When did Slipknot fall off?

[Hermann von Salsa]

I've listened through their entire catalogue and I enjoyed at least one song from each album. Although it feels like after Jordy left there's just been something missing that I can't really explain. The new guys they've brought on have been great but still something is missing,

Idk somewhere around All Hope Is Gone maybe? Or at least that feels like the point where they started becoming a lot less culturally relevant.

I feel like it was all down hill after they kicked Joey.

Must have been after "Iowa". Used to be huge into them back in '99, "Iowa" sounded good but wasn't quite the same (for me), and lost track of them after the following album.

This is the Slipknot I grew up with, there was nothing like 'em at the time. It was amazing.

I am old enough to remember downloading this same video off of Kazaa on dial-up internet.

Also, they made it super easy for me to fall into the Death Metal rabbithole. Back then I had never heard blast beats before, they introduced me to a whole new subgenre, then slowly grew out of them.

Momentum seemed to die after all hope is gone and grey chapters while having some good stuff leaned a little to stone sour.

They didn't fall off, they just got left behind, we let it all slip away.

I just thought about it, what if it was when Corey Taylor was on Nostalgia Critic's The Wall review

The first 3 albums were different enough that I feel like you could argue it happened after each subsequent release. If it wasn't for their technical achievement of turning the keg into a percussion instrument, you might not even be able to say they have a specific sound.

This was my dimensional merge.
