May I present my opinion on this matter? I feel about Slipknot the same way I feel about Disturbed: I personally like them both, but I have better music in my collection. They're both in a small category of metal in which my wife likes (the others being Mudvayne, Hellyeah, Five Finger Death Punch, and Stone Sour). I think if they lost the costumes and marketed themselves as a band rather than a gimmick, then people would be more open to hearing what they have to offer.
