Post subject:  Slipknot - Vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses
Well, curiosity got the best of me and I decided to listen to this album today on AOL My Music. Overall, :x . The songs are repetitive and bland. The guitar tunings are too low (honestly, downtuned guitars work great for a band like System of A Down, but not Slipknot). Corey Taylor sounds too much like Jonathan Davis, which isn't a good thing. And the album as a whole is just so damn boring and uninteresting. I must totally disagree with Aleksie's review for it.

The first album kicked ass, the second I hated but then reluctantly thought it was OK after listening to it again about a year after its release. This album I thought sucked. I sounded like a poor man's Stone Sour while still trying to be Slipknot. The gimmick is up. They should retire.

Stone Sour is the better band. Corey Taylor has an awesome voice that he wastes on Slipknot.

Slipknot should do a stylistic switch and become a mixture of metalcore and gothenburg nonsense; that'd make them instantly popular with the surface skimmers and their careers would be saved.

(insert infinite disdain for slipknot here)

Bought it because of the hype, listened to it once and got rid of it. Complete shit in every way possible, the guy has a shit voice, Joey is a shit drummer, and as for the fool dressed as a clown....fuck 'em. Fuck them all!

Well, I'm going to face the wrath and say that some of the tracks from their S/T are truly wonderful. They could groove like total bastards, and the extra percussionists really did lend them a fairly unique edge.

But this seemed to be lost by the time Vol 3 came along. None of the single from this record interested me, excpet for Vermilion, which I found fairly pleasant- but certainly not as energetic as the earlier stuff.

dloaded it out of curiosity, listened once to most of it before getting rid of the files with a joyful grin on my face. it's so shitty that I quite enjoyed the shittiness of it... that was quite a "performance" to be that awful. :twisted:

Maybe you should take the wife along, then we could have a "Name TIE's kid" thread.

Excellent, both of you :D

OT: It seems some people who thought themselves openminded yet 'elite' enough tried to laud this album as though Slipknot finally did something right. Well, wrong.

You're a French prostitute? :shock: Awesome!

Anyway, Corey Taylor is an awesome vocalist! In Slipknot he's not, he's just a regular screamer, but in Stone Sour there is no denying his skills as a vocalist. I think the Stone Sour album is fucking awesome. I wish he'd do that band full time.

Utter crap just like most everything slipknot has ever tried. It's my favorite from them, but a failure in music nontheless. They always have sucked, and always will.
