Lions (album)

Lions is the fifth studio album by American hard rock band Corrosion of Conformity. It was released in 2001 via Sanctuary Records. The album marks a return to a heavier, more sludgy sound reminiscent of their earlier work, while still incorporating the southern rock elements that defined their commercially successful period. This shift was a deliberate effort by the band to move away from the more mainstream sound of their previous album, Wiseblood. Lions features the singles "Stonebreaker" and "Congratulations." The album received generally positive reviews, with critics praising its heavier sound and powerful performances.
