Slipknot - Slipknot Reviews

Slipknot get way too much hate for their music not being "true metal". It may not be strictly 'classic' metal, but it is some of the best nu metal you will find, with tracks like 'Eeyore' and 'Prosthetics' showing a very unique style of metal. The music is very raw and revealing, with the writers having some very personal ...  Read the complete review

Hailing from Des Moines, Iowa, Slipknot first hit the scene with their E.P 'Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat. This was met with reasonable success in the local scene in Des Moines but not much further afield than that. Corey Taylor, inititally with anoth local band 'Stone Sour' was not in Slipknot at the time. In fact the current nine piece ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot may be classed as music for angsty teens, but I'm in my 20s and this type of music appeals massively to me. I don't know if it's down to the growling vocals, the fast frantic pacing of the guitars, the heavy sounding style or the 'F$%K YOU' attitude the band has, but there's definitely a pull to their music. 1 or 2 ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot aren't a band that exactly have a particularly strong reputation in the music world - they're so often dismissed as profane, incomprehensible and without a shred of musical talent. Whilst I for one am not a huge fan of the screaming/shouting style of singing, I admire their guitar work and amazing drums more than anything, and ...  Read the complete review

Buying this album changed my musical taste forever. Slipknot were like nothing i'd ever seen or heard. But because they were so different and so intimidating, I had to buy their album, and I have to say it is still one of my most cherished CD's. The beginning of the nu metal wave brought along Slipknot, but they were a bit ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot - a band of regional artists coming together to create what would be described as extreme emotions mixed with anger, death, revenge and complete turmoil. When I first discovered slipknot, it was through a show on VH1 known as the friday rock show hosted by the late tommy vance. It was believed then that slipknot was ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot's first album was a huge international success for the Iowa-based heavy rock nine. Their jumpsuit/mask image captured the imaginations of many young people who went on to buy the album, but it's not even too impressive. Everything is fast, loud and heavier than it needs to be, with vocals leaning to either shouty and ...  Read the complete review

The first thing that popped into my head when I listened to Slipknot for the first time was s**t!(In a good way of course). Their self titled debut album is one of the best albums I own as well as one of the cheapest(10 quid). And is definitely original(How many metal bands do you know with nine member?). And there is a tremendous ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot the self-titled album by the contraversiol and extremley popular metal group has sold thousands and thousands of copies and I have to say that I bought the album a few weeks after the original release and I was amazed. The pure skill of the drummers, the way Corey (the lead singer) can use different tones and can transform a ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot are a very contraversial band. They are sometimes found intimidating by people because of their appearence, in particular their wierd masks. Slipknots album is not very good, the lyrics are trash, the music makes no taste and really it is just trash. Heavy Metal is just shouting with random guitar chords. Do not buy ...  Read the complete review

Slipknot's cd is turd. Have you ever heard such a pile of nonsense coming out of a man's mouth! The whole CD is just one man screaming down a microphone and shouting obsenities! Having heard Wait and Bleed I thought Slipknot were okay, and went to purchase their CD. When I arrived home, and put it in, the first ...  Read the complete review
