Seriously? Wow*......
K um first of all, I don't really like Slipknot, (Not because of the type of music, I love music like this.) but because of the fact that Corey's voice annoys me. Second of all, in the 'talk about' thing, why does it say teen BOYS? I know plenty of girls that like Slipknot, that's just ridiculious. And about the lyrics themselvs, they don't bother me. My parents let me listen to metal when i was in kindergarden, and I loved it. Lastly, I pretty much think people who actually agree with this site, their kids are probably picked on ALOT. I mean, there is no school with ALL this stuff in it, and NOBODY is innocent anymore. I'm only on this webstie cuz im boreed and I saw the stupid-looking commercial.

Wow. Slipknot is amazing. That's right! Slipknot is the BEST band in the world! Even though I am a girl, I love Slipknot (most guys like it I guess). Yes, they swear. Yes, the lyrics are kind of violent sometimes...BUT, honestly you aren't really listening to the lyrics, you're just listening to the singing, the guitar, drums .etc. If you like rock/metal music I can guarantee that you'll love this! Wow, Slipknot. Awesome job! You never fail to amaze me. Highly recommended! Enjoy :D

I love Slipknot, and the only concern is cussing which kids hear all the time. All hope is Gone is a good album. :)

Great album.
Slipknot, especially on this CD, lets you know that the way you were raised, and what you were taught, isn't the only way. They promote freedom of speech and the right to express yourself. Corey Taylor is certainly a good role model in the fact that he stands up for himself, and explores his feelings, without actually taking it out on someone. He can SING about being violent, but he'd never condone BEING violent.

Ok firstly, not all the people who listen to Slipknot are dudes. I bet at least as many girls like them as guys. Secondly, there are only a few songs on this album that are actually "explicit" and most of the violence in it is only used as a metephor. Overall, there's just a little cursing and some stuff about religeous and political views that are a bit off the beaten path. So this really isn't that bad; it definatley doesn't deserve to be labled "no kids".

second-best slipknot album (RIP Paul Gray)
Slipknot aren't as bad as people say they are. I've been listening to them since I was 10 and have had no problem with the lyrics. I don't think its right to rate this as 'no kids' - it's not as if it's making children violent.

I love Slipknot!
Why do you say just teenage boys? What's wrong with a girl loving Slipknot, because they are one of my favorite bands and I think my username would be weird for a boy. Anyway, I don't think parents should totally control what music their kids (girl or boy) listen to because music, unlike movies and TV, is who we are and if people say "stop listening to Slipknot and here's Justin Bebier". I think NOT FOR KIDS is insane. Clam down is Slipknot.

Slipknot, in its essence, fills the shoes KoRn let for the taking when they hit the mainstream; they are an innovative, perturbing band that deal with the hell of adolescence. The sound is made by misfits, for the misfits. The lyrics are thoughtful and straight-forward, speaking directly to a disaffected generation of teens desperately in need of a release. The language may be filled with expletives and violence, but behind the curses lies a strong message of endurance against all odds, of surmounting personal problems and dealing with them head-on. The idea is that though you might be suffering and all hope seems gone, many share your pain and with some intense rocking-out, things will seem better and you'll manage to get through. Slipknot comes from small town in the Midwest and has dedicated its musical career to express the frustration and anguish of kids who feel pent up in difficult and often intolerable lives. They do so with considerable musical talent; once you get a taste for the deep, intense riffing and machine-gun drumming they use, you'll find a great deal of musical refinement and interesting dynamics; this band has grown. Having said that, stay (sic) maggots!

Aweome cd, and im 13
There nothing wrong with it, its not like its talkinga bout decapitating heads, you people have to understand your kids are probably made fun of because they cant do anything and probably go to bed at seven (even if they are teenagers) only reason i know about this site is that somethin was on tv about this and I thought it was dumb and you people were wrong, and u are.

ALMOST the Best Slipknot album! Love it!
I'm a teenager and i LOVE Slipknot. i was looking through this site, and i was thinking "are you kidding me?!?" I mean really...I'm a girl too. Slipknot is not just for boys. Have you ever paid attention to the meaning behind the lyrics? That's what you should listen to. They teach everyone to stand up for what they believe in, and they give us hope. EVERYONE should have this and LISTEN to it (Snuff, All Hope is Gone, Psychosocial, Child of Burning Time) just to name a few. You won't regret it \m/ Stay (Sic) maggots!

Okay for anyone high school age or older.
I just want to say that I found it offensive that this album got two :( for message, and the only thing that they sited was questioning authority "particularly religious institutions". Young people should be questioning authority, ESPECIALLY religious organizations, that often (not always, but often) have a bad message themselves. Questioning authority isn't a bad message, rebelling just for the sake of rebelling is. The only bad message I can think of on this album is the violence, but frankly, kids see so much of that anyways through what's on television and in the movies, and even the books we have to read for school this won't be anything new for any teenager in America.

SUPER MEGA ULTRA AWESOME : D
I'm 16 and I'm a girl and I LOVE Slipknot. ^_^ I haven't been a fan for long, but I am completely in love with the music. There's just some swearing, but overall it' a pretty freakin' awesome album. I like how the lyrics aren't just some random stupid stuff that doesn't make sense... the lyrics that Slipknot writes actually have a meaning to them. I think it really depends on how mature someone is in order to be able to listen to certain bands--Slipknot being one of them.

To the parents who honestly care
Slipknot may produce violent types of music but I have found that they help to vent anger in teens who are the victims of bullies and uncaring adults. Their music is mention to find a not so violent outcome and to encurage kids to be proud of themselves and proud to be fans of such a monumental movement

Perfect for adults
It's an alright cd but lyrical themes in this album are not recommended for kids under the age of 12

This album pretty much expresses my beliefs for me. Not much else to say about it. It can be iffy for younger listeners, but that's why this pretty "PARENTAL ADVISORY" thing is on it. I realize I selected the things for positive AND negative messages, and that was on purpose, because that part depends on the song you're listening to.
