 SIC Package October 10, 2009
MicHaeL H. (The Netherlands)
br /OK, first of all I wanted to say, I expected some nice positive review about this nice product,
br / rather than 2 negative ones from some guys that don't have anything to do but complain about SlipKnoT.
br /They hate SlipKnoT by default, so they just come here to complain some more because they can't appreciate what SlipKnoT is.
br /
br /Also note that myself I'm not some type of hardcore SlipKnoT-fan, so I'm not biased or anything.
br /Now, on to the review I planned to do:
br /
br /
br /This is just a very nice package.
br /It comes with SlipKnoT's debut-album, with added mixes and demos, which before probably only have been available unofficially I guess.
br /Those are interesting to hear, one or two in my opinion even better versions than what ended up on the album.
br /It's funny, in my case I didn't have the original and I really like 'Get This' which is also included and 'Purity' was put back on.
br /So you definitely get the complete package as it comes to the album and extra tracks.
br /
br /On top of this you also get a DVD, which contains some video-clips that go with some tracks on the album.
br /But more importantly it contains a nice recording of a show in The Netherlands in 2000.
br /The video is fine, it's probably from a Dutch TV-channel and shot in 4:3,
br / but the audio has some more issues, I think it's recorded in mono or something and sounds quite muffled, messy and inconsistent.
br /Keep in mind, however, it's recorded at an open-air-show too, and with SlipKnoT being fairly new, it's not a like an official DVD-recording.
br /Nevertheless, it's a great recording to have, previously I could only get even worse downloads, so I'm glad they added it.
br /
br /Then there is also a video which is just a compilation of all kinds of backstage-recordings.
br /There's just a lot of SIC stuff going on, take that word however you like, it's just SlipKnoT as they are.
br /You might not understand what it's about, it might not make sense at all, but it's just a look behind the scenes of SlipKnoT.
br /Besides that, it also starts off with a message from Shawn "Clown" Crahan.
br /
br /There's also a booklet included, which contains the lyrics and a message from Corey Taylor.
br /All this in a nice cardboard box as it's the trend lately.
br /
br /
br /Overall, this is obviously a nice improved version of the original album for existing fans.
br /But if you don't know SlipKnoT well, this is a great introduction to their music and what they're like.
br /Besides that, it's just a very complete package of the time of their official debut.
br /You can't go wrong, especially not for the price.
br /So the 5 stars definitely don't represent the content, as it's definitely not perfect, but it's a great and SIC package.

Ecellent album, with the addition of Purity for the first time. A must for any Slipknot fan
 10th Anniversary Edition - Slipknot October 6, 2009
Wendy Wiseman (West Sussex, UK)
I've read the other two reviews and I want to redress the balance. I'm a big Slipknot fan, have been for a long time and no I'm not a teenager! Although I have the original self-titled album and have listened to it many times, I ordered the 10th anniversary box set and received the rereleased album with the extra tracks and I love it.
br /
br /Anyone who has seen Disasterpieces or Voliminal will know what to expect from a Slipknot dvd, although it's opening couple of minutes is best avoided if you're eating.
br /
br /However, for all you maggots out there who are wondering if it's worth buying the new album when you already have the original, take my word, it's definitely worth it ... for the album and for the dvd.

 Truly embarassing: Rant time: October 5, 2009
Dead Ted Danson (Truth Or Consequences, New Mexicock)
8 out of 11 found this review helpful
I'm sure they would deny it, but to me it's clear. It was all so calculated. Suck in young minds like myself with the crazy antics and stories: backflips from balconies, carcasses in jars, plantpots thrown in recording studios. If they stick around and enjoy the music, job well done. I wish I was as naive and impressionable now as I was back in 2000 so I wouldn't have had to cringe through the footage on the this latest DVD release. Slipknot's only merit lies in their music. As people, 'artists' as they would have it, they are preening, pretentious fools. I've lost count of the amount of interviews over the years where Joey, Shawn or Corey has whined about how hard is to 'survive', how much of a 'battle' being in Slipknot is. Get over it. You're grown men. Your music is tailor-made for teenagers. Maybe when you were in your twenties ten odd years ago this posturing was acceptable, but as grown family men it's starting to come across as desperate pandering. Shawn's written introduction to this 'short film' suggests that the band have been through nothing less than constant torment and struggle at the strife of being in an internationally renowned and financially stable music act adored and respected by millions of fans. Minus one.
br /
br /If you still consider two minutes of someone vomiting on handheld camera appealing, this is for you. If you want to see nine men (two of whose sole role in the band is to play extra notes on half a drum kit and empty kegs, for Christ's sake) shaking their heads furiously in mimicry of actual mental patients, this is for you. If you want to pay good money for a concert where only the triggered click of drums and muffled ranting vocals are audible, this is for you. Men play-fighting on stage like 8-year old wrestling enthusiasts? Check. Crazed backstage footage that by definition promises only to be AT BEST less entertaining than a brick enema? Check.
br /
br /A CD-stretching slew of bonus tracks you've already heard, crammed onto one disc so you can spend MORE money (by a band whose idea of 'doing it for the fans' involves selling them footage of regurgitation) is also included.
Rubbish then... rubbish now September 29, 2009

A truly dreadful CD by a band that was clearly formed as a drunken joke / performance act. This was awful 10 years ago and a re-release is a waste of time. The DVD is like a bad episode of "Jackass" and the music videos are almost as boring as the tracks. All very silly and VERY juvenile.
