CD Reviews

To all the people that wrote one star reviews for this album

"Now I am not only here to write a review on this album but also to say a few things to the people who write one & two stars review for this album, now everybody is alowed there own opinion obviously, but i'm just going to view my side, somebody who wrote a 1 star review for this album said slipknot sounds like theres only two guys in the band instead of 9, That is a bit dramatized but also true sometimes it sounds like there is maybe 4 guys in the band instead of 9,and i think james(A.K.A. number 4) & mick(a.k.a number 7) aren't the next kirk hammet(metallica) & kerry king(slayer) but there pretty good, the DJ sid (a.k.a number 0) gives the band a bad wrap for a lame reason somebody who doesn't listen to slipknot says wow look they have a dj there rap/rock posers like linkin park & limp bizkit! this couldn't be more from the truth theres very few rap influences on this album other then maybe spit it out & liberate.Craig (a.k.a number 5) really i see no purpose in the band for him you can barely hear his work on this album other then maybe eyeless and tattered & torn. Now the bassist paul is probably my least favorite member he isn't the greatest bassist and i can barely hear his bass period and they even said KoRn was a big influence on them but then paul burns a picture of them on stage. Now i wish the two percussionist chris (a.k.a number 3) & Shawn B.k.a clown ( or number 6) had more involvment in this album there great when you hear them but you don't hear them that much. Now the drummer joey (a.k.a number 1) is an awesome drummer one of the best in there genre. Now the final member vocals corey talor (a.k.a number 8) either you love his vocals or you hate them and personally i lvoe his vocal style. and a reviewer who gave this album 1 star or was rating what he thought was "commercial" music in a listamania said he heard wait & bleed on mtv every two minutes but i have a question for him, if you like metal why are you watching mtv " every two minutes?" Now here's my review on the album01742617000027 - 4/5 AN ORIGINAL opening the title of it comes from the bar code on there ep release " mate, feed kill,& repeat" and the people on this song saying " the whole thing i think is sick" over & over are talking about a charles Manson documentary Sic - 4/5 Good song, Corey taylor's lyric's are just very angry and i find them some what inspireing.eyeless - 3.5 a good song but after a while gets annoying, and also the chorus going " you can't see california wihtout marlon brando's eyes" is from when the guys from slipknot were in ny signing there contract some crazy man ran down the street screaming " you can't see california without marlon brandon's eyes"Wait & bleed - 5/5 great choice for a single love the fact that corey sings in this one, and why would mtv play this song its to 'hard" for mtv's viewers and mtv won't play anthing controversial or that won't give them anymore money.Surfacing - 5/5 another awesome track that will kick your ass and leave you wanting more. The chorus makes me feel like i can get up and kick the world's ass.Spit it out - 4.5/5 the 2nd single that was BANNED from mtv very good a little rap vocals but just a very littleTattered & torn - 4/5 an odd & short song but i like it you can actually hear what craig is doing in this song.Me inside - 2.5/5 the only song that i don't care for this song replaced purity which was on the original version. and "me inside was actually only an extra on the digipack version of this album, purity is tons betterLiberate - 10/5 awesome song great lyrics & vocal style one of the bestProsthetics - 4.5/5 another very good song i love the intro to it.no life - 4/5 - vocals could be a bit better and so could the lyrics but joey's drums kick ass in this onediluted - 5/5 a very sad song (to me) you can feel Corey's pain in this one. another favorite Only one- 3.5/ good but its over to quicklyScissors - 15/5 My favorite track off this album an amazing 8 + minute ballad amazing sometimes its a heavy kick your ass song the next minute ts a slow & sad song. amazingAll in all this is a great major label debut & if you are considering bying this album by all means do so, not many of the 1 star voters actually sit & listen to the whole album (i'm not saying all don't) and before i end this i'd like to say this somebody said corey take's his vocals from the lead singer of mudvayne(another good band) but didn't mudvayne's 1st album get released a year after slipknot's debut was released? (which was produced by clown) and why are all the people who call themselves "actuall metalheads" ( and i think i am one) judging slipknot and trying to categorize them? isn't that what mtv & the maisntream do? Well in conclusion this a great album and i recommend it. I hope this review could help you. Stay (sic) maggots."
What happened to the first version of this CD?

"Well, first,let me tell you, I usually dislike hard(core) musci like this,but i had heard pretty good things about this band..so i decided to give it a try.The minute (Sic) started playing....I WAS BLOWN AWAY! This album is pure madness,without being just repetitive annoying screaming. The lyrics are deep and hard,and the Corey's voice is astonishing, he can switch from Screaming to singing in fractions of a second... But my complaint is, I bought this album in August 1999,and buy then, this album inluded an amazing song called PURITY and it did NOT have "Me Inside", and it didn't have the slipknot logo at the top either....and it had 15 songs, plus 2 or 3 hidden ones. I bought both albums now, and i can honestly tell you the first version is a LOT better, don't get me wrong, Me inside is a good song, but it is NOTHING compared to the brilliant PURITY. Well,all in all, this band is not for everyone, but if you like hard music (this is not metal), deep lyrics, great guitar playing and an amazing singer.....then this is a safe bet."
Aggresive but real

"Slipknot is, well, they are real. These 9 guys from Iowa are as scarry or as real as they can get. I don't mean their disturbingly creepy/cool masks, I mean their music. The lyrics that the absolutely amazing vocalist Corey Taylor('8' as his band ID suggests) sings out from behind that mask only make sense in this truly diluted world. With every single word the listener can hear his pain. In 'Scissors' he goes into a sort of trance of insanity where he seems to cry and laugh maniacly at the same time while singing "life,time" over and over again. With every single one of those we feel like he is really hurting. And this is something only a few bands can do (or have done in case of KoRn-they still have a chance people! ). The two percussionists 6-Shawn and 3-Chris are absolutely amazing and original. Same with 1-Joey. Every member of this incredible band is 101 percent with the music, everyone knows their instrument. They even have 0-Sid, a DJ who kicks some major MTV DJ Scribble ass. Now how often do you see that in a metal band. The tag team of guitars coming out of 4-James and 7-Mick are really vivid and it really shows that these guys are on their game. Let's not forget the pig masked 2-Paul and 5-Craig. Paul makes some nice sounds come out of his piece and Craig does an incredible job of putting out some creepy sounds. This band is definetly original and the sound they bring out makes you want to go truly nuts. My favorite songs on this CD are the ones where Corey actually sings and the way he can switch between the screaming out loud death sound to a pain filled melody is incredible. This would be 'Wait and Bleed, Me Inside, Prosthetics, Dilutedm, and Scissors.'. But the CD's best is Me Inside. And while you listen to Scissors and actually let the track run, you will find a sickeningly hilarious recording which will make you laugh and realize that these guys are just liek everyone else. They are human. Final words, Slipknot's music shines in today's too much misuderstood world. These guys are real and the lyrics that come out of Corey's mouth are real. It might be hard to get used to but if you listen to it with an open mind, you will quickly realize you are listening to truly amazing music. This should be 10 stars but unfortunately I can only give 5. This is a really meaningful album. Slipknot is here to stay for a while, you can be sure abbout that."
