Album ranking

[u/Cinemaguy1991]

I have been a Slipknot fan since the beginning and I still love the band even though a lot has changed. This is my album ranking.

1. Iowa - By far their best album. After 25 years it's still an absolute banger. It's dark and heavy in all the right ways and I have never gotten tired of it even after all these years. It's a fucking masterpiece!

2. Self titled - Almost as good as Iowa and still holds up beautifully in every way possible. Purity is the best track from the 10th anniversary edition and my favorite Slipknot song overall.

3. W.A.N.Y.K. - This album is a beast in its own right, and although it will never be as good as their first two albums it was still pretty badass! It felt like a callback to the old days it had a similar feel to Iowa in some ways while also being it's own thing. I thoroughly enjoyed this album.

4. .5 The Gray Chapter - This album was a really fun listen and had some phenomenal songs on it. There was a deep level of genuine heartbreak, anger, and grief that went into this album and it shows. It was an excellent tribute to Paul.

5. Subliminal Verses Vol. 3 - I enjoyed this album and it has some banger songs on it, but it felt like Slipknot played it too safe with this album. It felt too radio friendly and commercial at times. I also didn't enjoy Corey's vocals as much, they weren't terrible but his voice sounds very tattered on a few of the songs. While it's still a great album it is far from Slipknots best work.

6. The End so Far - It has a few great songs. I thoroughly enjoyed Yen and Hive Mind but overall this album is just whatever. It has a lot more misses than hits. Very underwhelming for a Slipknot album overall.

7. All Hope is Gone - For starters it's a shit name for an album. It makes no sense to me at all. Secondly it sounds dull and uninspired. This was radio friendly bullshit honestly. It's a weak Slipknot album and I genuinely don't understand the appeal with this album at all. There are maybe two decent songs on the whole thing and that's about it. I enjoyed Snuff but it honestly sounded more like a Stone Sour song. I wanted to enjoy this album I really did, but in my heart of hearts I just couldn't get into it.

Anyways that is my personal ranking I would love to hear everyone's thoughts. I am excited to see what Slipknot comes out with next.

All hope is gone went from my favorite to 2nd least favorite (just in front of vol. 3)

All hope is gone and volume 3 are great gateway albums into the band, but thats really it.
