On Jthe video premiered on MTV's FNMTV show, hosted by Pete Wentz. The shoot was delayed due to an unrelated head injury sustained by turntablist Sid Wilson before the shoot, who was subsequently hospitalized. The music video for "Psychosocial" was shot at Sound Farm studios in Jamaica, Iowa on June 30, 2008. The song was also nominated for ' Best Metal Performance' for the 51st Grammy Awards, but lost to Metallica's " My Apocalypse", and was nominated for the Kerrang! Award for Best Single. In 2020, Kerrang and Louder Sound ranked the song number nine and number four, respectively, on their lists of the greatest Slipknot songs. Rolling Stone praised the song, saying it "slows down the tempo to bludgeon with a steady, pounding groove instead of all-out thrash in a manner reminiscent of the band's more slow-burning but still malicious second album, Iowa." They explained, "That track is capped off with a time-signature shattering guitar/drum breakdown that will leave the best air-instrumentalists stumped". "I had to ask Corey what 'Psychosocial' meant. I looked at the sheet I'd been working on and at the bottom was the chorus for 'Psychosocial' already… This song was meant to be." – Corey Taylor "I was writing lyrics when Paul and Joey played this to me. I guess you know you've done something good if everyone rips you off." – Joey Jordison A lot of bands, who I won't name, have ripped this song off.
It was similar to ' Duality', in that I had mixed feelings about whether it was a good song… Then we got together and started working on it as a team and it just came together. It's really fun and it's different… Most of the stuff that we have is different." – Shawn Crahan, The Pulse of Radio
"That song has got a lot of, I would say, social anxiety.
