Come What(ever)May



Come What(ever)May, Stone Sour's 2nd album is awesome in every essence of the word. A brilliant record of 12 tracks, with every single track beautifully crafted blend of immense energy and raw emotions.

Come What(ever)May, is very varied through out with hard fast and in your face tracks like 30/30-150 and Reborn, to amazingly slow and sensitive tracks like Through glass and Zzyzx Rd. Its amazing the motions this album goes through, there isn't a lot of bands out there that manages to bring such versatility.

Front man Corey Taylor deserves to be credited for excellent mind blowing vocals. Corey sets the mood from slow soft melodic to full out raged screams and hardly breaks a sweat in between. It's however sad to know that original Stone Sour's drummer Joel Ekman left the band on this 2nd albumn due to the fact his son suffered from brain cancer, which later succumbed to it and passed away.

Corey Taylor more widely known for his eccentric, wild image as Hardcore nu metal band Slipknot's front man proves beyond a shadow of a doubt he can not only scream like a mad freak but can sing so well it baffles me why he never did during his time in slipknot. He also show's with stone sour that he's not a raving lunatic thats obsessed with violence and destruction like many come to believe, songs like Through Glass, Sillyworld and Zzyzx Rd shows Corey is just human and writes songs about love, life and pain as well.

Tracks to download are, Through glass and Reborn. 2 songs that shows how Corey and Stone Sour is able to bring so much variety in their sound from melodic acoustic sounds to heavy high tempo almost mercurial sounds, there's a track for every mood in here, if you're sad, mad , happy , depressed you'd still find something for the moment either to Corey's explosive screams or just his slow soothing singing . If u find a liking to this 2 tracks then go get the album, the rest of the tracks won't let you down.
