I like Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses). Good album. And just a few songs from their earlier albums.

They fell off the planet for me after Iowa... That Vol. 3 crap was garbage, and they pretty much developed into the same trendy band followed by mallrats around the world that they preached against when they first came out...

This last album was better than Vol. 3, but still not all that great...

I prefer my metal to take talented musicians... not gimmicky stuff that tends to run it's course...

Corey will always be one of my favorite hard style vocalists... and Joey Jordison is one of the best drummers ever... but I can't really say too much about the other guys... Mick and Jim are okay, but I lean more towards technical guitarists...

I've met Jim and took my picture with him way back in the day... back when they still tried to hide their faces... He was a super cool dude, and I wish nothing but the best for Slipknot (not like they haven't dominated the late teen circuit already)...

Really? I found Vol. 3 to be really good. It was fairly melodic with awesome riffs, the singing was really good, and the drumming was amazing. And it was mixed pretty well. Their other albums didn't even compare IMO. They sounded messy and all over the place.

And yes, I agree. Dream Theater ftw. Though their last two albums I didn't care too much for.

Iowa was their peak for me... very well produced album, and originality still in the songs...

Vol 3. didn't even have any cursing in it, and was catered to the emo kids that were gravitating towards their fanbase...

It was a smart thing from a business/marketing standpoint, but nothing will ever top songs like People = poo, Heretic Anthem, or even stuff like (sic) off the original album...

The original album was produced in a way that made it sound raw and chaotic... If I am not mistaken, it was Ross Robinson who produced that one, and he has some good stuff under his belt...

Yes, the fat ugly kids... if I remember Fred Durst's statement correctly..

This guy

From wikipedia

After Durst referred to Slipknot's fans as "fat ugly kids", Shawn Crahan, one of Slipknot's percussionists, threatened violence against him if he criticized their fans again, and Slipknot lead singer Corey Taylor later said in an interview with MuchMusic that he saw Durst as a great businessman, but not as an artist. In a 2001 post on Limp Bizkit's website, Durst disputed the perceived ill will against Slipknot. He was quoted as writing, "We really like Slipknot and are very happy that they hate us, because it makes their music heavier, angrier and real!"[12] This quote angered Chris Fehn, one of Slipknot's other percussionists. Fehn later described Durst as being "...scared of us [slipknot]"

I agree. Vol.3 had a few respectable tracks, but too commercialized for what they did with Iowa.

    • So you can explain how he was top 10....but won't.  We need to look it up ourselves?  I googled it.  Can't find the argument based on stats and facts. 
    • Well, I think Nike has it all down to a sweet mathematical science to max revenue of what they average person will buy in terms of price....and what the average person will do with a dirty jersey.   Then they construct them accordingly.   and yeah, it's not about being tackled in them but I'm sure Nike knows exactly how each tier will react to washings...and then sunlight, heat, fading and on and on.    Just asking google about it there are tons of tiktoks, you tubes, reddit posts, etc with folks complaining about what a simple wash can do to a new one.    Your washing machine gets cooler tech....so you pay more now and it doesn't last as long .  My son's football cleats that help max speed got a hole in them before they even made it into the season this past year.     Now our football jersey's are lightweight with new mesh because it's totally better.....the end game is always because the big corporations have found the synergy between new and improved and not lasting as long.  That's my take.  I think everything is made to wear out sooner under the guise of but it's better today.
