Come What(ever) May

Come What(ever) May is the second album, on which Stone Sour greatly widened its range. The drummer changed to Roy Mayorga, and it was made with Nick Raskulinecz as producer. Building on the melodic hard rock of the debut, it evolves toward more intricate, dynamic songwriting. Corey Taylor set his own alcoholism and recovery from suffering as themes, greatly increasing the emotional depth. "Through Glass" became the band's biggest hit with its memorable melody, reaching a wide audience. "30/30-150" and "Made of Scars" were both Grammy-nominated, and "Sillyworld" also gained wide popularity. The ballad "Zzyzx Rd.," charged with feelings toward recovery, strikes home with Taylor's sincere lyrics. Binding aggression, melody and introspection at a high level, it reached number four on the US Billboard 200 and achieved platinum. The band's most successful album and an important record showing expressive maturity.
