**💭 Thoughts:** Coming from Iowa, Slipknot’s 1999 self-titled debut still holds up today as one of the greatest nu-metal albums of all time. I love the powerful riffs, outstanding drumming, and of course Corey Taylor’s intense and raw vocals. Arguably one of the best metal debut albums. **🎶 Tracklist Review** 1.) 742617000027 ⚪️ 2.)
