Sorry for the bump, I just wanted to add my 2 cents.
Slipknot... only heard their first album, and I felt it was semi-decent at the time. I've "outgrown" that type of music since, at the time I listened to Korn, Fear Factory and Machine head that type of thing, and the only band of the three that still has its place on my MP3 list is FF. Demanufacture was great, Obsolete was better, and Digimortal is one notch below Obsolete, but still very good.
Hell I even based a Doom mod on Obsolete. But then I found EQ and the project died... (
http://www.doomworld.com/securitron .. notice the date of the last update... about the same time my first EQ char was created :P)
I've stayed away from buying Kerrang / Metal Hammer magazines for a few years now, but this thread made me want to look into the newer bands again. Opeth sounds interesting.
these days it's Emperor, Nine Inch Nails on my play list... none of that silly Slipknot stuff.
