05.25.20 | I love Slipknot man |
wildinferno2010
05.25.20 | Yeah, this is 100% the correct order. |
Thalassic
05.25.20 | Yep
100% correctness attained |
JeremiahBullfrog
05.25.20 | Thanks guys |
ThyCrossAwaits
05.25.20 | This is actually pretty accurate, damn.
As a born n bred Iowan my list would go:
4
2
1
3
5
6
7 |
DaveT0738
05.25.20 | AHIG it's definitely underrated, it has some serious overlooked bangers |
Lord(e)Po)))ts
05.25.20 | "Honestly almost more Black / Death than Nu"
Adorable take |
Emim
05.25.20 | That was my thought too, pots |
JeremiahBullfrog
05.25.20 | What I mean is the guitar tones etc I mean come one, they’re closer to Morbid Angel on Iowa than they are fucking Korn or Limp Bizkit, surely? Still undoubtedly Nu Metal but yeah |
wildinferno2010
05.25.20 | I'm with you man, there's definitely a death metal influence in there on Iowa. |
chemicalmarriage
05.25.20 | 1 is the only record from this group that's ok |
wildinferno2010
05.25.20 | That's probably a fair take |
davezillaMP3
05.26.20 | I would say .5 is my personal pick for the worst, just because Corey's scream are kinda dry and feel very Air-y (donno if that is a good way to discribe them) as for the best, i would have to do a discography run to find that out for myself (as right now i can make good points for self-titled, Iowa, VOL 3, or WANYK being their best off the bat) |
evilford
05.26.20 | Also from iowa. Slipknot bloze |
widowslaugh123
05.26.20 | JEREMIAH WAS A DUMBASS |
TheSupernatural
05.27.20 | I don't remember listening to 5 but "Killpop" as a track title ranked it at the bottom for me. 7 at least has Bitch Slap/Do Nothing and that song is worth hearing at least once in your life.
I've always liked Iowa at the top but 1, 2, and 4 are pretty much interchangeable for me. |
Morningrise767
05.27.20 | Your top 2 is spot on! my ranking would go:
1
2
4
3
6
5
(actually haven't listened to 7 yet, but not sure if it even counts) |
combustion07
05.27.20 | 2,7,1,4,6 haven't heard the other 2. I'll always have a soft spot for st and MFKR has a quirkiness to it that I really dig |
JeremiahBullfrog
05.27.20 | That’s pretty out there combustion having MFKR over Iowa, I dunno man... |
Tundra
05.27.20 | AHIG is not that bad, I don't understand why it's so detested by people |
Itwasthatwas
05.27.20 | Iowa is laughably bad lyrically, even more than usual. Songs like heretic anthem and I am hated are some of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever heard. Still enjoy the S/T in the gym |
JeremiahBullfrog
05.27.20 | Wrong |
JeremiahBullfrog
05.27.20 | You can’t just have pretentious lyrics you need a dictionary for man, sometimes you just need in your face metal with lyrics to match, Iowa does it right, whereas FFDP doesn’t for example |
combustion07
05.27.20 | Eh. Iowa is alright but it has no nostalgia for me like s/t and mfkr does. |
Dmax28
05.27.20 | I think Welcome is one of the best on Vol 3! |
DadKungFu
05.28.20 | Decided to revisit this band after maybe ten years of not hearing them thanks to this list. It's still godawful. 3 was absolutely cringeworthy, how are people calling this a comeback? |
wildinferno2010
05.28.20 | It's not any more cringey than any of their other albums. It's better than the two that came before it. |
JeremiahBullfrog
05.28.20 | Yeah much better than All Hope and .5 |
DaveT0738
05.28.20 | "3 was absolutely cringeworthy, how are people calling this a comeback?" [2]
WANYK is fucking trash just like Gray Chapter, even AHIG it's a better album compared to those two |
DaveT0738
05.28.20 | S/t = Iowa > AHIG = Vol3 > MFKR >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> .5 = WANYK |
JeremiahBullfrog
05.28.20 | I didn’t realise so many people disliked Gray chapter wow |
EddieMarais
05.28.20 | Gray Chapter is so bad that this site doesn't have the facilities for me to rate it. For real, why don't we have 0 and 0.5? |
Relinquished
05.28.20 | who featured this |
Thalassic
05.28.20 | Maybe this was the 100th Slipknot ranked list and to celebrate that event a mod decided to feature
Bullfrog got lucky |
Relinquished
05.28.20 | if this was featured based on bullfrog pic then they are very easy to please |
JeremiahBullfrog
05.28.20 | Yeah I have no idea how that happened |
Itwasthatwas
05.29.20 | "sometimes you just need in your face metal with lyrics to match, Iowa does it right, whereas FFDP doesn’t for example"
I'm missing some kind of irony here right? |
Morningrise767
05.29.20 | "I didn’t realise so many people disliked Gray chapter wow "
yeah it blows |
JeremiahBullfrog
05.29.20 | Itwas,
You can’t say lyrically Slipknot are on the same level as FFDP, straight up. |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | bump for the only correct Slipknot ranking on this site and indeed ever. |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | updated with best / worst songs too |
TheAntichrist
11.10.20 | how is three mil a dud like bro do you even dm lol |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | got it on right now oddly enough, gone on a slipknot binge lately hence the bump |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | WANYK is awful except for 2 songs: Not Long For This World and Solway Firth |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | Dave, how come? |
Senetrix666
11.10.20 | "Honestly almost more Black / Death than Nu"
no |
Shemson
11.10.20 | Nobody ever burned churches listening to Iowa!
Maybe they messed up their room at their parents house or something? |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | its closer to DM then it is fucking bizkit |
Shemson
11.10.20 | Yeah but Limp Bizkit is also the worst kind of mainstream rap Nu Metal.
There are definitely some death influences with trem riffs and blast beats but it sounds nothing like black metal.
I 4.5d it by the way back in the days I did live in a bedroom at my parents house so I’m not hating |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | i'll even settle for just extreme metal over Nu |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | Also, AHIG is way overhated, no one can tell me with a straight face that songs like Gematria, Sulfur, Gehenna, This Cold Black, Wherein Lies Continue and AHIG are legit bad songs |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | no they aint, I love AHIG... just less than the rest |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | Tier for me goes like: 1,2,6,4,7,5,3 |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | I put AHIG over Vol.3 maybe because i listened to it so effing much when it came out lol i got burned out |
ReturnToRock
11.10.20 | I like 6 better than 3.
I'd go 2 > 1 > 6 > 4 for the first 4, haven't heard the others yet.
Also:
Slipknot S/T
Best: Surfacing
Worst: One of the unmemorable ones near the end (Prostethics/No Life/Diluted)
Hidden Gem: Only One
Iowa
Best: My Plague / Left Behind
Worst: Iowa (snoooore)
Hidden Gem: I Am Hated
Vol. 3
Best: Duality / Before I Forget
Worst: Vermillion Pt. 2 (WHY?!)
Hidden Gem: Circle
All Hope Is Gone
Best: Sulfur
Worst: ? (I'd have to revisit the album)
Hidden Gem: Gematria (The Killing Name) |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | nice, enjoying reading these bois |
ReturnToRock
11.10.20 | Also I agree the sound on the first two albums is basically industrial death metal with some clean singing. Never understood the 'nu' tag, as even Corey's 'rapping' is not the kind of white-boy rapping the genre was known for - it's moreso just really fast talking/singing. |
Josh D.
11.10.20 | I love that black/death band Slipknot |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | "Worst: One of the unmemorable ones near the end (Prostethics/No Life/Diluted)"
Man i love me some Prostethics, one of the best to me there, and Butcher's Hook it's easily on their worst songs not only on AHIG but in general |
TheSpirit
11.10.20 | Your Vol. 3 analysis is completely wrong but at least you tried |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | I would put Gehenna as the hidden gem on AHIG, Gematria it's obviously fucking good lol the closest they have been to reproduce the Iowa sound till this day |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | please note all how i said ALMOST more Death / black than Nu, meaning there's a fair mix of all the genres, but you are seriously under selling the album to not acknowledge the obviously and plentiful extreme metal inclusions on the album. |
Josh D.
11.10.20 | I love that black/death band Slipknot |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | very good yes |
Archelirion
11.10.20 | Metabolic as best Slipknot song is a quality, quality take and also true |
TheSpirit
11.10.20 | i wouldn't say so much black, but definitely strong death metal vibes. |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | The Black you here is very sparse, Maybe i should have chosen my words my wisely but i know what im tryin to say.
Thanks Archelirion! |
TheAntichrist
11.10.20 | 4 is 1. iowa is overrated as fuck don't @ me or satan will come to your home and microwave all of your ice cream |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | The Shape and Skin Ticket, omg Skin Ticket bois, underrated/overlooked as hell |
Archelirion
11.10.20 | Skin Ticket is creepy as all hell. I love it. |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | Best Slipknot is their technical vegan blackened death era, agree on that |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | true iowan black metal |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | yes skin ticket absolutely slaps |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | Something i really missed in the later years was Joey's groove and fillers, they where a major highlight to the sound |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | Paul's Bass was really audible on the first two as well, and man that guy could play |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | Absolutely, and you can hear him even more clear on MFKR, he has some really sweet leads there |
TheAntichrist
11.10.20 | it's audible enough sometimes on vol. 3 |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | Slipknot to me definitely was Clown, Paul and Joey, key members imo |
TheAntichrist
11.10.20 | for sure although it's hard to imagine these guys without corey |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | i took every loss of each classic era member personally, man when Paul Gray Died was the first time I ever cried at a musician passing, was pure sadboi about the others being fired too |
bigweinerdon
11.10.20 | band fuckin blows |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | bigweirnerdon that is smallweiner energy |
Brabiz
11.10.20 | I like All Hope is Gone quite a bit. More than The Gray Chapter tbh |
ReturnToRock
11.10.20 | Me and friend at Slipknot gig circa 2006/2007::
Friend: '...there's one guy missing!'
Me: 'What?'
Friend: 'There's only 8 of them!'
Me & Friend: *trying to count musicians on the distant stage*
Corey: *mentions one of the members is not there*
Me & Friend: '...oh.'
Can't remember who the missing one was though... It wasn't any of the main three. Might have been Paul, actually. |
Uzumaki
11.10.20 | Now do Stone Sour. |
JeremiahBullfrog
11.10.20 | Fucking love stone sour |
TheAntichrist
11.10.20 | ew |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | Never heard of her |
Intothepit
11.10.20 | God, that description is for Iowa is hilarious. |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | Yeh, talking like L.D.50 doesn't exists or something |
TheAntichrist
11.10.20 | l.d. 50 best bass in nu metal then maybe korn |
DaveT0738
11.10.20 | Is more than just the bass to me, everyone there shines on their own right imo, but most importantly the songwriting is just excellent, proggy Nu if you will |
