Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
There's absolutely nothing subliminal about Slipknot's third album, Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses). No, the anger and frustration is pretty much at the forefront throughout the 14 tracks here. But this isn't just blind rage on display--the nine masked men of Slipknot sound more focused than ever, all because they manage to broaden their sound. Best of all, they display a profound awareness of hard rock's heritage and their place within it (helped in no small part by the direction of legendary producer Rick Rubin).

Vol. 3 has hints of Slayer's speed metal (right down to the double-time guitar solo in "Welcome") and Nine Inch Nails' sweeping and meticulously-constructed epics (and, in particular, The Downward Spiral). They even show that they're capable of exercising restraint, applying a delicate touch to the string-laden "Circle" and the piano and acoustic-guitar-led "Vermilion Pt. 2". Mostly, though, Vol. 3 is an organic industrial metal album, mixing sampled sounds and beats with real, rapid-fire drumming and split-second riffing. There's a lot going on here, even on tracks with silly names such as "Pulse of the Maggots". It probably doesn't do them any favours to say that Slipknot are cleverer than they look. But, on Vol. 3 (The Subliminal Verses) they prove themselves cleverer than most of their peers. Quite simply, this is an exceptional metal album. --Robert Burrow




Rating: - If you don't like this....
you're too old - no excuses. This album makes Metallica sound average, dated and out of ideas. The Blister Exists is the best metal tune I've heard in at least a decade - buy it for that if nothing else. This CD is the sonic equivalent of an 18 wheeler crashing through your frontroom while you're eating your tea.

Rating: - I have grown to love this album. It's their best.
Ok I aint a massive fan of Slipknot because i'm more into the 80s metal scene then nu - metal but this album is really good. I didnt like their debut album(it only had 2 good songs), Iowa was a really good album and this album is brilliant. They have gotten alot better at what they do. This is a mixture of Slipknots usual heavy stuff, and a couple a slow ballad type songs, and damn they do it well. The lyrics are brilliant, Corey Taylor as i always knew is an amazing singer and frontman(just check ... Read More

Rating: - a mixture
a mixture of soft and heavy metal (if you like old school heavy slipknot get the debute)

Rating: - yes its good
Its ok really. Im just getting into slipknot and decided to buy this. I have to say that it is ok. Some of the tracks are too slow for me though, such as 'circle' and 'vermillion part 2' and 'danger-keep away'. I do agree that corey is trying to make slipknot into stone sour on these tracks.

The best tracks are 'duality' 'Before i forget' 'pulse of the maggots' and 'the nameless'.

These tracks make me keep on playing the album although i do skip the other tracks.

Rating: - Vol.3 Reborn
Granted if you already own vol.3 you think to yourself whats the point in getting the re release???

well alot of reasons really. This double CD album contains songs that you were only able to get on some of the singles that were released close to the launch of Vol 3 if not them then some different remixes that have never been released and as a Slipknot fan myself i like to hear the different reactions crowds give to them live and that was another reason i wanted to own this album
