I appreciate Iowa because it showed a much greater attention to try and direct the music a little better.
Debut was just an explosion of sound, Iowa was much more focused and tighter, even if they took a pretty big hit lyrically, some of those choruses just sounded silly.
I never got the 3rd, though I have heard good things.
Slipknot had their moment in the sun and they will return to the relative underground away from the mainstream media.
They're a guilty pleasure of mine, sometimes you just need to turn the brain off and scream along with something. But Jordison is a beast on those drums, Root is pretty talented as well.
