Good Points
Hard-hitting tunes delivered the way only Slipknot can.
Bad Points
Not a lot of originality in the album.
General Comments
Slipknot, Vol.3: The Subliminal Verses is a a very well-made album by the band Slipknot. It features their newest hit "Duality" which is undoubtably the best song on the album. The recipe that makes this album stand out from the other nu-metal albums is the tested-and-true formula which made the band famous: the music dosen't necessarily have to be refined for people to like it. Vol.3 is full of tracks with the heavy sound that became the band's trademark,especially on the track "Pulse Of The Maggots", but it also contains a couple of slower tracks, including "Circle", which shows that Slipknot are able to do more than just hard music.
Vol.3 is the first Slipknot album I bought and, truly, it was an excellent choice.
