Stone Sour is the eponymous debut album by the hard rock band Stone Sour. It was released on 27 August 2002, ten years after the bands formation. It contains three singles, two of which gained a fair amount of rotation on MTV. The singles, in order of popularity are: "Bother," "Inhale," and "Get Inside." The track "Omega" is actually a poem presented by Corey Taylor instead of a proper song. The album earmed two Grammy Award nominations ("Get Inside" & "Inhale") and has been certified Gold by the RIAA for album sales of 500,000.

The Special Edition of the album contains 5 b-sides by Stone Sour: "Rules of Evidence", "Wicked", "Inside the Cynic", "Kill Everybody", and "Road Hogs." The DVD also features a the music videos for each of the 3 singles.
