This album is confused, so very confused. After the awesome single “Get Inside,” StoneSour seem to fall incredibly short. The band created a somewhat driven album that tries to combine alternative metal with a post-grunge sound. StoneSour’s self-titled debut CD features two members of Slipknot, singer Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root but stears clear of the Slipknot sound. Corey’s vocals reach a level that they weren’t necessarily able (or given the opportunity) to with Slipknot, combining harmonies and scream style vocals. Pounding guitar and bass riffs help fill the sound out behind the vocals, but seem to fall short at times. The best way to describe this album is too say that it went limp after an impressive start.
