'''''Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)''''' is the third [[studio album]] by American [[Heavy metal music|metal]] band [[Slipknot (band)|Slipknot]]. It was released on [[May 25]], [[2004]] by [[Roadrunner Records]], and a special edition version of the album containing a [[Bonus track|bonus disc]] was released on [[April 12]], [[2005]]. It is the first and only album by the band to be [[Record producer|produced]] by [[Rick Rubin]].
After the band ended the tour for its second album in 2002, speculation regarding the future began after some band members exercised side projects including [[Murderdolls]], [[To My Surprise]], and the re-establishment of [[Stone Sour]]. However, in 2003, Slipknot moved into [[The Mansion]] to work on the album. Initially, the band was unproductive, with lead vocalist Corey Taylor drinking heavily. Nevertheless, they eventually managed to write more than enough material for the new album, releasing five singles. It was the band's first album to incorporate more traditional song structures as well as considerably more melody and acoustic guitars.
The album was met with generally positive reviews. It received a score of 70% on review aggregator [[Metacritic]] based on 12 reviews. The album peaked within the top ten in album sales across eleven countries, and went on to become classified Platinum in the United States. The band also received the [[Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance]] for the single "[[Before I Forget (song)|Before I Forget]]".
==Recording and production==
''Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)'' was recorded with producer [[Rick Rubin]] at [[The Mansion]] in Los Angeles, California.<ref name="2003studio-MH">{{cite news |work = [[Metal Hammer]] |date = 2003-11-11 |url = http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/article/?id=41607 |title = Slipknot Studio Update |accessdate = 2008-06-14}}</ref> Prior to entering The Mansion, speculation regarding the possibility of a third album and the future of the band began when some band members exercised other musical projects.<ref name="UTON">{{cite video |title = Slipknot - Up To Our Necks |medium = DVD |work = Chrome Dreams |year = 2004 }}</ref> After the album was complete, the band expressed that these side projects "saved the band" and "helped [them] break out of the box [they] were in".<ref name="Kerrang04">{{cite news |last = Browne |first = Nichola |title = The Return of The Kings |work = [[Kerrang!]] |pages = 18–22 |date = 2004-04-17 |accessdate = 2008-06-14}}</ref> In 2003, Slipknot moved in to The Mansion to begin work on their third studio album.<ref name="2003studio-MH"/> The process of coming back together and working out their differences hindered the writing process.

Despite the initial problems, the writing process eventually became extremely productive. In a 2003 interview, Jordison explained that more than enough material was written for the album and added that "it's better to have stuff to pick from than to settle for shit," comparing to how Slipknot previously settled too soon with fewer songs on previous albums.<ref name="Kerrang03">{{cite news |last = Lukes |first = Daniel |title = You Cannot Kill The 'Knot |work = [[Kerrang!]] |pages = 22–23 |date = 2003-10-25 |accessdate = 2008-06-14}}</ref> To promote the album, the band toured on [[Ozzfest]]<ref>{{cite news |last = Moss |first = Corey |coauthors = D'Angelo, Joe |title = Judas Priest, Slayer, Slipknot To Join Ozzy On Ozzfest |publisher = [[VH1]] |date = 2004-02-20 |url = http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1485231/20040220/judas_priest.jhtml |accessdate = 2008-06-18}}</ref> and the [[Jägermeister Music Tour]],<ref name="blab">{{cite web|accessdate=2008-07-15|url=http://www.vh1.com/news/articles/1485648/20040309/slipknot.jhtml|title=Slipknot Ready To Unveil New Masks, Subliminal LP|publisher=VH1|date=2004-09-03|author=Wiederhorn, Jon}}</ref> and made an appearance at the [[Download Festival]].<ref name="Download2004Slipknot">{{cite web |title = Download 2004 - Slipknot |publisher = Clear Channel Communications |url = http://2004.downloadfestival.co.uk/dlf_live/artist/artistinfo.asp?tid=0&id=29 |accessdate = 2007-12-16}}</ref> The album's record label, [[Roadrunner Records]], posted an [[MP3]] of "Pulse of the Maggots" in its entirety (excluding the fadeout transition from "[[Vermilion (song)|Vermilion]]") on the now defunct SK Radio website for free download for only one day on [[March 30]], [[2004]].<ref>{{cite web|accessdate=2008-07-15|url=http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/music/artist/bio/0,,494219,00.html|title=Biography|publisher=Artistdirect}}</ref> ''Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)'' was finally released on [[May 25]], [[2004]],<ref>{{cite web|accessdate=2008-07-15|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1487071/20040517/coldplay.jhtml|title=For The Record: Quick News On Dave Chappelle, Chris Martin And Gwyneth Paltrow, Jessica Simpson, Lenny Kravitz & More |publisher=MTV|date=2004-05-17 }}</ref> and a special edition version of the album containing a [[bonus disc]] was released on [[April 12]], [[2005]].<ref>{{cite web|accessdate=2008-07-15|url=http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/17925853|title='Clown' Leaves Slipknot Tour To Be With Ailing Wife

==Musical and lyrical themes==
The musical style of Slipknot is often difficult to pinpoint because of the genres their music covers; however, ''Vol. 3'' is regarded as their most diverse album. Prior to the release of the album, band members promised a more experimental album, with drummer Jordison saying that "it's almost as if [[Slayer]] was tapping on [[Radiohead]]."<ref name="Kerrang03"/> For the first time in Slipknot's career, songs such as "Circle" and "Vermilion Pt. 2" were lead by [[acoustic guitar|acoustic]] rather than [[electric guitar]]. However, songs such as "Pulse of the Maggots" and "[[Before I Forget]]" use the band's usual "pounding metal" style.<ref name=Stylus/> Other tracks such as "Blister Exists", "Three Nil", and "Opium of the People" combine the two extremes of their recognizable metal edge with melody, with the most apparent shifts being in Taylor's vocal style.<ref name=Allmusic/> ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' added that the album "[bounced] between over-powering speed-metal and haunting acoustic rock".<ref name=EW/>
''Vol. 3'' was Slipknot's first album that did not warrant a [[Parental Advisory]] label because it lacked profanity. In a 2008 interview, guitarist [[Mick Thomson]] explained that vocalist Taylor made a point of avoiding the use of profanity in response to people claiming that he relied upon it.<ref name="Mick Interview">{{cite web |author = [[Mick Thomson|Thomson, Mick]] |title = NAMM 2008 Report |publisher = On Track Magazine |url= http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=29777240|accessdate=2008-07-14}}</ref> The lyrics of ''Vol. 3'' include strong use of metaphors and touches upon themes including anger, disaffection, and psychosis.<ref name=Allmusic/> Taylor's diversity in his vocal delivery was praised; Todd Burns of ''[[Stylus Magazine]]'' considered that tracks like "Vermilion Pt. 2" include "stately vocal harmonies". Taylor's performance on the closing track "Danger – Keep Away" was specifically praised, with ''Stylus Magazine'' calling it the most "depressing and emotional" track on the album. The magazine also concluded that "the riffs have lost none of their impact, but it seems like finally the group also wants you to appreciate their vocal and lyrical impact."<ref name=Stylus/>
