    Their first two albums have such raw thunderous aggression that I think is unmatched. I absolutely love them. Their newer stuff isn't bad at all, got a few bangers in there but I really miss Joey's drumming. It just wasn't the same.. It sounded more bland or flat overall. Corey's still has his moments but the more stone soury singing turns me off a bit. And Surely they've got some very underrated guitar work across all their albums.

    2.) Anders Colsefni’s name is pronounced (and-ers cul-sef-nee)
    3.) Slipknot had a 2nd album with Anders that was never released and was leaked in 2020. It’s on UA-cam and it’s called the SR Audio Gold Disk and it is fucking amazing.

    Dang, I was so surprised he put All Hope Is Gone in his top 3. I love that record and as a casual Slipknot fan its always been my favorite. I enjoy something off all their albums but AHIG is easily the one I'm always coming back to. I can't even explain why, it just really clicked for some reason. Joey absolutely owned this record

    I ordered a copy of MFKR from some mail in CD order form I got in an old Metal Magazine when I was in Middle School. I was sent a CD-R copy of the album with cover art that had a live picture of Corey Taylor on it and the most clip art font ever with their name and album title. It also featured a Bonus Track of "Lookaway" from Sepultura's Roots album. I think I spent about $30 on this thing....

    Great video, I saw Anders live in Sydney a few months ago. His vocals performing live are so much better than the recording - he did a full performance of Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat in a small venue which the crowd loved. His growl was great but definitely so much different in style to Corey.

I think if Dead Memories and Snuff got cut from the album, people wouldn't have bitched. It's really death metal in a lot of parts as you mentioned. Listen to the title track. Fuck. I'll still die on the hill of IOWA being the greatest metal album of all time, and this band dying with Paul. Great video FInn......

    The adderal EP is also very fun and interesting, and id love them to move to less from full length albums to just a couple songs, or a song with demo versions/instrumentals

  • @Monius13

    I love Slipknot's entire catalogue.
    On one hand, I love how a lot of us has different opinions on what their favorite songs by them are. Or favorite albums.
    For example; For me, Psychosocial is great, but not even in my top 5 favorite Slipknot songs.
    And I actually love Devil In I and Killpop a lot.
    To the point of the video, though, I have a hard time picking a favorite. Iowa and Vol. 3 are the 2 I go between.
    It's crazy, too, because back then Iowa was WAY too heavy for my taste. I didn't like music that heavy. And I still loved that album. And now that I've gained an appreciation and admiration for much heavier music, I love it that much more.
    Thanks for the video as always, Finn!

    After Vol.3 they wrote great SONGS.
    The End, So Far had Yen…and that’s pretty much it for me.
    And I’m really disappointed that I never got to see them live in the old days. Not really interested in seeing them now.

    I think Self Titled album deserves another chance. All you've been talking about is Spit It Out. Spit It Out was indeed not as tight as the rest because that was their first demo ever. Spit It Out hyper version is tighter though! But songs like: Wait And Bleed, Surfacing, Sic, Eyelless,... you simply cannot skip. They don't deserve 4th place.

      @FlyboyHelosim 5 місяців тому +1

      I feel like self-titled is an experience. It's the only album of theirs that I can play from start to finish without skipping a track. Probably helped by the fact that some of the songs lead into the next ones, such as Tattered & Torn, Frail Limb Nursery, and Purity. Also no two songs sound the same, a truly amazing and diverse set of songs.

    V3 goes at the top for me. I always found Iowa to be a little too tight sounding, more like something from a standard 5 piece band. In contrast, V3 brings a lot more of Craig and Sid into the mix along with much looser percussion really making it sound like the product of all nine members.
    I’d also put WANYK up there near the top of the list too

  • @AwesomeAustinz

    Fully agree with Finn. Wait and Bleed is my all time favourite, followed by Psychosocial. I don’t understand why many fans often benchmark every new album with Iowa, progress is not made by looking back. I really like Unsainted, Nero Forte, Red Line and Solway Firth from WANYK and I personally think that Hive Mind is one off their all time top 10 songs. Next year the band will have its 25th anniversary,

    While there’s a couple things I kinda disagree with, like why wasn’t Spiders mentioned, what this video has made me think of most is what songs are on my top-tier?
    Now I wanna listen back to songs like Vermillion, Skin Ticket, the aforementioned Spiders and The Negative One. That song specifically makes the idea of them doing singles pretty attractive to me because that one was a BANGER.
    Cool video!
