Erm.. Cradle are good again? It'sbeen a while since I've listened to anything new tbh, but they fell pretty far into shite at one point.

Is this not considered their first album then ?

 

 

Only by “I prefer their early work” hipster types. I don’t think the band even consider it the first album. First release maybe, but the self-titled is definitely the first album

Their last 2 albums are really good and worth checking out.

Clown's somehow risen to being the credited leader of the band's creative direction in the ensuing years, because he does their visuals and sounds really pretentious in interviews about what they do.

He does the bit where it goes 'ding' in Duality, too. 

Yeah, Clown annoys me. Always banging on about his 'art' and whatnot. 

With regards to the writing I always thought it was Jordison and Paul Gray who were the primary writers early on. Its rare that a band loses its two main songwriters and continues to grow. Guess that just highlights the strengh of Slipknot as a brand.

If I remember correctly they co-wrote the self-titled except 'Wait & Bleed', him and Gray both co-wrote Iowa together then took the songs to the studio for the others to tart up, and from then on all the others had proper input. Hence why the first two albums don't have any guitar solos.

In that case, Mushroomhead should've been one of the biggest bands in the world

I'm sure I can't be the only person on this forum who has a negative association with the Clown for other reasons..

Someone said hes turning into a character from the Sabotage video.

He looks like Gordon Ramsay going undercover in one of his kitchen nightmares. He’s wearing a syrup isn’t he?
