Are you following the story?
The more I delve into the story the more I like it. And it doesn't hurt that the second half is the best Stone Sour album in 10 years. I love that it has more of a soundtracky and anthemic feel to it. Helps me visualize Zero banishing Allen that much more. And the whole of the story is very selfreflective. To me the best thing music can do is get you personally involved. This record just clicks with my headspace.
Part 1 was awesome (my fav album last year) and Part 2 is just as awesome. Probably more experimental and darker than the rest of their albums, but still very impressive. There are so many good songs. I couldn't see them live last year but I hope they come back to Chile with this new album.
Audio Secrecy killed my interest in the band. I'd say it's the worst they've done, including the pre-Slipknot stuff.
I actually do agree that Audio Secrecy is their worst. Both parts of House of Gold & Bones are fucking awesome though.
Great albums. Though I may ruin this for some, EVERY time I hear Black John, the riff just screams Ghost Busters.
