Apr 25, 2021Easily one of the best albums I have listened to, it is consistently good to start to finish. The album shows that Slipknot can do more than just metal with songs like Vermillion Pt.2. I highly recommend it.
-
Feb 24, 2020Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot.
-
Sep 15, 2019This album have some Really good musics, such as Duality, Before I forget, Circle, The Blister Exists & Vermillion (1 and 2), but the rest of the musics are not that good.

Jul 16, 2018Yes, that's what I need. Stably good sound.
"Before I Forget" - favorite driving track.
"Vermilion Pt. 2" - the best light track. -
Mar 16, 2018I have been listening to Slipknot for over a decade and this is the album that I come back to year after year. It is by far the best album of theirs from start to finish.
-
Feb 2, 2017Saying this album is weird is an understatement, this album is a genre fuse of various experimental styles of rock and metal. One of the most progressive metal album ever to come out, crafted to perfection. Slipknot at their best even 'till this date.

Jan 12, 2016Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) by Slipknot. A german review.
Wahnsinn. Das dritte Werk der Maskenmänner bietet alles was die Fans sich erhofft haben.
Mehr ist dazu nicht zu sagen. Wahrscheinlich das beste Werk bis dato: 10/10 -
Oct 28, 2015I was surprised when i listened some of the songs from this album for the first time,i didn't expect slipknot to release songs like vermillion pt 2 and circle,but i **** loved them.
This is the band most experimental work, it sounds great, it's creative and like we're used to, it doesn't sound like anything else that the band has released. Slipknot is truly one of the best bands in metal history. -

Sep 9, 2015Definitely good. Not as dark as previous albums, but I could still get an emotional connection with it. Definitely worth buying it. Not my first pick, but definitely not my last.

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.
-
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)

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.

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.
-
-
TannerC.Jul 13, 2008The solos,lyrics,and pretty much everything about this album is amasing.

BigPipMar 14, 2008Firstly, a message to DeMarcus B: pro·fuse
-
-
JustinB.Dec 2, 2007This is a great album and hopefully a sign of things to come from Slipknot.
-
-
jackbMar 8, 2007This is their best album so far. The strange thing about it is the lack of a certain four letter word, usualy freely used by Corey Taylor. It has an interesting composition of loud and quiet, making it a very memorable album. It gives the impression that the band have really matured, and that their next album will really be something special. Stay (sic) my maggots.

thomaswFeb 2, 2007not as good as Slipknot but definetly one hell of an album! you've got to love three nil, man. kick ass!

-
-
asdf;lkjFeb 21, 2006Amazing Band. Much more melodic then their previous albums, with amazing singing from the lead singer Corey Taylor. Accoustic songs on the album will apease just about anyone. Fantastic Drummer also. 10/10
-
-
JonathanGDec 28, 2005Slipknot is one of my favorite bands. i think that this is truly ther best album ever.YOU GUYS KICK ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
VassiliZDec 24, 2005This CD rox and i am listening their music right now.....just cant wait for VOL.4
-
-
TylerDec 5, 2005This album fucking roxors. This is some of the best musical talent out there in the rock/metal world, no matter what those soft-ass pop folk will say. Dynamic contrasts in some of the songs are awesome.
-
-
CorpusNov 23, 2005The best album ive heard, this album has hardcore headbanging songs and songs with acoustic melodies. it has everything, all you fuckers who think this album sucks need to realise what a proper band sounds like, and it dosent get any better than this.
-
-
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.

ToddHApr 20, 2005this cd is a 10 - 10. who cares what those piece of shit guys that work for magazines say. they dont even listen to this shit so they should have no say. for now on when they decide to review a cd they need to ask the fans or at least the people who listen to metal. not some gay ass fuck head who beats off to elton john.

-
dustinmApr 12, 2005awesome cd, only problem is the horrible song "Circle" it has no melody at all, nor is it loud
-
-
ElvisPresleyMar 29, 2005You cant trust a frickin reviewer with music...especially like "alternative press"...its what u like not some old guy in a room with a boombox...I think this CD KICKS ASS! and I like all the songs! if u like Slipknot go buy the frickin CD!
-
-
ThatguywhoratedthisalbumMar 24, 2005Notice how nobody has given this album a low rating yet? That's because it's some of the best stuff out there right now. Both the insane guitar skills shown in "Pulse of the Maggots" and "Welcome" and the very nice drumming in "Three Nil" and "The Blister Exists" show that Slipknot are musical geniuses.
-
-
pulse_of_the_maggotsMar 9, 2005Yeah...This album kicked the siht out of most metal albums.I recommended it to all of my friends and i recommend it to you too. Brilliant use of guitars and base but the lyrics are a slight let down from the better than 10/10 album iowa.
-
-
DanielLMar 8, 2005Well isn't this metal? A band that can combine quiet and extremely heavy metal into one song surely deserves some credit. My favorite has to be "the blister exists" but apart from all else, slipknot deserves a much earned rest. This album surely would have tested them as much as it rocked the music industry in the US of A. Deftones MAY have a little competition here.
-
-
Opeth(wreath)Jan 26, 2005Great album, really good metal in it mixing in with melody i think its there best album. Im hoping for more like this.
-
-
ZackJDec 28, 2004This album was bad! My most favorite part about it was duality when they where busting out windows and all that stuff. One other thing that was really kool was when the evil clown (with a baseball bat) was helping the drummer play drum (but on a larger drum.)Yet i have watch the music video soo many time that i'd reather talk about it than the real CD itself.
-
-
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.
-
-
mrstabbyDec 5, 2004i have to say this rules, its a pity they arent doing another one because they may have become a great band, this is ten times better than that iowa shit, i dont give 2 shts if theyve mellowed out, mellow is good, they couldve been better than metallica. cunts
-
-
GRNov 29, 2004This is by far their best album yet. As rolling stone said, they've finally married some beauty to their beast. The guitar is thrashing as usual with complex riffs and solos, and Corey Taylor doesn't scream every lyric this time and he shows that yes, he CAN sing and he can sing very well. Great album
-
-
JoshSNov 16, 2004Its a brilliant album with a good mixture of pop metal brought in but with very similar thrashy music and hints of mature progression into a settled alternative rock/metal . overall it shows theyre capability of expanding shows their maturity its a shame this is their last album
-
-
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

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
-
-
TylerBSep 28, 2004By far their best album
-
-
AD12Sep 13, 2004Slipknot is one of the greatest nu-metal bands ever! Their third album is different than previous ones. However, duality is just as great as left behind and wait and bleed... All of their 3 albums are masterpieces in their time...
-
-
NathanTSep 4, 2004This album shows that slipknot can go in any direction it chooses and still do it better than anyone else out there.
-
-
joshdAug 8, 2004this cd is awesome. one of slipknots best 1s. listen 2 all the tracks and c wut the guys from iowa have.
-
-
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
-
-
BobCJul 17, 2004The slow songs reaaaallly suck, if I want good slow songs I'll pop In Radiohead, the rest is FUCK, the best song is 13 no doubt. Get it!
-
-
KILLJul 6, 2004Big departure from previous efforts, but still packs a punch!

jacobfJul 5, 2004i thought it was better than iowa but i wished it had more fast drumming song didn't like the slow songs

AlbertoGJun 30, 2004I liked this CD since I am a big fan of Slipknot and love every single song since the their first album and love a their work I hope they keep together and make more music
-
-
DevGJun 30, 2004Man this rocked!!! Adicting, man.
-
-
LegionJun 28, 2004I still think their best CD is Iowa, but even though Iowa is my favourite i think that "Vol 3. (The Subliminal Verses) is real close to become my new favourite though. Their style of music seems to be a bit diffrent, but Slipknot is still the best. Always has and always will. So, the CD "Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses)" is worth the price (in my o'pinion). So buy the fucking album.
-
-
DiegoTJun 28, 2004It's like the second 1,awesome and true music
-
-
ClaudiaMJun 22, 2004I think this album is as good as their first two or if not better.
-
-
davidaJun 21, 2004i like all the songs, and i hope slipknot doen't break up because they would be losing a lot of fans who love them and their music, like me for instance.
-
-
JessicamJun 15, 2004i would have to say i am impressed with slipknot i have been listening 2 the insance and vilolent music for about the bast 2-3 years and this beats all with there new and imporoved songs cory has outdone himslef with his sing as he did in his other band Stone sour keep it up guys you ROCK!
-
-
LangstonCJun 13, 2004I absolutely loved this CD. Perhaps their best, in my opinion. It mixes the heavy tracks of Iowa into some new ones ("The Blister Exists", "Before I Forget"), with some melody with Vermilion parts 1 and 2, and Circle. It even has the obligatory creepy track, The Virus of Life.

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

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]
