Lately, I've been finding myself listening to Corrosion of Conformity a lot.
Everything from their crossover stuff to the southern/stoner metal pepper-led albums.
Mostly been listening to the album, Wiseblood which I think is a fairly well-rounded album and far better than Deliverence IMO, an album that everyone states is their best album.
Lots of heavy songs (King of the Rotten, Man or Ash, Fuel, The Door etc), as well as the slower songs (Goodbye Windows, Redemption City), loads of fun, southern-tinged songs (Wisbone, Wiseblood, The Snake Has No Head etc) and the excellent album closer, Bottom Feeder (sabbath-tinged stoner rock at it best, I think anyways).
Just wondering what you guys thought of this album, or just Corrosion of Conformity in general.

Awesome Band!

:metal:

I like them quite a bit and Wiseblood is a great album. I agree that it is better than Deliverance too.

The only album I've ever really liked is "Blind". I've tried all of them, and I just can't get into em.

One of my favorite bands, I have also been on a COC kick of late.

I love their older hardcore and crossover stuff. I'm not a big fan of their newer stuff. One of the first bands to disappoint me back in the day by drastically changing styles.

I jusr listened to Live Volume yesterday I think. I like the heaviness of In The Arms Of God but half of the album is kinda meh, I prefer America's Volume Dealer.

I love C.O.C., both eras...but I prefer the material once Pepper came on board. Wiseblood is a good record but it's probably my least favorite, it has some great tunes but for some reason just seems kind of flat.

I would rate their studio albums (with Pepper) in this order:

1. Deliverance
2. In The Arms Of God (actually should be a tie for first place)
3. America's Volume Dealer
4. Blind
5. Wiseblood

I love Wiseblood. I remember when it came out thinking it was better than Deliverance but that was a short lived thought.

My personal favorite from the band is Blind, but I love all their stuff. Even the hardcore stuff, although that just seems like a totally different band.

EDIT: I forgot Live Volume. That album stinks. Such a boring performance. Maybe it sounds better when you're stoned?

My list.

1. Blind
2. Wiseblood
3. Deliverance
4. America's Volume Dealer (13 angels is great!)
5. In the Arms... (good but not all that)

Reed Mullen is the only drummer for COC imo.

The Hardcore days...

Reed is definitely a fantastic drummer and I wish he was still in the band.

However, Stanton was more than a suitable replacement for that album and he brought a dimension to the music they never had before. His playing on ITAOG is just plain INSANE...in the best possible way.

It was more commercial but you can tell it still had the southern rock drive.
