The Shape and Gently are the standouts for me here. They rarely get any recognition though which is a shame.

I'm gonna fuck you... softly
I'm gonna screw you gently
I'm gonna hump you sweetly
I'm gonna ball you discreetly
Sorry, but your comment immediately made me think of the Tenacious D song, lol

It goes harder that the subliminal verses 3, but I wish the slow songs were a bit more infectious like Vermillion

Every time i listen to this i just wish it was self titled. There’s something missing

It’s like
The riffs are menacing and the album is evil and their energy is there
But outside of a handful of tracks it just has zero atmosphere. Put it next to tracks like eyeless from self titled and there’s just no bones about it it’s night and day

I feel like it’s a different atmosphere. Something a bit darker, murkier, bleaker. I think Sid Wilson deserves more credit than he gets. The more I listen to the Knot the more I appreciate how his small touches go a long way towards mood and replayability. Yes his presence is more obvious on s/t but stuff like the creaking noise during the clean part of Disasterpiece really makes my spine tingle.
I also like how the bass sounds like revving up a lawnmower

Idk what happened, but a couple years ago suddenly there was this collective shift into thinking this album is a classic, front-to-back masterpiece. IMO it really, really isn't. Solid 7-8 range as an album.
This may not come out right, considering how well my blurbs usually go, but what makes it incredible is how fucking savage it is compared to their peers and the rest of the musical landscape. They were primed to drop a poppy single (saved it for Vol 3 lol), shed the intensity and clean up for a huge payday. Instead they double down and release one of the more VIOLENT albums of the era. Again, IMO, there isn't a single song on this that touches Sic or Eyeless, and it doesn't reach the highs of Vol 3 either. but all things taken into consideration it is pretty incredible how ruthlessly savage this thing still is.
