COMMENTS
SuperEgo was a rendition of Stone Sour after they got together again (around 2000) following a break.
Prior to the reformation of Stone Sour, the band practiced and recorded under the name of 'Closure', 'Project X' and then 'SuperEgo'. The names 'Closure' and 'Project X' were very short-lived as those names turned out to be already taken. The name 'SuperEgo' stuck around longer and the band even released an album under that name. However, it was later discovered that name was also taken, so in the end they decided to just call the band Stone Sour again.
The album 'Click Here To Exit' is otherwise known as 'Click Here To Enter' or 'Click Here To Enter/Exit'. This album is highly experimental in nature, with alternative rock and metal tracks along with acoustic, spoken word and a comedy cover.
There were said to have been 16 tracks recorded but as you can see, only 13 made it on to the album.
The song 'Dead Weight' is also sometimes stylized as 'Dead/Weight'. This is because the track actually consists of two parts... 'Dead' became 'Rules Of Evidence' on Stone Sour's self-titled album... and 'Weight' features many Des Moines' vocalists and key figures including Corey Taylor, Anders Colsefni (ex-Slipknot/ex-Painface), Aaron Peltz (ex-Painface manager/ex-On A Pale Horse/ex-downthesun), Dizzy Draztik (ex-The Rejects/ex-Bomb Pop Mafia), Shawn Crahan (Slipknot), Gage Crahan (Shawn's son), Jim Corigliano (ex-Heroic Dose), Satone Stevens (Shawn's old drum tech/ex-downthesun), and Sean McMahon (ex-Slipknot producer). This song is in fact the only recording that both current- and ex-Slipknot vocalists Corey Taylor and Anders Colsefni appear on together.
The last song on the album, 'Death Dance Of The Frog Fish', is a cover of 'They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!', a 1966 novelty record by New Yorker Jerry Samuels, recorded under the name Napoleon XIV.
One show was played as SuperEgo at House Of Bricks in Des Moines, on December 7th 2001.
