Reviews"...Brutal, Unrelenting, Scorching...", Ranked #6 in Nme's 50 "Albums of the Year 2001"., 3 1/2 stars out of 5 - "...The barely relenting, tumbling noise attack marshalled by nu-metal uber-producer Ross Robinson is expert...", 4 stars out of 5 - "...Next to IOWA's hell-hop polydrumming and nail-bomb showers of soprano-drone guitar and sampled squeal, nearly everything else in modern doom rock sounds banal....With IOWA Slipknot go to the head of the slag heap, the new kings of extreme...", 8 out of 10 - "...Exhilarating, brutal and good....Like the art of the insane, every possible space is covered in scrawl and cymbals...", 7 out of 10 - "...Like having a plastic bag taped over your head for an hour while Satan uses your scrotum as a speedbag....It is over the top...you're going to be left in stitches...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Beneath the grim textures of the music lay heartbreak, misanthropy, pessimism and alienation....Some of the music was quite brilliant.", 4 Stars Out of 5-"...A Punk Pipebomb Pointed at the Mainstream and Ready to Blow..."
