IOWA is the title of the second
Slipknot record. It's at least twice as intense as their
eponymous debut, but it comes at the expense of sounding like only four people (
singer,
guitarist,
bassist and the ever-present
drummer), instead of the nine-man
monstrosity they're supposed to be. They've exchanged their spookiness for outright
unprecedented aggression (at least for a
mainstream act). It's up to personal taste to define whether this is an improvement or not.
The track listing is as follows:
01. (515) The area code for central Iowa
02. People=Shit
