Rating: THE REVIEW
This is definitely the worst album I've ever listened to in my life. Take the Backstreet Boys, give them guitars, and put masks on them, and you'll get the same result. Rock has been dead and buried for a long time, and albums like this only confirm it. To break into the mainstream today, all you need is a good image, outrageous luck, an excellent manager, and, of course, to be well-connected (but that's not new). Now you no longer need to know how to play or sing; you just need to appeal to the fake-angry babies who think they're alternative just because they believe that by torturing their ears, they become "connoisseurs" of music (music?? just saying, let's not kid ourselves).
Congratulations, congratulations to these clowns and to that sausage of shit, my son, who does nothing but praise them. Now I ask myself: if I throw a piano down the stairs, recording everything and putting it on the music market, do you think I would manage to sell anything? I really think so; I'd compete with these 9 idiots and become my son's idol. One last thing: that song called Left behind... is it by any chance a cover of Take That?

Our masked prophets have returned with the same charge of malice-violence and hatred that has always distinguished them.
Slipknot hit us with the rage and violence necessary to survive in today’s world. A continuous "fuck you" to the world! YOHOAAAA!!!

An absolutely INDIRECT way to express a small, very small discomfort towards society.
Only mentally deviated people like them could come up with the idea of creating anthems of fury like "Disasterpieces", "PEOPLE=SHIT" and "Left Behind".
By Devin Davis
Iowa is undoubtedly one of the most violent albums of the last five years.
Corey Taylor expresses himself greatly in every song, moving from very harsh rhythms to a calmer, less angry voice.
By Er Ribelle
"All the songs (and I mean all of them...) are characterized by extremely heavy and pounding riffs."
"The songs are heavy, but repetitive to the point of nausea."
By Roughfica
The sound of Iowa is as dull and stupid as the booklet...
Iowa is only good for the soundtrack of a hypothetical horror-porn-gory-rubbish movie starring Del Piero!
