Hey there! Just an update. Since making a reaction to the live version of this (which you can watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2bapXh9pdSCn6s ), I can say, I get it now. :) I've come a long way since this video, and I actually like this song now. It's not top 10 material to me, but I see when so many of you love it. If you think some kind of follow-up reaction would be worth it, let me know. Have a good one. :)

The entire Iowa album is fueled by rage, hate, drugs and alcohol. You can feel Corey's emotions in the songs. As somebody who was full of rage in my late teens/early twenties this album along with their self titled helped me get through life knowing other people felt this way and it became an outlet to channel my anger instead of a random person or object. Their first two albums will always hold a place in my heart.

Mostly it comes down to Corey's complete mastery of the clean/scream dynamic.

Disasterpiece is one of their heaviest songs, it`s about the time Corey suffered from Bullying and his hate towards it.

This song was never fully about bullying. It is about a mental health crisis going on in the world where if someone sees or a child is told that they don’t have a soul and that every bond they thought they had with someone or special moment was just neurons firing off in their brain. That search for answers drives them insane and problems develop. It’s not about a belief in god but the spread of the truth that nothing matters and if something does happen it’s only a natural reaction that your body does to survive. You are just a clump of cells and nothing else. That’s the meaning of disasterpiece, the human body is the disasterpiece.
@jumpyplays3 жыл бұрын
Iowa is their most brutal album, for many reasons. First of all, Corey used to SH (I'm not even joking) and used those brutal screams for making the Album, most of those screams are also very 'real' with no technique, meaning they are very harmful to his vocal chords, he'd totally ruin his voice after every performance. Second of all, this was recorded when the band was at their darkest time, they had been through a lot, especially Clown (Shawn Crahan), there's a lot to it on the Wiki page, too much to write. I guess these songs are reflective of what the band went through and they wanted some way to express that, and therefore the Iowa album debuted in 2001 with its raw, and brutal aggression. The more you know. That aside, I have some slightly less off-putting suggestions for the next Slipknot reactions you may like: - Gematria (The Killing Name) (AHIG) -- Mick Thomson's Rhythm is brutal in this one. His most technical and impressive work. - The Nameless (Vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses) -- The subject matter is weird (just a heads up) but the way it's composed is interesting. Like the vids btw

Definitely understand this take and your thoughts are valid on it. Early Slipknot as I mentioned were....inbridled rage and anger at the world and their situation. Most members having quite difficult lives, struggling with addictions, and abuse in different forms. Most slipknot fans will probably tell you they prefer this sound, (I admit I am among them) because ultimately, early Slipknot consisted of....."vent" songs, and it spoke to many going through tough times themselves, whilst the current Slipknot is definitely more matured...as they have learned how to properly manage how they feel, conveying friendly....ish accessibility to people newer to metal or songs dealing with dark issues. (Edit: I also understand being overwhelmed by the subject matter and the language choices, because it is ALOT if you're not quite used to it)

Honestly, I would suggest avoiding their first 2 albums because there are more songs similar to one and if not more chaotic. Not the best introduction for those who are starting to listen to Metal, but if you were to do more songs off their first 2 albums, pay close attention to how Corey sets the tone of his voice in each song. There are moments where he goes completely ballistic.

This song is about Corey's high school bully. Someone who tormented him on a constant basis, he absolutely hated the guy. Hence the line "I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound" this was back in the days when Corey was young, angry at the world and fucked up on whatever substance he fancied at the time. IOWA is considered slipknot's most aggressive and heavy album and most of the songs in the album have this level of intensity and aggression, granted disasterpiece is, in my opinion, the angriest song on the album.

This is possibly my favourite Slipknot track (although there are so many!) it has saved my mental health on more than one occasion, which may sound strange, but it's so cathartic in terms of chanelling all that anger and resentment etc. That drum break is one of my favourite musical moments ever (Joey was a genius), note how the guitars take on the drum rhythm - so cool! Then it goes into that slow headbanging section. Amazing. I get that it's a lot to take in when you first hear it - especially the first line being quite shocking, and I apreciate your honesty, you are very genuine in your reactions. I've watched your reaction to the live version too and seen that you have warmed to this track a bit.

Which is why I give them huge props for this song (besides the fact that it's a VERY good one), for having the balls to do something quite "anti-Slipknot" in a sense... but while still retaining their DNA in it.

I did what I could with this one. :) I have to be honest while still being respectful to those who love this song. As for what's next, I'm going through some of the song suggestions I'm seeing, but I'm definitely doing more Slipknot too.

If you want something from this era with more polish, I'd go with My Plague. Disasterpiece has one of the most shocking opening lines of any song ever, but the chorus is weaker than a lot of Slipknot songs. You can hear the beginnings of the Unsainted formula in My Plague.

the song's about a bully that Corey had when he was younger and the song is about how he wants the bully to die

I'm not fully through the video but I already know exactly what your talking about. Like a lot of other comments have said Corey Taylor was fueled by rage in his vocals back then and it shows. Personally I love the rage stuff from slipknot but I'm not a huge fan of disaster piece. Honestly my favourite song instrument wise is "lech" the vocals are a tad .. much, but not as graphic as disaster piece. Lyric wise my favourite has to be unsainted. That song connects to me on a spiritual level. But yeah if you haven't already you might want to check out lech, it's very fast paced but it's good. I tend to associate the lyrics with war in general featuring a line such as "no one is bullet proof" Wich I associate with feudal Japan when they discovered guns🤣🤣 it's pretty cool and I'd love if you react to it!

@LaurenSeeWrites This song is definitely not for everyone haha. You guessed it though, The whole band was pretty angsty and pissed off at this time. The lyrics and music 100% reflect that. For context, The band were in a bad mental state(especially Corey) at this point in time. They nearly broke up a few times. It was just pure drug and alcohol fueled hate for everyone and everything. If you want a glimpse into Coreys mental state in this era you can read up how he made the song Iowa, Its disturbing as hell but really gives some insight into how messed up he was. IMO their Vol 3 album is when they really hit their stride musically. The instrumentals on that album alone are top tier.
