There is something freeing about getting to that stage in your career when you reach the point of absolutely zero fucks given. Corey Taylor has always had that air about him but with his debut solo album CMFT has completely shed the shackles of expectation and released a collection of songs that refuse to cater for his larger than average fan base and flies in the face of every expectation ever placed on him as a performer.
