- Strong performances unfortunately can't make up for incredibly basic, bland, and occasionally stupid song-writing.

Well, to be honest this album could have been worse…
We could’ve had Corey singing the SpongeBob SquarePants theme again. (If you know, you know)
Never forget
You're gonna make Loudwire mad
Oh no, they'll write an article pondering what Corey Taylor thinks of this, I'm so scared
@@themetalmeltdownofficialWhy would Corey care if someone has a negative opinion of his work? He’s been around professionally for like twenty-five years. He’s just gonna make stuff that he’s stoked on. And if you didn’t like it, then… maybe you’ll like the next one 🤷🏻♂️
Corey is an interesting dude to listen to in interviews, and he has a lot of talent. But we all got a stinker in us, and I guess this is his.
I can see a drinking game coming from a mile away.
waaaay too early to think about that... but I wouldn't object...
Drink a beer every time time he sings something. Take a shot when he yells
@@themetalmeltdownofficialit is not the worst album ever and stop thinking so negatively about it
@@themetalmeltdownofficialLol there’s already a reply in this reply section begging to be in the next drinking game. 🤣
Can’t wait for the drinking game….. I’m predicting….
Corey Taylor rhyming talk sick with talk shit definitely is a thing.
Definitely one of the lyrics of all time
Blud thinks he's Ozzy rhyming masses with masses.
Imma let that slide because at least War Pigs is a bop whereas CMF2 is not
Corey Taylor should just stick with Slipknot and Stone Sour. Regardless of what people think about those bands, his talent as a vocalist is much better showcased there. Here, he feels like an out of touch old man who’s trying way too hard to appeal to the younger crowd. I haven’t given either of his solo albums a listen but I’ll probably listen to them for laughs.
I wish he would leave Slipknot. Get a more brutal and heavier vocalist in
@@masterknife8423 i feel you, Slipknot has become a joke (just a bunch of overpaid boomers wearing masks trying to sound heavy for two songs and the rest is filler garbage, with corey's horrible vocals) and corey and clown are the main reason for this. absolutely love the early stuff but hearing the last two albums made me lose all hope and interest in this shitty band. stated getting into other bands i may have passed on and i'm glad i did, Slipknot died with Paul/Joey RIP and how they keep booting out the rest of the members is sad.
As much as I did think his debut was a mixed bag, I do give him a lot of respect to do what he wants outside of Slipknot and Stone Sour. Those two bands are separate in themselves musically and Corey's ambition and ideas were there for his own stuff as his passion for other genres and more music making is consistent. I don't personally think it would be something I'd listen to a lot in his new path though. Any musician can accept creative freedom and that's what I'm happy with for anyone to do with a different form of music. Some experiments work, some don't, but it's always down to opinions obviously.
I wish Corey never joined Slipknot. Anders was a far more brutal vocalist but I guess Corey's vocals were more mainstream friendly at the time
@@masterknife8423then none of us would even know of Slipknot
@@masterknife8423 "more mainstream" yeah nothing says mainstream rock quite like a dude in a mask absolutely screaming his guts out lmao
@@masterknife8423absolute cap. 'Mainstream rock' lol tf are you on about
I’d also like to hear about the new tomb mold. Or hell just review one of their old releases again.
Soon...
At this point just have stone sour back 2 ok songs out of 13 not good sorry fanboys.
I honestly loved the album, majority of the songs i loved but like the box was different for me. At first it didnt sound right but the more i listened to it, the more is it began to click. But honestly this is one of those albums that corey got the chance to release music hes wanted to release for years.
I actually really enjoyed this album myself. I guess it just gels with me a little more, but I'm not gonna judge anyone's thoughts on it 🤘🏻
more power to ya bud
At least he had a few really heavy songs on here... heavier than Slipknot is these days.
I like it, it's not great. But i really am excited that he finally put "Breath Of Fresh Smoke" out on an album. That has been one of my fave songs, I remember hearing it the first time 14 years ago.
1 word: ego. Corey might be a force to reckon with from his vocals in Slipknot and Stone Sour but being a solo artist. It sucks. He thinks by being having complete control in song writing, it's going to come out as a great rock album however it's all cringey butt rock.
But what would Corey Taylor say about CMF2? He already has dragged down Shitsnot with his pop music fetish, and everything Stone Sour after Come Whatever May was terrible as well
Boy, if you think this bad, check out the new Puddle of Mudd, Otep and especially Thirty Seconds to Mars...man those records could break the scoring system.
I honestly got a little chuckle from the "ah fuck" at the start of starmate, which got me thinking and kinda going to your point. Going the silly weird almost comedy route would make this solo project stand out more instead of sounding like stone sour light
Lol! Corey Taylor put out another dud?
Ok I didn't see any mix reviews from his albums I guess maybe from professionals. Some had said it's better then the first album. The ratings on Album of the Year, Sputnikmusic, and Rate Your music is a completely story. But I'll say this did one thing by getting that bad taste of Otep's album The God Slayer out of my mouth. lol
You know it’s bad when Robert is flipping the bird in the thumbnail.
Reverse hand with middle finger extended! 🖕🤣
EXTRA! EXTRA! LOUDWIRE WAIFU/SEMPAI RELEASES MORE BUTTROCK! (don’t) READ ALL ABOUT IT! EXTRA! EXTRA!
I admittedly haven’t heard it yet, but idk if it’s worse than the Maneskin album earlier this year lol. Entertaining review, 4/5.
The first álbum was a meme so I find It normal that this Second album sucks.
This album is flawed for sure but i think the worst rock album of 2023 goes to godsmack
Yknow what, fair, that thing was fuckin' lame
Lmao Chompy the service Croc! Such a good boiii
The rare service animal that you can actually pet. He's quite friendly so long as your name isn't Jerry Mander.
I saw a YT Short Corey put out from the studio about 6 months ago saying hes going back to the really heavy shit.... and then CMF2 was released...
I also agree with your opinion man
Big respect for Corey in terms of his talent and influence but i literally cannot listen to his solo output for more than 3 seconds without cringing so hard i have turn it off its almost ronnie radke level
Honestly I WISH it was Ronnie Radke levels of cringe, at least then it'd be more fun to talk about.
Feels like the CMFT could have been a one-off project. This just ain't it.
Couldn’t disagree more man. As many shows and concerts as I’ve been to in my life I can say Corey Taylor was as popular at rocklahoma and aftershock as anyone playing and got the best reaction from the crowd as any band playing. Post traumatic blues is a banger as well. They’re pretty damn good and put on a hell of a show. The musicians playing in their band (especially guitar and bass) are FAR beyond anything slipknot has ever had. Maybe not in the drums department but guitar and bass is not even close on who’s better (slipknot or CMF).
Yeah I actually dug this record. For me kinda refreshing to just have some rock songs. Fun, easy, catchy light hearted ,🤷
Yeaaahhhhhhh ima just go listen to new Gridlink and Tomb Mold instead………
Yo that new Gridlink is pretty gnarly too
This album is pretty lack luster the lyrics are kind of lame on some songs
I think Corey Taylor deleted 3 tracks from CMF2 entitled Hey Manifesto, Not In The Mood To Live, and That Mouse Is Dead
Good lmao
I like his vocals but for whatever reason I could never get into his music.
This wasn’t even on my radar, I think I’ll pass though.
Smart move
Hey, I know this is not a mainstream band (at least not to my knowledge), but yesterday I heard Psygnosis new album (and band in general for the first time), and I was very pleasantly surprised.. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the band, but it's kinda atmospheric prog instrumental metal (even with some post moments I'd say), and it sounds really well done.. If that sounds interesting to you, check it out! :)
Non-binary pals? I hope thats a joke
It was..... meh.... lol
Are you going to listen to the new Staind when it comes out?
Needs a few plays Dude 4/5 for me 🤘🇬🇧
At further inspection, maybe Otep isn't all that bad
Compromise: they both suck lmao
@@themetalmeltdownofficial i can live with that
Lol *songs
I can hear Robert’s liver crying for help…
Unfortunately those cries fall on deaf ears
@@themetalmeltdownofficial yeah fair…
yep it sucks
Shocker
Nice shirt
I actually liked this album and thought a few of the songs on here would’ve greatly helped out that disaster of an album “The End so Far.” If u could take out half of the existing songs and add 4 or 5 of the songs off of here that album would be a lotttttt better
The first CMFT album stunk. CMF2 actually is a better album.
Besides these projects were to give him an avenue to release songs turned down by both Slipknot and Stone Sour.
Personally I love both CMFT and CMF2…although I will say that CMF2 has tracks that feel like Stone Sour which isn’t a bad thing. I prefer Stone Sour to Slipknot
Why did you do this to yourself? lol. New Tomb Mold review better be on my desk by morning. Seriously though. No one is talking about that (yet.) Or the two new Blood Incantation tracks. All of which I really enjoyed. And Tomb Mold slid the EP on streaming too with the album. 💎👽
On first listen I like some of these songs. I dislike some others. And I'm pretty indifferent to most of it.
Damnit, Melty!!! I was looking forward to you reviewing Shining, Tomb Mold, Alkaloid or TesseracT next. Not this!! Lol I'm going to assume this will be a funny one though so I'll let you off ha
Didn't liked this album at all, but at least he doesn't try to rap here(Corey Taylor was always horrible when he tried to rap) unlike on his debut so...progress? Eh not really, this one sucked about as much. Glad to know it's not just me(someone who dislikes basically everything Corey Taylor, solo or Slipknot, dunno about Stone Sour cause I haven't listened them in years) who though it was bad
Have you listened to the new Gridlink album? That & tomb mold came out today Good Friday
I though Cory Taylor's first solo album was bad but this sounds even worse dont know if i should torture myself listening to it
Hated the first one but I really like this one. Midnight is such a fantastic song
Corey Taylor is very talented but I think his solo work just shows that he needs a good band behind him
Please do tomb mold tomorrow. Will of whispers
Needed a nostalgia critic feature smh
lol
I didnt hear CMFT but this one is for me like Commando. You turn your brain of and just chill 3/5 its not the think i heard this year
Will you be at the Tomb Mold gig tonight??
Hope you get to check out the new Gridlink!!😊
Tomb Mold is pretty crazy sick
Kerrang gave it a 4 out of 5 lol
Kerrang have had a Slipknot boner for 24 yrs so of course they'll praise anything Corey does
Why would someone waste their time reviewing this garbage when they could check out the mind blowing new Alkaloid album, Shade Empire, Tomb Mold, Fabricant and a bunch of others?
People like negative reviews. The vids get a lot of views. I will miss the Psycho Synner ones.
I gave it the same score
Not gonna listen to the Corey Taylor record. Going to check out the new Blood Incantation and the new Gridlink album instead.
NEW BLOOD INCANTATION??? 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
I didn't listen to the whole thing but it kinda reminded me of that party hard guy Andrew w k
Andrew WK way better, musically and vibe wise
I had the CD pre ordered. I haven't listened to it yet because it hasn't came in yet.
Hopefully when it arrives you enjoy it more than me bud
I wanna see a video on that Otep album, that was the worst thing this year.
Otep ben crap for a while nothing new.
I personally enjoyed most of the material on Kult 45, but holy shit the new album sucked.
As bad as that is, I really don't have much to say about other than "Yep, its a cover album AND its an Otep album, so of course its terrible" lmao
any plans to review new alkaloid and brujeria?
Tomb Mold is up next, after that I'm not sure. This whole month is STACKED.
@@themetalmeltdownofficial i hope you do. both bands don't release new albums very often.
Was more focused on new blood incantation and tombmold to even realize that this was coming out, and I think I’ll keep it that way lol.
Yo there's new Blood Incantation?
@@ProTobigen yeah new EP, containing one death metal song and one ambient track.
