Stone Sour in "Best Rock Albums 2013"

The year is far from over, but already 2013 has seen a number of outstanding rock releases. This list will be updated throughout the year, but here are the artists and albums currently in the running to be among the Best 2013 Rock Albums
There is no ranking yet. The albums are listed with the newest releases first. We will continue to add to this throughout 2013, and at the end of the year — after an intensive discussion, a few beers and perhaps a fistfight or two — we’ll rank them accordingly as the Best Rock Albums of 2013. There are a variety of rockers on this list, from marquee names to underground favorites to up and comers. The one thing they have in common is that they have each released a top rock album of 2013

This is a review of album "House of Gold&Bones vol.2"

It’s difficult enough to write and record enough quality songs to make a good album, and even harder to do it for a double album. But that’s exactly what Stone Sour did with the concept album ‘House of Gold & Bones.’ The first half was released in late 2012, and the second part in the spring of this year. Both albums are outstanding, but ‘House of Gold & Bones Vol 2‘ is just a little bit better. The epic ‘The Conflagration’ is a highlight on an album with songs ranging from accessible rock to edgy metal.
