I've only heard it once, and it didn't do all that much for me. I was actually disappointed. It certainly brought my hopes down for part 2.

I heard it and really dig it.....also, if the current track times on wikipedia are correct, pt. 2 is gonna be really proggy! 16 minute titletrack, hell yes!!

wolfking · « **Reply #37 on:** February 25, 2013, 02:55:34 AM »

That sounds awesome if it's true.

Do Me A Favor is good, far from the best, but the last minute or so (A Rumor Of Skin reprise) is amazing.

The track times on Wikipedia look like times someone has just made up, to be honest... though I'll be pleased if they aren't.

I loved the new single, especially the last minute. What a great time to be a Stone Sour fan.

Yeah Part 1 was really a sleeper hit for me. And it had me from the start too. Didn't have to "try" to like it at first.

Entirely possible they're legit, but the 16 minute long song is one of those five minute long songs with ten minutes of silence and a minute of violin or something at the end.

They seem too good to be true, though.

They probably are too good to be true.....but I can hope.

Ok, I listened to Do Me a Favor again, and it was way better than last time.

Mladen · « **Reply #44 on:** February 26, 2013, 04:25:44 AM »

Just looked at the wikipedia track times. I find it hard to believe that part two will almost be twice as long as part one. Not to mention how unrealistic it sounds that Stone Sour would record a 16 minute long title track, I'm giving it 6 minutes in length tops.

wolfking · « **Reply #45 on:** February 26, 2013, 04:33:36 AM »

Yeah, I don't believe those times either.

EDIT: Track times have been taken off the site.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #46 on:** February 26, 2013, 02:50:35 PM »

Kinda figured they would be.....I so wanted those lengthy songs.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #47 on:** April 02, 2013, 05:04:32 PM »

Part 2 is now streaming!

I'll wait until I pick it up on the weekend.

It's pretty good shit, bros.

Title track is bad ass.

philmcson · « **Reply #51 on:** April 03, 2013, 08:42:30 AM »

As are Black John, '82, Shine.....

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #52 on:** April 03, 2013, 12:58:44 PM »

Red City, The Uncanny Valley, The Conflagration and the title track are standouts for me. I've said it before, it would've been even better if it were all released in one package.

Mladen · « **Reply #53 on:** April 04, 2013, 07:00:18 AM »

Just made it through the part two for the second time, it's got some great ideas, but time will tell how it stands against part one.

My question is - can anyone lead me into the story? Both parts. I wonder if anyone got it or really paid attention to it, I'd like to get into what's going on.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #54 on:** April 04, 2013, 01:29:03 PM »

If you buy the Pt. 1 CD, the first half of the story is in the booklet instead of the lyrics, I can only assume it'll be finished in the booklet for Pt. 2 lol

Mladen · « **Reply #55 on:** April 04, 2013, 01:45:28 PM »

Dang, I completely forgot about it.

RuRoRul · « **Reply #56 on:** April 04, 2013, 04:27:47 PM »

Listened to the ablum a few times now and while it's not as easy to get into as Part 1 (and may not be quite as good ultimately, although it's hard to decide that after only a couple of days), I really like it.

'82, The Conflagration and Stalemate stand out the most right now.

On first listen it sounded like really generic glam metal

wolfking · « **Reply #58 on:** April 04, 2013, 06:08:51 PM »

I never even bothered to read the story in the booklet.

I read half of it and got bored.

As for Part 2, after one listen, Part 1 blows it away, but even after several listens, I can't see myself liking Part 2 as much as Part 1. It's just too damn good. Not to say Part 2 was a bad listen.

wolfking · « **Reply #60 on:** April 04, 2013, 06:50:01 PM »

Yeah, I find myself coming back to part 1 quite a lot, really solid album. Will be hard to match it.

Zook · « **Reply #61 on:** April 04, 2013, 06:57:27 PM »

I know some will find this strange seeing how only several months have passed, but Part 1 is in my top ten albums of all time.

Zook · « **Reply #63 on:** April 04, 2013, 07:23:01 PM »

It's an amazing album, dude. I've recently discovered a band called Lorenguard who's first album is also in my top 10. My top ten is going to look a bit different in my second Top 50 list. It's rare to find albums that damn good nowadays.

I don't find it strange, unlike most, I don't think you have to listen to an album dozens of times to know how much you like it. Some just have an immediate impact

I totally missed out on their latest albums. Enjoyed the s/t and Come Whatever May somewhat, but I didn't give Audio Secrecy a chance. I decided after the first two songs that I wasn't interested, and my feeling is that it's not a very big loss.

Part 2 of House of Gold and Bones I encountered on Spotify, and it really grabbed me. Red City is an amazing track. Then the rest of the album is awesome too? WTF?

I have two albums full of awesome music to discover!

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #68 on:** April 11, 2013, 05:36:54 PM »

Yeah House Of Gold & Bones is by far their best work. IMO, it's a modern day version of The Wall......bold statement I know, but I truly love this album.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #69 on:** April 12, 2013, 07:28:49 AM »

Do Me A Favour is definitely 5th album material.

I can't listen to it as it reeks of " Hey, let's write a super catchy song ! "

It reminds me of the song you write at band practice and it's decent enough to carry on playing but not as great as

all your other songs. It just sounds really forced to me.
