Metal Reviews

Actually not a bad song or video surprisingly.

I reviewed this album for Monday's update. Great song, seriously. I didn't like it at first for some reason, though, but now I love it.

Solid song. More in the hard rock vein than nu metal...isn't the singer the singer from Slipknot?

If so, he gives a better performance here than on any Slipknot song I've heard...

Nah, Stone Sour are much more modern rock/metal than nu-metal. And yes, Corey Taylor is the singer of Slipknot. He's definitely a great singer regardless of what people say. He shows none of that in Slipknot.

I thought that was a cool idea in the video, the paper-cut-out thing, and a cool effect to see.

So, is the whole album more mellow like this? Cos i think stone sour without the slipknot-ish songs that were on the first album would be pretty cool.

I can't stand Stone Sour to be honest.

Wasn't too bad. Can't say it made me want to listen to it again though,

The album has it's heavy moments, but it's still fairly melodic. There is another acoustic-like song called "Sillyworld," which is a good song but the song name is retarded and there's a chorus line that is pretty dumb, too, and just kind of annoys me. Hehehe. The most mellow, however, is "Zzyxx Rd.," which is pretty much all piano with a bit of acoustics and orchestration, it's a damn good song, too.

I really like the album. Some songs don't completely do it for me, but for a simple modern rock/metal album it's damn good.

Sounds better than the first one. I may get it if i have some money to burn one day.

I won't say it's better than the first, maybe a bit better, I don't know. The first album has a bunch of early Stone Sour songs that were re-recorded, the new album has just two so it's got more current songs.
