Pros: I dig the chance-taking with the slower material.
Cons: A few weak tracks; overall lacking some energy
Summary: On what could possibly be their last album, Slipknot has branched out from their usual full-throttle metal assault and added in some softer, more melodic songs. While still containing much hard hitting, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) shows ...

Cons: the guitar production is bad, Coreys new scream isn't really good, "welcome" is horrible
Summary: Before I begin my review I want to say sorry its been so long since I last wrote a review I have been so busy with other things. Anyway on to my review Slipknot, the 9 man masked monster from Des Moines, Iowa, in the past 5 years have managed to bring ...

Pros: Coreys voice, great clean singing and his screams are more controled than other albums.
Cons: I didn't like Opium of the people. That's because I hate high pitched guitars.

Pros: Awesome vocals by Taylor. The percussionists lead the musical factor ably.
Cons: The Virus of Life
Summary: This is the year where hope fails you. The test subjects run the experiment. And the bastard you know is the hero you hate. But cohesing is possible if we try. There’s no reason. There’s no lesson. No time like the present. Tell me right ...

Pros: Vocals, Vocals, Vocals...very experimental, with great acoustic songs to boot
Cons: Drums frighteningly muted in comparison with Iowa and self-titled, with pointless final two tracks
Summary: With an overall audial evolution more shocking than Carnie Wilson post-gastro, Slipknot's fourth album (Most likely titled "Vol. 3" to note the number of albums featuring frontman Corey Taylor) boasts a rather stunning display of the Iowa-born ...

Pros: A generally effective blend of metal and acoustic recordings.
Cons: Whoa, some really weak songs.
Summary: I’m genuinely surprised with Slipknot’s latest offering, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses). While its hardly one of metal’s all-time greatest albums, I was routinely bowled over by the band’s new found commitment to injecting a strong sense of ...

Pros: Wonderfully crafted songs, but still with the brutality of Slipknot
Cons: "Don't Get Close" wasn't on the album; the people who will knock the album down
Summary: This is the way Slipknot should have always sounded, and hopefully, the way they will sound from now on. With two previous efforts under their belts, plus numerous side projects, the nine-man monster that have rampaged the world with their blend ...

Pros: -see review
Cons: -see review
Summary: Slipknot's combination of grinding neo-shock rock helped them become a very popular band amidst the explosion of nu-metal in the late 90's. They seemed to be getting even more attention due to identical industrial jump suits and spooky homemade masks ...

Pros: - Amazing track variation
- Great instrumentals and vocals
- "Duality" and "The Nameless"
Cons: - Not as heavy as you would expect
- Some filler tracks
Summary: Slipknot, no doubt a name that has been etched into the brains of many a teenage white male, fan or foe of the band themselves. Slipknot have no doubt made a mark on the music scene in general, with their excessive amount of band members, supposedly ...

Pros: Some good songs, nice riff driven guitars, excellent drumming in places.
Cons: A few duds, the aucoustic songs dont work so well, A lot of the vocals.
Summary: When I first heard there was to be a follow-up third album to Slipknots terrible mess of an album ‘IOWA’, I thought ‘Oh no not another review where I end up writing ‘pretentious’ ‘rubbish’ and ‘an insult to metal’ over and over again. But in my ...

Pros: A well-rounded album
Cons: a few weak tracks
Summary: I'll just admit it right now: I like Slipknot. I've rather grown to dislike the delusions of self-aggrandizing philosophical and personal grandeur that burden the music of groups such as Tool and Evanescence, and with Slipknot, I appreciate the band's ...

Pros: Much improved guitar work, every track is unique and great in its own way
Cons: Sounds hollow, but then again, it was recorded in a house...
Summary: For those of you expecting another "Iowa" or another self-titled type release from the Iowa 9-piece band Slipknot, you're going to be in for a big surprise. The lyrics are clean, the vocals are calmer, the guitarists shred, there are acoustic songs, ...

Pros: A most surprising change for the better marks the sound on this disc.
Cons: It seems as though the track sequencing is a little "off" - or is it?
Summary: Okay, we're at the point now in the history of music where we need to have another musical icon come along, to signify what's happening today, and though this may be a far stretch, I wonder if Slipknot might fill that position. They've been around for ...

Pros: Package, booklet, quantity, variety, vocals, musicians, "Duality", "maggots"

Pros: "Duality" and "Vermilion, Pt. 2" aren't bad...
Cons: ...but most of the rest is.
Summary: After two successful but somewhat repetitive and simplistic albums, Slipknot was poised to release a third disc, whose results would be a guess to just about anyone. Rumors abounded that the band was recording only to fulfill their label contract, and ...
