Biography

When we last saw Stone Sour, the triple-Grammy nominated group was playing sold-out shows around the planet in support of 2006’s critically acclaimed Come What(ever) May, a sonic blockbuster that entered Billboard’s Top 200 Album Chart at No. 4 and went on to sell more than a half-million copies on the strength of three radio hits, including the No. 1 smash single, "Through Glass.” Billboard… Read more in Amazon's Stone Sour Store

Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The first thing that you should know is that Stonesour is not a Slipknot side-project. Sure, Corey Taylor and James Root are, respectively, the dreadlocked vocalist and the jester-masked guitarist of the Iowa-born metal marauders. But the pair’s involvement in Stonesour predates their time in Slipknot, even though this eponymous record is the band’s debut.

Immediately, it’s clear that this is a radically different beast to Slipknot: boasting a grungy, punk-metal edge that points towards a love for Alice In Chains and Metallica, Stonesour turns down the militaristic assault in favour of an intimate, earnest and comparatively conventional heavy rock collection. The beefy opener, "Get Inside" is a meaty rock-out for the dedicated ‘Knothead. But further in, there’s some real surprises: "Cold Reader" and "Monolith" match their intense riffs with a bare lyrical edge far more revealing that any Slipknot song. All the same, neither can prepare you for "Bother"--a confessional, acoustic song that faintly calls to late-period Metallica, Corey singing "Wish I was too dead to care / If indeed I care at all" over keening violins and a mellow guitar line that, impossibly, recalls Eric Clapton. Easy listening? Yeah, but all but the most narrow-minded Slipknot fans should lap it up. And for fans of Corey, well, this might just be the album they’ve been waiting for. --Louis Pattison

rock... with meaning 14 Mar 2003
By Cat T
Format:Audio CD
This album is really superb. Showing the natural talent and versatility of Corey Taylor's voice, as well as genius songwriting and heartfelt lyrics. This will be a real winner with a lot of Slipknot fans, (the ones who are accepting to Taylor developing a more mellow style with this band), but also with a lot of Slipknot critics. Taylor can no longer be accused of having little talent, demonstrating a seemingly unnecessarily overload of growling, or writing lyrics which are 98% offensive. No, this stuff is quite different.

The obvious standout track is 'Bother' - so totally different to any of Slipknot's music that it's hard to believe it's the same guy singing. A really beautiful, melodic rock ballad with orchestration and gentle harmonies that almost make you want to cry.
Other good tracks are Monolith (personal favourite), Take A Number and Blue Study. The songs vary from downbeat and melancholy, to brutal and angry. Get Inside is a great opener for it's sheer energy, and tracks such as Inhale (possibly next single) show a more emotional and personal side to Taylor's songwriting, although not in the same vein as his Slipknot lyrics of negative childhood experiences which, understandably, can be a bit depressing at times.
This album takes a couple listens to get into but it really is sooo f**king good and definitely worth buying, also a band worth seeing live as they are incredible and have a wonderful clientele of fans. So yeah...god...BUY THIS ALBUM! It doesn't matter if you love or hate Slipknot, this is universally appealling and a real gem....

Simply Brilliant!!! 1 Mar 2004
By Padraig
Format:Audio CD
I was pleasently surprised when I heard this album. At first I was worried that it would just be another slipnot album since I'm not their biggest fan. I was also worried that Bother and Inhale were just one off songs and the rest of the album was going to be full of shouting and screaming. But after listening to it again and again I just can't get over the differences between the two bands. Corey's voice is infectious and fantastic. The mix of melodic singing and heavy guitar riffs works amazingly. The worst thing about listening to the album is that its impossible to sing along the way Corey sings. One word INCREDIBLE!

The answer is yes they can. This album is every bit as good if not better than all the Slipknot albums we have had to date. In Stone Sour Corey and Jim have the opportunity to do things that just wouldn't cut it in Slipknot.

Opening track 'Get Inside' tears you apart right from the word go with its monsterous riffs and roaring vocals. A sign of things to come? Almost not quite.

Songs such as 'Inhale' and 'Orchids' take a different, more mellow at times, stance to 'Get Inside' and who can forget the amazing song 'Bother' where Corey shows a completely different side.

Stone Sour has given Corey and Jim a new voice and room to express themselves in different ways to screaming lyrics and violent guitars. But lets not forget about the other members who complete the band so perfectly. Joel Ekmans subtle drum beats blend in beautifully with the bass of Shawn Eckonomaki completed perfectly by Josh Rand who is every bit as capable of a great solo as Jim (each guitarist plays 2 solos each on the record)

Spoken word piece Omega tops of the album brilliantly. While listening to it the first time you may think 'what the hell is this guys talking about' but once he is done the realisation dawns on you that what Corey has said is very true!!

A guest appearance for Sid Wilson (0) from Slipknot adds a special touch on the tracks 'Orchids', 'Cold Reader' and 'Monolith' All in all a thoughtful record beautifully performed, quite possibly my favourite album in the world!
