Yeah sometimes success like that is not everything. It loses all intimacy and any chance of any real meaningful fan interaction. They could still headline tours with this sound im sure just not insane huge metal fests only normal huge metal fests. Plenty of bands made a sound like this or even more extreme/experimental sounds work. As far as metal goes this is kinda run of the mill sonically.

This album is better than most of their discography and is a tie with their self-titled album. It's way more funky and groovy than their nu-metal style they play now. I especially like the tune "Confessions" on this album. They should've never hired Corey Taylor as he's a shit vocalist and kept Anders Colsefni. They should've also kept Donnie Steele as he's a more versatile guitarist than any of the guitarist Slipknot has now. Definitely shouldn't have hired Mick Thompson to play guitar as he's a crap guitarist that's incapable of writing anything and he's the biggest poser.

So much better than their nu metal shit. There's a lot of groove and heaviness on this album without the cringe record scratches and stuff from their later material. Wish they had continued with the groove/death metal approach but oh well..

Slipknot should: 1. Re-release this on all available formats (CD, vinyl, cassette) and 2. Put it on streaming services. It's a really solid album and there's no reason to not make it commercially available for people to enjoy.

Alternatively, Slipknot could re-record the album (or at least the songs that didn't get new arrangements already) and make a double release with both versions. This way today's lineup could still earn some money from the album release while people could enjoy the goodies from the ancient lineup and even compare it to the modern day re-recording. Two birds with one stone, unless the modern lineup is afraid that fans would prefer the ancient lineup instead of them.

Sounds quite promising. Have no idea what would have been, if they followed this musical style, merging death/groove metal with jazz, funk and some rapping. And the quality is quite good as for demo, especially this "meaty", a bit experimental sound. Truly, that someone below saw Pantera influence, because there is some here. Funny also to hear like they have this "industrial sound" with drills or something like that.

Альбом 97-го, который должен был выйти в свет первым, хранил в себе ту же фанковую нотку. Интересно, если бы Crowz всё же дебютировал, поменялась бы планка группы, как поменялась сейчас? Возможно, она бы либо окончательно распалась, либо не имела такого уж коммерческого успеха. Хотя представить Петлю андеграундом все равно, что клепать Anal Cunt официальные клипы и крутить их на тогдашних музыкальных каналах.

Считал этот альбом лютым говном. Послушав еще раз могу сказать, что мнение не сильно изменилось (Confessions относительно неплохая вещь). От вокала самому выть хочется. Уход Колсефни (и приход Тэйлора) пошел группе только на пользу.

The only Nu-Metal Slipknot album that matter, though Iowa has its moments. The rest of their discography (Especially the emo tune "Wait and Bleed") sucks.

Garbage vocalist, mostly garbage composition. Vocals aside though Confession is sweet.

Yeah, no, most of their shit sucks now. This remnants of something that could have been really unique.
