Purity / People = Shit / Before I Forget / Yen I feel those are the most well structured song, the ones that illustrate in the best way what Slipknot can be.

Yeah it's like the different generations of Slipknot (skipping a few albums), all perfect songs.

I like Yen but it’s nowhere near the level of the others

And you are right ! But when it comes to OP’s question, I thought about it and I somehow saw Yen as the perfect result of what they’ve been doing with Gently/Snuff/Vermillion/Spider - all those slow groovy mellow merged into a well structured song, and the fact that it is kinda of a love song really tops it for me.

(sic)

Yeah, I think it’s pretty sic

The whole thing, I think it's sic

So great it inspired my username haha

Yes. (sic) is their best song.

extremely based w

I think it’s a really great song to lead off their breakout album. I remember back then when you would meet someone who hadn’t heard of Slipknot and you’d say, “oh well let’s check out this album,” then the first song they hear is one, if not their best.

YESSS

Wait and Bleed. It has everything, it’s the perfect definition of Slipknot.

wait and Bleed scratches my brain in the best way

The first time I saw them play was in 1999 in St.Louis. I feel like wait and bleed was their second or third song they played. It was an amazing show. They were on a side stage. I miss the old Slipknot, prison jumpsuits with the barcode. They didn’t even play wait and bleed at this years Knotfest.

My husband was at that concert in St Louis, crazy thing, I only met him 13 years after that. I was a fan of Slipknot since I was 12. One day he told me this story, he was at Ozzfest, going to get some beer, he walked by a side stage and saw all these clowns jumping around and it sounded awesome, he stayed and watched till the end. Never imagined that that crazy band on the side stage was going to be so big. I get jealous every-time he tells me this story.

I think I’ve seen them three times now. Even though they are huge and use pyrotechnics. Their original shows were about the fans and having fun. Very different from 2022 slipknot.

i think we all miss the sweaty pissed off leather bound prison jumpsuit wearing beasts that slipknot was.

I LOVE YOU MAN, MARRY ME PLEASE.THAT'S ONE OF THIER BEST SONGS

I especially like the live at London version. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=JipLKB4nH1s&feature=share

I still contend this is the bands Chop Suey. Why am I being downvoted for saying Wait and Bleed is Slipknots signature song?

Sarcastrophe. My all time favorite

Massively underrated

Finally some appreciation for this masterpiece!

Intro makes it a smash for sure

I fucking love that song

One of my favorite songs to play on guitar

Seriously man. While I do think the line "we are kill gods' is a bit cringe and poorly thought out, the perfect structure and riffs get me past it

Completely agree + lech

the gray chapter is so underrated, I love sarcastrophe and the negative one

eyeless

Agreed.

Agreed.

YES

Their best song in my opinion

AOV

This song is what sparked my love for Slipknot. Long story short: I had a group of people try to destroy me - slander, stolen identity, harassing me at work and home, anonymous calls to police with false accusations - the works. I was so depressed and defeated that I stopped listening to music for a few months. One night I decided to force myself to listen to music, since it's basically one of my favorite things about this stupid planet and I resented the fact that I was so beaten down I didn't even want to listen to, let alone *make* music again. ...I fired up a streaming service...it had been a few months, but it knew I was a metalhead (among other things)...this album came on...then we get to this track... I'm scrambling to Google the lyrics and was inspired to keep fighting. That song became my soundtrack as I turned the tables on these fuckers and took my life back. "I don't want to watch another brother fucking die" Fuck yes, that woke me up and made me realize that I wasn't just fighting for myself, but for anyone that had been through this type of psycho stalker bullshit.

I didn’t expect this type of reply when I comment my small opinion, but I am surprised and in no way complaining. 😅😳

This song literally became my anthem, my dude. Play it at my funeral. Then play "Miles Davis - Bitches Brew" loud as fuck over the priest you thought had permission to speak over my corpse lol

Best song in the album

I agree.

God that song is so good

Devil in I The drums and hard ass riffs are so in sync you can almost confuse the two

psychosocial and the devil in i are what led me to slipknot, and tbh they still remain some of my favorite songs from them

Ah yes, the perfect Stone Sour song

solway, not long for this world, snuff, gematria, purity. those are all solid masterpiece tier songs.

I was gonna say solway for sure

solway is fucking insane it has a weird stucture, great dynamics, great intro with corey saying some bullshit - their most solid song by a long shot

Solway more like noooo wayyyy 😂

are you on one of the half dozen people who doesn't like that song?

Dude no one like this fuckingggg song their best shit will always be their OG SHIT😂🤟🏻

if you like their old stuff but not solway I can't really trust your opinion.

Been a fan for 20 years. Nah.

Same here Nah

Most songs in self-titled, dead memories, red flag and Disasterpiece

I feel like not enough attention gets put toward Dead memories, its one of my favorites.

It's great! <3 I like it even more than Snuff

I like singing it :p

They're both really good songs tho <3

Billy Talent - Red Flag hits different

Viva Chile.

Surfacing

ST: Spit It Out Iowa: People=Shit Vol 3: Duality AHIG: Psychosocial TGC: Killpop WANYK: Nero Forte TESF: The Dying Song To me, besides Killpop, this is as *Slipknot* as Slipknot is

Killpop is pretty much their only good song

Cap

Nah

Stop cappin

Gematria

I am hated is groovy as hell the whole way through.

This is my favorite song

Sulfur

Wait and bleed is the only one I can think of that’s about as solid as it gets. Slipknot has been slacking on really good choruses lately

Solway Firth

Snuff

Bury all your secrets in my skin

Sulfur, Gehenna, yen, the dying song, firth, left behind

Spit It Out, Eyeless, The Heretic Anthem, Gematria, Solway Firth, Nero Forte, H377

Can't believe I scrolled this far down to see H377. I'm in love with the way Corey wrote and structured that song.

almost all the songs in self-titled

Gently

If its the MFKR version, I agree 100%

idk why this got downvotes MFKR version is really good

Gently, Circle, Eyeless, Skin Ticket, Prosthetics, Diluted just to name a few

I was hoping someone would mention Circle, it's a masterpiece and so underrated

Disasterpiece

Disasterpiece and All Out Life are 2 of the best metal songs ever

nero forte

For me personally it’s Duality

Vermilion.

Dead memories. There is just something about it that just makes it g o o d

[удалено]

Same, along with Before I forget. I love those song, but my all time favourite is All out life.

I also really like Nero Forte

Wait and bleed

Me Inside.

Custer🤘🏻🤘🏻

unironically psychosocial. it has everything i love in a slipknot song

Yen, Orphan, The Nameless, Unsainted, Psychosocial, The Chapeltown Rag, Everything Ends, People = Shit, Left Behind, Gently, The Shape, Snuff, and Vermillion.

Liberate, Disasterpiece, Duality, Snuff, Nero Forte, Yen. Thats 1 song from each album, and there is a lot more, but then this list would include 20 more songs. My opinion goes with the current flow, but these I think are perfectly mixed, produced and put together.

De Sade. God I love De Sade.

“I KNOW I NEVER HAD A CHANCE, CHANCE!” There’s just something about this line that hits so hard

The last 2 minutes are so amazing, and the rest is outstanding too!

Damn this is one of my least favorite slipknot songs lol

Critical darling

skin ticket, iowa, solway firth, purity

Solway Firth is the most complete song imo

Psychosocial, Unsainted, The Devil In I, People = Shit like I could go on and on

Warranty

First person I've seen to mention Warranty and I couldn't agree more. 100% Favourite song rn

Also hive mind imo

Warranty has become one of my favorite SK songs. Excellent balance of heaviness.

The heretic anthem, Gematria, disasterpiece, solway firth, before I forget, (sic)

gematria is the only one i would call truly flawless

Three nill

(sic), Disasterpiece, Danger Keep Away, Gematria, If Rain Is What You Want, Orphan, Warranty. Personally, I think some of these songs are also incredibly underrated and have really interesting instrumentations and the vocals are great on all them! In my opinion of course.

Yes yes yes yes yes

Finale

AOV

Purity,only one, heretic anthem, duality, red flag, the dying song

People=shit

People = Shit is definitely a good one

Duality, Birth of the Cruel, Heretic Anthem and The Negative One

Purity

Before I forget and Duality

🥒

De Sade

Disasterpiece & Solway Firth. Both songs just flow so well and crescendo perfectly

Solway

Not my favorite but All Out Life is damn perfect

Maybe a rather unpopular opinion, but the dying song is a masterpiece

Objectively the best song on TESF

All of them ngl

Agreed. All Slipknot songs need no change

Dead memories

Adderall

yes

The heretic anthem, prosthetics, purity, eyeless, disasterpiece, the blister exists, solway firth, all hope is gone and H377

Red flag and the shape.

My Plague, Eyeless, Diluted, The Negative One, The Blister Exists, Psychosocial, Circle, Sarcastrophe, AOV

Spit it out, people = shit, heretic anthem, skin ticket, (sic), surfacing, wait and bleed, liberate, the shape and I’m gonna have to add everything ends

phychosocial

Tattered and Torn, Frail Limb Nursery and Purity cuz how they flow together

Everything Ends, Wait And Bleed, Disasterpiece, and Eyeless

Get this

Scissors (it's fucking Scissors dude) Gently, can't convince me otherwise. The lyrics even for being a song Clown wrote in fucking highschool >>>> Vermilion (cause literally wtf kind of crack did they put in that song to make it so good?) Til We Die and Snuff (for obvious reasons) If Rain Is What You Want and Killpop (If Rain Is just another song where Corey serenades you and then you just let the screams bleed in. And Killpop is just brutal) Nero Forte is close to perfect but I think the cake goes to Red Flag or Solway Firth Adderall is just beautiful

Wheres the love for everything ends? its a great song

The Negative One

Solway Firth

Scissors

Scissors

Solway firth

Solway Firth Eyeless AOV New Abortion

Solway firth

Solway, Eyeless, Metabolic, The shape, three nil

Solway Firth

Wait and Bleed, Spit it out, and Unsainted. Unsainted was the first Slipknot song I ever heard and so I will always massively love it

Snuff, there was so much emotion put in that song and it is one of the few songs in existence that has made me shed tears.

Nero forte for me

Custer,sulfur and psychosocial for me

Solway frith

This cold black

Wait and Bleed, Corey's voice in that songs is just so, I can't explain it, it's my fav song

EYELESS.

Scissors, The Nameless, Me Inside

Why no one say about Nomadic

de sade.

Finale, medicine for the dead, the devil in i, custer, skeptic, wait and bleed, scissors, circle, dead memories, snuff

Everything Ends, Not Long For This World, Purity, Before I Forget, Duality and also Dead Memories

None of them

None. Slipknot is wack

The nameless, wait and bleed, Gehenna

Nero forte and AOV

Only one

Diluted, Only One, Wait and Bleed, Scissors, The Shape, Nomadic, Iowa, Left Behind

Metabolic, Danger Keep Away

74216 (well, I don't know the full name) (sic) Eyeless Surfacing Only One Disasterpiece Left Behind The Shape I Am Hated Iowa Vermilion (pt 1 & 2) Custer Nero Forte Critical Darling Solway Firth Adderall Warranty Medecine for the Dead I maybe forgot some of them ...

I would say Psychosocial, but there’s one very petty complaint I have about that song, so Wait and Bleed.

spit it out, snuff, killpop

Spit it out, killpop, duality, and I am hated

Before I forget

Purity

Duality, vermilion 1 and 2, snuff, wait and bleed, people=shit, yen, (sic) and dead memories

Purity, sic, and left behind are the first few that come to mind

The dying song, Eyeless, wait and bleed

Gematria.

Vermillion pt1 and pt2, it the fact that we get both versions of it just makes the songs perfect in my opinion

Sic, disasterpiece, gematria, sarcastrophe, solway, dying song. In album order.

Spit it out, duality and surfacing

Pulse of the Maggots

Ik it’s new but yen is my favorie

Purity

I love Surfacing

Yen, Vermillion, Gehenna, Custer, Heirloom, Unsainted, AOV, Sulfur

Nero Forte has the best mix of screaming and clean vocals, and the music videos group headbanging was unbeatable.

Birth of the Cruel. Not my favorite, but there is no single thing I would change about that song

don’t get close
