Slipknot - Iowa
Reviewed by heyrevolver
Corey Taylor is angry, Slipknot is angry, and everyone on this planet is just as angry inside at some point in his or her life, no doubt. If you disagree with any part of that first sentence, you probably won't like Slipknot, so stop reading now please. For the rest of us, want some therapy for a low cost of only $12 for unlimited anger management sessions? Just go pick yourself up a copy of "Iowa" by Slipknot. This is Slipknot's second album. I thought after the first CD that nothing could get any more crunchy, heavy, smelly, fat, thick, or disgusting as the first effort from the 9 angry men from Iowa. Now, 5 months after the CD was released, I realize that "Iowa" blows their debut away. I'm not kidding. You think I'm kidding, just let 'Disasterpiece' or 'Skin Ticket' kick in with the volume a bit too high on your stereo. No one is safe. There's really nothing more I can say to describe the intensity of everything contained in this record. When I listen to any song of the CD it makes my insides turn, my blood heat up, and my muscles contract tightly around my skeleton. Let them be angry for you. Being that angry is better left to professionals. [www.slipknot1.com]
