This is what can be read when the barcode of the intro "742617000027" decrypted. A nod to the first album of the band which 1) was added to a completely different Bestzung and 2) still partly a completely different style (such as Funk Rock) included. But the words could not fit better on this appeared in 1999 Major-Debut of Slipknot. When the band was in 1998 began with the recording of this record already jumped more than half the original MFKR pickup. What remains were only Joey Jordison (drums), Shawn "Clown" Crahan (percussion), Paul Gray (bass) and Josh Brainard (guitar), who was replaced after the publication by James Root. After these 4 were still up 5 other Halfway psychopaths, they started everything had hitherto made on MFKR and the demo "Crowz" accommodate new and better. The result is one of the hardest, sickest and most nu metal plates there is. Slipknot fight here more than an hour with hard guitar riffs, murderous DJ work and fantastic drum sound (especially enhanced by the 2 percussions) mercilessly on a a. The only thing that bothers a little is the lack of innovation in the guitar (three chords for a whole album?), But alone makes it the shouter / singer Corey Taylor up for the terrific shows here what it means to "the hell out of screaming "body. That's why all one or the other is perhaps most like pure noise. But you have to admit that it is very innovative and damn horny noise. Unfortunate it is that one of the best Slipknot songs "Purity" was taken from the album is. Nevertheless, can be found on the plate enough classics that make it Slipknot's best.

Conclusion:
"Slipknot" is in my opinion Slipknot's toughest, sickest and therefore best record. Never psychopathy and anger on an album was better combined. Unfortunately, later lost the Psycho-esque Slipknot so on later albums was only anger. Precisely why 5 star. Buy recommendation? Yes!
