Stone Sour, Come What(ever) May

09/29/2006 15:09:41
If there is one thing that Stone Sour proves on its latest CD Come What(ever) May, it’s that it will be a hard task indeed to pigeonhole them. On the band’s second major-label offering, with the styles differing so much from song to song, vocalist Corey Taylor shows that he is much more than one of Slipknot’s masked men. Rounded out by guitarists James Root (another Slipknot member) and Josh Rand, bassist Shawn Economaki, and new drummer Roy Mayorga, Stone Sour make a distinct effort to create layers on their songs that many bands don’t have these days.

Although Taylor may receive the spotlight much of the time because of his frontman status, most of the credit really needs to go to the amazing guitar work by James Root and Josh Rand. The two guitarists provide the most interesting aspects of the album and make Come What(ever) May much more than just another metal band. From the first track “30/30-150,” in which a beautifully executed dual guitar solo is played by Root and Rand, listeners know they can at least expect quality axe work.

Theory of a Deadman, Gasoline

Gasoline, the product of Vancouver's Theory of a Deadman second offering, is immediate and urgent without sounding the least bit rushed. Throughout, the band is inventive and precise, drawing influence from decades of rock and recontextualizing them into personal and passionate songs that range from acoustic-based ballads to electrified anthems.
