i'm no fan of the band, but IOWA was in many ways a good piece of work particularly in the rhythmic department. Also, their singer is one of the best, most diverse screamers i've ever heard.
but yeah. the blanket hate that slipknot receive is unrelated to the album music, which most people who talk bad of them have never even listened to so much as a second of.
but then, slipknot's image is so repulsively detestable and abhorrent and their fanbase is so unbelievably sad-a$s that it almost justifies hating the band and their music...just 'cause.

In my case the dislike is justified. A lot of my friends in high school were Slipknot 'maggots'. They didn't just listen to the music... they would also etch the lyrics in desks and walk around in those stupid Slipknot shoes.
I'll concede that Joey Jordison is a competent drummer (though quite overrated) and Corey Taylor isn't a bad vocalist. Stone Sour - Bother is a good track.
