This was Slipknots most heavy album by a long shot AND they were heavy into drugs at this time while their record label was asking them to be more radio friendly so they made the least radio friendly album they could. To me, it is their best album after you acclimate to the heavy riffs and subject matter.

The only thing I will debate is this being their heaviest album. I can agree with over all sound, but I would definitely say The Grey Chapter is the Heaviest due to the nature of the content and atmosphere. Heavy on the subject and heart. Not to cause some hateful debate. I just feel it's one of those aspects we totally forget. There are 2 types of heavy in metal music. You have the heavy chaotic sound, and then you have the heavy topics and subjects. Just because there are no blast beats and screaming doesn't make a song less heavy. The song snuff in this aspect is easily the heaviest song played by Corey Taylor. It is heavy on the heart and touches the soul. Now back to the video.

I wouldn't say it's their heaviest album "by a long shot". Some of the songs are pretty "meh". Self-titled is just as heavy in places. Vol.3 has some heavies, as does AHIG. In fact the AHIG title track is one of their heaviest songs.

8:07 girl nailed it. This is the reason many people listen to metal. It allows you a healthy outlet to get some emotions out. If you ever go to a metal show, it’s on of the most loving experiences. There’s an instant brotherhood. Everyone knows and everyone takes care of each other, no matter how chaotic it seems, everyone is there doing the same thing and we understand. I can’t tell you the amount of people I’ve hugged after a show that I will never meet again because in those few hours, we understood each other

This song is about the uncontrollable rage that can come from bullied and abused people.

Yuuuup. There's a darkness that is born in you when you go through that shit, and yeah, that's why I love metal - I feel like I unwittingly channeled all the angst from the shit I went through into metal [and Eminem's early stuff] and it let me be a happy and more stable person. Still wound up having a psychotic break because I apparently inherited my dad's bipolar, and that was scary as hell to go through [though now I'm just fascinated by it], so now I just kinda feel even closer to darker music.

This song shows how Corey wants to kill his Bully’s in gruesome ways and how it effected him

Lex was like "wooooo this is heavy". This is the heaviest Slipknot ever gets. Iowa was extremely heavy.

8:11 This is EXACTLY why so many people feel so strongly about this band. Their expression of rage is an outlet to all the negative emotions, and the band themselves have said as much in interviews. They want to give their listeners that outlet so they can listen and enjoy the music instead of hurting themselves or others.

When Lexi said that listening to Slipknot seems to be like working out pent up negative energy and feelings and emotions, she nailed it. That is exactly what Slipknot has been to me since childhood. When you feel lost, alone, angry, depressed, and like everything is out of your control, this is the kind of music that lets you burn all of that rage and negativity out of you in a healthy way. People will say this kind of music is bad or makes people angry, but they're so so wrong. This is the music that keeps the anger from manifesting in much worse ways.

HAIL SLIPKNOT! Joey´s drumming on this album is out of this world. I remember the first time I heard this song when it was released, I was in shock and my mind, body and soul was elevated to another dimension!!! 🔥🔥🔥

slipknot has literally saved my life on more than one occasion because of songs like this. that they could go through the heinous crap they did and survive to channel it into these fantastic pieces of art is mind-blowing. i mean hell, corey was literally left for dead in a dumpster at like 15 by people he considered friends. their stories and lyrics are just really relatable on a lot of levels.

"I guess someone transgressed and they're not havin it" lmfao I love that comment

RIP - Joey Jordison To one of the best and most innovative drummers of his time... Gonna miss ya brother.

That look on Brad's face as he read the opening lyrics, priceless! Great reaction as always.

I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.....Lex's facial reactions. She always has this smiling look of Joy on her face when hearing something new, for the first time. You guys rock, your dope, your my homeys. Much Love.

Lex is too cute “hold on to something!” 😂

"messages sometimes can seem kinda violent" yea exactly! Same between some rap and heavy music like this. It's a big heavy feeling and message portrayed through some big ass emotions.

Absolutely brutal album and a brutal time for the band. knowing what Corey had gone through and was going through at the time of the album makes it hard album to listen too at times. But it’s necessary, better to let the anger out in music rather than let it eat you alive or hurt someone else.

Oh, no London live version! Please do People=Shit live from London, you won't be disappointed!

Top tier heavy slipknot right there. Vermillion parts 1 and 2 my personal faves from slipknot and very different they will surprise you. Much love

I love how Lex was so in tune with the music that she could feel that breakdown coming from a mile away! Smiling and thrashing! I love it!!

Lex hit the nail on the head about listening to this to expel all the negative thoughts and feelings. Definitely the best outlet for me.

I’m telling you, Brad is turning into a Maggot (Slipknot fan)! Love how he was trying to concentrate on Cory’s hard a** bars!!! Brad was even rocking out a little!

Yes! My favorite song by them 🤘 love your channel And I completely agree, this band helps you work stuff out. It's like music therapy. Slipknot has gotten me through some situations that seemed hopeless. The GOATs

Drums is absolutely insane

Seeing Lex hearing Slipknot brings me joy. I've been listening and going to see them since 2000, I appreciate them but she's hearing all of this for the first time, I wish I could have that excitement again. My wife is going to see them for her first time in October, I'm excited for her but sad I couldn't get her in the pit area. The price was INSANE this time around! Like $500+ for two tickets lol. Edit: This is one of Slipknot's top songs. Its so deep and so much happens in it. The live version is fun.

Took a few hours to watch this reaction in full. But this was The best reaction alive seen from you two so far.

Love that conversation at the end, it is was it is

I usually don’t subscribe to reaction channels but when she said that it feels like it’s Corey is like working out some pent up energy. I knew she was really listening and trying to understand the music! Great reaction. I look forward to more of these. If you haven’t reacted to Everything Ends off of Iowa pls do!

As soon as I saw this I knew you'd like it!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO THIS WHOLE ALBUM!!!!!

You 2 definitely are the perfect reacting couple. I'm always looking forward to hearing how Brad will interpret and how Lex will physically react.

Definitely one of the best slipknot songs of all time in my opinion. Thx for sharing and experiencing this epic song!!!

I feel it`s about his reflection of the world and society- "People make noises when they`re sick" - people complain only when they get stuff taken away from, hurt, etc. We all cross lines.

Best era of Slipknot, Distasterpieces is the best live concert recorded of Slipknot, in my opinion. So good! Should definitely watch the live version!

Man, I've been a slipknot fan for 20 years and I dont get into it as hard as Lex. Get it girl!

"Fighting yourself out of it" That's a perfect description. Sometimes you need another fire to put out a bigger one. 👍

Lex is really feeling the vibes of the music here and I love it!

You must check out their live performance of this song in London!

The live version of this track from London, Joey's drum cam. Genuinely breathtaking. The guy was an absolute machine, RIP.

i already forgot how intense this song is, musically and mentally.. Time to relisten the Iowa album.

Your reaction to the opening lyrics were great!

This song is about corey and his bully at school, he's releasing all his pent up rage, how he feels about the bully, what he would do to the bully... As a victim of bullying, this song resonates so strong within me

Loved this! Ones trying to get with the lyrics while the others rockin out…fun!

Haha I love the different reactions between the two of you! Brad is sitting there reading the lyrics slightly bobbing and Lex is just wildin out headbanging but also catching some lyrics too. My first time hearing this song was just like Lex 🤣 great video yall!

It was amazing live! Best show I've ever been to.

This is definitely Slipknot at their heaviest (which is saying something) they were absolutely brutal when Iowa dropped, it’s an amazing album and heavy as ever. Definitely check it out!

I’ve said it since the first time I heard this song. Nothing goes as hard and is as in your face as this song. This is the most brutal song you will ever hear.

Just saw Slipknot the other day in Cincinnati for the first first time. Fuckin kickass show and it will not be my last! They opened with this song!

at 4:00 when brad starts trying to break it down, he actually does his best reaction of any reaction i have seen him do. preach brad. I wish brad wasn't such a lyric junky and watch more live versions of these songs. man there is some amazing live footage of this song.

I always made sure this was the last song I blasted out of my room at Camp Falcon, AKA Ferrin Huggins, before leaving the wire in southern Baghdad 04/05, the only other song that could amp me up like Disasterpiece so I could brave Route Irish was Slayer Point, you guys are awesome, Lex has an amazing ear for music.

1 of my favs🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Brad does the analyzing and Lex just a whole vibe. Lmao. Yall the perfect duo!

Lex is right. Slipknot does that for me. The lyrics help me release what’s bothering me inside. When I don’t want to talk to anyone. Slipknot has helped me through out my life. They claim me down and help me relax when I listen to them with the volume up very loud. I can block out my problems and just enjoy great music.

Omg Lexi is so funny love the way you guys bounce ideas off each other. Subbed!

The song scared the shit outta me the first time I heard, then I had it on repeat 3 more times cuz I needed more.. some people just don’t understand. 12 years old listening to this back in the day!!

IOWA is the darkest album the band has ever created. The entire band hated each other at this point (2001) and it was the darkest time of their career. With the first album being such a great success they went none stop touring, doing press that they jumped right in on writing the 2nd album. My favorite Album of all time.

My favorite line from the song "I want to dig inside find a little bit of me!"

There's a video out there of Joey (only) playing in concert to this song. I was floored by his performance. He was one of the most talented drummers known. He was fast, accurate and creative. Hard to come by these days.

Can’t get over the bvb jersey. Lex making men crush across the world. Metal head, football, big curly hair… woo

If I'm not mistaken, corey was singing about a bully of his and letting loose his aggression about what he went through. (Edit: you looked it up, I guess I was close enough) And if you're doing more off the Iowa album, I'd recommend 'I am hated' for Corey's rap-esque flow or 'heretic anthem' because the lyrics sound shocking but aren't about what you think they would be.

Trying out Corey Taylors favourite slipknot song to play live I see . Such a strong track... If you want to keep the heavy try out 'To the hellfire' by Lorna Shore . It will genuinely blow your minds (&eardrums) ...

Lex is right about workin out the negativity and anger and depression. If you ever experienced a mosh pit in full swing you would understand it. That is what a lot of metal does and there was a study not too long ago that showed not only did metal heads have musical tastes in common with people who listen to classical music, but it also showed that they are much more emotionally secure and prepared to deal with things like death, depression, disappointment than non-metal heads because it is a constant subject matter of a favored past time of theirs. So metal heads tend to have a healthier relationship with negative aspects of life than most other people do.

You guys are a great couple! I really enjoy your videos. Lex, you nailed it. This music allows someone to release pent up energy, anger, anguish, etc. This is quintessential Iowa...I mean growing up in Iowa (where Slipknot is from). It is such a unique upbringing, with very little of the Coastal US influencing the population. I am the same age as these guys, and I am sure we were influenced by the same artists (albums our parents had, for sure). Punk shows used to come through the VFWs in the area (punk bands trying to generate enough cash to get to the next big show in a big city), and those little tidbits of heavy, deep, release-yourself kinda music permeated through a generation, or two. Long story short....Slipknot. Lex, you got a single sister? Brad, come hang out....love the depth of your analysis. You guys are awesome. Keep 'em coming!

The live version of this in Somerset, WI at Knotfest's inaugural year is amazing! I was there! :)
