I like Slipknot. But I do not like the fact that some people refer to them as Metal.
Also, their albums get progressively worse. Their demo and their first album were good because they were basically saying, "We wear masks, we're agressive to the max, and we don't give a fuck about anything. Can we has fan following nao plz?" And sure enough, they got one. Then they went the way of Metallica, Linkin Park, Trivium, and numerous other bands that nowadays can be considered 'shit'. With Iowa, someone must have said (probably the sample guy or the dude who plays that ONE bass drum, who I still don't see the point of) "Hey guys, I've got an idea. Let's tone down our masks, drop the f-bomb every two seconds, and use conventional time signitures and drop tunings!"
The rest of the band were probably stoned or something, because it appears they agreed.
