I had to urge to make this, I haven't thought about my faves in a while. Order's pretty rough but generally representative of my tastes. I'd love to talk to some fellow metalheads on here!

@thepreposterouspanda I do like Vol. 3 but it's their Black album essentially. Too melodic and accessible. Stripped almost everything that made Iowa an assault on the senses.
And yeah wtf was that latest album, I was listening with my sister when it came out and we were just SO bored
@NiatheDeerHunter I think they wouldn't have made it past album 3 if they had tried to top the rage of Iowa unfortunately. Too many substances, too much aggression haha.
Ugh, it's like the album just gave up halfway through. It's a shame because Chapeltown Rag and The Dying Song were both pretty solid tracks, and so was Hive Mind. The rest of it though...
@thepreposterouspanda Yeah you're right, the band has admitted it themselves of course. I can relate unfortunately 😅
Yeah they were, the rest was just lacking any edge whatsoever. Definitely their worst album. I'm thinking maybe it was because of label disputes or something.
Jim Root was saying they didn't spend enough time hammering the songs out before they went in to the studio and you can definitely tell. I also think Corey Taylor not doing well mentally probably played a big part in it, did you see that video he put out recently?
@NiatheDeerHunter Hooray, that's so awesome!!! I'm still using cannabis daily but it's for chronic pain and anxiety reasons, not just to get blasted haha.
They really have. I still remember that press conference when they had to tell everyone Paul had died. They were so broken up.
