Masked heavy metal band Slipknot have scored their first US number one album - but only after a recount put them ahead of rapper The Game's long-player (BBC NEWS) Well, then, I do not feel so bad for not running out right away and snagging the new album. I am still going to pick it up next week, but there is a glorious thing to see the masked mad men of Slipknot at the top of the charts.
