| Slipknot ranked | 6 | | Slipknot All Hope Is Gone
The messiest of the bunch. This album has some great tunes, but it feels like a bunch of tracks randomly thrown together like a b side album rather than a complete work. Also, in some cases only half of the songs really pull their weight (see: Gehenna, awesome start, weak as fuck pre chorus and chorus). I only occasionally jam individual songs from this one. | 5 | | Slipknot .5: The Gray Chapter
Sarcastophe, AOV and the Negative One are great jams. Killpop, Devil In I, and Skeptics cheesy as fuck chorus don’t do it for me, though. Album is like 60-70% awesome, though and I actually listen to this quite a bit. Just because this is at the lower end doesn’t mean this is a bad album imo. | 4 | | Slipknot Iowa
Now, I know this is a fan favorite and I’m probably going to get shit for this but hear me out: if this entire album was on par with the first several songs, it would be #1, but personally I feel the front half is noticeably superior to the second half. Still a great album, and I have many memories of jamming this one nonstop on my CD back when this first came out, but as it’s aged, the bad parts feel more cheesy than they used to. Still a constant jam though. | 3 | | Slipknot Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
Probably their most musically mature, but tbh I fucking hated this album when it was first released. I think it was either my first or second year of high school and I was coming off the high of Iowa and then this family friendly Slipknot came out. Took me years to come around and truly appreciate the experimentation of Vermillion and Danger. Fees like they grew up here. | 2 | | Slipknot We Are Not Your Kind
Now, this may be jumping the gun because I just heard it this morning for the first time, but it’s been on repeat all day and I feel fairly confident about this placement. Although Spiders still doesn’t fit for me, this is the only album from their newer era that I can jam all the way through and love mostly every track. Corey is at top form as well and the lyrics aren’t jumping out at being as cringe as possible, which is a chief complaint from me about this band. | 1 | | Slipknot Slipknot
I first heard this album when it came out in 1999. My brother showed me this album and it was the only other metal band other than Metallica and Slayer that I have ever heard, so I have a bit of a soft spot for this one. Other than that. This has the most terrifying atmosphere and an energy that is almost the level of Iowa. | |

08.06.19 | Gonna binge these nowwww | BAT
08.06.19 | aaaag new slipknots out?!? iowas my favorite followed by s/t buuut i gotta admit the 15min title track off iowas just a buncha nonsense. i hope the new one issss better than ahig/.5 | butt.
08.06.19 | whaaaat Iowa below Vol and WANYK?! I actually think the back half is way better than front half honestly. People and Disasterpiece aren't as good imo as people seem to think, and heretic anthem is meh/kinda cringe lyrically. | DarkSideOfLucca
08.06.19 | Yeah man! I don’t know when it leaked but I just found out this morning and I’ve been jamming it all day. I fucking love it dude, let me know your thoughts! Actually comes out Friday | DarkSideOfLucca
08.06.19 | Heretic anthem is the most cringe lyrically but it has one of the heaviest sections on the album imo. Tbh that and vol 3 was a hard choice - I love them both but they both have their downfalls (Corey sounds weak on vol 3 compared to Iowa, but I think the songwriting is more consistent on vol 3. But Iowa is more my style even with the weaker songs so ughhhh it was a hard choice lol, if I did this a different day they might have been reversed | Funeralopolis
08.06.19 | new album rules | GreyShadow
08.06.19 | i've never been super into these guys but I find myself quite hype for the new one for whatever reason. | DarkSideOfLucca
08.06.19 | Never | oltnabrick

08.06.19 | I only make lists when I'm horny. Let's move this chat over to AIM. You got a screen name, honey? E-mail address? A/s/l? | DarkSideOfLucca
08.06.19 | @olt - lol yeah man, I mean I'm pretty confident it's my second favorite but I guess we'll see if this grows on or off me in time | DarkSideOfLucca
08.06.19 | Ohhhh what a cryptic name! Does it mean anything? | Tundra
08.06.19 | There should be a rule against talking about leaks before the album releases, just a imo I guess | Relinquished
08.06.19 | 4's still the best, even with the stupid corny lyrics.
skin ticket >>> | butt.
08.06.19 | yup. skin ticket is a goddamn untouchable song | DarkSideOfLucca
08.06.19 | "There should be a rule against talking about leaks before the album releases, just a imo I guess"
Why? It's not exactly like I'm spoiling a movie that didn't come out yet or something like that.
"4's still the best, even with the stupid corny lyrics."
Aha, yeah 4 is awesome. I mean other than All Hope Is Gone, they're all pretty neck and neck tbh. I dig most of their stuff. | Thalassic
08.06.19 | Iowa's best
I mean...that's just a hard fact of life | Uzumaki
08.06.19 | ^^^
Hard agree with you there. | DarkSideOfLucca
08.06.19 | Damn, that's a brutal record - probably cut you before it even reached you | butt.
08.06.19 | sounds nice | BAT
08.09.19 | aight heard everything but the last track (wouldnt fit on my phone) annnd yeah it's easily their best since vol.3. if i had some peeves the choruses are too often 'operatic', kind of the duality/my plague formula on repeat, and there's noticably less electronic/samplebased stuff going on. thaaat said, they sound angry again annnd thers some solid grooves hidden in here. i'd also claim this has the best clean vocals out of all the slipknot albums. overall it feels like a more confident slipknot thaaan .5/ahig, i'm diggin it annd gotta give it a few more spins. | TheClansman95
01.14.20 | Iowa is my fav, I'd put it definitely higher on the list, it's brutal af |
