New Stone Sour In 2010?

So Josh Rand of Stone Sour made the following statement about the future of Stone Sour:

“Our tentative plan is to start rehearsals for the new album in the fall of 2009, hit the studio at the beginning of 2010, and release around summer time. I have to say that all of us are really thrilled about having Roy [Mayorga, drums] in the writing process this time around. I’ve heard song ideas from everyone, and I have a feeling this could be the most diverse STONE SOUR album yet!”

Am I looking forward to a new Stone Sour? Sure. I was looking forward to a new Slipknot too and that ended in slight disappointment. I’ve never listened to a Slipknot album so little before. What I’m hoping is that it’s not another rushed album because I’m sure Jim Root and Corey Taylor will want to take some time off after the Slipknot tour. I’m hoping there is a lot of time and effort put into it. I thought Come (What)Ever May was a good album but not as good as their first. I just hope this one is better than their last and way better than All Hope Is Gone.
