News flash: Corey Taylor still has an opinion on everything

Corey Taylor likes to talk a lot. And by ‘a lot’ I mean ‘way too fucking much,’ because my man has an opinion on everything — and most of all, everybody.

After slamming Rick Rubin in the past as being overrated, now he’s saying he’s the best guy to work on the Black Sabbath reunion album. I guess we should praise him for being unbiased, eh?

“This is one of those instances I actually think Rick Rubin is perfect for. He gets out of the way and will let them get down to it. I can only hope they record it in the right way. I can only hope they get to do something righteous and not just something to make a buck. I think with Geezer and Tony pushing it forward, and, obviously, Bill and Ozzy, I think it will be fantastic. I am looking forward to riff fest!“

So Black Sabbath have Corey’s blessing? Pheew, they must have been nervous as hell waiting for a nu-metal singer’s approval. But now that they do have his blessing, they can finally start working on the album.

Everyone should just not do anything until Corey gives his OK on the given project. It’s just the right way to handle your career.

As for my opinion on Rick’s work. Let’s just say I want him to go Hiroshima on the loudness war and not stop with the ‘mixing’ until the waveforms of the album look like Tetris pieces.
