Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) is the third album by the Iowa-based Slipknot.

Vol. 3 retained much of the sound and subject matter that made the band famous, but is considerably more melodic and pensive than their earlier work. Notably, this is the only Slipknot album to not warrant a Parental Advisory label.

The band has said that Radiohead and Slayer were the main influences on the album^{[citation needed]} The album features many guitar solos, which were missing from earlier releases due to the influence of producer Ross Robinson.

A special edition of the album, featuring a bonus disc with additional tracks, was released in 2005.

The album was recorded at producer Rick Rubin's allegedly haunted mansion

The song "Before I Forget" evolved from an old song from Slipknot's 1997 Demo tape titled "Carve".
