I actually found this album to be really disapointing.I mean it's a good album but it can never compare to the old SlipKnoT I know and love. Highlights : The Blister Exists, Three Nil, The Nameless Of course, they had to evolve, because nu-metal doesn't sell well anymore… I think that Slipknot is now a mature band (musically speaking at least), able to mix melody and violence, and well poised to continue to blast our ears off !!! I'm not a great fan of the nu-metal sound, and you'll find that Slipknot aged very well, leaving this sound style behind. #VOL3 THE SUBLIMINAL VERSES HOW TO#But they prove that the guys from Slipknot know how to add great melodies to their songs.Īnother great change is in the sound itself : for this album they worked with producer Rick Rubin (also guilty of a lot great work with Slayer and System of a Down), and I think this greatly improved er…, well absolutely everything in fact. But, there's no brutal straight-in-the-face song like Surfacing or People = Shit… You'll find, however, quiet and atmospheric songs (Circle, Vermillion pt 2)… No, no I'm not kidding, they made it ! I think they are quite good, but a little disturbing for a band praised for its violence (too much time with your side-projects, guys ?). You'll have on this album almost everything you wanted from Slipknot : aggressive, crushing songs (Three Nil), great riffs (Pulse of the Maggots), the catch-all single song (Duality, not unlike Wait and Bleed), the strange disturbing, Prosthetic-like song (The Virus of Life). The songs seem sometimes to go in every direction at once, but it is not a cacophony because each instrument adds its part well. The percussions are - at least - a big, huge part of the sound (The Blister Exists), and you can even find guitar solo from time to time (Welcome). This album is certainly the most complex they have written so far, with (listen well) a lot of different sounds absolutely everywhere. And yes, Slipknot are back, and they definitively kick ass ! The violence is still there, but… And then I listened it again. Three long years since Iowa… And now the nine madmen are back !Īt the first listening, I found this album somewhat strange, with songs more akin to those written for Stonesour (Duality, the first single). When the footage was being shot, Clown began making little tests of the footage and revealed them to his fellow bandmates, judging their reactions to help him establish areas of interest from them. The whole recording process produced over 300 60-minute tapes of footage.04. Clown wanted to capture as many different Slipknot situations as he could, so when the opportunity to produce a DVD came, he would be in a position to begin work immediately. Recording began when Slipknot entered The Mansion and continued until they had finished touring in 2005.

The single would later be featured in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Clown would debut his black and white “Grammy Clown” mask with a never before seen pink IOWA jumpsuit.

Then it was time to finish the Canada 2005 tour with 4 more shows left to perform. Following New Zealand they moved on to Australia to perform rest of the Big Day Out shows, from January 23 to February 6, 2005.
