Stone Sour by Stone Sour
Stone Sour is an album by Stone Sour, released in 2002. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 26 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Bother”, on 24 lists with a best position of #6.
Stone Sour's self-titled debut came out on Roadrunner on August 27, 2002, and it gave Corey Taylor room to be more than a screamer. The Des Moines band had first run from 1992 to 1997, then came back to life in 2000, when Taylor and guitarist Jim Root started writing while still busy with Slipknot; the real work kicked off once Slipknot went on hiatus after touring Iowa. The band produced it with Tom Tatman at Catamount Studios in Cedar Falls, Iowa, with Josh Rand on guitar, Shawn Economaki on bass and Joel Ekman on drums.
The draw is Taylor's range: he snarls through the heavy stuff, then eases into the hushed, aching "Bother". Critics took note of that range, "Get Inside" and "Inhale" picked up Grammy nominations for Best Metal Performance in back-to-back years, and the album went gold in the US.
