Let it settle man, very easy to overplay Slipknot haha.

Album Rating: 3.0

Duality is such a meh song. I get why people like it as a single and other than Vermillion pt 1 it’s one of the only listenable songs on that album but I’d take the whole S/T, a couple from Iowa, and some of these songs over it.

"it’s one of the only listenable songs on that album"





uhhhhhhhhh very wrong

Album Rating: 3.5

Vermillion Pt 1 is class, yeah.

Album Rating: 3.0

Vol. 3 is class besides the final two tracks

Album Rating: 4.0

danger - keep away is one of my favorite tracks there

Album Rating: 3.5

vol 3 is just unlistenable because of the mastering. a bit jealous of anyone who doesn't notice it



vermilion pt. 2 escapes its grasp though

Album Rating: 4.0

I notice it but the songs are good enough to look past it

"danger - keep away is one of my favorite tracks there"



the damn drums on that are hype-inducing

yeah i don't dislike the songs

Vol 3 is my favorite and Duality is their best single imo — and actually one of my favorite Knot songs.

Album Rating: 3.0

The mastering, corey’s fried vocals, and the songwriting are all bad. Take a song like Opium, Mick just wanted to prove he could play something other than drop tuned riffs but the chromatic motif sounds like shit. I was pretty young at the time and even still I thought pulse of the maggots was ridiculously embarrassing

Album Rating: 4.0

the last two vol 3 songs are possibly the best two

Album Rating: 4.0

Hot take but I think Vol 3 is their 2nd worst one outside of All Hope is Gone

Album Rating: 3.0

Totally agree FTE, it sucks

Corey's fried vocals kill a huge portion of why I don't find it enjoyable.

WRONG.

I think he sounds loads better here than on the past two records

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah he sounds revitalized. Part of it is production. Ross Robinson takes these old low headroom preamps and has guys scream into them to generate preamp distortion. Then he layers you over and over. But that method, while helpful, still wouldn’t have fixed Vol 3 where Corey really wasn’t generating much of his own distortion. I don’t know what they did on this album, but whatever it is sounds good.

Album Rating: 3.0

Hmm maybe I'll have to give those songs another shot and see if they grow on me. Then Vol. 3 will be the best Knot record even more definitively.



I always liked the vocals on Vol. 3, I like hearing the pitch through the scream (but I know that's a personal preference that's just generally how I prefer screams), and I don't think they really sound "weak" like some people say. .5 is his worst performance vocally IMO. This is a huge improvement in the vocal department, as the Birth of the Cruel chorus clearly shows.
