Taciturn
Taciturn
From:
House Of Gold & Bones Part 1
Released:
October 23
It's ironic
that Taciturn is my favourite song from the first half of
Stone Sour's double album opus; after all, my biggest concern with
Audio Secrecy was its over dependance on balladry. House Of
Gold & Bones Part 1, for the most part, rocks much harder
than Stone Sour's last couple of albums; some of its songs approach
Slipknot levels of heavy. With Part 2 due in spring, it's too early
to tell if House Of Gold & Bones will become my favourite
Stone Sour album, but the consistency in quality of the first half is
very encouraging. Which brings me to Tactiturn; an outright
ballad that should have drawn my exasperation finds another gear at
the four-minute mark, its wheels leave tarmac and the song soars. Go
figure: I scoff at ballads, they give me their heaviest album, I like
the ballad best. I'm so fickle sometimes.
