Iowa's greatest | Slipknot - Slipknot

Hey it's your buddy Jamie here with a minor content warning: this album is somewhat violent and sweary in its lyrical content, be forewarned. On this episode of Vinyl Verdict, Bell, Jamie and Plouffe listen to Plouffe's next pick, Slipknot's "Slipknot". Their debut album, it was released in 1999 to critical and fan acclaim. In addition to positive reviews of the album, the single "Wait and Bleed" was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 2001 Grammy Awards. Worldwide, it has sold over 3,000,000 copies since its release, which is a good thing because Slipknot has 9 members that need to get paid. Several of the members of the band contribute to the percussion alone, which was cited as a major strong point on the album. Will the boys review it as kindly? What kind of mask would Plouffe wear? Come along and find out!
