#288 SLIPKNOT Album Review

“Don’t make it weird…”

 

“They all wear jumpsuits, they’re kinda like KISS because you don’t know what they look like, but they kinda look like serial killers because they all have masks on, and you kinda get Purge vibes when you look at it (the album cover), and then you LISTEN to it…”

 

SLIPKNOT as a band is extremely off-putting, exhausting, and quite frankly, disturbing, and their self-titled debut album conveys these qualities in the darkest way possible. The album cover alone is the stuff of horror movies and nightmares, featuring all nine members clothed in red prison jumpsuits with their faces covered in grotesquely disfigured masks: nameless and faceless, with only a number and a barcode to identify them. 

 

Find out more about the latest government study regarding “the medical benefits of bat vagina” and remember that “you’ve never seen Al Gore and Paul Stanley in the same place”.

Discover who knows “how to use the phone”, put on your “Salad Face”, and be sure to “liberate bananas” when you JOIN US as we dive into the angry, uncomfortable darkness that is SLIPKNOT.
