Limited edition repress of the bands debut album of which only 666 were produced. This pressing features an original 20 page booklet. Heartbeat. 2005.
Mate. Kill. Feed. Repeat. Reviews:
Good to hear what they sounded like in the beginning! 
2008-08-20 - If you are a slipknot fan, you mush have this album. I think the quality of the work on this album is actually better than their vol 8 album, but I know I am in the minority. This has a broader range of sound, from club type music to the death metal grind. The vocalist are not corey taylor polished, but appropriate for the music. The sound does have a bit of the Iowa release death sound. This import copy is almost impossible to find anywhere other than online, so purchase from a seller that you have used before and trust, because a lot of folks are selling CD-R's. Read the listing carefully!!! I got a great copy here, and I hope you will to. Favorite songs Slipknot, Only One, Tattered and Torn. also note, there is a bonus hidden track on this at the end of the 8th song.
Finally, if it has not been said enough already, the releases for sale online anywhere for this album are going to be Unofficial Imports, and they are getting harder to find. The copy I have has the lyrics and about 20 pages of photos with it, on pale one music (copyrite 1995). The quality of it is outstanding for being a independent release, and the sound quality is what it should be. This is not a polished big studio album that newer fans are used to. The original pressing was only around 1000 copies (some say 666 copies), so the chances of finding one of those for sale is a needle in a haystack's chance. Unless you have the copy in your hand and can validate that it's an original, you should only pay what you are paying for it here on amazon!!
Great as it is... 
2008-07-10 - You know, I was ready to waste 40.00 on this album when I heard that most you get off amazon are cheap bootlegs since Slipknot never acually rereleased the album and original copies are worth around $600-$800... However I had my cousin download the songs from limewire and burned a disk, I rearranged and renamed the songs, and made a little album cover for it. Worked out fine...
On the topic of the music, It's simply GREAT. The only thing I don't like is the somewhat crappy singer. However, on some songs, Like "Only One" He's just as good as Corey. Joey's(Drums) still Awesome, I still don't know the point of Shawn"Clown"(Custom Percussion), And Paul's(Bass) best work is on tracks like "Do Nothing/Bitchslap" and "Confessions"
not great, not bad but still interesting 
2008-05-11 - this is a decent album. not sure whether or not Corey is singin on this. sounds like it sometimes, other times not. it is NOT slipknot as most people know them now, it is their original manifestation as a band. I recommend listening to it at least once.
pur-RAISE JESUS!
2008-04-22 - This is like gold to me. If you are lucky enough to see these up for sale, grab it immedately. This is Slipknots' true first album. Only a very small amount were made by the band and many others were pirated. The CD that I got though looked real, but I don't know if it was an original. The CD quality is good, no flaws in it. The music though is completely different thing. The Slipknot that people know today (the band that made the self-entitled, Iowa, and some other CD) is not the Slipknot playing on this CD. It has a very different style to it (That I love to death) and has many different people singing/playing instruments. If you are a true Slipknot fan you must buy this, this is a golden nugget to those who truely love metal. If you're lucky enough and you have the gonads to buy it, you will get the best CD ever.
the original is better 
2007-10-23 - If you know anything about slipknot you know that this ep is actually rereleased..the original mate.feed.kill.repeat album was released before corey taylor joined slipknot..it was vocaled by Anders Colsefini, whom corey replaced after the release of this album. The band replaced colsefini with taylor because they thought they needed a singer with more radio friendly voice..So i would recommend finding the original mate.feed.kill.repeat ep..if you want to hear the original slipknot...
Anders wrote this entire ep himself..All the songs and lyrics and even the title from Mate.Feed.Kill.Repeat are based off a pen-and-paper roleplaying game Werewolf: The Apocalypse..that the band used to play together..so go find the original
