Japanese edition of self titled debut with 3 bonus tracks 'Get This', 'Interloper' (Demo) and 'Despise' (Demo) plus a special booklet and sticker. Limited edition. 2000 release. Standard jewel case.
The album cover of this self-titled release depicts the members of Slipknot in creepy masks, the dark image confirmed by the presence of a parental advisory sticker. Inside, foul language and subversive lyrics complete the picture. Yet Slipknot are no Insane Clown Posse, using hyperbole to mask a lack of talent. Slipknot's sound, while indebted to the likes of Korn, is more aggressive and creative. Indeed, it's a closer kin to Slayer and death metal, yet listenable and surprisingly melodic. The common denominator among Slipknot and the late '90s crop of neo-metal-rap bands is producer Ross Robinson (Korn, Limp Bizkit), who discovered the Iowa-bred Slipknot and signed them to his label, I Am Records. His stellar production, melded with wonderfully creepy percussive elements, a sampler, a DJ, metallic-grind guitars, and singer Corey Taylor's immense passion and wide melodic range, makes Slipknot immensely listenable. Slipknot isn't for everyone, but they provide a visceral and satisfying ride for fans of the hard stuff. --Katherine Turman

Hardcore:
This record was the stepping stone for any early- to mid- 20's Hardcore kid. Jamey Jasta has said in a Lambgoat interview that the Slipknot guys all used to come out to Hatebreed shows and give made love, respect, etc. And the Hatebreed influence shows here. Slipknot took the intimated (there, to be sure, but not *requisite* like today) 0-1-4-3-1-0 chord progressions of late-90's Hardcore and appropriated them for their own interests, inadvertently creating the template for the MOSH craze that reigns over... more info
Face-melting double-based metal fury!!!:
Yes i'm a metal freak. This album ruled the day and my zune along with Iowa. Then they steadily declined until by the time All hope is gone came out, they lost my interest completely. But anyways, heres how I rate each of the songs on this album: 1. 742617000027(Instrumental) - Weird, repetitive, and annoying 2. Sic - 11/10 - OMG the perfect song to kick things off with speedy double-bass from Joey to greet you right off the bat! 3. Eyeless - 10/10 - Awesome song love the furious singing from... more info
Use itunes, if you want more songs for same price:
....
If you use Itunes...
This album (14 songs) is 10$
The one with the 7 bonus songs (get this, Eeyore, spit it out (hyper), and several others) is 15$ The bonus songs are worth it
but If you don't have an itunes account or don't have an ipod
hit no on my review because it is NOT worth it
unless you are a huge slipknot fan
(and anyway I bet they have the bonus song album on amazon also but it will cost a little bit more..)
Slipknot:
Not a Slipknot fan but my son is. He loved it. Came quickly and in great condition.
