Audio Secrecy is crap. If anything, the songs are forced on that one, not HOGAB.

AS is alright. But it's crap compared to Gold & Bones.

Yeah, AS is great, don't know why people don't like it. My ranking from best to worst:

House Of Gold & Bones
Audio Secrecy
Come What(ever) May


Stone Sour

Listened to the new album once and it was okay.  Seems like it's more of a grower than Part 1.  The darker it is and the first few tracks really make me think that this would have been better released as a double cd.

Once you build the house of gold & bones, it does technically become a double CD. :neverusethis:

Part 2 is indeed a grower, but Part 1 just can't be touched. As a whole though, this is one monster album. Although, it's not without its flaws, which are only the minor re-use of past vocal melodies.

So you mean past vocal melodies from older albums or from part 1, because that is intentional.

Ranking the albums, huh?

House of Gold & Bones part 1
House of Gold & Bones part 2
Come What(ever) May
Stone Sour
Audio Secrecy

Yeah, I already put the new one above CWM, I like them pretty much the same, but I'm sure part two will be a massive grower, and one of the most played albums of the year.

Yeah playing part 2 again, and it still needs to grow a lot, but it's really quite awesome.

Older albums, specifically CWEM.

My Name is Allen's pre chorus is the same as 30 30-150 and the verses also have the same melodies.

The title track has melodies from the title track of CWEM.

That's about it.

Part 2 is really growing on me.  I find myself repeating it constantly the last few days, I think I may like it more than part 1.

Man, I can't stop listening to Part 2, IMO it slays part one.  Album of the year so far.

God damnit. Stone Sour is a million times better than Slipknot. Fuck. Audio Secrecy finally clicked for me too. Only took 4 years... OK, 4 years of not listening to it and then finally giving it a chance, but anyway FUCK.

FUCK

Damn. I do not know anything about the song writing process of SS, but I hope this does not affect their quality. HOGAB is in my opinion a modern rock classic. Both albums are stellar and way better than anything Slipknot has done or the preceding SS albums (save for maybe Subliminal Verses). I was really surprised when I first listened HOGAB.

I love ALL Stone Sour albums and I too am hoping the song writing doesn't get affected by this.

I agree on all of this.  I feel that Stone Sour has a sound that more tailored to me than Slipknot and if Jim Root was a huge integral part to the two House of Gold & Bones albums than this could bite Stone Sour's future albums.

I love both bands. Slipknot changed my life and Stone Sour has been quite present in my playlists during the last couple of years, so it's odd to see both of them changing some of the members I would consider important. But that's what happens, I hope Stone Sour will manage to move on successfully.

IMO, this is gonna hurt Stone Sour.  They had a good thing going and they could have potentially just fucked it.  I'm sure they'll recover, but it will cost them time.

Well, they've just released the best two albums of their career, so I don't think they could have improved on that anyway. It's kinda like Bill Bruford leaving Yes after Close to the edge.

I sort of meant in the respect of continually progressing and releasing quality material in a timely fashion.

Bumping.  So I'm listening to Audio Secrecy, today.  At first, I thought the songs sounded like standard radio rock.  And then, the songs started going into corny ballads like Dying and Hesitate.  They are not bad songs, in fact, I like them.  I just did not think they do songs like that.  Now the album is really kicking into sounding like the sound that I thoroughly enjoyed during the House of Gold and Bones albums.

It's all right of an album though.  Liked Nylon 6/6, Miracles, The Bitter End, Imperfect, and Pieces.  I will say that House of Gold and Bones Part II, to me, was the better album.

Oh, and in recent news, I hear they are doing a cover album.  That's all right.  Corey's got a decent voice that can cover a good amount of classics well.

So the new Stone Sour album comes out this week and I don't care for any of the officially released songs. Song #3 is okay but is an average rocker song. Me thinks this is going to be a big regression from the House of Gold and Bones.

I agree. I listened to the 3 singles each once, and I thought they were very mediocre, nothing memorable. And Corey is talking this one up big time too.

Corey Taylor would talk up his piss big time if anyone ever asked him about it. He's a pinnacle of over hyping everything.

I don't expect this album to come anywhere near the two House of Gold and Bones, but I'm hoping for a solid album at least.

I learned a long time ago not to judge an album based on its singles (and I thought they at the very least decent). I still have relatively high hopes.
