...extraneous in the art of beat-building. In dance music, song structure is irrelevant, for at its home on the floor, there is neither need nor desire for a beginning and end; it’s all mixed together. Without something to latch onto—a hook, a chorus, a person—-dance music simply exists, providing nothing other than its own pulse. Hordes of indignant listeners and curmudgeonly rock critics have rallied against the apparent coldness and artificiality of disco, as well as sonic offspring like house, techno, and breakbeat. Yet dance music has always...
...fair, the cover isn’t really all that bad. The band adds some interesting sneers to the original chorus of “whoos,” and heck, they even kept the falsetto. Moving to the rest of their catalogue, though, reveals a much-repeated combination of jittery rhythms and angsty vocals which express either whiny frustration or scrunch-faced resolve, and not much else.

"All around the crickets are singing their nightly chorus--and so many different types of song, it is hard to imagine...An owl is hooting about a half-mile down the gorge, and before supper we heard the weird call of the hyena--which means His Lordship the Lion is around somewhere...At the moment I must stop...
...band’s message is one of violent individualism, a sentiment that was hammered home on Tuesday in the chorus of the band’s opening track, “People=Shit,” which saw the entire crowd exploding forth with the title again and again as band members screamed, jumped and pummeled each other, setting the stage for crowd’s insanity with their own. The lyrical content of Slipknot’s music is, at alternating points, poetic, enigmatic and even disturbing. Several lines from “Disasterpiece” illustrate...
