SLIPKNOT
- 9.0: Live
With three great albums of sheer intensity and extreme
technical power behind them, Slipknot
opted to deliver a double live album instead of a generic Best Of. But
then we all know that they don't exactly do things in half measures (from the
size of the band and their outrageous masks and stage show, to the breakneck speed
of many songs). The live environment is also the place where these guys really
explode. If you've got the Disasterpieces DVD, this audio recording could
have less impact (due to the intense visual nature of the band), but that show
didn't feature songs of the Chapter 3 album. On this album the two dozen
tracks captures that live energy and ferocity everyone has come to expect from
a band that gives 110% on stage, and this is a testimony to their fans that stood
by them through thick and thin, making their existence possible. The live recordings
weren't subjected to much post-production tweaking and cheating, and you're also
treated to a drum solo from Joey. If you like your music light and crispy, don't
bother picking up this monster.
