"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"

"If you're reading this I would suppose that you own the EPONYMOUS Slipknot disc... You know the one where the first track is 742617000027. You know what that number is, that's right, the barcode of the original release of MATE. FEED. KILL. REPEAT

The tracks are (1)Slipknot (2)Gently (3)Do Nothing/Bitchslap (4)Only One (5)Tattered and Torn (6)Confessions (7)Some Feel (8)Killers are Quiet. After a duration of blank silence a hidden song comes in "Dogfish Rising." Just for you'll know, three of these songs have redentions on succeeding releases. Tracks 4 & 5 were done on the EPONYMOUS release and track 2 was reworked for IOWA. However, they sound so much greater in their original form. Artistic they are, how can a metal band get a sound that sound like an mellow orchestra go straight mosh pit and at any given moment begin rapping or at one point even get the disco/funk sound going. Yeah, for a moment I thought ol' school Incubus was in the partymix. Although my copy is downloaded and I don't have "Dogfish Rising." This is still a cherished prize. Even more than either of my copies of the EPONYMOUS CD (which one has "Frail Limb Nursery" and "Purity" instead of "Me Inside"). Greater than IOWA and THE SUBLIMINAL VERSES. Oh by the way, I thought #8 & #4 (Corey Taylor & James Root resepectively) were on this disc. I'll have to research that info. Buy it, it's fantastic!!!!!!!"

Slipknot's start

"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..."
