Slipknot's start, November 29, 2005
This review is from: Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat (Audio CD)
I have to say, when i saw this album on amazon.com i nearly had a heart attack. Perfectly aware that only 1000 copies were made of this CD i was stunned and abashed, only to discover it's an import and from the reviews discovered that the quality is poor. Yet, if you are unable to download the songs ((...)) or want the booklet or want a hard copy of the CD, i recomend you buy this. Mate, Feed, Kill, repeat was by far the most incredible CD by Slipknot and really lets the slipknot fan see where the band came from and where the progressions were. I am sorely disappointed that Anders left the band, his voice was deep and dark and worked perfectly. He wasn't as strong as a vocalist as Taylor was, indeed, yet he fit and that's all that really mattered. Gently, as said by another reviewer has one of the hardest guitar riffs one can even attempt to play... the tabs are located at the website mentioned above. This CD is music that was spawned from many different genres unlike the modern day 9-piece disaster that is Slipknot. I'm very disappointed that Paul Grey's amazing bass skills are now quieted and slowed and altered for the new Slipknot. This is a DEFINITE must own for any slipknot fan...

MFKR Review, August 3, 2005
This review is from: Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat (Audio CD)
This is the very first album I ever heard from slipknot.. it hooked me automatically.. I live in charlotte NC.. i first heard Do Nothing/Bitchslap and Gently on an old radio station because the DJ had purchased the album at a concert.. every now and then he would play various songs from it on the radio.. well enough about that..
The Album
Anders I believe did a very good job in this album.. His deep voice and great percussion fronting did great things for the album all together.. rather than review the album as a whole.. why not review each track?
SLIPKNOT - A great song.. the begining is quite long but it is way worth it once it gets into the actual song..
(this song was later changed to the song (SIC) )
Gently - A song I can relate to myself.. but the intro to the song is renowned as one of the hardest riffs to play.. it is a very complicated riff and lasts almost 4 minutes
Do Nothing/ Bitchslap - A Great song.. many think the funk added in makes the song suck.. but I myself think it makes it better
Only One - Not really much to say about it.. good song but I like the remake by the new slipknot better
Tattered And Torn - to many this song is annoying.. lol but i believe its awsome.. better than its latter remake
Confessions - my second favorite song on the album.. Great lyrics and music.. couldnt have been made better if they tried
Some Feel - This song and Killers are Quiet tie as my #1 favorites.. the lyrics are outstanding
Killers Are Quiet - Ladies and Gentlemen.. the best song on the album resides here.. it has the best music and lyrics of any song i've heard by slipknot thus far.. (it was later made into the song IOWA)
Dogfish Rising - Comical.. thats about it lol

SLIPKNOT TREASURE, July 23, 2006
This review is from: Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat (Audio CD)
do you even KNOW what you're calling junk?!THIS IS A COMPLETE TREASURE!(okay,it could be better on the tempo and vocals).but other than that,this is Slipknot HISTORY!the songs were great!Anders really expressed himself on the vocals.Plus,it has awesome songs,like "SLIPKNOT","DO NOTHING",and "KILLERS ARE QUIET".Plus, to make it even better,there's a hidden track on #9 called "DOGFISH RISING"!!!it's kind of a comedy song.it is mostly just sounds for about 5 minutes.Then it builds up into a wierd song.To make a long story short,if you hate MFKR,then you hate Slipknot
(sic)
