Love it!.......2007-03-16

This was the first Slipknot album I have purchased and I'm proud of it. I was wondering how I would like it considering I never really paid attention to them before and listened to bands like Metallica and System of a Down alot but nothing as heavy as this album. I decided to pick it up after an ex-girlfriend of mine showed me The Heretic Anthem.

Although not for the squeemish (as most extreme metal albums are) I say this is a must own for fans of heavy and extreme metal. It didnt sound anything like nu-metal to me.

Some may think the excessive amount of lyrics about breakups and love are not the best option for any band to choose but I dont mind.

I don't want to bombard you with cliche's but let me just put it this way: the way Corey sings/screams alongside Mick's guitar may actually be a very well epic sound.

Check out the track clip previews, especially track 6, the Heretic Anthem. Some of the previews dont catch the best parts of the songs but I'd highly recommend this album to any heavy/extreme metal fan.

Slipknot is very hit-or-miss, but this album has a few of my favorites.

It's not just a Tac-Nuke, it's another way to say I Hate You.......2007-02-15

The 20th Century was, not so long ago, the most violent in human history.

Man it doesn't take much to get upstaged.

The 21st Century is like some great blood-soaked gut-spattered gory canvas of Satan, and a real work of art it is: Genocide in all its viscera-spattered glory stomping red-toothed & hungry across the Sudan & despoiling Rwanda; the annihilation by 747 of two of America's most iconic skyscrapers; constant headhacking, decapitation, & the development of Suicide Bombing as one Religion's single contribution to culture; riots, looting, burning, raping, maiming to say nothing of the lesser Lights of Violence like typhoons, twisters, earthquakes, and even a hurricane that devoured a major American city while everybody just watched.

Man it's been a doozy, hasn't it? Who needs monsters when we have Mankind?

In this world full of idiots, I'm grateful that I have a band like Slipknot. I'm glad I can spin a brutal little brass-knuckles headcrusher of a CD like Iowa, which is great music to listen to when you want to crush people and break things. When you're tired of idiots on the highway driving in the passing lane at 45 mph, creating a rolling roadblock---the same idiots who scream down leafy & narrow suburban streets at 90 mph or tailgating you within inches of your back bumper when you have nowhere to go.

You with me?

It's great music to just let rampage through your ears, your guts, your windows, when you're sick of the vomit our so-called "Leaders" spew, vomit that passes as wisdom, vomit that assures us we should fret & worry about what terrorist savages think about us, that we should be ready at every instant to bow & scrape & apologize.

It's for those moments when some hideous mainstream sub-normal twists up his face and says "why do you have to be so weird?". It's for everybody who ever said "you're never gonna make it", for every chick who ever shot you down because she was gunning for the QB, who now sells used cars and comes home to the little hovel they call a home, gunning his grungy little Geo through the stoplights.

It's for those days that are Red in Tooth & Claw, when the Rage just spills over and you need something to serve as a soundtrack for fury.

That's "Iowa".

Heaviest death/trash metal album ever..........2006-12-24

...but all you had to talk about is how you broke up with your girlfriend (just listen to "Everything Ends") and complainig about what a s##tty place your home IOWA is and how your life sucks there, because that's what metal is all about, isn't it, Slipknot?

It's more like a 4 star, but I rated 5 to boost the average........2006-10-05

What an underrated album.
This is definietly Slipknot's best (and only good). When it was released in 2001, I was surprised after their pretty weak debut. I didn't like that album too much, however it had its moments and a great song "W&B". And when Iowa came out, I was glad to hear a pure anger-metal assault, it was a good listen in the sea of fashionable rap-rock bulls**t bands which ones were the kings of the music world back then (crazytown,limpbizkit etc.). Now this band is a SELLOUT, Vol. 3. was disappointing after this and 9.0 Live is by far the worst live album I've ever heard! I dont think Slipknot will sound like this ever again, what a pity, Corey should stay in Stone Sour. Anyway, nevermind about this tragedy, just get this album it improves that this band used to be able to make something decent (however not excellent) and continue it but they've lost it.
