I bought this album today and I thought it was really different and very surprising, I was expecting something similar to IOWA which after the 3rd play is really dull and monotonous.

I would post more but seeing as the intelligence of this thread has plummeted due to the "maggots" I won't.

And what i actually said was:

That implies Rock and/or Metal! Wow! Isn't it fun to learn kids? Now, go off into the wilderness, play, have fun, and don't be a total fuckburger!

By the way, if you'd like to show me how Slipknot is more original, technically skilled or are better at songwriting than ALL those other bands, i'd be happy to see.[/QUOTE]

What happened to your other account?

Seems like some people can't understand the fact that others are entitled to their own opinion, whether you think it is completely wrong or not.

I like the new album. Though it isn't Slipknot. To me Slipknot are a heavy band and I think they should stay like that, not stray off into all this singing stuff. Maybe this will be a step in the right direction for Slipknot, but I don't think it will be.

I don't know what you guys are talking about with the acoustic songs. I really like them, especially Vermillion Pt.2.

this album deserves a 7 out of 10 the best songs are three nil, opium of the people, duality, pulse of the maggots, and before i forget

I think this album is alright. Slipknot is not one of my favorite bands or anything and it kind of suprised me how different this one is from their others. However, it's kind of pointless to argue about it being the best or worst album ever, it's a matter of taste. Someone may hate it, someone may think it's the best thing they have ever heard. They're both right, but I would suggest to the people who think it's the best to maybe listen to some more music. But that is just what I think and I am not going to force it on anyone else. I don't really think Slipknot needs to have so many band members to get their sound, but whatever works for them.

[QUOTE=Da Facist Dictator]Man wat is all this in here??? talking bout jet and bands of such. note to whoever started that and/or likes jet, get a life they r relly relly crap.
slipknot is the best band in the world and nobody better question it. and because i am a real maggot i will not b downloading the album i will buy it
i have got iowa and s/t and disaster pices and they r all just as (sic).
will not b somone who says "i am a slipknot fan" and downloads it cause my friend u r not a maggot, ur a tool. a true maggot would never think of downloading it
and 4 the rest of u who arn't maggots, why r u even in this reveiw fourm???? if u r going to come here and say somthing don't say anything about downloading it. i don't care if u bag the hell out of it cause its ur opinion and u r entitled to it.
good job to CKY 4 writing the reveiw. i like it

ALL THE MAGGOTS OUT THERE, IT IS TIME TO RISE!!!!!![/QUOTE]

I'm downloading Pulse of the Maggots just for you.

Vol. 3 is a amazing album. Their goal was to show people that there was more to the band than what has been heard before. I love MFKR and Iowa, so when I heard there was going to be accoustic songs, I was pissed. It turns out Circle and Vermilion Pt. 2 are two of the best songs on the album. Also the guitar work is outstanding. Mick and Jim are ****ing shredders. I hope Slipknot continues on, tearing down people's expectations on what Metal is and should be.


One more thing. For those who don't think of Slipknot as a metal band, listen to Eeyore or Disasterpiece or even Left Behind. And besides, whose to say what's metal and what isn't. Metal isn't a special sound or image. It's an attitude. It's an feeling. It's something you have in your heart. You don't have to sound like Metallica or Slayer or Pantera to be metal. You have to make music that comes from the heart and is untainted by the business. Metal is being true to yourself, not sounding like another band whose "Metal".

No, metal definitely is a type of music, a certain sound. And you contradicted yourself mightily by saying "listen to these songs, they're their most metal-sounding ones, but remember there is no actual metal 'sound'".

[QUOTE=bareknuckles]
I wouldn't worry about people who say that Slipknot isn't metal because those people think that metal bands have to have big hair, feminin voices, and tight pants.[/QUOTE]

Again, no. Just no.

im a huge slipknot fan and i do have thieir new cd. it was somewhat of a dissapointment compared their first self-titled and iowa albums. besides that i tought it was ok.in my opinion, iowa was their best album. i still love slipknot and props to corey taylor and the band for trying some new sonds,but i still like the head banging screaming stright-from-the-pit sound they displayed in iowa as opposed to the more docile songs they have on their new album. :evil:

:lol:
This thread is hilarious

So basically, this is what I think you all should do.
Listen to the album, then make a informed decision on what to say.
I'm not a fan of Slipknot by any means, but this album is actually really good.
The solo in Pulse Of The Maggots sounds a LOT like a Kerry or Jeff solo (which is good, because I like Slayer)

Members of this forum are really being childish. I'm only going to be 17 in a couple of weeks, and I think a lot more maturely than most narrow minded others in here. If you're every going to say "uuhh [insert band here] sucks blah blah blah" then think back to when someone said that to you. The chances are that you got really pissed off and gave them a bunch of lip back.

I'm a great lover of old school 80's thrash and all that jazz, and I'm not afraid to say I like an album other than Metallica/Slayer/Ozzy/Maiden etc...

So, go listen to the album (download it or whaterver i don't give a $h!t) or at least a few songs before you go "Oh Iowa sucked, so this must be bad". Stereotyping is the same as racism. So, you're a racist. Go tell your friends at the next KKK meeting about how much you THINK [X Band] sucks.

Personally, your review confused me. For example, when talking about 'Virus of Life', you say you like it, when you gave it a 4/10. And what the jesus does 'It's pretty mediocre, but not half bad' mean?

So, by that flawless logic you are a racist for stereotyping us by slotting us all into the childish bracket. Wow.

Holy contradictions batman! You praise your maturity, but in the same post make a direct link between racism and musical opinions. Not laugh out loud funny, but quite the chuckle.

What I meant was that most people consider metal to be have a fast, aggressive, brutal sound. The songs I mentioned fall under that category. But I believe that metal doesn't always have to be fast or brutal. Take "Fade to Black". It is an amazing song, and a great metal song. But it isn't the fastest and it isn't the hardest. I guess most people want their metal fast and heavy, and there is nothing wrong with that. I enjoy brutal, crushing music too. But I also like to see creativity.

But I doubt there's many people around who would argue Fade to Black isn't a metal song. I know I wouldn't. Music doesn't have to be fast and brutal to be metal (doom metal, for example), but there is something which distinguishes metal from, for example, rock.

And what the jesus does 'It's pretty mediocre, but not half bad' mean?[/QUOTE]

It means it's nothing special (i.e. mediocre, fairly run-of-the-mill), but not done badly, so it's not actually offensive to listen to. Just not great.

My simple opinion about slipknot: they are total degradation of everything that metal ever done for music. They are calling themselves "metal band". In my opinion they don't have nothing with metal. I am listening metal over 15 years and know more about music than you kids will ever know. Thank you.


p.s. Slipknot is S-H-I-T !!

No, that just means you're a bigger asshole about it

Man...I hate mostly every kid that says Slipknot is metal. They are nu-metal. They play power chords with simple, basic riffs. With some crappy screaming and lots of singing about Pain and all this other gay fu.cking s.hit that's been said over and over again. It's like punk, how many times are you going to listen to the same power chords over and over until you get sick of it?

And this ^ is one of the main reasons people hate Slipknot fans

slipknot = hord core

Ok you guys that dont like slipknot and are in to your little ga* rap and shi* or your little punk-pop bands go away. Your dumb Slipknot IS the best band out there, i thought iowa and their st were the best albums ive ever heard. Though their acustic songs werent what i expected, they still and are slipknot. I dont know, slipknot gets you reved up for things SLIPKNOT is the best band period
