Audio Secrecy

Audio Secrecy is the latest album by Stone Sour (whose singer is better known as the singer from Slipknot, too. Although I don’t really like Slipknot that much, only a few songs here and there).

The album is awesome, and even Corey Taylor boasted that this is the best album he’s ever done (but, let’s admit it, their self titled debut album back in 2002 was damn good too). I’ve heard it about three/four times today. Back to back. Which to a 20-year-old Maria would have meant nothing, since I used to listen to albums for days on end. But to the 32-year-old Maria, who barely has much time for music anymore, this is quite a feat.

It has been a long time since I fell in love with an album like this last. It was love at first listen. I can remember feeling like this with other albums, like for instance, Circa Survive or Taking back Sunday a few years back. Some of my other favourite albums were not love at first listen, but the type that “grow” on you.

This album has got 17 songs and I can’t find one that I don’t like. In a scale from 1 to 10, most songs would score an average of 8. And then there are a few which are simply a 10. I think at the moment my favourite one is number 13: Imperfect. This may change, though, as I listen to the album more and more.
