As a fan of Taylor's work in metal it's really exciting to get a solo record, even more so when the two songs released so far tease him exploring different genres - not just Stone Sour-lite. I love the rap-rock vibe of CMFT Must Be Stopped although I think the chorus is a bit on the weaker side - hopefully the rest of this album delivers.

 

I am down with this. Dude can sing his ass off.

 

love Corey so much

 

damn that first song is awful

 

What's my name?
C-motherfucking-T!

Fuck off

 

Lmao that song is not a good look

 

it's basically a WWE intro song

I can appreciate Corey doing something dumb and goofy since being in Slipknot is so intense and grueling - it's probably good for his mental health to do some dumb stuff like this

doesn't mean it's good but I get why he's doing it - he's a dorky dad.

 

It's the best Fozzy song since Judas

 

Really you could listen to CMFT or you could just listen to Break Stuff, a genuine banger.

 

bro what

 

being in slipknot seems like a very intense experience and time hence why they don't release albums as frequently - I'm sure the entire last cycle was very intense - he's blowing off some steam with some dorky ass dad rock

 

yeah i'm with drew. it's a bad song. who gives a shit. he looks like he's having fun and it's way less serious/grueling than slipknot. let the dweeby iowa boy live.

 

I'd add this direction was telegraphed by Stone Sour's latest album which was definitely trying to do a more humorous, light-hearted approach in contrast to both recent Slipknot material and their own double album which was a concept album based on a story written by Corey. (Hydrograd tried a little too hard with the humour IMO but I know it was popular)

That might make it worse depending on your point of view, of course

 

bro what

 

Black Eyes Blue has grown on me, I have to admit.

 

HWY 666 is out on Apple Music and Spotify

 

gonna stick to slipknot... thanks

 

This is just so weird, but hey whatever.

 

New single "Culture Head" is out, very RATM-esque guitar.

 

Gonna save the singles for the album on Friday, which I am excited to listen to.

 

Okay I don't know what I expected out of "European Tour Bus Bathroom Song" but it being a hardcore punk banger definitely surprised me


Record is solid all the way through, some good guitar work, nothing spectacularly incredible but interesting to hear Corey branch out a little bit. If you don't like CMFT Must Be Stopped you can rest assured the rest of the album is very different.
