1. 개요

파일:SlipknotMasks2.jpg
2집 컨셉샷

슬립낫의 2집 정규 앨범. 멤버들의 출신지던 아이오와주에서 앨범명을 따왔다.

2. 상세

1999년 데뷔 앨범인 Slipknot의 성공에 차기 앨범에 대한 사람들의 기대가 커져만 갔고, 밴드에 대한 압박 또한 커졌다. 이 시기에 멤버들 서로의 관계는 악화되었고, 멤버들은 이 당시가 가장 어두운 시기였다고도 언급했다.

디제잉과 샘플링 사운드가 조화를 이루던 뉴 메탈에 충실하던 사운드의 전작과는 달리 이 앨범은 래핑과 디제잉 등의 비중을 크게 낮추고 그로울링[1] 더불어 묵직하게 드롭 튜닝 한 기타 리프, 빠르고 격렬한 드러밍 등 소위 헤비한 사운드에 치중한 모습을 보인다. 때문에 항간에서 역대 슬립낫 디스코그래피 중 가장 헤비하다고 말하는 앨범이기도 하다. 데스 메탈과 그루브 메탈 향취가 강하다는 평을 받는 등 보다 메탈 본위적 접근법이 이 작품의 묘미.

한결같이 헤비한 분위기로 일관하기에 호불호가 갈리는 작품이기도 하지만, 평단에선 나름 푸짐한 점수를 그럭저럭 받는 뉴메탈의 고전 걸작선으로 인정하는 분위기다. 롤링 스톤이나 NME 등 평단에선 8/10점 가량의 점수와 함께 뉴 메탈씬 전문 잡지 등지에서도 꾸준히 명반선으로 등재되고 있다.

부클릿이 기름종이 형식인데, 쫙 펼치면 9명 멤버의 모습을 포스터처럼 감상할 수 있다.

3. 제작 배경

드러머 조이 조디슨과 베이시스트 폴 그레이는 데뷔 이후의 광범위한 투어 이후 2000년 10월부터 새로운 음악 작업을 시작했고, 앨범 대부분의 수록곡들을 작곡했다. 이 기간 동안 다른 멤버들은 휴식을 취하고 있었다. 그러다 2001년 1월 17일, 캘리포니아주 로스앤젤레스의 사운드 시티 스튜디오와 사운드 이미지 스튜디오에서 1집 작업을 함께 했던 프로듀서 로스 로빈슨과 함께 새로운 곡들을 녹음하기 시작했다.

하지만 녹음 기간은 밴드 내에서 가장 어두운 시기였는데, 작곡 과정에서의 과로 문제, 코리 테일러의 알코올 중독, 다른 멤버들의 마약 중독, 매니지먼트 문제 등을 포함한 다양한 외적 요소들이 밴드 내 관계에 영향을 미쳤기 때문이다.

이러한 어두운 분위기 속에서 2001년 3월 16일에 모든 녹음이 완료되어 2001년 8월 28일부터 정규 2집이 발매되기 시작했다.

4. 트랙 리스트

서술되어 있는 칸은 본인들이 인터뷰 등에서 직접 언급한 부분이며, 이외의 곡들은 전부 슬립낫 멤버들이 작곡하였다.

앨범의 인트로 트랙으로, 제목인 515는 슬립낫 결성지인 아이오와주의 지역번호이다.

비명을 지르는 음성은 시드 윌슨이 담당했는데, 앨범 작업 중 시드는 할아버지가 위독하다는 소식을 듣고 병문안을 가던 중이었다. 그러나 할아버지는 시드가 도착하기 전에 세상을 떠났고, 할아버지의 임종을 지키지 못한 시드는 스튜디오로 돌아와 극도의 감정적 고통 속에서 반복적으로 "죽음(Death)"이라는 단어를 외쳤다고 한다. 그 녹음본을 바탕으로 곡이 제작되었다고 한다.

Here we go again, motherfucker
Yeah

Come on down and see the idiot right here
Too fucked to beg and not afraid to care
What's the matter with calamity anyway?
Right? Get the fuck outta my face
Understand I can't feel anything
It isn't like I wanna sift through the decay
I feel like a wound like I got a fucking gun against my head
You live when I'm dead

One more time, motherfucker

Everybody hates me now, so fuck it
Blood's on my face and my hands
And I don't know why I'm not afraid to cry
But that's none of your business
Whose life is it? Get it? See it? Feel it? Eat it?
Spin it around so I can spit in its face
I wanna leave without a trace
'Cause I don't wanna die in this place

People equal shit
People equal shit
People equal shit

People equal shit, 'cause I'm not afraid of you
People equal shit, I'm everything you'll never be

Come on!

It never stops, you can't be everything to everyone
Contagion, I'm sitting at the side of Satan
What do you want from me?
They never told me the failure I was meant to be, ya
Overdo it, don't tell me you blew it
Stop your bitching and fight your way through it
I'm not like you, I just fuck up
Come on, motherfucker, everybody has to die

초기 슬립낫 특유의 파괴적인 니힐리즘이 잘 드러나는 곡중 하나로, 1집의 '(Sic)', 4집의 'Psychosocial'과 더불어 슬립낫의 대표곡으로 여겨진다.

인트로의 3단 그로울링은 라이브에서 코리 테일러 - 크리스 펜[2] - 숀 크레이언 순으로 이어진다.

4.3. Disasterpiece

Hold on to something!

Yeah, I wanna slit your throat and fuck the wound
Wanna push my face in and feel the swoon
Wanna dig inside, find a little bit of me
'Cause the line gets crossed when you don't come clean
My wormwood meets your pesticide
You'll never get out 'cause you were never alive
I am infinite, I am the infant finite
Come a little closer, and I'll show you why

No one is safe
Noises, noises, people make noises
People make noises when they're sick
Nothing to do except hold on to nothing
No one is safe
Noises, noises, people make noises
People make noises when they're sick
Nothing to do except hold on to nothing

Oh, how does it feel to be locked inside another dream
That never had a chance of being realized?
What the fuck are you looking at?
I'll tell you what you're looking at
Everyone you ever fucking laughed at
Oh, look in my eyes for the answers typical
I can feel it underneath like a miracle
Everybody in the world needs more than
Lies and consequences to power them
Once again, it's me and no one else
I can't remember if there was a someone else
It's not mine, it's not fair, it's outta my hands
And it's shaking, you'll never take me

No one is safe
Noises, noises, people make noises
People make noises when they're sick
Nothing to do except hold on to nothing
No one is safe
Noises, noises, people make noises
People make noises when they're sick
Nothing to do except hold on to nothing

Nothing
Nothing
Oh, come on

(Hate) Hate ain't enough to describe me
(Scream) Somewhere between screaming and crying
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
(Why) When do I get to know why?
(Bitter) Bitter as the stink of when I try
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
No

Pull your hands away, I'm gone, goodbye, it's so depressing
Withering away, take a look inside, my soul is missing
All I have is dead, so I'll take you with me
I feel like I'm erased, so kill me just in case
I feel like I'm erased, so kill me just in case
So kill me just in case

(Covet) Everything around me's mine
(Stay) Can't see through the sties in my eyes
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
(Down) Scratching and clawing all the way
(Stay) You won't let me fucking stay
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
(Live) Is there another way to live?
(Die) 'Cause it's the only way to die
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be, come on
No, no, no
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be

I'm in conniptions for the final act you came here for
The one derivative you manage is the one I abhor
I need a minute to elaborate for everyone the everyday
Bullshit things that you have done
Your impossible ego fuck
Is like a megalomaniacal tab on my tongue
You fucking touch me, I will rip you apart
I'll reach in and take a bite out of that shit you call a heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't mind being ogled, ridiculed, made to feel minuscule
If you consider the source, it's kinda pitiful
The only thing you really know about me is
That's all you'll ever know

I know why you blame me
I know why you blame yourself
I know why you plague me
I know why you plague yourself

I'm turning it around like a knife on the shelf
I wanna understand why, but I'm hurting myself
I haven't seen a lotta reasons to stop it, I can't just drop it
I'm just a bastard, but at least I admit it, at least I admit it

I know why you blame me
I know why you blame yourself
I know why you plague me
I know why you plague yourself

Yeah

Kill you, fuck you, I will never be you, you
Kill you, fuck you, I will never be you, you
I can't fucking take it anymore
A snap of the synapse, and now it's fucking war

앨범에서 두 번째로 싱글 컷된 곡으로, 2002년 영화 레지던트 이블의 사운드트랙으로도 사용되었다.

시드 윌슨이 먼저 제작한 비트 위에 기타 리프와 코러스를 얹어 곡이 작곡되었다고 한다.

뮤직 비디오는 레지던트 이블 영화 클립과 2002년 2월 16일 런던 아레나에서 열린 공연 영상을 편집하여 제작되었다.

I haven't slept since I woke up
And found my whole life was a lie, motherfucker
This is the end of everything

Shallow skin, I can paint with pain
I mark the trails on my arms with your disdain
Every day it's the same, I love, you hate
But I guess I don't care anymore
Fix my problems with the blade
While my eyes turn from blue to gray
God, the worst thing happened to me today
But I guess I don't care anymore, aah!

코리 테일러가 17살 쯤 마지막으로 했던 자살 시도와 자살 시도 이후 인생이 무엇인지 깨달은 첫 날에 대해 영감을 받아 곡을 작사했다고 한다. 자살 시도의 이유는 실연이였으며, 팔에 31번의 자해를 하고 약 한병을 먹고 쓰러져 있던 코리를 친구가 발견하여 병원으로 데려갔다고 한다.

It will remain there
Until I wish to retrieve it

Yes, I will stay here for a while, for I need the break
A break from the pressures of life
And everything that lays in the palm of life's hands

데뷔 전 데모 앨범인 Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat.의 〈Gently〉를 리메이크한 곡이다.

숀 크레이언이 고등학교 시절 썼던 시로 작사를 했는데, 코리 테일러는 숀이 쓴 가사를 그대로 부르고 싶어했기 때문에 작사를 새로 하지 않고 데모곡 가사 그대로 불렀다고 한다.

As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
I come toward you
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

Take this away
Take this away
I can feel it on my mouth
I can taste you on my fingers
I can hear you like the holy ghost
And kill you if you get too close

I ignore you
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
I come toward you
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away
I ignore you
As I close my eyes, I feel it all slipping away
I come toward you
We all got left behind, we let it all slip away

We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away
We let it all slip away

1997년경 녹음했던 미발매곡인 〈Lust Disease〉를 리메이크한 곡으로, 헤비한 수록곡들 사이에서 그나마 멜로디컬하며 대중적인 곡이기도 하다.[3] 2001년 10월 29일에 첫 번째 싱글로도 발매되었다.

코리 테일러는 고향인 아이오와주 디모인의 다리 밑에서 노숙 생활을 하던 시절에 영감을 받아 작사했다고 한다.

뮤직 비디오는 로스앤젤레스에서 촬영되었으며, 정육점에서 일하는 어린 소년과 숲에서 연주를 하고 있는 멤버들이 등장한다. 감독판도 있는데, 원본에선 소년이 지하실로 들어가는 장면에서 끝나지만 감독판에선 소년이 지하실로 들어간 후 얼굴에 피를 묻히는 장면 등이 추가되었다.

Destroy

Too tragic to stay with you
Too static to try for you
These scars, they swallow hard
The part of the past that's hollow and dark
Too horrid to kill for you
Too sordid to die with you
Unstable as always, come down
Everything else is just dust and sound

Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
See the shape, broken and thrown away

I'd give it all away
Come take it all away
You can't resent the fear
Somebody, tell me how I got here
I'd give it all to you
Come take it, it's all for you
The noise is so damn loud, but
Everything else is just dust and sound

Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
See the shape, broken and thrown away

I don't wanna do this anymore
Everything's shit, everything's been taken, forsaken
Gotta start it over 'cause I'm hearing it backwards
Don't make sense, don't feel better
Who's better? It's not that simple
You gotta figure it out before you make things difficult
It's not a word, it's a problem, the problem was easy
Draw your conclusions, solutions?
Everybody else wanna run?
Contorting, distorting, I am undone
One less propaganda nightmare fixture
Are you getting the picture?

Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
See the shape, broken and thrown away
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
Separate, I've lost my only way
See the shape, broken and thrown away

I'm broken and thrown away
Yeah

I Am Hated

{{{#!wiki style="margin: -6px -1px -11px"
The whole world is my enemy, and I'm a walking target
Two times the Devil with all the significance
Dragged and raped for the love of a mob
I can't stay because I can't be stopped
Eat motherfuckers alive who cross us
I know you're all tired of the same ol' bosses
Let me tell you how it's gonna be
I'm gonna kill anyone who steps up in front of me
Welcome to the same ol' fucking scam
Same ol' shit in a dead fad
Everybody wants to be so hard
Are you real or a second-rate sports card?
They all lost their dad or their wife just died
They never got to go outside, shut up
Nobody gives a fuck
It doesn't change the fact that you suck

We are the anti-cancer
We are the only answer
Stripped down, we want you dead
But what's inside of me you'll never know
We are bipolar gods
We are, you know what we are
My life was always shit
And I don't think I need this anymore

Now I'm not pretty, and I'm not cool
But I'm fat, and I'm ugly and proud, so fuck you[4]
Standing out is the new pretension
Streamline the sickness, half-assed aggression
You gotta see it to believe it, we all got conned
All the mediocre sacred cows we spawned
Put your trust in the mission
We will not repent, this is our religion

We are the anti-cancer
We are the only answer
Stripped down, we want you dead
But what's inside of me you'll never know
We are bipolar gods
We are, you know what we are
My life was always shit
And I don't think I need this anymore

I am hated
You are hated
We are hated
I am hated

Everything sucks, and I can prove it
Everybody dies, shuffle on, remove it
Individuals, indispensable
I'm the paradox deity vessel
The other side holds no secret
But this side is done, I don't need it
Before you go, you should know you're breaking down
You'll be rotten by the time you're underground
Fuck you

We are the anti-cancer
We are the only answer
Stripped down, we want you dead
But what's inside of me you'll never know
We are bipolar gods
We are, you know what we are
My life was always shit
And I don't think I need this anymore

We are the source of conscience
We are distorted sentients
There's only one thing left
And I can't leave until it's sated
We are the absolute
We are controlling you
They're closing in, I can't escape
I am hated

Zero and zero is nothing but zero
Cancer and people conspire together
Running and running and going forever
Collected and sampled, starving for zero

Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built-in migraine
Come see my cage, built-in migraine

Minus the inside and minus the circle
Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel
Wherein and herein, between us and near us
Zero and zero is nothing but zero

Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built-in migraine
Come see my cage, built-in migraine

Yeah

I'm ethereal
My children are legion, serial
They stick to my skin like beloved cysts
I tear away with my nails and teeth and fists
Touch the hands of inverted saints
Follow my heart through the threaded pain
Callow man is a sentinel screaming
I see the future, the future is bleeding

Sores
Every goddamn minute I can feel 'em now
Like a virus, you will never kill me now
Going underground, coming on like hepatitis
We're out, and you can't reshape us
Another bug in the construct
Tearing up the main bus B
Zeros and ones are everything, execute me

Everywhere you look, it's like they know
Their fingerprints are hidden by control
This is where the line is drawn, see
You can't take my soul away from me

What do you need to see? You feel the impact?
Gotta retract; everybody, get back
What is this? It's like a big conspiracy
Fields of dejected morbid progeny
They always say that it's always our fault
But everything we say is taken with a grain of salt
Man, it's always the same if we talk or complain
We only wanna upset the balance
How's it feel to be the new abortion?
The only generation to suffer extortion

Everywhere you look, it's like they know
Their fingerprints are hidden by control
This is where the line is drawn, see

You can't take my soul away from me
You can't take my soul away from me
You can't take my soul away from me
You can't take my soul away from me
You can't take my soul away from me
You can't take my soul away from me

Everywhere you look, it's like they know
Their fingerprints are hidden by control
This is where the line is drawn, see
You can't take my soul away from me
Everywhere you look, it's like they know
Their fingerprints are hidden by control
This is where the line is drawn, see
You can't take my soul away from me

You can't take my soul away from me
Fuck you

Gone, I couldn't murder your promise
Right before my eyes
The revolutions of my psychosis
Kept me outta the way
Once inside all I hold is ash
Fail, suppressing every feeling
I'm in so much pain
I have every fucking right to hate you
I can't take it
The hardest part was knowing that I could never be you
Now all I do is sit around and wish I could forget you

My demise
I took a life worth living and made it worth a mockery
I deny, I fold, but they keep on coming
Stop!
I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
Stop!
I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
Stop!
I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
Stop!
I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me

Who are you to me? Who am I to you?
Is this a lesson in nepotistic negligence?
By default, you are my only link to the outside
Psychosomatic suicide
Where were you when I was down?
Can you show me a way
To face every day with this face?
Goodbye

My demise, I took a life worth living and made it worth a mockery
I deny, I fold, but they keep on coming
Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me

Oh, when I blur my eyes, they make the whole world breathe
I see you fucking me
And I am absolutely controlling every urge to mutilate
The one and only answer so much for memories
I wanna dress in your insecurities
And be the perfect you, I'm through
I'm out-stretched out for all to loathe
Here we go, the ultimate irony
Yeah, yeah, yeah

My demise, I took a life worth living and made it worth a mockery
I deny, I fold, but they keep on coming
Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me
Stop, I'm always ready to die, but you're killing me

Stop, killing me
Stop, killing me
Stop, killing, stop, me

Relax, it's over
You belong to me
I fill your mouth with dirt
Relax, it's over
You can never leave
I take your second digit with me
Love

You are my first
I can barely breathe
I find you fascinating
You are my favorite
I lay you down to sleep
It's all that I can do to stop

So blue, so broken
Paper doll decays
I haven't left you yet
So cold, subversive
Your eyes are full of bleach
Tomorrow, I will go away again

슬립낫의 곡 중 가장 긴 곡으로[5], 라이브 연주 시엔 7분 정도로 단축된다.[6]

녹음 작업 당시 코리 테일러는 나체로 있었는데, 만취한 코리 테일러가 녹음 도중 샘플링으로 깔린 비명이 들리지 않자 자신의 팔을 깨진 유리로 그으며 괴성을 지른 일화가 있다.

[1] 향간에선 코리 테일러의 최전성기 목상태를 감상할 수 있는 마지막 작품이라 평하기도. [2] 탈퇴 후 마이클 파프가 담당. [3] 녹음 초기엔 더욱 멜로디컬했지만 프로듀서 로스 로빈슨이 그로울링을 더 추가하라고 지시했다고 한다. [4] 림프 비즈킷의 보컬 프레드 더스트가 슬립낫 팬들을 뚱뚱하고 못생겼다고 비하했는데, 이에 코리 테일러가 욕설로 응수한 적이 있다. # 이 일화를 다시 가사로 사용했다. [5] 히든 트랙이 들어가 있어 약 19분 이상인 1집의 〈Scissors〉는 제외. [6] 2016년 라이브에선 풀 버전으로 연주했다. [7] Disasterpieces 실황 라이브
