After listening to Slipknots Limited
Edition Digi-pack, which includes all of the tracks on the bands 1999 debut
release, plus six tracks previously unavailable in the U.S., including
live tracks, remixes, and some very heavy European B-sides, you may want
to go out and terrorize your local bible study group. All humor aside;
these nine Iowa native musicians crank out plenty of high octane in your
face Ultra-Violence on this disk. The onslaught starts off with the
help of famed producer Ross Robinsons killer studio expertise, making
this CD most definitely one of the hardest releases from the nu-metal
batch of bands.
Combining down-tuned guitars with intricate
blast beats and mixed vocals ranging from hardcore to somewhat melodic
overtones makes this CD worth checking out. I felt that tracks like
SIC, Surfacing and Diluted offer mixed styles of hard hitting grind-core
like, groove laden rhythms with plenty of dance parts for all you pit warriors.
The CDs music has an intensity that would be justified by having equally
intense lyrics that would make the band even more dimensional. Hopefully
for future efforts they will be able to mature as songwriters to compliment
their ferocious sound.
I personally do not like some of these
other new bands out now trying to combine rap/metal or whatever that nu-metal
shit is. Out of those ashes, Slipknot have my admiration due to the
fact they can truly pull off aggressive music and mix in other styles that
sound unlike other bands. This CD rocks, and if you new-school kids
want to hear some heavy bands that have paved the way for bands like Slipknot,
I recommend Carcass or Napalm Death for your grind-core fix.

For anyone who wants to know.Cradle of Filth f***ing suck.i would rather listen to something i can understand, than to something that sounds like someone grabbed the lead singers balls and won't let go.

another thing to all who may be concerened enough to read.No band ever assoiciates themselves in a category.it is more or less they are put in one by many people.some may say they are "nu" metal, metal, hard rock, death metal,morbid rock, or grindcore i guess. For one thing "nu" metal does not exist."nu" metal is nothing more than regular metal.just more modern.they are not death metal.they have one song that is satonic. ONE SONG. that's it.no more.they are not morbid either.and they are not grindcore.just because someone says they are, doesn't mean they actually said they were. they are just metal.that's it.nothing else.

Dwarf Preist.1. you are a hypocrite.2.you are probably only 11 years old. 3. no one said anything about racism (or rassism. i guess that your vocabulary there) the reason you are a hypocrite is that you say that people have their opinions and that can feel whatever they want about them so everyone needs to shut up.then you go and say you don't really like them. that right there i guess makes you bad right? hahah.you kill me

Posted by superlevel:
i wasn't really into metal at all (i used to listen to pop music) simple because that was popular at the time but as soon as i heard this cd i completly changed...i loved it. this is one of the best cds i own and anyone who doesn't have it should buy it. and i dont care what you people say, slipknot is talented, you go out and play like that and THEN say they arn't talented.
Posted by dwarf priest:
what the * are u guys talking about? does it really matter what slipknot does? i thougt that music is a way u can express yourself and that's personal! and everybody is different! Some weirdo's can express themself with slipknots roarape music, so they don't harm the society with other expressions like real violence! So * u guys, i think u are a childess bunch a rassists who doesn't care about others feilings! btw i don't like slipknot at all, but i don't care. I think some guys really need them...

Posted by Godhatesusall911:
I love Slipknot, but to say they are better than Slayer is just ridiculous they have twice as many band members with half the music.Pantera is good but not Slayer also.

Posted by Jur:
Just because you don't like them it makes them bad musicians...go and listen good and then try and play it..the don't only use powerchords..like punkbands guitarist are that good???
Posted by Surfpunker:
Slipknot is a really new style indeed, CrapMetal. Every child can put his guitar in drop C and than smash the hell out of it. They've got stupid lyrics, but who cares? You can't even hear them anyway. Stone sour is way much better. Why should Coray Taylor scream if he can sing. They are really like a pop band, but only it's noisy pop
Posted by Evil Trent:
The best album of all time but my cd doesn't have songs 15-20
Posted by PrincipleOfEvil:
Tell me, if Slipknot is so talented, why don't they use said talent? The guitarists don't seem to understand that a guitar can play more than power chords, the drummer can't even play at a sub-Metal speed without the assistance of two "custom percussionists", and the lyrics seem to be written by a 13-year-old mad at his parents for getting divorced, kids at school for making fun of him, and the rest of the world for looking at him funny. Not to mention a 13-year-old boy who pretends to be Satanic in order to come off as "evil" to their idiot fans, who obviously can't see through the laughably transparent veil.

Posted by Ez3kieL:
Slipknot are definitely a talented band that put all their hatred and energy into the quality of their music which somewhat makes them unique. Buts whats with this "Devil 666" Shνt? Are they part of some sort of evil religious cult or they just Like associating themselves with demonic trademarks???

Posted by Headbanger :
pleeassee SLIPKNOT is the best band ever, you cant compare slipknot to Pantera!!!! 666
Posted by Slipknot loves your mama:
I personally love Slipknot and I am curious as to how many of you bastards that whine about how their guitarists suck or whatever actually play guitar because I do and they are not talentless. And another thing, I love Slayer too but this is a review about Slipknot(or their album, whatever)so lets leave the Slayer remarks in the Slayer review. Farewell all, see ya in hell.

I think that Slipknot is a very exceptionally talented band, but the thing is these people here are comparing them to Slayer and Pantera which are 3 TOTALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC! And for all you fans of Bands like Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, and Napalm Death WTF would you wanna listen to music you cant understand

Slipknot was alot better and alot harder before corey Taylor but what can you say when every band starts getting money they start losing talent and stop caring. we need more bands like canibal corpse and 6 feet under, cradle of filth And a kick ass local band called SWIFT! you guys rock!

Posted by Ef you all.:
How can you even take Slipknot seriously? There are at least four members of the band who don't even do anything. They just bang on oil drums and look "demonic." For all you posers who want to argue that Slipknot has any talent at all, try listening to their music instead of listening to all of your friends. Slipknot is pure propaganda aimed at stupid kids angry at their parents and the popular kids who they're not cool enough to be in the first place (probably because they like bands like Slipknot) They only way that Slipknot does contain any talent is if by chance one of the NINE band members played the flute in elementary school.
Posted by Panteragrrl:
slipknot its not all ok what about pantera,static-x,godsmack,slayer,hatebreed,six feet under , this bands really RULE!
Posted by revolut:
You all suck. you can't compare Slipknot to other bands. This is a new stile off metal and you don΄t see it. It's not nu metal but I call it (sic)metal and i belive you all agree with me in this. It's all about the sickness. You all stare but you'll never see there is something inside me.
Posted by dreds:
I love the review but I am having a hard time trying to prove to people that Slipknots music does make sense and no matter how many diff. interpretations i get they just don't beleive in such a rockin band making sense while they are chilling and listening to some rapper rap about false dreams.
Posted by OpIvy Boy:
I dont really like metal. This CD isn't much of a change. They rely very much on shock value, and there music is very aggressive, almost to the point osf stupidity and to many people prolly just sounds like growling and shouting over a bunch of hand-fisted powercords and hits on the snare drum, which it is. But i was surprised by how deep some of the lyrics were. As far as metal goes, i give this CD a hearty thumbs up. Although i really don't like metal...
Posted by Canadas # 1 slipknot FAN!:
i picked up the cd and at this time i like pop music so i but it back 6 months later i pick up the cd and bye it greatest songs every like eyeless
Posted by some strange anarchist person:
two words. SLIPKNOT RULE. whatever u antislipknot people say. slipknot rule and will always be there for you to hate. I think this album is better than their latest iowa 1
Posted by Casper:
This CD is magic, if you dont like Slipknot then why did you read this review....Slipknot are a truely talented band....SPIT IT OUT!
Posted by Anti-Rapper:
And if people thnk Snotlip has talent they dont! check ot their music tabs for guitar, wtf is open-one-open-one, my 7 year old cousin can play that stuff, the only peron that is halfway talented in that band is the drummer, but he also sucks compared to slayers, canibalcorpse drums.
Posted by Anti-rapper:
Slipknot suck, new metal with rap in it just sucks. The REAL are bands likeSlayer, Cannial Corpse, Six Feet Under, and others that know how to bust outlong ass solos.
Posted by southern psychonaut:
this band slipknot is a joke. the drummer of morbid angel smokes anything their drum machine could do. the singer cannot sing or scream...
Posted by southern psychonaut:
listen up you children who think ago! scream right.ha!you call that heavy
Posted by THE BLACK METAL WARRIOR:
To the inferior known as the "Metal Freak," EMPEROR is the best of the best of ALL METAL BANDS, don't embarrass yourself anymore little one!
Posted by THE BLACK METAL WARRIOR:
Slipknot and all that "nu-metal" sh!t is just an inferior form of music called "rock." It is just out there to impress little high school girls who have nothing better to do but feel sad and watch MTV. This form of "music" is just a trend. In the end the TRUE METAL WARRIORS smash down these weak and inferior little people, they should just play in the sand box and keep quiet, lest we slap them down.
