Slipknot. The 9 masked men who seem to be masked all the time. Except when they're not Slipknot. You know what I mean.

Repeat.[/b] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/08/Mfkralbum.jpg[/img] Slipknot's first demo album. It all began in Slipknot's hometown, Des Moines, Iowa. It took them about 7 months to complete it. Funnily enough, as grim as it sounds, it's all about a card game the band played at that time. Since Corey was not around on this album, it also includes the horrible vocals of Anders (who was replaced by Corey after Mick and Joey, I think approached him) This album featured the following lineup (Source is Wikipedia): [list][*]Anders Colsefini – vocals, custom percussion [*]Shawn Crahan – custom percussion, backing vocals [*]Paul Gray – bass, backing vocals [*]Joey Jordison – drums [*]Josh Brainard – guitars, backing vocals [*]Donnie Steele – guitars (performed on album but not given credit) [*]Mick Thomson – guitars (credited but did not perform on album) [*]Craig Jones – samples (credited but did not perform on album) [*]Sean McMahon – producer, engineering, mixing, mastering [*]Mike Lawyer – mastering [*]Stefan Seskis – photography[/list] [b]Slipknot[/b] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/44/Slipknot_-_Slipknot2.jpg[/img] The debut album, released on June 29, 1999. After Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat., the band wrote new songs with their new vocalist Corey Taylor. In 1998 they kept receiving attention from record labels such as Epic and Hollywood Records. On September 29, 1998, Slipknot left Des Moines, Iowa to go to Indigo Ranch Studios in Malibu, California to record an album. They released a demo to prospective labels and producers; the track "Spit It Out" was the main focus of the demo and, with help from their manager Sophia John, they were able to get a copy of the eponymous demo to Ross Robinson. The band wanted him to work with them on their debut album and after meeting with the band Robinson signed them to his own label, I Am, but later helped sign them to Roadrunner Records. Ross Robinson used the words "very aggresive and chaotic" to describe the intensity the band created when performing live. By November 11, 1998, the recording seemed complete and the band returned to Des Moines. During Christmas, guitarist Josh Brainard, who recorded on all tracks to that point, decided to leave the band. The reasons for his departure are currently unknown, but it was widely thought to have been because of family constraints, however, Brainard dispels these rumors, explaining that "some decisions were made that I wasn't particularly happy with". So, his replacement was Jim Root, with whom the band returned to studio in February 1999. Slipknot finished recording during this period. The mixing stages were very challenging, as drummer Joey Jordison and producer Robinson mastered the entire album by hand, with traditional equipment, instead of using computerized technology. "Wait and Bleed" and "Spit It Out" which had appeared on the demo album, were released on the debut album Slipknot also; "Interloper" and "Despise" are available on the digipak version of the same album and "Snap" was featured on the soundtrack for the 2003 movie Freddy vs. Jason. Also, in September 9, 2009, Slipknot released a special edition box set for the 10-year anniversary of the release of the original album. Since the release of Slipknot, the band has had its final line-up.

The title derives from the band's home state, Iowa, which members have stated is one of their biggest sources of inspiration. Despite being a member of Slipknot since 1999, it was the first album where guitarist Jim Root had been significantly involved. He had joined them during the later recording stages of Slipknot and subsequently became more involved with this album. During an interview with Guitar magazine in November 2001 he explained, "it was so exciting as well as scary to be part of this whole huge process", adding that there was a lot of pressure from fellow guitarist Mick Thomson to perform well on the record. In an interview with FHM in December 2001, vocalist Corey Taylor revealed that he put himself in specific situations to achieve his performance on the album. While recording vocals for the final song "Iowa" he was completely naked, vomiting all over himself and cutting himself with broken glass. Explaining this, he said, "that's where the best stuff comes from. You've got to break yourself down before you can build something great." While producing the album, Ross Robinson broke his back in a dirt-biking accident, he returned to the studio after a day, reportedly "putting all of his pain into the album", much to the admiration of the band. [B]Also shit went down during the Iowa period.[/B] Corey strained his vocal chords (which is why he sounded like shit on Vol 3) and the band came at the verge of breaking up. [b]Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)[/b] [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e9/Slipknot_-_Vol._3-_%28The_Subliminal_Verses%29.jpg[/img] Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) is Slipknot's third studio album and was released on May 25, 2004. It is the band's only album produced by Rick Rubin. Rick Rubin has helped out big names like Johnny Cash and Metallica on Death Magnetic and Linkin Park with Minutes to Midnight. Slipknot recorded Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) with producer Rick Rubin at The Mansion in Los Angeles, California in 2003.Earlier there had been speculation regarding the possibility of a third album and the band's future, as some members worked on other musical projects (Stone Sour, Murderdolls etc). After the album was completed, the band said that these side projects "saved the band" and "helped them break out of the box they were in". However, coming back together and working out their differences hindered the writing process initially. During an interview in 2008, drummer Joey Jordison said "we didn't talk to each other for three months, we just sat there wasting money in the fucking Houdini mansion." Speaking retrospectively percussionist Shawn Crahan states; "eventually we got sick of waiting for shit to happen. We got together, had a few beers and wrote a really artsy, fucked up song called 'Happy Ending'." In a 2003 interview, Jordison explained that despite the initial problems more than enough material was written for the album and added that "it's better to have stuff to pick from than to settle for shit", in contrast to how Slipknot settled too soon with fewer songs on previous albums. Band members were divided over their experience of working with producer Rubin, some of which doubted his commitment to Slipknot as he split his time between many artists at once. Lead vocalist Corey Taylor admitted in an interview that he drank heavily throughout their time in the mansion, saying "I would drink from the moment I got up until the moment I passed out." He explained that; "everything I did while I was drinking sounded like shit," while expressing how unhappy he was with the choice of vocal takes which ended up on the album. During this time, percussionist Crahan worked on Voliminal: Inside the Nine, a video documenting the creation process of the album and the touring which would follow. [b]All Hope Is Gone[/b] [img]http://media.hiponline.com/uploads/2008/08/slipknot-all-hope-is-gone.jpg[/img] As I was typing the title of the album I heard a voice in the back of my head; "ALL HOPE IS GONE!", this is a spectacular album. All Hope Is Gone is the fourth studio album by Slipknot, released on August 20, 2008. Preparation for All Hope Is Gone began in 2007. Drummer Joey Jordison explained, "I've told them to demo whatever they can so we've got as much material to choose from as possible. "In February 2008, Slipknot entered the Sound Farm Studio in Jamaica, Iowa with producer Dave Fortman. All Hope Is Gone is the band's first album written and recorded in their home state of Iowa. Bassist Paul Gray explained that the band decided to record in Iowa because there were too many distractions in Los Angeles, where production of their previous albums had taken place. The band also stated that being close to home was good for their mindset; vocalist Corey Taylor drove home every night to see his son. Unlike Slipknot's previous releases, the album's writing process involved all nine band members, who wrote over 30 songs. Jordison commented, "I have to say that the band is at its peak; everyone—I mean everyone—is now completely involved in the writing process, and it's a beautiful thing." Taylor felt the writing process had some problems, but also noted that the creation of every Slipknot album has had conflict and that the band has come to embrace it after realizing that the conflict helps to bring out their creativity. Taylor and guitarist Jim Root paired up with Sid Wilson, performing on keyboards, and percussionist Shawn Crahan to work on "oblique, arty pieces". Taylor also experimented with tracking in an old well, stating, "There was this natural reverb to it that was just intense." According to Crahan none of the experimental tracks made it onto the album. However, one of them, "Til We Die", appears as a bonus track on the album's special edition. The track "Sulfur" was the first combined effort of Jordison and Root, who wrote the song in one evening. Feeling discontent over the record's production process, Root said, "it felt a little bit rushed. And it felt like we were trying to do things just to appease a schedule, which I didn't really like." Root was particularly disappointed with the record's producer, Dave Fortman, and said, "Dave Fortman really helped me appreciate Rick Rubin as a producer. [Fortman] wasn't able to get nine people together on the same page and, to me, that's the most important thing in making a Slipknot record." Conversely, Jordison said, "It's finally the record that I've wanted Slipknot to sound like." He went on to compliment Fortman's ear for tone, and considered All Hope Is Gone to be the band's best album. All Hope Is Gone was mixed by Colin Richardson in the United Kingdom. Prior to the album's release, Slipknot's members displayed interest in making All Hope Is Gone their heaviest album, which Joey Jordison affirmed saying, "It's going to be heavier than Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), but just as weird and as experimental." Corey Taylor reiterated this, describing All Hope Is Gone as a "very dark" combination of the band's two previous studio albums, Iowa and Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses). In All Hope Is Gone, Slipknot expands on their use of traditional song structures, acoustics, and solos that they introduced on their previous album Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses). The track "Snuff" is led by acoustic guitars and has been dubbed as Slipknot's attempt at a "power ballad", though it remains "dark and ominous". In an interview with Artistdirect, Shawn Crahan stated, "Everyone can feel the pain that's in there. It's not forced upon you. You have it in there innately." Slipknot also retained a metal edge reminiscent of their earlier work. Stephen Erlewine of Allmusic wrote "Gematria (The Killing Name)" goes from "a cluster of cacophony" to "an onslaught of densely dark intricate riffs". Crahan compared it to the song "(sic)" from their debut album, explaining, "The technique and the style are very reminiscent of the old, brutal shit that we've done." Jim Kaz of IGN stated that the "swaggering, cock-rock groove and an anthemic chorus" of "Psychosocial" gives Slipknot the potential to reach out to new fans "without sacrificing a lick of intensity". Crahan stated he "loves" his parts of "Psychosocial", in which the band incorporates snare drums, reminiscent of "Before I Forget". He also cited "This Cold Black" as one of his favorite songs, saying that it has a "driving tempo and a lot of attitude". The track "Gehenna" incorporates elements of Slipknot's slower, more cerebral edge reminiscent of "Prosthetics" and "Purity" from their debut album, and "Skin Ticket" from Iowa. Crahan called it a "trippy song", explaining, "It's just somewhere we go." Corey Taylor explained that the phrase "All Hope Is Gone" is aimed at the fans' expectations of the band, further elaborating, "Just when you thought you had us figured out, give up all hope because you're never, ever going to." Throughout the album, Taylor incorporates a focus on politics in his lyrics, compared to Slipknot's previous albums. The opening track, ".execute.", features Taylor's response to former United States Vice President Spiro Agnew’s speech targeted at Vietnam War protesters, and the second track "Gematria (The Killing Name)" follows in the same vein. During an interview with Kerrang!, Taylor discussed the song's lyrical content, explaining, "There are a lot of people who are disguising politics as religion and dictating taste and turning it into policy. And that hurts me." Reviewing for IGN, Jim Kaz said that lyrically, "Gematria (The Killing Name)" gives the listener a "heaping dose of Corey Taylor's caustic bravado". On the track "Wherein Lies Continue", Taylor offers a "dressing down of the world as we know it," explaining, "It kinda goes up against any civilization that takes themselves way too seriously and where the 'leaders' are so pretentious that they think they are deemed to speak for the people." He also proclaimed, "It wouldn't be a Slipknot album if I didn't rag on the recording industry." On "Butcher's Hook", Taylor specifically targets "all those little emo boys", commenting, "People give us shit for wearing outfits, but all of those guys look exactly the same."

Slipknots a decent band, they really have a unique sond and fill a good niche in music IMO. There are much better bands, but, Dewp, no need to act superior. Music taste is subjective after all...
Slipknot is pretty awesome, yeah. I was a fan a long, long time, and I still like them, I just don't listen to them that much anymore. Anyways, I like the first "real" album(Self-titled from '99) the best, but everything else is also epic.

Not a fan, at all, and I don't find their music worth listening too either, but I honestly don't get the hate towards the band. Sure, the music doesn't fit my listening habits, but it's far from the worst music ever made. Seems like it has become a trend to hate a band just to look cool doing it. Lame.
I must admit I quite like MKFR. Can't say I appreciate anything else they've done though.
show me somthing more brutal than (sic)
I think that most of the stuff from All Hope Is Gone is pretty listenable, as well as some of their earlier stuff. Their riffs are rhythmic and heavy, which may appeal to some. But with this said, there are a few songs that just sound like random noise. The masks may be gimmicky to some (I'm guessing to most on FP), but others think that the masks give the band the edge, it perhaps gives the band members some anonymity, maybe they're trying to push their music more than they're trying to popularise themselves, I dunno. But with this said, I remember watching some recent interviews where most of the band members thoroughly regret adopting the masks in the first place. Also, I don't really listen to the lyrics that much, so I can't say much about that.

I have listened to slipknot about 8 years now (yeah I guess I was one of those kids back then) and I will continue listening them, because the music is great in my opinion and I'm hoping to see more of them.
[QUOTE=BoosLee;17280610]I think that most of the stuff from All Hope Is Gone is pretty listenable, as well as some of their earlier stuff. Their riffs are rhythmic and heavy, which may appeal to some. But with this said, there are a few songs that just sound like random noise. The masks may be gimmicky to some (I'm guessing to most on FP), but others think that the masks give the band the edge, it perhaps gives the band members some anonymity, maybe they're trying to push their music more than they're trying to popularise themselves, I dunno. But with this said, I remember watching some recent interviews where most of the band members thoroughly regret adopting the masks in the first place. Also, I don't really listen to the lyrics that much, so I can't say much about that.[/QUOTE]Lol AHIG was one of the worst albums I've ever heard it was so sell out and weak. Volume 3 the subliminal verses however was by far their best album.

Pretty awesome.

I used to like them. Their self-titled album is the best, then they kinda went downhill.
<3 Slipknot. I went to a Concert in July. It was simply mind blowing.

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;17279523]Slipknots a decent band, they really have a unique sond and fill a good niche in music IMO. There are much better bands, but, Dewp, no need to act superior. Music taste is subjective after all...[/QUOTE] ...i'm sorry but i cannot let that pass. They don't have a unique sound they sound like every other nu metal band.
