Overview Edit

Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Slipknot. The album was released on May 25, 2004 through Roadrunner Records, and a special edition, containing a bonus disc, was released on April 12, 2005. It is the band's only album produced by Rick Rubin. Following the band's tour to promote its second album in 2002, speculation regarding the future began. Some band members had already been involved in side projects including Murderdolls, To My Surprise, and the reformation of Stone Sour. However, in 2003, Slipknot moved into The Mansion to work on the album. Initially, the band was unproductive; lead vocalist Corey Taylor was drinking heavily. Nevertheless, they wrote more than enough material for a new album—the band's first to incorporate more traditional, melodic song structures and acoustic guitars.

The album received generally positive reviews. Slipknot was praised by Allmusic for its "dedication to making it a Slipknot album". Roadrunner Records have listed the music video for "Duality" as the best video in Roadrunner history.

5 stars This is the album that proved all the critics wrong.
First of all; I already know people will be screaming "SELL OUTS!", but the fact of the matter is this album is truly amazing. All the critics just said that these guys were just people who jumped around on stage screaming useless stuff with no meaning. They have two acoustic songs, one slowish type song and a song that starts off heavy and enters into an acoustic breakdown. Those songs are so creative and crazy, you have no idea.

This album is by far their most mature and in my opinion their be…

3 stars Not their greatest work.
Most people who like this album didn't like their debut or Iowa. Why because slipknot was more heavy on those albums.This isn't slipknots heaviest album. I hope they don't pull a metallica on us and go soft. Now don't get me wrong I love slipknot, but I was dissapointed in this album. Vermillion parts 1 and 2, why would slipknot sing about a girl. Songs that were pretty good that remind me of the old stuff are Before I forget and pulse of the maggots. If you want to hear a good slipknot album th…
