I think Slipknot created the genre of New Wave Heavy Metal, a genre whose popularity soared with them and with bands like Killswitch Engage, Dragonforce etc, which also made older metal from the 80s and early 90s popular again with teenagers (in the UK anyway). I've only got V3: The Subliminal Verses, not being a huge fan of the genre, as it's arguably their lightest album. I agree that Corey Taylor's voice really suits the band, and the guitar and drum work is amazing as well.
