Slipknot explicit_lyrics

It was sometime between January and March of 2000. I recall being home from school, lying on the couch, the TV on to help alleviate my illness. MTV's Return of the Rock, I believe, was the program I was watching. A band, quite unlike any I had ever seen before, were co-hosting. I recall a Clown, specifically, but the other two members slip my mind (I believe Corey and Joey, but I could be incorrect.) The Clown had punched the host of the show in the head. They had a certain persona to them. They were far from what I was used to, being extremely into Hanson a few years prior, and then slowly spiraling the easily accessible hard rock world with 311, Korn, Orgy, and Limp Bizkit.The video for Wait and Bleed appeared. The song sounded slightly familiar, but my attention was squarely drawn to the live video of nine musicians pushing the envelop. The song struck a chord. The video left an imprint. I became fixated. I remember, with very little difficulty, buying Slipknot's self-titled debut from Wal-Mart, unedited. I thought I was getting away with murder, having that album in my possession. I opened the packaging carefully, I put it in my CD player, and a life molded by Slipknot became my destiny.From the electronic and chaotic introduction that feels to last longer than its short running time, I was thrown into the first true personal experience with Slipknot. When (SIC) began, it jolted me. It was fast, and heavy, and loud, and mesmerizing. Never before had my young self experienced such a frantic display of musicianship, and as I tried to follow along with the lyrics sheet, I let myself be transported to Iowa. Seeing the dreary state through the music of these gentlemen. It wasn't hard, as I was living in an unincorporated town in Wisconsin. I felt it. I felt the aggression. I felt the tension. I felt a connection.Eyeless played. Then Wait and Bleed. Surfacing. Spit It Out. I was assaulted via this brash cacophony with no break. Tattered & Torn finally came on, and instead of a nice respite, I was quickly jaunted to a terrifying and dark corner that made me uneasy. Track by track played, with little time to catch myself. By the end of Scissors, I saw the timer continue to count down. I fast forwarded until I heard a bunch of guys just messing around. I heard the people who had created such an influential part of my being. Thinking this was a wrap, the opening squelch of Eeyore came about and I was not done. It was not over. One of my favorite tracks of the album, at the time, was a hidden track. I had spent an hour and change listening to what would become, even seventeen years later for me, the most important album of my life.While Slipknot has always battled with commonfolk saying they are vile, disgusting, and should be banned, the Metal community had always condemned them for being too accessible. After years of diving deep into the labyrinth of Metal sub-genres, I still find that, while my interests have spiraled far from the center that began in 1998, Slipknot is still, for me, an album that I can listen to time and time again and still feel as connected as I did when I was a wee boy of eleven years young.I recall listening to this album in bed day after day, learning each individual piece that made each track come to life. I was inspired to pick up playing bass because of this album, which changed to guitar after an accident that rendered my left arm only half usable, and then transitioned into drums. I spent a year wearing only Slipknot shirts, the only member of my young grade who was interested in music of this type. While I felt alienated, I felt accepted even against where my interests lie and I spent what time I could having people see what was so explosive and astonishing about the group. While most didn't much care, there were some that were converted.Eighteen years after its debut, I feel like this album is still one of the most important of the past twenty years, and while Slipknot has shared massive success, loss, heartbreak, and difficulties, they are still headlining sold out festivals and giving the same amount of blood, sweat, and tears as they did back when they changed my life.

It's been ten years of complete madness, and Slipknot never seems to dissapoint. When Slipknot decided to re-release their first (and possibly greatest) album, it was like 1999 again. I preordered a copy in less than a minute, waiting for it to arrive. Once again, Slipknot didn't dissapoint.For all you guys who bought the first album, don't worry; the CD is not just the original with some "Thank you" letter by the band. The CD contains 15 original tracks from the first album (including Purity), the re-released track "Me Inside" when Purity was removed, Get This, both "Spit it Out" remixes ("Stamp You Out" and "Hyper"), (sic) mole injected remix, Wait and Bleed Terry Date mix, and four demos (Wait and Bleed, Snap, Interloper, and Despise). The original album recieves 5 stars on its own, the best songs being Spit it Out, Wait and Bleed, Surfacing, (sic), and Eeyore. The remixes are interesting, seeing what someone else could do with the song, and the demos are awesome while you can see how they sounded like in their younger years. The only problem with the CD is that Frail Limb Nursery is not on the album. This track was removed along with Purity, but while Purity got re-released, Frail Limb Nursery some how never appeared. I don't know why, I thought the 10 year anniversary would include every single song, but the song is only less than a minute, so it's very easy to forget about. All in all, 10/10.The CD also includes a DVD, which is actually two movies in one, plus four music videos. Of the (Sic) is the first movie, which is a documentary of the band with a commentary by Shawn "Clown" Crahan. The film is very interesting and shows how the band was like back in 1999-2000. I'd give it a 8/10. (Warning: The opening is a one minute scene of a bandmate throwing up. If you have an uneasy stomach, skip through this part). The second movie is a whole entire live show of the band in Dynamo 2000. The show plays 7426, (sic), Eyeless, Wait and Bleed, No Life, Liberate, Purity, Prosthetics, Spit it Out, Get This, and Surfacing. The concert is pretty good (it's no Disasterpieces though), and the band seems to know what they're doing, the crowd seems extremely pumped, and it's definetly a good movie for all of the Maggots out there. I think it disserves a 9/10. Lastly, there are all four music videos: Spit it Out, the original and claymation version of Wait and Bleed, and the ultra rare music video for Surfacing. Spit it Out consists of the band playing the song, while it also contains shots of the band parodying "The Shining". Wait and Bleed's orginal video consists of live footage of the band playing the song, but with a music dub of the Terry Date mix. The claymation Wait and Bleed shows a man creating clay Slipknot figures, but they come to life and attack the man. Surfacing is a live show of the band playing, being similar to Wait and Bleed (it's probably the same show), but instead it actually plays the live song, showing you how it sounds live. The music videos are great and deserve a 10/10. The DVD is an average of 9/10.To conclude, Slipknot 10 Year Anniversary is a great album and a must have for any Slipknot fan. If yoou just got interested in the band, this is the right CD for you. 10/10

Absolutely love this!!

This album is legendary. I’ve been listening to it online for a couple months now, and buying that CD gave me more of a raw approach of the album & the sound. My all time favourite album & purchase.

Love it! I have the special editions of their first 3 albums which are their best albums in my opinion! Arrived sooner than expected and it's brand new!

The CD ran perfectly, but after Scissors was over, the time just kept going so I thought Eeyore was going to be a hidden track, but it never played. Nonetheless, an awesome album

Definitely one of Slipknots best albums! Cd quality is pretty good, but the image behind the cd scared me when I first saw it, so I guess be cautious of that lmao
