JayPAug 6, 2008Without a doubt a staple in Metal and Music history, the best of the bands current Trilogy this album sets a new bar for the band. Merging both a Dark heaviness with a even darker sense of melody this albums covers both the areas of heavy metal and of passionate expression. This album should not go unheard and for any serious fan of metal or hard rock should not go un-owned.

Nov 17, 2011How this album is rated so low by critics is something I will never know. This album is simply one of the best metal albums out there. Slipknot has established themselves as the leaders of Nu-Metal and Vol. 3 is nothing short of a master piece.

Apr 25, 2013One of the greatest modern metal bands in history pumped out another mayhem fuelled album superbly performed produced and composed. I can't wait to see what they do next

Jun 30, 2012In this album, Slipknot show a different side to the previous 2 albums. The intensity remains, but in different ways. The Blister Exists is a brutal drum-fest, whilst Circle is a calm, sad, melodic effort showing diversity in the band (something that is often not recognised with Slipknot)

Feb 18, 2014Creative. Melodic. Original. Slipknot's maximum potential in one album. One of their best album (if not the best one). It is mastered with brutality and uplifting emotions of sadness, introversion and retrospect. Definitely worth listening to, especially Prelude 3.0, Circle and Welcome.

BobEJun 30, 2004This cd is awful, with the exception of two songs. Rick Rubin has really dumbed down the talent. I was really dissappointed

BrianAug 27, 2004Ah!WTF went wrong here!?Slipknot has traded in their B.C Richs' for acustic guitars.The songs also have lost their intensity,and the "in your face" lyrics that were on IOWA and their ST.I was even more disapointed that this came from Rick Rubin of all people.Very disapointing...

RobbieD.Apr 13, 2005wow slipknot is a joke.......only freaks listen to this shit....

Dec 13, 2012A sold-out band which thinks to make metal, but it doesn't. 8 BAND MEMBERS? A RECORD PLAYER? Is that a joke? A percussion is useless, IMAGINE 2 PERCUSSIONS, like Slipknot have!

DDJun 1, 2004awesome cd. theyve grown up without losing the balls

JPPetersonOct 14, 2004This album is up there. and by up there i mean way up there. i have been listening to it all summer long and still can't get enough. it may be more mellow but the lyrics and guitar and drums and singing seem fake. how do people say it sucks. you suck

ChrisSJun 4, 2004Better in terms of musical diversity yet it lacks the energy of the band's previous offerings.

chuckyoJun 5, 2004this cd is definitely worth buying; it's both intense and catchy

BigDaveJul 10, 2005This album is so awesome-i had all the usual assumptions that slipknot were talentless freaks who screamed over crappy power chords. but how wrong was i!! this album is miles better than IOWA and it should be owned by anyone who has an interest in proper music. genius.

[Anonymous]Aug 28, 2005I honestly can't listen to this crap with a straight face. They're a terrible band on all fronts. This isn't an album. It is, however, a perfect example of how stupid some record companies are. But if you tasteless goth freaks are buying it, go ahead. Someone tell Slipknot they they're making fools of themselves, for their sake and ours.

MattWNov 7, 2004the Self Titled and Iowa kick the shit outta this CD in terms of heavines and brutal lyrics but its not at all a bad cd its just different, so if you couldnt take slipknot before because its so hard and harsh then you might wanna take a look at this, but if you liked ur slipknot the way it was and arnt apt to change

DanielRDec 7, 2004One of the most unique CD's i have ever heard. Unlike anything ever before. Great sound - they have evolved from the basic heavy guitar riffs and into something new.

LiamQJul 30, 2004People moaning about slow songs?? it cannot be thrash death metal all the way through, if it was all heavy it would be dull, I did not like Slipknot at all but this album shows so much maturity in their music, i think its superb

SpinThe monster-chomp guitars and semiauto percussion are still in effect, but somebody spilled a little Pantene in the Pantera. [Jul 2004, p.108]
-
BlenderThe basic Slipknot sound has improved. [#27, p.147]
-
Alternative PressPlays out like a tepid, second-rate version of Iowa, which pretty much makes it a third-rate anything else. [Jul 2004, p.142]
