Slipknot Slows the Maggots' Pulses

by PacManY2J PacManY2J is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Music, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 01 '04
Pros: I dig the chance-taking with the slower material.
Cons: A few weak tracks; overall lacking some energy
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 ...

Slipknot’s Vol. 3: Third Time’s The Charm?

by deepthroat101 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 04 '04
Pros: A generally effective blend of metal and acoustic recordings.
Cons: Whoa, some really weak songs.
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 ...

"Discarded! Retarded!" -- that about sums it up

by punkrawka Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 17 '04
Pros: "Duality" and "Vermilion, Pt. 2" aren't bad...
Cons: ...but most of the rest is.
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 ...

The knot begins to loosen up

by jordan_tar , Jun 07 '04
Pros: A well-rounded album
Cons: a few weak tracks
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 ...

Volume 3 - The Subliminal Verses: Slipknot Concocts Their Masterpiece

by wandering_mage , Mar 28 '05
Pros: Awesome vocals by Taylor. The percussionists lead the musical factor ably.
Cons: The Virus of Life
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 ...

Students Of Life? Slipknot?!?!

by EFCrow , May 31 '04
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?
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 ...

Hallowe'en Comes Early In 2004

by midnight_crow , Jun 28 '04
Pros: -see review
Cons: -see review
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 ...

Three strikes and theyre out, but not on a whimper!

by soadfan1 , Jun 13 '04
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.
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 ...

The Notorious Nine-some changes masks again--this time, the music follows suit

by mikeyspeaking , Nov 04 '04
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
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 ...

The Monster Takes On A New Skin

by jakob_187 , Jul 03 '04
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
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 ...

by guerilla85 , Aug 05 '05
Pros: Great singing by Corey as always, terrific drumming and awesome melodies, slipknot is back!!!!!
Cons: the guitar production is bad, Coreys new scream isn't really good, "welcome" is horrible
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 ...

Fusion or confusion, the SK evolution

by bobafeet , May 30 '04
Pros: Package, booklet, quantity, variety, vocals, musicians, "Duality", "maggots"
Cons: No extras off the CD, a bit tiresome.
Slipknot – Vol. 3 {The Subliminal Verses} The Band http://www.slipknot1.com From the late 90’s, in the USA comes a group of nine entertainers wearing crazy, custom horror masks, with a jumping suit. Emerging from the “ ...

More than just screaming

by almighty_shoe , Jun 30 '05
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.
My second review, I don't even know if my first ones been posted yet. Anyway, I was planning to write this a little later on but I just got a new album and it's so good I can't help but do it. Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses). By Slipknot. I for one ...

A Slipknot "concept" album that works!

by stony45 , May 31 '04
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...
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, ...

Just... Wow...

by primera , Jun 27 '04
Pros: - Amazing track variation - Great instrumentals and vocals - "Duality" and "The Nameless"
Cons: - Not as heavy as you would expect - Some filler tracks
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 ...
