"Ahhh, has it really been 10 years? One of Slipknots best albums before they started to go downhill... I just wanna say I am still a fan, but the self titled and iowa was when Slipknot was in their prime. I don't care for their new stuff really but they do have some ok hard tracks. Anyways back to the 10th Anniv. I am sure a lot of people bought this for Purity. Me as well. I do own the original cd with Frail Limb Nursery and Purity. Sadly I only have the case due to someone who has the cd that I could never get it back now. (Long story) which pisses me off. So I figured it be nice to own a copy of it again. Plus we get a bunch of Remixes and B-sides and a DVD. The DVD is great, bunch of cool stuff to see and a whole live concert. You also see Clowns old drum tech who is one of the singers from the band downthesun. What more could you ask for?....oh yeah... how about FRAIL LIMB NURSERY!? What the hell happened? The intro to Purity is just amazing and they leave it out? WHY? The had to remove F.L.N. and Purity due to legal reasons, and now they are able to put Purity back on an album and they just get rid of the intro to the song? I feel like this album is incomplete. Anyone hoping to have the original CD that they were never were able to get will be disappointed. Sure it may not seem like a big deal to some, but to others it is. I like to own a REAL copy of songs.



Pros:

-One of the best albums they released with a bunch of extra tracks

-Has over 20 songs

-Comes with a DVD with about an hour of just randomness which in some parts are funny as hell

-A whole live concert

-Brings you back to when slipknot was real heavy





Cons:

-They didn't put Frail Limb Nursery on the album which should be.

-Most of the Remixes/B-Sides where already released on the Digipack version which you can still buy easily unlike the few that were only on the wait and bleed single which is not as easy to find. So there is really nothing new to this album at all...

-Wish they could of added some older songs like songs from Crowz, or other B-sides, Demos, Remixes that haven't been released from that era.





Overall this is a good re-re-re-release cd of this album if you don't own the other 3 versions of it (which I currently do) The only real reason to buy this album is for the DVD. If you are just getting into Slipknot then I would highly recommend buying this then the other versions of the self titled album.
