Okay i'm brand new to this site and I just wanted to talk about an issue very close to me. Slipknot released their first album on June 29, 1999 which featured hit songs Wait and Bleed, (Sic), Eyeless and Surfacing were some of my favorites. I have posters from that era covering my walls. I anticipated their next album then in 2001 Iowa came out i was blown away by People=Shit and Left behind i simply LOVED it. I started collecting masks, posters and shirts and when news came out of a third album i shit myself. In 2004 I went to my CD store bought the new CD Vol. 3 The Subliminal Versus. I popped it in listened eagerly and said to myself WTF this isn't Slipknot slowly the posters started coming down and Lamb of God posters taking their place on my wall. Now being the maggot i am i kept the posters and bought their 2008 album All Hope is Gone. It wasn't bad (Gemetria) In the Killing Name, All Hope is Gone and Psychosocial but i still wish that for the next album slap that parental advisory symbol back on your CD's and give us the Slipknot we know and love.

people....they only have one explicit album, which happens to be Vol: 3! all hope is gone IS explicit...and its the meaning of the lyrics and the music itself that portrays what the band stands for.  Personally, I prefer songs where they DON'T say the F word over and over again.

slipknot,i think, did a OK job on vol.3 but it isnt "surfacing slipknot" they could hav did a better job on "circle" but they fukking rocked on duality,i give them props for that.All Hope Is Gone waz almost there.It wazt tha slipknot every1 knowz and lovez but on thier song all hope is gone........duuuuude!!! that song fucking rox if they had more songs like that there would be less maggots complaining......

well......griffin waa born in 03 and th ablum waz droped in 04.....i think at that time his son waz more important than tha band.......

Honestly, though, people. Slipknot puts out what they want to put out. THEY'RE the musicians, and WE'RE the fans.
