About this listen

 A skewering of the American underbelly by the New York Times bestselling author of Seven Deadly Sins, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Heaven, and You're Making Me Hate You

The always-outspoken hard rock vocalist Corey Taylor begins America 51 with a reflection on what his itinerant youth and frequent worldwide travels with his multiplatinum bands Slipknot and Stone Sour have taught him about what it means to be an American in an increasingly unstable world. He examines the way America sees itself, specifically with regard to the propaganda surrounding America's origins (like a heavy-metal Howard Zinn), while also celebrating the quirks and behavior that make a true-blue American. Taylor likewise takes a look at how the world views us, and his findings should come as a surprise to no one. But behind Taylor's ranting and raving is a thoughtful and intelligent consideration, and even a sadness, of what America is compared to what it could and should be.

Expertly balancing humor, outrage, and disbelief, Taylor examines the rotting core of America, evaluating everything from politics and race relations to modern family dynamics, millennials, and "man buns." No element of what constitutes America is safe from his adept and scathing eye. Continuing the wave of moral outrage begun in You're Making Me Hate You, Taylor flawlessly skewers contemporary America in his own signature style.

This was such a great listen I enjoyed it from Start to finish. I have been a fan of corey for a long I have listened to his last book "A funny this happened on the way to heaven. I enjoy the previous book so I know I would love this one just as much. I. Know it sounds weird but I pretty much to 100% what he said and what he believes in. It was very entertaining some bits I couldn't stop laughing but there were bits I listened carefully on what the serious parts. Again it was brilliant, I loved it I am looking forward to what else he does in the near future. Cheers Taylor you are a legend.

Such a fantastic listen! Love it!

Great book, my first audible experience could only have come from Captain F*ckmouth himself! Glad I opted to go for it and well worth the read/listen!

More Corey needed and I know it takes alot to record it but hearing the man retell the words makes the car journeys, showers and quite evenings listening to it even better! Keep it up CMFT!!

Fantastic words told only how Corey could!
