (and could not fuck any decent pussy).

Tbh I was hugely into them in my earlier music days. Them, Korn and Limp Bizkit were among the first bands I ever electively listened to.

Slipknot has some serious rhythm going on in their insane rageful vocals, and they play around with alot of interesting melodic stuff in the background. I would say the entire Nu-Metal genre is to regular metal as IDM is to regular electronic music.

Korn and Limp Bizkit had better atmosphere going for the most part though.

Although... Scissors was a really good track, and they have done a few tracks that almost cross the line into IDM territory.

So IDM is aesthetically- and artistically bankrupt prepackaged teen angst for the mall-going masses?

Volume 3: The Subliminal Verses is their best album.

The last one had too many Nickleback songs and the first two are too whiny now.

Slipknot's first 2 albums were fucking badass!

They were a really talented band.
