Here are some customer reviews of
Iowa
: This album is what slipknot first album should have been. It s no more korn + pantera style now it s really slipknot style (morbid angel + sepultura) and it sounds f**kin terrible. If u only liked Wait & Bleed in their first album, don t buy IOWA !
 I don't know how anyone can bare to listen to this. You can't even figure out the lyrics and there is no cordination in the music. All I hear is a bunch of screaming, wailing people over junk guitar which plays one chord or at least it seems that way. Do yourself a favour and forget this album and go and listen to some true music such as Metallica, Ozzy, Alice In Chains, Creed or if you please Nirvana.
When i bought the first slipknot album, i liked it, but only for about 3 weeks then i tired of it.About a month ago i started listening to it again, and havent put it down.Now the second CD is out,and i dont know how they did it, but slipknot is angrier and faster than ever before, AND I LOVE IT!If you like slipknot, there should be no doubt in your mind when it comes to picking up this cd.The songs "left behind" "Skin thicket"and "gently" are my favorites and they rest of the album is pure gold.Screw Limp bizkit slipknot rules!
Well it has almpst been a year and IOWA still sounds as brutal and groundbreaking as the day I brought it. I was a fan of Slipknot before the hype and one thing I loved about this band was the fact that they had more of an old school vibe and energy to their sound. If you listen to a lot of Death Metal you can hear the bands that influence them. As it looks like Pantera are ready to call it a day, I can safely say that to me Slipknot are like the new Pantera, in the sense that they did it all on their own merrit. They didn't have big record labels pushing them along and did it from the underground. Enough about that and on to Iowa. Well not a dull moment on the album. I was a little scared when I brought this that it would be more commercial, but Slipknot know all about the metal way of life. I think their age is a bonus. Well done. Where we go from here will be an interesting journey.
When I heard SLIPKNOT for the first time, I thought it was amazing. When I heard they were comin out with a new cd, I didnt think it could be any harder than the first one, but I was completely wrong. IOWA is ten times harder and much more complex in its construction. "Heretic anthem" and "people=s**t" are more old skewl slipknot while "my plague" shows theyre maturing as a band. I guess #0-8 have been practicing over the summer. This album puts slipknot on the track to metal sainthood.
