This album is by far the worst slipknot album to date. The album does not try to take a new direction, and all of it sounds like there is no inspiration behind it at all. However there are a few standout songs that show that slipknot are still the kings of nu metal, such as "people = sh**" , "the heretic anthem" and ...  Read the complete review

One of the best metal accomplishiments of all time - Advantages: If you like hard rock and or heavy metal, you would have to be a retard or a poser to say anything negative about this album. From the intro which sounds like it was recorded in a serial killers basement, and the insane drums in people=shit, all the way pass new abortion. The insane talent of the band doesn't stop. - Disadvantages: there are no disadvantages

Slipknot, are a funny bunch of musicians. They dress up in spooky costumes and generally look like a serial killer convention rather than a band. "Iowa" is the bands second album and was described by music critics as; "Sounding like the Beatles White Album played backwards by serial killers in an abbatoir". The band writes ...  Read the complete review

What can i say about Iowa that hasn't already been criticised/boasted about already, the album proved that metal fans are on the ...  Read the complete review

Now I did indeed get my self a copy of this album and that’s why I’m here now reviewing it to tell you about it! This album is different from their second album Slipknot – Slipknot, it is much ...  Read the complete review

This album has to be the most eagerly awaited albums of 2001 the follow up to the mighty self titled album of 1999 – 2000. Now I actually own this album and have listened to it a fair amount, well quite a lot! At the start I though that this album was not that good, but now the caricature of the songs are building on me and I am beginning to ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot – IOWA This album has to be one of the most eagerly awaited albums of this year. Now I have just gone out and bought this album because I’m a huge slipknot fan and I got the silver version (where as the normal one has a white cover this has a shiny silver cover and back) and after listening to it a couple of times I ...  Read the complete review

For years, common perception of the American State of Iowa meant little more than a lot of big fields of wheat. All too long thought of as the epitome of small-town America (until recently, one of its main claims to fame was playing home to none other than Smallville, quiet little hometown of Christopher Reeves' Superman), it was left until ...  Read the complete review

One thing that i haven't understood about the music industry is the large amount of this nu metal sh**e that has appeared. Out go classic rock styles of solos and talent and in come crap guitar and screaming bullshit. But the worst the pinnicle worst of this new music 'revolution' is Slipknot, at least other bands such as ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot now it seems are the quintessential rock band of the new millennium and, have earned themselves a formidable army of rebellious teenagers hell bent on wrecking society, I am happy to say, I am "one of them"! Slipknot's self named debut album was a success and rightly so, arguably bringing about the genre of ...  Read the complete review

Well the Iowa 9 certainly have jumped leaps and bounds since there last album. This album you can tell is much more profesional than their last with harder hitting drum beats and catchy if not strange lyrics e.g. "people make noises when theyre sick" and "if your 555 then i'm 666". It is a 14 track album which starts off in track one of a man ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot's Iowa is anything but a warm tribute to the alternative metal band's birth state: Guitars go off like firing squads; rhythms spit and grind with nightmarish hostility; and gravelled vocals set off a relentless, spleen-venting clamor. Home, it would seem, is not so sweet after all. Recalling the dark protestations of ...  Read the complete review
