Yen has apparently been out overseas all day but as I type this still not out in the us. Edit: apparently it went up on Apple Music overseas but later disappeared. So either they delayed it or it’s getting a world wide release sometime during the day today
Easily my favorite of the 3. Chapeltown and The Dying Song are a little too Slipknot-by-numbers to my ears.
The raw sound to his vocals is taking me a minute to get used to on each track but I think as a whole album it'll go down more smooth. Definitely my favorite of the three since it sees them tinkering with their normal formula a little more.
Maybe that's why his Stone Sour/Vol 3 screaming vocals are lacking so much But, for real... his vocals on IOWA are the self-titled X 10000. It's mind-blowing.
I'd argue the Stone Sour / Vol 3 mid-2000s screaming vocals are a particular kind of scream Corey couldn't maintain but were awesome in a different way, certainly wouldn't call them "lacking"
Were those initial rumored tracklist times accurate? As in, was the closer like nine minutes long? Also, is there anything heavier than The Chapeltown Rag on there? Thanks!
I didn’t see the initial rumoured track list; the closer is 5 minutes long. Heirloom is probably the heaviest track
Received the album early for my themusic.com.au interview with V-Man – I’ll post it here once it’s online!
