Details: Product description Iowa, the follow-up to the groundbreaking self-titled debut album, turned hard rock and metal on its head with its aggression and brutal sounds. It remains a classic 10 years later and this release celebrates this one of a kind album cycle.Iowa is certified Platinum and Rolling Stone said: « Iowa is not just the first great record of the nu-metal era – it’s better than that. »The album spawned the singles « Left Behind » and « My Plague » plus Slipknot classics « People=Shit, » « The Heretic Anthem » and « Disasterpiece. »The 10th Anniversary Special Edition features 2 CDs and 1 DVD. It includes the original Iowa album plus a bonus remix, the audio from the legendary « Disasterpieces » concert filmed in London in 2002. The DVD includes a brand new hour long film by the M. Shawn « Clown » Crahan that documents the chaotic Iowa cycle. Amazon.ca Right from the introductory shriek and grind of « (515), » you know Slipknot are deadly serious about making a real heavy metal album. Iowa is intimidating in its unforgiving heaviness. Produced to perfection by wunderkind Ross Robinson, it takes the best of Slayer as a starting point. « People = Shit, » « The Heretic Anthem, » and « New Abortion » are relentless and wholly brutal, but this is no mere thrash. « Disasterpiece » features a weird, hypnotic riff, while « Left Behind » comes across like a duet between Alice in Chains’ Layne Staley and Slayer’s Tom Araya. The rerecorded « Gently » builds slowly from industrial atmospherics to a punishing explosion of noise. The title track (also old and formerly known as « Killers Are Quiet ») is a deeply unsettling heavy-metal « Midnight Rambler. » Frontman Corey Taylor claims to have performed it naked and bleeding from self-inflicted wounds, which isn’t hard to believe. This masterfully constructed collection is painfully raw and utterly compelling. –Dominic Wills
