- People = Shit. The anthem. The mantra by which all maggots live by. One of the best opening songs by any metal band that hits with such gusto and malice you struggle to recover until the end of the record.
- Disasterpiece. ‘I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound’ is the most violent line to ever feature in an album that reached number one in the UK. Imagine that happening today.
- The Heretic Anthem. Hail Satan! That’s what metalheads are supposed to shout, isn’t it? We all bloody love that big red bloke who lives underground… or maybe it’s Corey Taylor we love.
- My Plague. The song that made Slipknot megastars, partly thanks to its inclusion in Resident Evil but also thanks to its MASSIVE chorus. One of Iowa’s more accessible songs due to the clean vocals, it stills carries that threatening edge like the rest of the record.
- People = Shit. It couldn’t really be anything else, could it? People = Shit is one of Slipknot’s most iconic songs and up there with the best the band have ever put their name to.
- Left Behind. Iowa’s lead single, Left Behind is certainly the most radio-friendly thing on the album, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy-going. Nominated for the 2002 GRAMMY for Best Metal Performance – an award that was eventually won by Tool for Schism – it’s an impressive example of Slipknot’s crossover appeal, as the band take a more melodic approach while retaining all the unbridled fury that characterises their heaviest material.
- Disasterpiece. ‘I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound.’ Yep, someone pissed off Corey Taylor really bad. Using that hatred as the fuel for Disasterpiece’s raging wildfire of aggression, Slipknot are electric here as they lay waste to all who dare cross their path.
- My Plague. My Plague is one of Iowa’s more melodic tracks, but Corey’s lyrics more than make up for that. ‘ Kill you, fuck you, I will never be you’ is the glorious lyrical refrain that most sticks out from a song that, thanks to its inclusion in Resident Evil, set Slipknot on the path to stardom.
Makes sense id have to go Iowa self titled volume 3 (before I forget pulse of the maggots vermilion1 and 2 and duality are just way to popular and then there's a few hidden gems like the blister exits opium of the people and the nameless then WANYK.

Sep 21, 2022 · The legacy of Iowa is a towering one, and the biggest risk Slipknot have taken in their 26-year career. Five years ago, when Metal Hammer crowned Iowa the greatest metal album of the 21st century, we noted that without the album’s immense influence on countless bands, today’s metal landscape would look very different.
