Slipknot is the self-titled debut studio album of Slipknot, released on June 29, 1999 by Roadrunner Records.The album brought the band massive popularity from the outset, peaking at #51 on the Billboard 200 chart and eventually being certified double platinum in the United States. It spawned two singles, "Wait and Bleed" and "Spit It Out", which still rank among the band's most popular songs to this day.The album is also well-known for the legal trouble it got the band into due to the tracks "Frail Limb Nursery" and "Purity", which (respectively) heavily sampled and referenced a story from the website Crime Scene. The website presents fictional stories as real crime cases; there were originally no disclaimers designating the stories as fiction, leading many including lead vocalist Corey Taylor to believe that they were true. The ensuing allegations of copyright infringement resulted in the most common reissue and all official vinyl releases replacing both tracks with "Me Inside". "Purity" was eventually restored on the 10th anniversary CD version and digital releases of the album in its original location (with “Me Inside� included as a bonus track instead), whereas "Frail Limb Nursery" is only found on the original CD release.

Longest Song Goes Last: Ignoring the hidden tracks, "Scissors" is the final song with a runtime of 8 minutes and 23 seconds. Including the silence, "Mudslide" and "Eeyore", the track containing "Scissors" lasts for 19 minutes and 18 seconds.

Sampling: This is the Slipknot album with the largest amount of known samples. Some individual examples include: Carlito's line "Here comes the pain!" from Carlito's Way, featured in "(sic)". The outro to Slayer's "South of Heaven", which was edited and sampled as the intro of "Only One".
