Stone Sour (Alternative metal?)

Loudtrax added 3 threads to MMA regarding the band Stone Sour.  I'm not familiar with this band, but when I tried looking them up on MMA I noticed that they weren't included.  AllMusic has them listed as Alternative Metal and describes them as a cross between Metallica and Alice In Chains.  http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:kzfwxqq0ldfe  They also have a new release titled Audio Secrecy.  Any thoughts on this band and whether they should be added or not?

Definitely at least worth considering. I've only heard one soft song by them (might have been a Corey Taylor solo track as well, though), but i've got a picture of them being at least pretty metallish. Will look into it.

I'm fine with them being here.  Definitely have as many metal moments as other alt bands from what I've heard.

^ I know where you are coming from they are a mixture of Hard Rock and Metal. Sometimes they are just soft rock throughout tracks. They are no where near as hard as Slipnot. They have been nominated three for Grammys  Those were for the singles" Get Inside" , "Inhale and 30/30-150 the last in 2006 for best Metal Performance.

^I'm just putting in my two cents. What would a forum be without differing opinions? I'm just saying my opinion because I wouldn't add a band to a metal site if it wasn't metal. Obviously you guys say Stone Sour is metal so add them.
