Slipknot

　戴著恐怖骇人的面具，穿著连身工作服，以编号代替名字的独特风格，在外型上就让人难以忘记。两个高大凶猛的吉他手制造扭曲又厚重的音波，加上双大鼓与贝斯的连续猛击，配以两个敲击乐手的火上加油，光是旋律与节奏方面就与一般乐团更重更猛。DJ与特殊音效处理的编制再加上主唱撕裂般的嗓音，更让Slipknot 拥有最完整最强烈的煽动阵容。　　

同名专辑是加盟爆音专门厂牌Roadrunner的首张力作，超级制作人Ross Robinson完全打点Slipknot 99年的首张作品，而破厂牌纪录的销售以及受全球乐迷推崇的结果，也奠定了Slipknot在音乐圈的地位与份量。

These nine Midwestern boys (all from Des Moines, IA) reportedly perform wearing orange industrial coveralls with UPC symbols on the front; each bandmember is identified by a number, which is painted on the sleeve of his coveralls. Each also wears a really nasty-looking mask. Judging from their appearance and from the sound of their debut album, it's easy to assume that they're upset about something. What it is exactly is kind of hard to tell, since the stuttering roar of Number 8's vocals is barely discernible through the jackhammer death metal drums, massed guitars, horror-show samples, and jittery turntable scratches that pummel the listener through almost every song. You thought Limp Bizkit was hard? They're the Osmonds. These guys are something else entirely. And it's pretty impressive. Although those lyrics that are discernible are not generally quotable on a family website, suffice it to say that the members of Slipknot are not impressed with their fathers, their hometown, or most anything else. "Surfacing" starts out by cursing pretty much everything generally, and then it starts getting aggressive, as shrieking guitar feedback alternates with DJ scratching. "Spit It Out" is speed rap-metal with an actual melody in the chorus; "Scissors" ends the program with a sound that quite simply couldn't get any more aggro without falling apart entirely, and by the end, the singer actually sounds like he's about to burst into tears. An auspicious debut. 

连极端金属迷都对这专和Lowa评价不错可见活结前期风格比较极端 如果活结保持风格也许会有一种风格叫活金

整张专辑感觉sic听起来最为畅快淋漓

总有人对金属迷有误解，觉得喜欢金属的都是暴徒，其实真正的金属迷不会危害社会，他们精神上都是受虐狂，喜欢操自己，非常喜欢的一张专辑，牛逼

当年在网上搜活结的图片留下了心理阴影

我见过的最牛逼的乐队同名专辑

结式金属，自成一派。（knotty metal）

其实我个人更喜欢活结死金和新金的结合 有老死，残死等没有的愤怒的气质 可惜就是类似乐队没找到几个合口味的

虽然我极度讨厌新金属——纯粹个人喜好原因，但是不得不说，这张很棒，很耐听，现在拿出来听，依然不过时。

活结是我听过的新金属里面最凶的，不亚于极端金属
