Rating: Many believe that the first album by Slipknot is their self-titled one from 1999, but it's important to correct those who believe this because the first album by Slipknot, even if semi-official, is "Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat." from 1996. I don't know why this album is considered semi-official, maybe because the songs aren't sung by Corey Taylor but by another person of Italian origin (I don't remember the name).
The CD opens with the song "Slipknot" and continues with "Gently," which I think is the version that's on "Iowa." The third song on this album is "Do Nothing (Bitchslap)," which is an absurd song, as in the first part it unveils good Brutal Death Metal and in the second part, it almost mixes Jazz with Electronica, and the results are better left uncommented. The next two songs, "Only One" & "Tattered And Torn," I'm not sure how to define them; anyway, I don't like them. Song number 6 is "Confessions," and it's not terrible, but in my opinion, the most Rock or Metal song of the CD, along with the first "Slipknot," is "Some Feel." This is a nice song. The closing songs of the CD are "Killers Are Quiet" & "Dogfish Rising." Of these two, the most inexplicable is the second one, because it doesn't make sense. For 9.52 minutes there's the usual sound with someone talking.
In short, this CD sucks quite a bit, except for "Slipknot" & "Some Feel." If you don't find it at your trusted music store, don't worry because you're not missing anything. Instead, buy their self-titled from 1999, "Iowa" from 2001, "Vol.3: (The Subliminal Verses)" from 2004, and the live album from 2005 "Slipknot: 9.0 Live."
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
01 Slipknot (06:55)
Pentex sucks
Pentex sucks
They drain the lifeforce of my tribe
Pentex sucks!
Bonegnawers suck
Bonegnawers suck
They roll around in garbage bins
All Bonegnawers suck!
(Pentex bleeding night is dawning)
The Black Hand sucks
The Black Hand sucks
Those wyrm-tainted bastard leeches
Black Hand sucks!
If I had my way
If I had my way
I'd rend them all, ripped and torn
All that sucks dies!
(Sweet smell bleeding glow is melting me)
I bring my Klaive into battle
Shifting into Crinos
I slay Wyrmfoe
Then I step sideways
You can't see me for I hide within the Umbra
You can't see me for I hide within the Umbra
You can't see me for I hide within the Umbra
You can't see me for I hide within the Umbra
02 Gently (05:16)
Gently my mind escapes
Into the relaxing world of pleasure
A pleasure that will take my mind
Off the realities of my life
My past life
Life as I know it now
And whatever may come, it slowly disappears
To somewhere in the back of my mind
It will remain there
Until I wish to retrieve it
Yes, I will stay here for awhile
For I need the break
A break from the pressures of life
And everything that lays in the palm of life's hands
Life's hands
Yeah!
This mode is incredible
It's out of this world
Too bad I must always leave it now
That's life (That's life)
That's life (That's life)
That's life (That's life)
That's life (That's life)
Shift
Shift
Shift
Yeah Shift
03 Do Nothing / Bitchslap (04:19)
The system has failed
And you have failed with it
No time to care
Just time to say who gives a shit?
My mind boils
As I've decided I'm through
Fuck your position in life
I'm taking vengeance on you
I break down the walls of the political arena
Cast the vote on FN-FAL, yeah, we'll be seeing ya!
Come on y'all
(Yeah)
I want to put a cap right in your asshole
You step to this, you're gonna pass
For a lump of dogshit in the grass
Now be on your way and get some class
Bitchslap
Bitchslap
Bitchslap
Bitchslap
Bitchslap
Bitchslap
Bitchslap
Bitchslap
(Man, you're like a school in the summer, no class)
Chop down the big-wigs
Shoot the televisions, too
My mind boils in life
As I've decided I'm through
The guilty of crimes
Will be hung from the trees
Spit and punches arise
From you and me
Sit back and do nothing if that's what you want to do
I will have my reign as king when I take vengeance on you
04 Only One (02:34)
Pain! - Made to order
Pain! - Made to order
Pain! - Made to order
Pain!
I'm not the second coming, I'm the first wave
Better get an army, 'cause the fire left me unscathed
You betcha bottom dollar I'm the top of the shit pile
So stick around 'cause I'll get to you in just a few
Step off the achtung, get back or get stung
Idiotic sense of yourself, are you that dumb?
Entire legion of me, totalitarian
The one and only muthafucka, top of the world man
'Cause I can't stand it, planned it, gonna crash land it
In other words, consider me branded
Another version of me, another version of you
Both barrels - What you gonna do?
All I hear is human noise
You made your own fucking choice
I belong to only me
Silence for my revelry
I can only die over time
Filthy hands, stay away from mine
Every reason is a right to hate
Painful clutch - Death is fine, gimme mine
Only one of us walks away
Only one of us walks away
Only one of us walks away
Only one of us walks away
Somebody explain this
You don't care 'cause you don't exist
What the fuck is this another joke?
Reckoning!
Only one of us walks away
Only one of us walks away
Only one of us walks away
Only one of us walks away
Only one of us walks away
Only one of us walks away
Only one of us walks away
Only one of us walks away
05 Tattered & Torn (02:37)
Tattered and torn
Something aches
Tattered and torn
Bad things slither
Tattered and torn
My floors are burning
Tattered and torn
And I can't find a window
Tattered and torn
This is medieval
Tattered and torn
This is cerebral
Tattered and torn
Suffocated
Tattered and torn
Melodramatic
Tattered and torn
Driven to the verge of
Tattered and torn
I make you my enemy
Tattered and torn
The nerves you sever
Tattered and torn
Can serve you better
Tattered and torn
In the blink of an eye
Tattered and torn
In the space of a second
Tattered and torn
Open my wrists
Tattered and torn
Give me my lessons
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt!
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt!
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt!
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me!
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt!
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt!
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt!
Tearing myself apart
From the things that make me hurt!
06 Confessions (05:04)
I know you don't want to see
I know you're not part of me
But you wonder just the same
So I'll let you in on this game
What's on the top is just the beginning of the protectorate
That keeps Gaea spinning
It never ends, and with the gifts Luna sends to the apocalypse
On we defend for the right to live in a perfect world
For our past mistakes, extinction we are hurled
Trying to make amends for the Impergium,
as Weaver and the Wyld and a bitch called the Wyrm
(You don't want to know)
All the power of the Wyld that runs through me
Yet the reason why is an answer that eludes me
(You don't want to see)
Our viewpoint on what hobbits are doing
That black inside when frenzy is brewing
(You don't want to feel)
The sorrow that my heart holds in knowing
Just where my hopes and dreams are going
(I won't let you be)
Caught up in a war that you are not part of
I sign this letter Your Father, With Love
I'm trying to set my mind free
I'm sorry you never knew me
My soul is in recession
Painful to make this confession
(You don't want to know)
All the power of the Wyld that runs through me
Yet the reason why is an answer that eludes me
(You don't want to see)
Our viewpoint on what hobbits are doing
That black inside when frenzy is brewing
(You don't want to feel)
The sorrow that my heart holds in knowing
Just where my hopes and dreams are going
(I won't let you be)
Caught up in a war that you are not part of
I sign this letter Your Father, With Love
Love!
07 Some Feel (03:36)
Some feel I don't exist
Never believing in what they see
Some feel that I'm not fair
I leave no time for repentance
Tearing the vail
Mending the vail
Tearing the vail
Tearing the vail
Mending the vail
Tearing the vail
Some feel I bare the mark of man
A misguided philosophy
Some feel I kill for fun
I kill for life
I can't escape what Gaia's left for me
I can't deny the lack of morality
I can't believe (No) what Gaia's left for me (More)
I can't escape (No) the lack of morality (Less)
Need time to think, need time to think
Need to spill blood, so I can drink
Take what they give, take what they give
Some feel I'm dead, yet still I live
Need time to think, need time to think
Need to spill blood, so I can drink
Take what they give, take what they give
Some feel I'm dead, yet still I live
No
They don't know I'm eternal
They don't know they're just cattle
They don't know I'm eternal
Eternal
