I gave Disasterpieces nine out of ten. Yet I think it deserved ten.
The boring part: this is has a superb live show in London, and a collection of all (in 2002) their music videos. If you want the greatest live show on earth (Slipknot, obviously), you've got it here. If you want all their music videos (including the two Wait and Bleed videos and the director's cut of Left Behind) in one place, look no further.
Now comes the interesting stuff (to me, at least). To anyone else, 2002 was just 5 years ago, but to Slipknot it's a lifetime ago. In an interview in 2004, Corey Taylor (singer) said that he couldn't watch Disasterpieces because he feared he would have a panic attack. Such is the intenseness of the Disasterpieces. You see, in the "Iowa period" things weren't going in the right direction. The backstage crew (most of which doesn't work for the band anymore) were working against Slipknot, not for them. Slipknot was, quite literally, on the highway to hell. By 2003, the members hated each other, and the world started chanting "the end of Slipknot" as if it were fact. And for the nine masked madmen, it did feel like it was over. True fact: when Corey decided to make "the call" (the "I'm quitting the band" call), the other line was busy. This is, to a certain degree, the reason why Slipknot is still around. All one has to do is watch Disasterpieces from beginning to end, and consider the aforementioned events, and they'll have a front-row seat view of the decline of music's most intense band. This is an utter must for any Slipknot fan, especially those who've already seen their latest DVD, because it chronicles the final part of the end of Slipknot, and is an important part of the band's history.
In 2002, Disasterpieces sowed the seeds of Slipknot's destruction. In 2007, it sows the seeds of the destruction of a monster called Iowa, and the rise of god called Slipknot.
