The debut solo effort from the frontman for masked nu-metalheads Slipknot and post-grunge/alt-metallers Stone Sour, Corey Motherfucking Taylor (released for the weak of heart acronymically as CMFT) covers a wide swath of sonic territory that takes a swing at everything from Southern rock and pop to rap-metal, country, and punk.

The debut solo effort from the frontman for masked nu-metalheads Slipknot and post-grunge/alt-metallers Stone Sour, Corey Motherfucking Taylor (released for the weak of heart acronymically as CMFT) covers a wide swath of sonic territory that takes a swing at everything from Southern rock and pop to rap-metal, country, and punk. The 13-track set commences with the bluesy, country-rock road-burner "HWY 666, a Bad Company-meets-Mötley Crüe rush of machismo that feels tailor-made for one of those shell-casing-strewn Sons of Anarchy -style shootouts where nobody gets hit. Vibe-wise, the rest of CMFT more or less follows suit, with the greasy "Samantha's Gone" channeling Lynyrd Skynyrd, the lurching, rockabilly-tinged "Maria Fire" evoking a post-grunge version of Stray Cats, and the blazing "Meine Lux," which mocks the opening countdown to Billy Joel's "Matter of Trust" of all things, administering a lethal dose of fired-up dude-bro punk-pop. Disappointed Slipknot fans will find some solace in the beefy "Culture Head," but even there Taylor seems more intent on inciting arena fist-pumps than he does nu-metal apoplexy. It all works, for the most part, because Taylor sounds like he's having a blast putting his own spin on a mule-kicked jukebox of influences -- closer "European Tour Bus Bathroom Song" is pure, bratty school Black Flag. The stylistic shifts can be jarring, but Taylor sells the hell out it, and in doing so manages to bring some fun into the often-dour Slipknot universe. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
