CFMT Album Review!

After some wait and after a shitty start to the year, we are now into Autumn and as covid is spiking up again in the uk and as I am back in lockdown and unable to see loved ones outside of my household, here I am today to bring you my thought's, opinions and most importantly review of Corey Taylor's solo debut album titled CFMT. 

I pre-ordered my copy from Amazon and it was signed by the legendary Cfmt himself so that is so wicked and I received the album a day before it's initial release which is quite something extraordinary to have especially from Amazon these days. As previously written I have already gave my thoughts on CMFT MUST BE STOPPED song, which you can see and learn more of my thoughts and about Corey Taylor in that review, simply click on the bold letters to see that piece.

With 13 song's on this stacked album, let's go through them as I give you my thought's on these songs before giving my final verdict on the album as a whole, do enjoy!

1: HWY 666

This is how you kick off an album, ROCK n ROLL!!!! A country metal track as this track simply informs us to buckle up as we are heading for a hell of a ride!!!!

2: Black Eyes Blue

This is a lovely alternative rock, love song which is also very lovely and catchy and i love. So for the less hardcore you got this to fall back to. 

3: Samantha's Gone

Really catchy chorus with a song which has such a great grove to it. 

4: Meine Lux 

Such a fast paced party tune here I find and oh catchy so catchy.

5: Halfway Down

Quite a flirty song here and very chill, the groove is damn catchy. The guitars are sooo smooth, it's having a cigarette while this is all going on I presume because them licks and solos beeee smokin'.  

6: Silverfish

A soft centred slow song with a catchy chorus to boot and it's almost like blues riff's and psychedelic feel is just chill with a kickin' solo. 

7: Kansas

I absolutely love this one!!! Just gives me such emotional feels and all in a good way, it's sweet, loving and romantic, i just pine over this one haha. 

8: Culture Head

This is a Hell of a tune! It was most recently played and performed on WWE's Nxt brand for PPV Takeover 31 and from there upon my first listen i was like "woah!" and "i need to listen to this again" which i still am like to this song and i play it on repeat a few times a day since this came out! THIS PUNCHES SO HARD!

9: Everybody Dies On My Birthday

I don't quite know what to make of this song, Corey is clearly sending a message and getting his thoughts out there. It's a decent track, perhaps a grower. 

10: The Maria Fire

Oh damn this be some bluesy jazzy stuff right here and so yeah i really like this song. 

11: Home

A soft touching song here, guaranteed to make you swell up and cry. 

12: CMFT MUST BE STOPPED

CFMT must be stopped is loud, in your face and kicks so much ass!, all the while moving and flowing like a coursing river, the music video features an all star line up of cameo's too! I love this song!

13: European Tour Bus Bathroom Song

This is goofy, fast paced and insane! This will have you scratching your head and headbanging and then questioning "what the fuck did I just listen to?" hahaha. 

Corey has kicked down the door to the industry years ago and now he's ripped the damn door off for all to see and hear. Corey is not a stranger he's been in this game for three decades now fronting metal giants Slipknot and also fronting the hard rocking Stone Sour, but for a solo outing, this is how you do it! This album, well let me just start and say that it is a lot of fun and you can hear how much fun Corey had in creating this album. It's has a varied range of sound in the instrumentals and a diverse vocal range from Corey that we all know and love very well. 

Overall
8/10

CFMT MUST BE STOPPED - COREY TAYLOR DEBUT SINGLE REVIEW!

Here it is bay baaaay!!!! 

After weeks of teasers and sneak peaks and after years of work we have the first single and the debut single of Corey Taylor's debut solo album!!!! 

Credit: Kerrang & Ashley Osborn.

This is how you make a debut single and this is how your announcement to the world should be!  Everyone needs to take notes, even if you took no notes you can bet your sweet booty that he's put the industry on notice once again but this time he's going it alone.  

You enter the world screaming covered in someone else's blood and you enter the music industry by shouting, being noisy, catchy, having some groovy riffs and bars whilst spitting flamin relentless bars. Effectively Corey has kicked down the door to the industry years ago and now he's ripped the damn door off for all to see and hear. Corey is not a stranger he's been in this game for three decades now but for a solo outing this is how you do it. Of course if you don't know who the fuck Corey Taylor is you will now!

Also worth mentioning another released track from this long awaited album has been released and it's called Black Eyes Blue and this is a lovely alternative rock, love song which is also very lovely and catchy and i love. So for the less hardcore you got this to fall back to. 

So far we got groove, blues, funk, soft, aggression as well as the obvious rock and metal vibes and course rap is present too so basically we got all we have known Corey for in his past but in one person and in his most mature state right now in time. CFMT must be stopped is loud, in your face and kicks so much ass!, all the while moving and flowing like a coursing river, the music video features an all star line up of cameo's too! I love this song!

Corey in a recent Kerrang interview stated he want's people to smile and say "Fuck, that was a good time!".  Corey in the same Kerrang interview also stated that this album fills in the blanks of his personality considering he is a goofball when it comes to social media and in interviews: "“People give me shit for being this loquacious goofball – in interviews, and in real life and whatnot,” he says. “But then I’m this very dark artist when it comes to a lot of my music. And yet people are like, ‘Well, how can you be one and the other?’ I feel like this album fills in a blank there; it ties those two sides together. You can’t have darkness without the light; you can’t experience joy unless you know what real sadness feels like; you can’t know that you’ve won unless you’ve lost… a lot. And that’s what this is: this is me coming back up to the surface and realising that I’m in a really good fuckin’ place, I feel like this is kind of the missing piece of a puzzle.”

5 STARS 

I can't wait for more!
