Reviews de la metal hammer y la rock sound respectivamente:
The continued ascendancy of Stone Sour, who always used to be relegated to side-project status because frontman Corey Taylor also happens to sing in Slipknot, is a genuine phenomenon. On the bands third album, there's no sense whatsoever that they're looking for a new direction: quite the opposite. Stone Sour can and do play material that owes a debt to Slipknot, but Audio Secrecy is the sound of a band who have already found their own voice. The biggest surprise is how far SS have come towards the heavy rock mainstream. Dying, Miracles and Hesitate are unashamedly commercial anthems - power ballads in effect - and have 'MTV hit' stamped all over them. That doesn't mean that Stone Sour have turned into Bon Jovi: other songs here, like the super depressive Imperfect, are far too dark for that. It's just obvious that the band have embraced their talent for writing songs aimed at people who don't like heavy music. And why not?
Corey has another band for when he wants to be heavy. It's now becoming evident that, given the right conditions, Stone Sour could follow their labelmates Nickelback and step up to the status of stadium band.
It probably wont happen: theres a lot of very shit music getting in the way and 'Miracles dont happen here', as Corey laments. You never know though: stranger things have happened.

Corey Taylor promised us it'd be "more mature sounding and darker" than previous efforts and we can safely say that album number three fulfils that criteria on all levels. Building on 02's self titled debut and 06's Billboard charting 'Come What(ever) May', 'Audio Secrecy' demonstrates a band heading for their pinnacle via an assortment of finely executed tracks each tempered by different textures, moods and tones. Take 'Hesitate' - a truly heartfelt lamentation via tender lyrics that display Taylors more fragile side yet, although its one of the albums most touching tracks, its also one of the biggest sounding, recalling the power ballads of the late 80's.
Set to a slow tempo, 'Miracles' is also deep in its sentiment, demonstrating a touch of regret that only those hard of heart will fail to recognise. As if to punctuate these moments, we're back in familiar territory with tracks like the hard and hefty 'The Bitter End' loaded with crunching riffery and a pulsing beat, while there are hints of Alice In Chains in 'Lets Be Honest' before the "fuck you!" vitriol kicks in.
For all those teens who grew up disgracefully with Taylor and Jim Roots other band, 'Audio Secrecy' is the soundtrack to the rest of their lives.

Es inevitable que no hagan mención al carácter comercial del disco.
A mí me da igual que apunten a ser estrellas de la MTV o terminen dando conciertos en estadios. Lo principal es que hagan buenos temas y que sobretodo hagan lo que les gusta pero sin dejar que el grupo pierda su identidad no como otros (no nombro a nadie).
Tengo muchas ganas de tenerlo en mis manos y destriparlo una larga temporada confiando en que se pasen por aquí el año que viene.

topscorer escribió:Y cuál es la identidad de este grupo? Por identidad entiendes seguir sonando más o menos como lo hacían?
A eso me refería.
En el primer disco sonaban como otras muchas bandas y no hacían nada especial, con el segundo lograron afianzarse más como banda con una voz de Corey Taylor más natural aunque conservando sus guturales que tanto le caracterizan.
A muchos les molesta este cambio radical respecto a lo que están acostumbrados a escuchar de Slipknot, pero sería de 'tontos' repetirse tanto además la monotonía les llevaría a la autodestrucción, a la pérdida de confianza como grupo y no harían discos tan buenos como espero que lo sea el 'Audio Secrecy' por lo menos para mí.
Pues me estoy escuchando su disco del 2006 y está muy bien. Hard rock bien hecho.

Bueno, tampoco me apasionan, sigo prefiriendo a los Black Stone Cherry por ejemplo... lo que pasa es que me esperaba lo peor y esta bastante bien.

No encuentro parecido entre SS y BSC... ¿desde cuando el cantante de BSC hace guturales? ¿Hablamos de los mismos BSC?

Cada uno se organiza a su manera, para mi son dos grupos de hard rock con un sonido "comercial"... los BSC tiran mas hacia el rock sureño y los SS al metal alternativo pero yo los pongo en la misma seccion.

Guturales??? que es eso???

¿Hablamos de los mismos BSC?
Totalmente, de hecho tengo ahora puesto el auto-titulado del 2006 y antes el Folklore...
