RELEASE NOTES:

These nine Midwestern boys (all from Des Moines, IA) reportedly
perform wearing orange industrial coveralls with UPC symbols on
the front; each band member is identified by a number, which is
painted on the sleeve of his coveralls. Each also wears a really
nasty-looking mask. Judging from their appearance and from the
sound of their debut album, it's easy to assume that they're
upset about something. What it is exactly is kind of hard to
tell, since the stuttering roar of Number 8's vocals is barely
discernible through the jackhammer death-metal drums, massed
guitars, horror-show samples, and jittery turntable scratches
that pummel the listener through almost every song. You thought
Limp Bizkit was hard? They're the Osmonds. These guys are
something else entirely. And it's pretty impressive. Although
those lyrics that are discernible are not generally quotable on
a family website, suffice it to say that the members of Slipknot
are not impressed with their fathers, their hometown, or most
anything else. "Surfacing" starts out by cursing pretty much
everything generally, and then it starts getting aggressive, as
shrieking guitar feedback alternates with DJ scratching. "Spit
It Out" is speed rap-metal with an actual melody in the chorus;
"Scissors" ends the program with a sound that quite simply
couldn't get any more aggro without falling apart entirely and
by the end, the singer actually sounds like he's about to burst
into tears. An auspicious debut.

Other Comments:

The Digipak release of Slipknots Self-titled album. Contains
extra songs. Still without "Purity"
