Top 35 slipknot songs
i could not include other great songs such as sulfur, surfacing and gently, consider them like honourable mentions |
| 35 |  | Slipknot
Slipknot
DILUTED
a huge improvement from interloper adding a darker atmosphere and more complex structure to the original song |
| 34 |  | Slipknot
Iowa
I AM HATED
the one that keeps the most the spirit of their debut, the growled scream around the 2.00 minute is the highlight of the song |
| 33 |  | Slipknot
.5: The Gray Chapter
NOMADIC
the catchiest chorus of the album, sure one of their most overlooked songs |
| 32 | | Slipknot
Iowa
HERETIC ANTHEM
i would put it higher but the extremely edgy lyrics, second only to surfacing make me pick it a little lower. That said, this song contains some of their heaviest riffs and slayer influences all over. The last chorus delivers a powerful rage burst |
| 31 |  | Slipknot
Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
SCREAM
Shame they left out this track off vol 3. Extremely catchy chorus and an awesome melodic solo |
| 30 |  | Slipknot
All Hope Is Gone
ALL HOPE IS GONE
an almost death metal first half makes me forgive them for Butcher's hook. Terrific performance by Joey |
| 29 | | Slipknot
Iowa
SKIN TICKET
the darkest song of the album beside the title track. An experimental alienating first half lately flows into a desperate anger, repeating over and over the same line. |
| 28 | | Slipknot
slipknot
SCISSORS/EEYORE
scissors took korn's tradition of the long creepy closer and creating a song about suicide by self dissection in this slow burning manic piece followed by a short hidden track that may be one of their heaviest songs ever |
| 27 | | Slipknot
Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
PULSE OF THE MAGGOTS
A dedication to slipknot fans. A rebellious anthem filled with overwhelming gang screams and good guitar perfomance |
| 26 | | Slipknot
Iowa
MY PLAGUE
The most accessible song from Iowa, nice alternation between cleans and growls |
| 25 | | Slipknot
.5: The Gray Chapter
CUSTER
you had me at D-d-da d-d-da d-d-da-da-da |
| 24 | | Slipknot
All Hope Is Gone
DEAD MEMORIES
commercial doesn't necessarily means bad. The softer side of the band still delivers a passionate performance and mature songwriting |
| 23 |  | Slipknot
We Are Not Your Kind
SOLWAY FIRTH
i know most of you would consider this the bs from WANYK but i think there are more original songs in it while this one is more derivative from older works, still an awesome return to the basics. Maybe Corey,s most pissed off vocals since iowa. the lyrics are more mature and the intro just prepares you for something great |
| 22 | | Slipknot
All Hope Is Gone
GEHENNA
This underrated gem is pretty unusual. When the quiet is torn apart by sudden screams and the overlap chorus begins you can' help but wonder who the fuck made Loudwire's list. |
| 21 | | Slipknot
Slipknot
742617000027/(SIC)
The one that began everything. (well, if you don't count the original MFKR version) |
| 20 | | Slipknot
All Hope Is Gone
GEMATRIA (THE KILLING NAME)
Their thrashiest effort, great riffs and solos, growls are back in order to sing political theme lyrics. |
| 19 | | Slipknot
We Are Not Your Kind
UNSAINTED
Choirs, catchy chorus, anti-religious lyrics and energy signed the return of the band with one of their best works |
| 18 | | Slipknot
Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
DUALITY
while not their best as many says it's still one of their most iconic pieces and delivers some pretty great lyrics. |
| 17 | | Slipknot
We Are Not Your Kind
NOT LONG FOR THIS WORLD
i feel like this song doesn,t get enough credit, one of their best build ups evolving from kind of a ballad to somethin completely different |
| 16 | | Slipknot
We Are Not Your Kind
CRITICAL DARLING
structured production, well balanced vocals and musicianship, but the part that made me rank this so high is the second verse right after the first chorus. one of the best Corey's moments in the album |
| 15 | | Slipknot
.5: The Gray Chapter
KILLPOP
a gloomy perverted love tale that excalate pretty quickly ito madnss |
| 14 | | Slipknot
Slipknot
WAIT AND BLEED
the legendary first single, simple yet effective. |
| 13 | | Slipknot
.5: The Gray Chapter
AOV
what makes this so great is the progression of clean chorus followed by a slayerish verse and switching through an atmospheric bridge. |
| 12 | | Slipknot
Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
THE NAMELESS
Maybe the most complex structured song of the band with back and forth verses, acoustic choruses and groovy bridges. Pretty raw lyrics that depicts domestic abuse and toxic relationships |
| 11 | | Slipknot
Slipknot
SPIT IT OUT
The sound that transformed nu metal. The best rapping in the album along with only one |
| 10 | | Slipknot
Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
THE BLISTER EXISTS
i always considered vol 3 their most mature album, both for songwriting and musicianship. This song shows perfectly why. The dual guitar is superb, the percussion sounds triumphant and the whole song manage to be both catchy and heavy |
| 9 | | Slipknot
Iowa
(515)PEOPLE=SHIT
imagine to listen this for the first time i 2001 having Linkin Park or Limp bizkit for nu metal notion. |
| 8 | | Slipknot
Iowa
LEFT BEHIND
perfecly balanced use of heavy and soft. imagine the video used as a cereal commercial |
| 7 | | Slipknot
We Are Not Your Kind
NERO FORTE
A return to nu metal roots reimagining the genre with complexity. The chorus manage to give a nostalgic feeling and stay fresh at the same time and....shit, that bridge is superb. |
| 6 | | Slipknot
Slipknot
PURITY
Eerie atmosphere, drum roll built verses, and scary vibes in this song based on the story of a girl found in a box |
| 5 | | Slipknot
All Hope Is Gone
PSYCHOSOCIAL
a bit of a normie pick but this song got me into Slipknot when i was a kid. Apocalyptic scenario in a groovy work that uses the old "growl verse, clean pre chorus, scream chorus" formula and still manage to be interesting adding the personal touch of the band |
| 4 | | Slipknot
Iowa
DISASTERPIECE
chaotic, nihilist, depraved, heavy, original and most of all pissed off. That haunting clean bridge set in the middle of what is probably their heaviest song just completes the greatness of it all |
| 3 | | Slipknot
Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
VERMILLION PART 1 & 2
A gothic fable of an idealized woman created by a sick mind. The first part is both melancholic and sick but really gives you the feeling of loneliness. The second part is a sad acoustic reprise that adds a more melancholic vibe to the story. |
| 2 | | Slipknot
Slipknot
EYELESS
Raw, manic and perfectly produced, eyeless is the depiction of madness through slipknot eyes. The riffs are amazing, the balance between electronics and instruments works perfectly and Corey's performance probably costed him a pair of vocal chords |
| 1 | | Slipknot
Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
BEFORE I FORGET
while eyeless is slipknot's quintessential song, before i forget is my personal favorite. It's existetial solipsist lyrics perfecly fits the chorus that underlines the "I". The melodic nature of the bridge creates a crescendo that contributes to the overall impact of this awesome work, not to mention the secret messages idden inside the final morse code. |
