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

    when i first heard this cd, i laughed, thinking it was a complete joke. no one could "write" (for lack of better terms) this music and think they are doing anything for anybody. well i stand corrected, they are a very serious band out there to keep little tasteless media whores happy by trying to buy records that aren't "mainstream." this album is not only mainstream, it's when i first heard this cd, i laughed, thinking it was a complete joke. no one could "write" (for lack of better terms) this music and think they are doing anything for anybody. well i stand corrected, they are a very serious band out there to keep little tasteless media whores happy by trying to buy records that aren't "mainstream." this album is not only mainstream, it's mainstream shit. for the love of god, please tell this band that they suck… Expand

    A 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!

    I 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.

    I was totally disappointed with this album. I am a huge fan of Iowa, so I was shocked to hear this CD. I think that they sold out. You can't wear crazy masks, call yourself metal, and sing girly songs!

    Slipknot's Vol 3: (The Subliminal Verses, is an overall pleonastic experience. Listening to this was one of the most profuse moments of my entire life. This album is trite. Don't but this.

    The monster-chomp guitars and semiauto percussion are still in effect, but somebody spilled a little Pantene in the Pantera. [Jul 2004, p.108]

    The basic Slipknot sound has improved. [#27, p.147]

    Plays out like a tepid, second-rate version of Iowa, which pretty much makes it a third-rate anything else. [Jul 2004, p.142]
