Vol 3 was my first ever Slipknot album so I admit I have nostalgia for it, but I also listen to it as regularly as I do Iowa. Three Nil and Welcome are constant gym bangers for me.

Killpop isn't that bad if you keep in mind it's not about romantic relationships but about music industry. Really changed things for me

[hansithebard]

vol 3 was one of the albums that got me into music. I still think to this day that it is a masterpiece of an album. Infact I just bought it a second time on vinyl nearly 20 years later. Vermilion parts one and two still give me the chills, circle is sooo beautiful and haunting, the nameless is one of their best songs, three nill and pulse of the maggots are crushing and fantastic.The singles are legendary. Very inspired album

[sylvanomangano]

LMAO Disagree with your subliminal verses take but the "You need to leave!" meme had me in stitches

[ooze]

Corey said that he wanted Snuff to be a Slipknot song, to show that the heaviest songs aren’t always the heaviest

[omid]

The grey chapter is forever underrated. The bonus tracks the burden and override always get overlooked, ps I think kill pop is an amazing song and the music video is really creative and tells a story in its own way.

My experience with Slipknot is a very recent one, maybe a year and a half ago. I got gifted tickets for a Knotfest concert in October 2021 and I didn't know any songs from them outside of Duality and Psychosocial. I started listening on their newest album at the time then went backwards. Unpopular opinion on one album but my two favorite albums are the Self-Titled and the Grey Chapter. Songs like The Burden and Override are amazing to me and the other album, Scissors and Prosthetics, are some of the most haunting and heavy sons I've ever heard. They also have insane concerts with loads of lights and interaction from the crowd. Slipknot quickly became my favorite band ever and the new album I love so much. Hope everyone is loving the album, rock on 🎸

[cormacbegley]

Their first album and Iowa are my favorites but man some of my favorite songs come from the gray chapter. Sarcastrophe, Custer, and especially the Negative One are such bangers

[bestbrainbigman]

As someone who was introduced during the Gray Chapter, The Devil In I has consistently been my all time favorite song as well as my most listened out of any Slipknot song in my library.
I think the variety in dynamic in Devil in I pins it as one of the most unique and memorable in their discography. I personally don’t think it’s cringey at all, but to each their own

[Robin_Str-]

Man Vermilion for me is like one of the best songs they have EVER written but opinions can differ.

[jameser]

I originally started listening to Slipknot around 2019-2020 completely oblivious of WANYK. (I was raised with Slipknot, Korn, Limp Bizkit, or literally any other alt metal or nu-metal band) I loved every album and then I took a deep dive into every song and they are now 100% my favorite band. TESF is a complete banger in my opinion, can’t wait for my CD and shirts to arrive.

[MetalNeverDieswithMarkA]

Great ranking video. I'm not a big Slipknot fan but I'll give this new album a spin for sure. Keep up the great work

[niccoprimo]

My experience with Slipknot, and also for me as a metalhead started with Unsainted (even if I actually started listening to some Trivium but I didn't enjoy them that much). While waiting for the full album release I listened to every single piece of the discography and that was all that I listened in summer 2019. Your ranking is quite good in my opinion, but Volume 3 and 5 are much better than All Hope Is Gone for me, but maybe it's just because I'm tired of listening to those tracks. I still need to listen to the new one but I hope that how you presented it makes it click for me as well

[Triiplesiix]

The production on Iowa..in my opinion..is the greatest thing ever. I’m not sure what it is to be honest. Its so bassy. Just soooo much bass. Dark dark atmosphere. As someone who was there from the start, I go back and fourth with the first two being my favorite slipknot albums. And can agree when vol 3 came out I was beyond let down. When I was in high school, I think I watched the disasterpieces dvd over 500 times. No joke.

[davidburns]

The End, So Far is pretty damn good. It's growing on me with each listen. The only Slipknot album I don't like much is All Hope Is Gone.

S: Iowa, Slipknot, Vol. 3-The Subliminal Verses
A: We Are Not Your Kind, The End So Far
B: .5: The Gray Chapter
C: All Hope Is Gone

[Aiden-qrbu]

Not a huge fan of Vol. 3 The Subliminal Ververses, I like a few songs there, but Iowa and their debut album were PURE MASTERPIECES. But scince their album "The Grey Chapter" every album just sounded the same to me. They release new albums and songs every once in a while, but other than that notning really changed. Joey was a game changer in Slipknot, and once he left the scene got really dull for me. I still am a huge fan of Slipknot, though. I just mainly listen to their first two albums. Yet, I do still like some songs later on like "Red Flag, " and their single "All Out Life" personally.

[howardstrutt]

Grey chapter was my first slipknot album back when i was 16. listening to it now it isnt as good as i remember it, but the first 3 albums absolutely slap for me.

[downscreen]

Good stuff man. Slipknot was a good gateway band into heavier metal for me, but I've moved beyond them. Maybe I'll give it a listen. Slipknot definitely has a lot of good hooks in their songs, so I'll give them that. The live version of People=shit used to be one of my main gym songs back in the day.

[brodybazzini]

My favorite slipknot album is the subliminal verses. Probably not their best. But I like almost all of it
