It's undoubtedly a great album, but it has never fully convinced me, perhaps because there's too much Bob Ezrin, a talented producer whose extensive influence tends to create sounds that lean a bit too much towards the orchestral and the grandiose (see Berlin or The Wall), whereas I prefer the less horror-infused but more twisted and garage Alice Cooper from his earlier records (and masterpieces) Love It to Death, Killers, and School's Out!

The speech flows smoothly, but if Patton hadn't been so versatile, an album like this would have been unthinkable. In fact, 90% or more of rock singers wouldn't be able to sing songs of this kind with the ease that he does. Then melodically, the same Patton as a soloist has followed quite closely in the wake of this album...

Yes, this is the best one, the one with the most fascinating atmosphere. It may seem strange, but I would readily label it "class and elegance," which is a great merit for a death metal album.

sure that lux has written a lot of bullshit, especially about mr bungle

and yet even run run run is filthy, dirty, and almost dissonant in the guitar solos... truly a masterpiece, perhaps one of the few real masterpieces where, for once, the big words of critics and the unanimous consent actually make sense...

Then when you tell me where you see the pop rock in "had to leave," write it here. It has a riff that's almost doomy and decadent. There's a good bit of melody in this album; that doesn't make it any less successful...

To a lot of audiences, Slipknot is an underrated band. Now, I haven't listened to this album or Vol. 3, and I probably won't, but I know their self-titled debut pretty well, especially Iowa, which many have misunderstood due to the label of nu-metal that has been attached to it. In reality, Iowa already showcased a brutality in the sound, with various Slayer-esque riffs and influences from death metal, along with a personal and non-derivative melodic vein, making it a disservice to categorize them in an ephemeral and meteoric genre like nu-metal. Nothing exceptional, but songs like "people=shit" or "disasterpiece" are among the most brutal and bone-crushing tracks that metal has given us in the last decade. Everyone can be good at being aggressive and playing the bad guy, but doing it in a personal and original way is something few manage to achieve. Then, they annoy me a bit with their masks and all the theatrics they bring along, but they have produced great works, including the self-titled album, which can appeal even to those who aren't metalheads. A great band for teenagers and post-teens.

Certo, invia pure il testo e procederò con la traduzione.

yes, sorry tremonti is the guitarist ;-)

they are not useless at all and furthermore they have nothing to do with Pearl Jam, even if the singer Tremonti has a voice very similar to Vedder's, but the similarities stop there; for the rest, Creed is much more metallic than Pearl Jam, and even the melodic taste is quite different. I remember purchasing this album because the subsequent "Weathered" had excited me, yet in the end it's one of the albums I've listened to the least in my discography, except for a few songs, in fact, it didn’t say much to me. But the next one is a varied, melodic album, but also with guitar blasts that you wouldn't expect from a band like that. Nothing exceptional, but they are good.
