    Their first two albums have such raw thunderous aggression that I think is unmatched. I absolutely love them. Their newer stuff isn't bad at all, got a few bangers in there but I really miss Joey's drumming. It just wasn't the same.. It sounded more bland or flat overall. Corey's still has his moments but the more stone soury singing turns me off a bit. And Surely they've got some very underrated guitar work across all their albums.

    2.) Anders Colsefni’s name is pronounced (and-ers cul-sef-nee)
    3.) Slipknot had a 2nd album with Anders that was never released and was leaked in 2020. It’s on RUclips and it’s called the SR Audio Gold Disk and it is fucking amazing.

    V3 goes at the top for me. I always found Iowa to be a little too tight sounding, more like something from a standard 5 piece band. In contrast, V3 brings a lot more of Craig and Sid into the mix along with much looser percussion really making it sound like the product of all nine members.
    I’d also put WANYK up there near the top of the list too

    I think Self Titled album deserves another chance. All you've been talking about is Spit It Out. Spit It Out was indeed not as tight as the rest because that was their first demo ever. Spit It Out hyper version is tighter though! But songs like: Wait And Bleed, Surfacing, Sic, Eyelless,... you simply cannot skip. They don't deserve 4th place.

    • @FlyboyHelosim
      @FlyboyHelosim 8 месяцев назад +1

      I feel like self-titled is an experience. It's the only album of theirs that I can play from start to finish without skipping a track. Probably helped by the fact that some of the songs lead into the next ones, such as Tattered & Torn, Frail Limb Nursery, and Purity. Also no two songs sound the same, a truly amazing and diverse set of songs.

    I love Slipknot's entire catalogue.
    On one hand, I love how a lot of us has different opinions on what their favorite songs by them are. Or favorite albums.
    For example; For me, Psychosocial is great, but not even in my top 5 favorite Slipknot songs.
    And I actually love Devil In I and Killpop a lot.
    To the point of the video, though, I have a hard time picking a favorite. Iowa and Vol. 3 are the 2 I go between.
    It's crazy, too, because back then Iowa was WAY too heavy for my taste. I didn't like music that heavy. And I still loved that album. And now that I've gained an appreciation and admiration for much heavier music, I love it that much more.
    Thanks for the video as always, Finn!
