Free Music Notes for Stone Sour
Free Music Review: Hmm.... my review of Stone Sour's album
Hit: 5 Stars
During my first three years of high school, I was a big Slipknot fan. I thought they were the greatest thing ever. Then during the summer of '02, I found that Slipknot were going on hiatus. I kinda panicked, but then read that Joey, Corey, and Jim were going on side projects. That kinda intrigued me, so I waited for what their bands would offer. Joey's "Murderdolls" was something that kinda reminded me of NIN, Ministry, Dope, and Marilyn Manson. I liked them, but not a whole lot. But I wouldn't hear Stone Sour for a while, but there was a lot of positive reactions toward them.
During my Senior year (the 2002-2003 years), a friend of mine introduced me to Stone Sour. I listened to the first track "Get Inside" and just thought that they were just another Slipknot. But as each track rolled by, my thoughts on this album changed. This is NOT Slipknot. Sure, Corey still screams, but not all the time. This time, he actually sings. Slipknot's "Iowa" briefly showed that, now Stone Sour can fully display it to the max.
To most people, Stone Sour's album may just be another nu-metal album from a nu-metal band, but I consider this way better than most of the garbage out there. It's a lot more melodic and creative. Let me go through my thoughts with each song:
1. "Get Inside" (10/10) - A hard rocking track with a brief guitar solo. Excellent track that begins this album.
2. "Orchids" (10/10) - The first track that displays Corey actually singing. Brilliant track.
3. "Cold Reader" (10/10) - One of my favorite tracks on this album. A brilliant combination of Corey's singing and roaring vocals.
4. "Blotter" (8/10) - A weird introduction that has an unusual message left on an answering machine by some guy yelling nonsense. But the song is nonetheless very good as well.
5. "Choose" (9/10) - Excellent lyrics and brings back a lot of good memories of high school for some reason...
6. "Monolith" (8/10) - A very good mellow track, but not as impressive as some of the upcoming tracks.
7. "Inhale" (10/10) - An incredible song. The chorus is just amazing. I still get amazed by Corey's singing. Very inspirational lyrics as well.
8. "Bother" (10/10) - This is something I never expected to hear from a heavy metal band, especially from a band that featured two members of Slipknot. All I can say is that this song is completely amazing. Very touching and creative lyrics. Is it a love song? I still can't be sure, but I do know is that this song brought me to girl I love. A brilliant ballad.
9. "Blue Study" (9/10) - This song seems to be a continuation of "Bother," just heavier. Includes a guitar solo that rivals what Alice in Chains have done.
10. "Take A Number" (10/10) - Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, BRILLIANT. I LOVE this song. Probably my favorite out of the whole album (but it constantly changes from time to time). The music of Alice in Chains is resurrected once again. And Corey's singing here is by far his best next to "Bother."
11. "Idle Hands" (8/10) - More twisted lyrics than most of the tracks here.
12. "Tumult" (9/10) - A more fast-paced and heavier track. I loved how the piano ends the track.
13. "Omega" (no rating) - Is it me, or does it seem like Corey is trying to sound like Jim Morrison? I'm not rating this track because I consider it to be more of a filler. But for some reason, it's funny, and also creative at the same time.
Over time, my music tastes have changed. Slipknot were no longer my favorite band, nor are Stone Sour. But Stone Sour were more creative than anything I've been hearing during my Senior year. And I loved this album, which is why I'm giving it 5 stars. During this time of music being overrun by crappy pop artists and terrible pop-punk bands, Stone Sour showed that there's still good music out there. And I enjoyed this just a tad more than Slipknot.
