Sep 9, 2023There's no reason whatsoever to listen to ear wrenching music that only impressionable idiots listen to. if I could give it a score below zero I would.

Jan 22, 2023One of the most hardcore, successful metal albums of all time.
Take a look inside...my soul is missing...
Disasterpiece -
Nov 9, 2021U can say everything u want about this truly masterpiece. But there's a real fact, this is the most dark-brutal mainstream album, Iowa mainstream the death metal like you or not i don't give a **** this is a true fact Slipknot mainstream the death metal, that's why this is a ****ing masterpiece and the best metal album of all time.
All the hate towards the humanity in one album. -
Jun 3, 2022Slipknot at their best and angriest! This albums has absolutely zero points where you get bored, it's just an exhilarating, unrelenting masterpiece of death metal from start to finish. Standout tracks include "Disasterpiece" and "New Abortion". A truly great metal album and one of the best albums of the 2000s
-
Sep 8, 2021This is an amazing record. Songs like People = **** The Heretic Anthem, Left Behind are awesome.
-
May 3, 2021I didn't love this album as I did with the self-titled album and The Subliminal verses but it is still really good.
Left behind is easily the best. -
Apr 6, 2020Iowa is the heaviest album of Slipknot maybe this album made them on of the biggest, and legendary metalband in the history. 10/10 atmospheric, and heavy.

Jan 11, 2020Tiene muchas canciones buenas, buen ritmo, y las letras son muy crudas y realistas

Sep 15, 2019Man, this album is Very good, songs like People = **** The Shape & Disasterpiece are a exemples of pure caos, but for me, after "The Shape", the album os getting boring
-
Aug 12, 2019Second of best of the best albums so far. Brutal, agressive. Vocal tears apart, drums break bones. Absolutely fantastic !

Jul 14, 2019This is the bands best album. The sheer aggressiveness of songs like 'People = **** and 'The Shape' make this the heaviest album the band has ever put together with the perfect amount of melodic, breather moments sprinkled throughout
-
Oct 2, 2018Absolutely great hands down. Those critics... they don't know what they're talking about.
-
Jul 16, 2018A worthy album. Half of the tracks are mediocre, the second half is good. It's hard to choose one thing, the top tracks are about the same level.

Mar 12, 2018Easily Slipknot's best album. It is heavy and angry and in-your-face. If you don't love brutally heavy music, you won't think this is their best album.
-
Mar 6, 2018This is Slipknot’s best record yet. Left behind is the only mainstream material ... the rest is art. This should be on every collection ... or every household should have one in their shelves
-
Jul 29, 2016**** all the critics and **** calling this album an effort to scare mom and dad. This is a masterpiece of a metal album. This is Slipknots greatest. There is no rest for the listener and while listening Corey Taylor, the singer, he lets you in on some of his inner secrets and pains giving an emotional and disturbing feel to the album. 10 out of 10

Apr 18, 2016Arguably nu-metal's finest offering. It's the darkest, heaviest and by far the scariest album I've heard from the genre, and Slipknot's greatest album by far. It invites you in swiftly with its shout-along lyrics, catchiness, and tortured demeanour, which shines through especially on "Gently" "Skin Ticket" and the 15-minute title track. It's simply timeless.

Jan 12, 2016Iowa by Slipknot. A german review.
Das 3. Album der Maskenmänner versprüht alles was man erwartet: Dunkelheit, Schnelligkeit, Härte und Krankheit. Slipknot eben.
Insgesamt: 9/10 -

Sep 9, 2015This is the best follow up album ever written. **** is absolutely brutal and the title track has the most painful, burning passion I've ever heard in a Slipknot song. Definitely the best Slipknot album in my book.
-
Oct 27, 2014I dont no why this album is so low! everybody says its slipknots best album yet, they give it a 3!!!.....but anyway this is probably slipknots beast album..... Its Very Heavy and its really dark!

Feb 18, 2014Arguably one of the most brutal heavy metal albums out there, mainly because the band did not just paint this as a ridiculous attempt to make as much noise as possible or simulating monster growls. The brutality is also contrasted by melodies and singing throughout the album. Not as creative as their self-title album or Vol.3, but definitely a good album to listen to.
-
Oct 27, 2013This album seriously sucks bad. The self titled debut album was refreshing, new and exciting. IOWA however is formulated, forced and a little embarrassing. Overproduced garbage.
-
Mar 15, 2013Iowa is generally good, but is the worst album of Slipknot.
Why? because it is too noisy little bit formal and exepcional.
It has good songs and good use of the instruments and grunts, but in the end went wide, nothing compared to his previous work, hopefully to give us something better later.
Awards & Rankings
-
Iowa boldly follows up, notching maximum body blows in its unyielding production, while maintaining an odd grandeur in its professed pain and anguish, its struggle for individualism.
-
After too many calls for the end of humanity and playing the Satan card a few times, all the yelling becomes little more than a humorless joke.
-
'Iowa' is a fantastic metal record, ferocious and inventive, but their rage is that of psychotic adolescents rather than reasoning adults. You'll love it!
