Amazon.com:
Right from the introductory shriek and grind of "(515)," you know Slipknot are deadly serious about making a real heavy metal album. Iowa is intimidating in its unforgiving heaviness. Produced to perfection by wunderkind Ross Robinson, it takes the best of Slayer as a starting point. "People = Shit," "The Heretic Anthem," and "New Abortion" are relentless and wholly brutal, but this is no mere thrash. "Disasterpiece" features a weird, hypnotic riff, while "Left Behind" comes across like a duet between Alice in Chains' Layne Staley and Slayer's Tom Araya. The rerecorded "Gently" builds slowly from industrial atmospherics to a punishing explosion of noise. The title track (also old and formerly known as "Killers Are Quiet") is a deeply unsettling heavy-metal "Midnight Rambler." Frontman Corey Taylor claims to have performed it naked and bleeding from self-inflicted wounds, which isn't hard to believe. This masterfully constructed collection is painfully raw and utterly compelling. --Dominic Wills

This Was Another Favorite Of Mine. I Really Enjoyed There Debut Album, And I Really Enjoyed This One As Well. This Second Outstanding Slipknot Album Was Just Plain Heavy Metal/Alternative Metal. Even Though, I Did Enjoyed The Rap That Was In There First Album, But I Like Heavey Metal/Alternative Metal Also.
All The Song's On This Album Was Just Plain Heavy, And Alternative As Well. This Was An Awsome 2 Album From Them. This Album Was Very Enjoyable. Buy This Album If You Don't Have It. You Will Love It, If You're A Fan Of Metal.

...as far as Slipknot is concerned this is apparently the album where they attempt to be alot more "dark" and "technical"...have slipknot succeeded in this attempt of theirs? Have they dropped the power chords? Let us see...let us see...
515 6/10: Another random intro track of random low feedback combined with them randomly shouting in a horrified manner...if you're anything like me it's more likely to make you laugh then feel uncomfortable...unless you want to take the innuendo then it may be slightly scary...
People = (The magic S) 8/10: Begins with power chords and explodes into a full assault...corey doing his "I'm a macho screamer man"...the random turntable affects are still apparent in this song...and so are the downtuned guitars...what impresses me is that the power chords take more of a break...they're actually attempting to play riffs this time...even though they're not that difficult (I looked up the guitar tab) it's still in some ways an evolution...I also noticed that Corey's lyrics have become the stereotypical "I hate myself" jargon...so that's another evolution...all in all this track is rather strong...nothing special but it's very heavy and makes a nice change to the previous album...I can see what they're trying to do...I just hope they learn that the equivalent to people is not what they excrete...unless they're maggots (no pun intended)...
Disasterpiece 8/10: Surprisingly heavy song(how?)...the drums double bass intro ... Read More

This is a great album all around. Has everything that you should expect from this band. Although I think their newer albums suck, this was their last good one, in my opinion.

The tension of this album is far beyond other rock, metal, or whatever bands. If you wanna get blown off, you should take this. I'm not gonna IOWA is the only great album in the universe, but at least absolutely one of the most brutal, aggressive, and destructive albums.

I bought this album a couple weeks after it came out. Left behind was decent, and I was really into the new metal fad going on at the time. Since then, I've gotten into black metal, death metal, deathcore, and pretty much any type of metal you can imagine. From someone who listens to it all, I have to say that first off, this can not at all be classified as numetal, secondly, I think it's probably the best album they ever did. They just wanted to put something out that was brutal and violent, and I think they did a pretty good job. Again, I'm just stating what is my opinion and hope no one thinks that I'm trying to convince people to buy it.
