Italics for its name?
Maybe wikilink demo somewhere in the lead
"with new vocalist Corey Taylor in 1997" - cut the in 1997, it kills the flow of the sentence
Not many issues, that's all I could find... As with the other one, I agree that this can't really be GA. —Giggy 08:24, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Italics not required as this isn't the official name for the demo. It's a name that the community has agreed on for it, basically. The rest are done. Gary King (talk) 14:42, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that italics should not be used for its name, but should the "D" in "Slipknot Demo" be in lower case, I suggest changing the title to "Slipknot demo".
I don't think its comprehensive; try adding Release information; its publicity and response. Perhaps they decided to undertake a small tour?
- It wasn't "released" persay.... it was demo which was handed out to record labels and produces in hope of becoming signed.... which it did. REZTER ^TALK ø 14:24, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The lead needs also needs expanding; see Transfusion (EP) for a prime example.
If it has not charted, then include "The album received no chart success and no music videos were recorded for it." or similiar.
Include atleast a sentence or paragraph on the inspiration of the album and state "Slipknot demo is the third (or whatever it is) release by nu-metal band Slipknot."

Hope this helped, because I have never done a peer review before. Thanks. Hpfan9374 (talk) 14:16, 13 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

a thought shouldn't the name be something like "Slipknot ( Roadrunner Records Demo)"? Nergaal (talk) 03:13, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably too detailed; it would be necessary if Slipknot had another demo that was nameless, but that's not the case. Gary King (talk) 03:15, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
