What makes Bother by Stone Sour notable?

The album gained significant attention for its lead single 'Bother,' which showcased a softer side of Taylor's songwriting and reached number two on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart. Its success helped solidify Stone Sour's presence in the alternative rock scene and laid the groundwork for their future albums. Released on March 3, 2003, 'Bother' marked Stone Sour's self-titled debut album following the band's formation in 1992. At this point in their career, frontman Corey Taylor was already known as the lead vocalist for Slipknot, but this album allowed him to explore more personal and melodic themes.
