Top 10 Best Slipknot Albums

The Top Ten

  1. Slipknot

    "The Subliminal Verses" has the best Slipknot songs ("Duality" and "Before I Forget") and more masterpieces that still are on the top of heavy metal, such as "The Nameless" and "The Blister Exists."

    It's difficult to choose. "The Subliminal Verses" has the two best Slipknot songs to me ("Duality" and "Before I Forget"), but this one... I just can't stop listening to it. Every song is mind-blowing. You can feel the adrenaline, headbanging till the end. And of course, it also has brilliant masterpieces almost to the level of the two mentioned ("Eyeless," "Wait and Bleed," "Spit It Out," "(sic)," "Purity"). Definitely, it's the one which has more awesome songs, so it's the best album.

  2. Iowa

    You cannot deny that this album is the best. I love every song on this album. If you want to get to the dark songs from Slipknot, you won't find them in .5, Vol. 3, or MFKR. This is as dark as it gets. The guitars play amazingly, and I love how the masks looked, especially Corey's. And don't say Corey Taylor's mask looked the same. Yes, it did, but I love how they made it a darker shade. They got extremely creative at this time when it came to concerts and music. Hope you agree with me.

    Vol. 3 was a close second, but Iowa takes the cake. For me, something hard to quantify makes it just so intense and brings something up inside me that few other albums can. The riffs, the anger, the production, the lyrics, and just the general quality of musical arrangements and songwriting are top-notch. Like I said, Vol. 3 was close but not quite at the same level for me.

  3. Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses

    One of Slipknot's moodiest, most adventurous, and surprisingly artistic efforts. Also, my favorite. Iowa is a close second. The incorporation of acoustic and melodic elements, with the maintenance of insanely unhinged moments like The Blister Exists and the crescendo of Vermilion, was a brilliant stroke without veering into radio-friendly, overly processed, and easily digestible territory (All Hope is Gone). Danger - Keep Away is one of my favorite tracks of all time.

    This album is on a completely different level of absolute perfection. Every song stands out as amazing, and they all mix together aggression and melody in an amazing way. It has songs like "The Blister Exists," "Before I Forget," "Circle," and the two-part "Vermillion." Lastly, instead of sounding over-produced and unoriginal, the album has a unique raw sound that ends up defining it. It's the best Slipknot album and one of the best of all time.

  4. All Hope Is Gone

    This should always be considered their best album. Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses was good too, but nothing compared to this. It's the album that's most metal and has the sickest guitar solos. It has great songs like Psychosocial, Dead Memories, All Hope Is Gone, Snuff, The Butcher's Hook, Vendetta, and my personal favorite Slipknot song ever: Sulfur!

    I definitely believe this is the best album, not only because of the great songs like Psychosocial, Sulfur, and All Hope Is Gone, but because of the songs like Snuff and Dead Memories. Those two songs got me through some pretty rough times.

  5. .5: The Gray Chapter

    Their most focused, groovy, and atmospheric album to date, ".5: The Gray Chapter" is the first Slipknot album that impressed me with every track on repeated listens. All of the songs here complement each other very well, and the flow between each is almost seamless. The whole album is soaked in a dense fog of emotion and energy. Not a single song here feels out of place, and the final track is a perfect way to close the album.

    Also, the two bonus tracks that come with the deluxe edition are incredible. A score of 9.5/10 for me. The only issue I had was with some tracks overstaying their welcome toward the last chorus. That's it, guys. The Knot's best album to date is worth voting for and making the #1 spot!

  6. We Are Not Your Kind

    Iowa and We Are Not Your Kind have the best cover booklets in our collection. Self-Titled is good, but only for the original members' photograph on the inside cover.

    The Gray Chapter and All Hope Is Gone are admirable, and tracking which member is on which sort of stuff is a neat game. The End, So Far is the newest, so it is likeable since effort pays off, and The End, So Far shows what is possible. Perhaps the cover art and booklet need changing, but the tracks look solid otherwise, and it is a good music album. Three new old albums, Adderall, Crowz, and Look Outside Your Window, are competing with Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. as older demos and missed tunes that could have done fine as well.

  7. Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.

    The album that started it all. Raw yet well-produced with great, sometimes wacky and experimental songs. It's a great album. Definitely recommend songs such as Slipknot, Gently, and Only One.

    They captured a certain vibe on MFKR they haven't been able to replicate since. Really cool, experimental album that was fairly unique.

  8. Antennas to Hell

    Start to finish, this is an amazing best-of album. This really is the best of Slipknot, especially if you have the 3-disc edition! So amazing!

    Best Slipknot album purely for the track selection. It's a best-of album, so it's got to be the best. Maggots forever, long live the Knot, and R.I.P. Paul Gray.

    It's the greatest hits album, containing the greatest hits. Need I explain more?

  9. 9.0: Live

  10. The End, So Far

    Best album yet. They may continue to make upgrades as this or keep within the style so far if going in the future with it all from here. Interesting and very smart release. I think they do a good job on each unique creation.

    11. The Newcomers

    The Basement Sessions

    13. The Contenders

  13. Crowz

    We Are Not Your Kind is handy to have, and All Hope Is Gone is good to hear on the radio too. Crowz and Look Outside Your Window are perhaps the most underrated. Volume 3: The Subliminal Verses takes some getting into but has some good stuff on it as well. Antennas to Hell, the greatest hits album, is fun too, though not unique. They have 9 or 10 solid albums so far, and sister bands Sinsaenum and Vimic are great also.

    This should have been done and released. It had some brilliant tracks.

  14. Disasterpieces - Live at London Arena 2002

    Nice show in London. Maybe the best live show ever!
