The Disasterpiece Experience

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

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. :)

[@mattboselli1099]

You know not growth, not on drugs most of them. Yearly knot was very intense. So is there newer work, I don't really know what im trying to say I guess its just they just can't compare there self to then and now justcsaying

[@johnhester2864]

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.

[@zombiespongebob6903]

spot on with your comment. I bet that 2001 to 2003 was a blur to them. No regrets. So brutal for its time.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

[@martinw2235]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee Iowa is when I discovered Slipknot for myself and will always be my favorite, but I also love songs like Unsainted, Killpop, Snuff, etc. They have more misses (for me) on recent albums than they did on their first two, but there are still some absolute hits. Mostly it comes down to Corey's complete mastery of the clean/scream dynamic.

[@Yamatsu7]

Disasterpiece is one of their heaviest songs, it`s about the time Corey suffered from Bullying and his hate towards it. The IOWA album itself is slipknot`s heaviest, for a person that doesn`t like their ``heavy side`` too much i would recommend to stay away from it for now hahaha. If you want a very calm nice song from them, try Circle.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Yeah, I don't think I'm ready for this level yet. I blame you all. You led me astray. haha! :) I'll add that one to my list.

[@johnnyboy8603]

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.

[@jumpyplays]

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

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Thanks for the info! I'll add those songs to my list. :)

[@zombiespongebob6903]

I agree with "John Hesters" comments. This was an Album influenced by some negative things at its time of production and it shows. It also distance them from all the nu-metal and metal from that time. Definitely their heaviest album to date, in my opinion. There was also a DVD that came out after this album called "Disasterpieces" that is worth a watch. Its one of the most fun live concert videos i have seen. I respect that you tapped before the second listen, its not for everyone. Love your honesty in your reviews. Keep them coming!

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

I gave it my best shot. Hopefully I was fair in my commentary. :)

[@MadmanReadsRocks]

Disasterpiece is one of my favorites off Iowa. I recall when it first came out I ended up listening to the whole album for free at my local record store. It instantly resonated with me. Of course, I was an angst ridden 17 yr old at the time and my first gf had just dumped me. At one point I shouted out loud "F*** yeah! Someone finally understands me!" The manager then told me to quiet down. Good times, good times. Lol

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Thanks for sharing this. I had a feeling this song really resonated with people. And still does. I'm just not one of those people. :)

[@Jo_youwhatmate]

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)

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Thanks for the info. I'm getting quite a Slipknot education in the comment section. I appreciate it! Music means a lot to people, and I had a feeling this song in particular would go in that category, so while it's not my taste, I wanted to remain unbiased and see the value in it. Hopefully I did that. Vent songs (perfect label for this) are important, and I wanted to respect that. Thanks for watching. :)

[@thegodofwine8228]

This is the song that people tell 'new to slipknot' people to listen to by mistake, then they hate them...the onramp to slipknot runs through other songs. Actually, if you really think about it, "Disasterpiece' is a fucking brilliant name for this song...it is a Disasterpiece, like on purpose, its a masterful mess.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Yes, love the name. Luckily I've heard enough of their other songs to stick around, because honestly, if this was my Slipknot intro? I'd probably bail out.

[@givenspade]

fun fact: Jay grew up listening to Slipknot and you can find a few pictures of him meeting the band in 1999 when he was 10 years old. Since his dad is Max Weinberg it wasn't hard to get him to meet them I bet. If you want a more mainstream song I highly recommend The Devil In I

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

How cool! Devil in I is my...4th favorite Slipknot song. At least today. Love that one. :)

[@theoneandonlysheep]

First two albums are probably too heavy, lyrically and sound-wise. Songs like Vermilion, Sulfur, and Duality will likely resonate better.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Pt 1 is on my list, but the others I've heard. And yeah, I think I'll save those albums for later. :)

[@effindave6909]

You can tell this is early slipknot because it's not over-produced. There first three albums (i'm including MFKR here) are all very raw. I've been a fan since day one and I still am but there's been a serious loss of soul in their music from Volume 3 on. I'm not saying that they don't make good music because they obviously do, It's just not the same now.

[@sonder152]

MFKR is their best

[@leonidasneves7972]

Vol.3 is amaizng tho

[@FlyboyHelosim]

Basically, this is Slipknot. The stuff a lot of the newer fans are into such as anything after 'All Hope Is Gone' is a watered-down, shadow, of what Slipknot once was.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

I was wondering this. Almost like two groups of Slipknot fans?

[@FlyboyHelosim]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee Well if you want to get really into it, probably three groups. The very first album with a different vocalist, "Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat." has its own cult following.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Now that's a title.

[@FlyboyHelosim]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee Indeed it is. Literally nobody ever reacts to that album, so might be an idea for you to react to a song from it. The lyrics are totally tame compared to later Slipknot, but musically it's rather unique. The song "Do Nothing/Bitchslap", for example, is a combination of death metal, disco, and jazz! Most other songs were reworked and re-recorded on later albums with Corey on vocals... some with name changes.

[@Jo_youwhatmate]

@@FlyboyHelosim I would say four groups. I have consistently been and know many who are also fans of Slipknot all the way through. Some like the unbridled rage, others like the matured and calculated aggression....others love it all

[@isaacmendez8491]

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. It is clear that the Iowa album is not the right sound for you but we would love to see you react to the entire album to have a grasp of how they felt back in 2001.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

The thought of doing this entire album is overwhelming. Maybe someday. But today is not that day. :)

[@Ginger-BradMan]

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. Loved your reaction and can't wait to see what you think of the rest of their music.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Thanks for watching! I'd say simply being in a band like this is a pretty solid F you to the bully, eh?

[@Yamatsu7]

What you said about Corey`s voice is kind of true, back then he didn`t use any vocal technique for his screams and that made him almost ``lose his voice``, by the 3 album this alongside drinking and smoking made his voice change completely. He realized the importance of this a few years back.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

And we're all thankful. :)

[@abimyers2446]

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.

Corey's voice is amazing, and the way he can capture his emotions through his lyrics makes him an instant classic. imo. that said i fkn love Joey Jordison on drums. brutally quick with all the usual metal drum chops, but inventive and not afraid to pull from other styles. i think Slipknot lost some of that drive to push boundaries when Joey 'left'. but Corey is still awesome, and the boys can still crank out some heavy tunes;)

the reason why coreys voice is kinda weird in this album is because corey was an extreme alcoholic at the time. in a q&a he said that he would drink 3 bottles of jack daniels a day wich dropped his voice and made it super raspy. edit: forgot to mention, the screaming technique, or lack thereof he used in the first two albums was INCREDIBLY destructive to his voice and made his talking voice and singing voice super weak. the upside though is it feels a lot more genuine. around Vol.3 he learned from a vocal teacher to do it the healthy way.

By the way... judging by your opinion on their music so far, what side/aspect of their art you enjoy the most... I highly recommend "If Rain Is What You Want", from their .5: The Gray Chapter album. It's one of their most un-characteristic songs they ever put out, more or less crossing the bridge into doom metal territory in some regards... very experimental for them, to say the least. 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.

Also, hopefully you'll listen to the entirety of the IOWA album (which marks it's 20th anniversary this year!) - it's one of the darkest, most nihilistic, misanthropic, hate-filled to a tangible level and heavy albums not only of the decade, but in the entire metal genre. A real landmark that made elitist metalheads give respect to Slipknot's "nu-metal".

[@StirbMensch]

Mind you, everyone in the media/labels/whatever expected them to put out something even more commercially successful/catchy in terms of the 2nd album, after the unexpected success of their self-titled debut. IOWA was a big "fuck you!" to those expectations. They really went into very dark places, mentally (the band were at each other's throats while recording this album, since pretty much right after touring extensively to promote their first album, they already had to get back in the studio and produce this) to create this monstrosity of an album.

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've heard this about 372 times. :)

[@jessemace7589]

Everytime I hear you say its so manic I just gotta say you need to check out Periphery- stranger things or the bad thing. Their vocalist is insanely talented. If you can find the groove theyre amazing.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Sounds interesting. I'll give it a go. :)

[@mattias3312]

You’ve ventured far into the slipknot worm hole. Lol

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

You said it.

[@swamprabbit66]

The whole thing I think is sic

[@humlepung4812]

I think you would really like Nomadic.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Well, I'd like to find out. Going on the list, thanks. :)

[@darthgoober4657]

@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.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Yep, this is what pain sounds like.

[@HellSpartanZ]

Yeah im watching your reaction to it again two months later What about it LOL

[@TheMenz24]

I miss Corey’s old voice. But I love him none the less

[@kaceylinne344]

[@aceventurapetdetective1736]

try "Slipknot People Equals Shit Live In London 2002" Its basically them in their live prime.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

I will get to this. :)

[@atomicr4y472]

Yeah this song can be a serious turn off for new fans if they aren't prepared. But it does come from a very emotional place and I do appreciate the effort, however drastic and even unethical to a point, that it took to male this song.

[@kenrichards4838]

I’d f it too if I went through hard work of making the hole imma effen it

[@TRIUMVIRATEMEDIA]

For me Iowa is the best album

[@psychosocial1917]

You gotta do Slipknot - Spit it out live at download 2009!

[@buddykaiser2380]

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Which videos? All the Slipknot ones are blocked in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, & Syria. Sorry!

[@kud1695]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee not all of them are blocked Also Im not in any of these countries !

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Hmm, I don't know then!

[@HellSpartanZ]

LOL dude everyone loves the Iowa album the most they may have grown as musicians but everyone always goes back to the Iowa album but u know Each to their own

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

So do you like their current stuff more? Because for me, there's no question. :)

[@HellSpartanZ]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee Yes & no there a few songs in my top ten slipknot songs like Orphan, Not long for this world, Critical darling the rest is basically songs from The grey chapter like skeptic, AOV, The devil in i & Lech i love all their songs but some r Top tier for me

[@mattwells1772]

I don't think your made for slipknot love!! Iowa is their best work! U just don't get it!!

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Eh, I do get it. People who watch reaction videos aren't used to someone being honest enough to say when they don't like something. This song is not for me, but I respect that it means a lot to people. THAT I get, 100%. :)

[@mattwells1772]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee your opinion I guess

[@madirrfakir]

Heh, jeden z lepszych kawałków. Iowa to najlepsza płyta .
