Editorial Review: Album Description: In a world where the mentality seems to be "work less, yet earn more," Slipknot have done everything they can to work harder and earn what they deserve, much to the chagrin of their so-called peers, yet to the delight of their fans, known affectionately as the Maggots. The latest culmination of their efforts is Slipknot 9.0: Live, a bludgeoning live double CD of the past three album's worth of material that captures all of the noise, hatred, intensity, violence, pain, blood and infection that make the maggots swarm. "Most of the people that are going to buy this record are core fans, and normally when they listen to an album, they say: 'Oh, this part is brutal, oh, this is bad-ass.' And they rewind over parts and sing along," Crahan explains. "But I think with this record, they're going to be very silent because I think they're going to be painting a picture of us live in their head as they hear it. You're used to seeing us live, but now you're hearing it live, so you're forced to paint the movie in your head, which creates a psychosis - that is what we are doing with rock and roll music." The 24 recordings on 9.0: Live were made directly from the soundboard in countless cities and capture the immediacy and explosiveness of the Slipknot experience, an experience that took on a new life two years ago. In July of 2003, Slipknot convened in a dilapidated mansion in the Hollywood Hills. By January of 2004, they emerged with Vol 3: The Subliminal Verses, an album that would re-establish them as the premiere hard rock band in the world. And in March of 2004, they set out to remind the world of that by doing what they do best: taking it to the people live - a full-contact concert experience. The album contains blips from the nearly two years of brutal touring the band waded through, rejoicing, suffering, destroying, but most importantly reconnecting as a unit, a family, an unstoppable force that will never be reckoned with, never be duplicated, but always envied. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Yeah it's Slipknot... but who the heck is singing??Of course, because it is a slipknot album and they rock, the album definately has potential... however Corey's INCREDIBLY bad vocals on the album destroy any chance of this being "the greatest live album ever" Do yourself a favor, buy the Disaterpieces DVD.... and you'll see Corey in all his glory, without his voice all messed up.....you want greatest live album ever it's Disaterpieces, not this waste of 20 bucks. His voice is beyond TERRIBLE in the album..... almost to the point where you ... Read More Rating:  - Five stars for effort.First off, as I can see in most reviews complaining about Corey's voice, I'm actually baffled that none of you are aware that it was the band's extensive touring which caused his voice to sound hoarse, NOT the mask. Hell, I sound hoarse after singing along at a concert for just a couple of hours, so imagine having to do that for approx. 233 shows, and then see how good your voice would sound. As for the instruments, they couldn't sound better. I'm a Guitar player, so naturally I listen to the Guitar ... Read More Rating:  - Live SlipknotEver wanted to listen to Slipknot live? No, neither have I. But judging by the cover of this album, at least 6 people have. No, no. In all seriousness Slipknot aren't THAT bad. They just don't deserve anymore than 1 star. Their music is that perfect blend of metal that appears edgy and cult, yet is supremely accessible and predictable. I hear people say the band is misunderstood, or misdirected or mis-whatever. But the message "People=SH**" seems about as direct ... Read More Rating: - REALLY goodThe album itself was perfect if the cover did not have a tiny crack ,which must have happened during the delivery/transportation of the package, It would have been worth 5stars Rating: - worrying about what other people think.If you like a certain artist it doesn't really matter what other people think. Do you ask for their advice at the drive-thru as well? Follow your heart. I love the originality of Slipknot. I have been a metal fan since '77. So much garbage comes and goes. The longevity of Slipknot will prove all the critics wrong. Cheers! Browse for similar items by category:
