Slipknot

Stone Sour = commercial, just like MurderDolls, because the Slipknot style has become outdated, and they scattered to different projects just in case)
but I used to like it))) I remember breaking my arm in the 7th grade, and while I was in the hospital, I listened to them.

The first Demo of Stone Sour was in 1996, that is, even before Iowa (2001), and the first Stone Sour album was released in 2003, that is, before Volume 3 The Subliminal Verses (2004), so your theory is wrong))) And Corey Taylor is simply a genius, and I don't care if it's commercial or not, they play well, and that's the main thing!

It became outdated after Vol.3, when they no longer needed to earn fame with all sorts of stupid (I'm not accusing) antics at concerts.
now they released a new one, and, you see, they didn't fail, the album was a success. of course, now he is ready to write music for at least 20 years.

In my opinion, they became even more popular after that album, I like it more than Iowa (I don't understand why almost all Slipknot fans say that this is their best album, and after that they say that they have gone downhill, even if you kill me, I don't understand).

Maybe in the next album they will add more Math Metal, because I noticed a trend towards complicating metal among many bands...

In principle, each Slipknot album is different from the previous one.

I agree...
