It's using this aggression in a more controlled setting that raises them above the usual nu-metal fare. 3 showcases a more mature and experimental Slipknot unfortunately, some of their fans will undoubtedly mistake maturity for selling out, which is certainly not the case since Slipknot can still be as heavy as they want to be. There's also a couple of acoustic tracks here, which some people will (not unjustified) label as sounding a little too much like Stone Sour. The usual Slipknot fare is here (The Blister Exists, Opium of the People, Welcome), while more experimental pieces such as Prelude 3.0, Danger - Keep Away (with it's surprisingly un-Slipknot vocal harmonies), and the hauntingly gothic Vermilion, probably the best track on this CD. It's more accessible, more experimental, and more musically varied, with a good deal of progressive rock influences, and quite a bit of melody infused in the songs.

This album, for the most part, achieves a lot of things. The song Welcome is pretty good as well I forgot to mention, and Opium of the People is awesome but needs to be longer, too short with those awesome guitar riffs. (More so Before I Forget then Duality, I like Duality quite a bit.) So what are the songs I didn't like? Well I don't care that they went into Acoustic Guitar, but the songs The Virus of Life, Circle, and Danger-Keep Away are all very slow non Slipknot sounding songs and they just don't click with me, I couldn't listen to Danger Keep Away very long, because of the inane whispering as well haha. The songs Duality and Before I Forget are the two songs most commonly heard on the radio, but they are still pretty awesome, if not a little formulaic. Pulse of the Maggots and Three Nil have some awesome percussion and guitar, Vermillion is a two part song that is really awesome, having weird sound effects and Corey's insane vocals. The best song on this album imo has to be The Blister Exists, it makes you get up and headbang because its so hardcore! And yes, I am a real metal head, I listen to all the good thrash bands so don't say I'm a poser fools. The rest are all hardcore songs, and anyone who says that its wrong to use Acoustic guitar is ignorant, as they are not just a bunch of clowns hopping on stage for us they are artists, and this was an experiment, a successful one to say the least.

This album is great, but there are a few songs that I felt had no place in a Slipknot album. Where to begin?
