Review of Come Whatever May

Stone Sour—what, people are eating rocks now?—have perfected that pop metal sound a few years too late. A middle of the road sound. All the licks are there, the riffs are in place and the hooks are pre-teen friendly too. Opener “30/30-150” is the perfect track for the credits of some half-assed post-apocalyptic action flick. Come What(ever) May probably would have turned heads back in the ’90s, when metal clashed with drum & bass and techno on the Spawn soundtrack. But this is toast with no jam, no peanut butter, or even butter.
