Now, don't get me wrong here. I'm no metal head and I laughed my nuts off at Slipknot at Leeds 2000 as they pranced around in their daft masks, screaming at all the kids to "get down on your fucking knees". However, since relocating Lurtz Towers I've been spending a lot of time in my new kitchen sipping wine, cooking ace stuff and listening to Kerrang Radio. This let me to a moment of clarity - that I've always liked Duality by Slipknot. A belting, gritty, gutsy noise of a tune. So curiosity got the better of me and I went and got myself a copy of Vol.3 The Subliminal Verses. Bugger me, what an album that is. Absolutely superb. It's not just a racket. It had me hooked from the first track. There are one or two sublimely beautiful tracks on there, spliced together with some other fantastically gutsy shouting bassy fuck-off-fests. I would seriously recommend anyone who's got an interest in music (Radio 1 listeners and X-Factor watchers need not apply) to give it a blast and keep an open mind. And if anyone's got any recommendations of stuff along similar lines I'd be grateful. I'll never be a full time metal head but I've always been a fan of Maiden, AC/DC etc and I'm seriously surprised at just well good this album matches up to good rock music. \m/
