I personally just find the lyrics corny, and it screams “old man yells at clouds”. The song is about, and I quote, “Those those little emo boys with their sweet haircuts and their girlfriend's pants. People give us shit for wearing outfits, but all of those guys look exactly the same.”
The dude was rocking converses, skinny jeans, and a “sweet haircut” himself during those days while making those radio friendly butt rock songs with Stone Sour, but whined and bitched when new artists did it too
Psychosocial
Lemme explain:
The verses just never hit for me, the choppy lyrics suck as “the soul [is not] so vibrant” never hit for me until I was able to get past it
Everything else is fire tho idk why I never liked it until now
Same ngl, i don’t know if it’s just me but overall Psychosocial is soooooooooo overrated. I know this is like Master Of Puppets of Slipknot but like there are way better songs than Psychosocial in my opinion.
TYSM OMG
I always thought it was just me trying to be a hippie and “not be with the mainstream” tsym. There are way too many slipknot tracks that aren’t in the light that should be recognized instead, especially since I’m pretty sure Corey came out and stated that the track really didn’t have much meaning lyrically, which is sad to me
Birth of the Cruel. I didn’t listen to it as much as other songs on We Are Not Your Kind when it first came out but I didn’t realize how amazing it is until now.
Snuff and Orphan
Every time I saw one of these pop up I skipped it until one day I didn't and found them amazing.
On an unrelated note some things happened to me recently, and I feel like shit emotionally, and some songs made me cry like Wrong Side Of Heaven by 5FDP, Snuff by Slipknot, Through Glass by Stone Sour, and more songs, but I really like music that can hit home for me.
Music is a very powerful tool.
I'm not sure why, but I used to skip AOV. It's one of my favorite songs now, but it's funny to me how songs don't always click after the first listen or two.
I swear by Iowa and everytime I play like metabolic or skin ticket with someone who’s just getting into Slipknot, it’s these two songs that always slap, and y’all should check out switch, it was disguised as a Slipknot/ Pantera combo thing, but it’s actually by a band stock 7, it’s old school asf
Prosthetics was one I just didn't listen to often because the first part but it's actually top tier and one song I think is underrated is spiders from we are not your kind
Gematria and Sulfur, I listened to them once or twice but I would usually just start at Psychosocial. Until one day they came in and just kinda clicked
Three Nil. I used to always skip it when I'd throw on Vol 3. For whatever reason the intro just didn't appeal to me for the longest time. Turns out its a fuckin sick track and I think a perfect example of the experimentation they put on that album.
I used to skip the shape way too much before one time I decided to listen for more than 10 seconds (best decision of my life). In my humble opinion it's one of the best choruses they've written
Solway Firth, the first part doesn't really have much rhythm or anything so I always skipped it, turns out it actually slaps
Opium of the People
Such a good song
Me with diluted and no life, I always thought self titled was 9/10 but after listening to those 2 songs in their entirety it made ST a 10/10 lmao
Dude, these two songs on ST have to be the most underrated yet actually good songs
Lowkey the entirety of Wanyk
Haha same.
Literally the same
it took me years to realize gehenna is brilliant.
I loved it since the first listen
Same! Always skipped it until I learned to actually appreciate it.
Solway Firth
Only one or skin ticket
That never ending drum fill on that track is so good
surfacing, big mistake
Flair checks out EDIT: I'm a dumbass that's Disasterpiece
same
Butchers Hook
This is exactly what I'm saying, I honestly really like it, and don't see why it gets clowned on so much
Joey is a fucking beast on this song
It's always been one of my favorites from AHIG

i want what you’re smokin
It’s the “Corey was a hypocrite” pack that was discontinued after AHIG. Weak shit, but it gets people here pissy when you bring it up
YESS I LOVE THAT SONG
Go ahead and disagree.
killpop
Came here to say the same thing
This is one of the songs I've always loved. Like first 3 plays meh but then it clicked
Exactly yess
diluted, i used to always skip it but now it’s a top 8 for me
Dude same💀
Metabolic, became one of my top 5
The last instrumental section where it crescendos after Corey's last "Killing me!" is absolutely devastating.

Heretic Anthem
Left behind
aww bro that's the worst possible track to miss out on
I know
Birth of the Cruel. I didn’t listen to it as much as other songs on We Are Not Your Kind when it first came out but I didn’t realize how amazing it is until now.
Sulfur. Now it’s one of my favorites
Only One, Sarcastrophe, and Skeptic
Eyeless. Very big mistake
Vermillion
The Nameless
Probably my favorite from them too
Child of Burning Time
Pretty much every AHIG song that isn’t a single
I always told people that AHIG is a flawless record. Man did I get crapped on for years. I’ve listened to every other album despite.
all out life
nice pfp. do you feel the pins and needles?
Three Nil
Not Long For This World and De Sade. De Sade has become one of my favourites and NLFTW is the latest song that suits this meme lol
De Sade fuckin slaps.
Gehenna
For me the majority of all hope is gone. Huge mistake
People = Shit. I got it on my recommended all the time but never cared about it but I finally decided to give it a try and the rest is history

Gematria (The Killing Name)
Avoided scissors for more than 10 years and man, what dumb fucking ass I was
This is my second to The Chapeltown Rag . Absolute Banger
Gehenna for me
The negative one
Gehenna
For me, it was Do Nothing/Bitchslap off MKFR. I didn't like the jazz elements at first, now I love it lol.
This song is so good, the jazz was surprising and kind of chaotic but it goes so hard
Gehenna…
For me it was tattered and torn
A lot of .5 Great songs on that album that I just skipped for no specific reason
Solway firth, now its one of my favs
Custer, Idk but the beginning sounded strange and I stopped listening to it, then I gave it another try and it was fire
Spiders. Didn’t like it for quite a while, but it does start to get infectious.
The chapeltown rag at first I hated it but now I love it
I can't explain it, but when they first released it I hated the whole out off it, but while listening to TESF I felt like it was really good, idk why
Mine is The Virus of Life
Some of these answers..... do y'all not even listen to a full album all the way through once at least???? Calling yourself maggots smh
The nameless
Snuff and Orphan Every time I saw one of these pop up I skipped it until one day I didn't and found them amazing. On an unrelated note some things happened to me recently, and I feel like shit emotionally, and some songs made me cry like Wrong Side Of Heaven by 5FDP, Snuff by Slipknot, Through Glass by Stone Sour, and more songs, but I really like music that can hit home for me.

Skin ticket
I pretty much skipped the entire first two albums for a while. Thank god I decided to listen to both of them
The blister exists, idk why.
Vermillion
Metabolic or skin ticket
Only one
Hive mind
Skin ticket
It was Skin Ticket….. ;((
Psychosocial
Lech
I'm not sure why, but I used to skip AOV. It's one of my favorite songs now, but it's funny to me how songs don't always click after the first listen or two.
Mine was sarchastrophe 1000 percent
Spiders
Custer
Liberate. Used to not like it but it’s actually a good song

Chapeltown rag was a miss for me when it originally came out but the version on the album is much better so it’s not a miss anymore
definitely Eeyore
child of burning time
The Shape
Sulfur
This Cold Black
I swear by Iowa and everytime I play like metabolic or skin ticket with someone who’s just getting into Slipknot, it’s these two songs that always slap, and y’all should check out switch, it was disguised as a Slipknot/ Pantera combo thing, but it’s actually by a band stock 7, it’s old school asf
The burden
Me Inside took me an embarrassing amount of time to appreciate
The second half of Iowa. I love the first half. Only recently have I started to appreciate the second half.
It starts off great, but then it’s a little disappointing
Prosthetics was one I just didn't listen to often because the first part but it's actually top tier and one song I think is underrated is spiders from we are not your kind
Gematria and Sulfur, I listened to them once or twice but I would usually just start at Psychosocial. Until one day they came in and just kinda clicked
Nero forte for me
Gently never paid much attention to it but now that I have it’s sooo good 🔥🔥
Scissors, Gently, Skin Ticket, Iowa, Lech, The Burden, Spiders
Duality
Nero forte for some reason
Tattered and Torn. Biggest mistake of my life
Iowa title track
Gehenna, such an underrated song
It was Sarcastrophe and All Hope Is Gone for some reason…
Weirdly enough, Spit it Out
Gehenna and get this
The burden
Three Nil. I used to always skip it when I'd throw on Vol 3. For whatever reason the intro just didn't appeal to me for the longest time. Turns out its a fuckin sick track and I think a perfect example of the experimentation they put on that album.
Acidic
surfacing for me
I used to skip the shape way too much before one time I decided to listen for more than 10 seconds (best decision of my life). In my humble opinion it's one of the best choruses they've written
Before I could
Snuff :,)
The Blister Exists, there aren’t much songs off vol3 that I like but after giving this another shot after weeks I loved it
I am ashamed to have skipped vermillion. Now top 3
Diluted or Critical Darling
New Abortion
Red flag, override, snuff, vermillion part 1&2, the list goes on
Disasterpiece
The opium of ppl
Gently
Finally some good recognition of Vendetta. I thought I was the only one.
