Parsley Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 [video=youtube;JkmZz-nrlyg] Sounds pretty good. I've been in rut with music and in need of something new (from an older band) so this is good. In a way, Godsmack are rather predictable in their sound, but if you were a fan in the late 90s, you probably still like it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I love the sound on this song, I just think the first verse, lyrics wise, are kinda lame. But I do love this song, and I've been waiting for a good new album as well. I'm still waiting on the new LB album as well, and just read that GNR have w albums complete, but that will probably be another 10 years before they see light knowing Axl.

Phil Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 "Cryin' Like A Bitch" was a pretty decent track, but I didn't really dig the last record as a whole. I've never really liked Godsmack as an album band to begin with. I usually pull three or four tracks off each record when I'm adding them to a mix. This one's OK. Not heavy enough for Godsmack IMO. Too rocky, not enough umph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too rocky, not enough umph. I find myself doing this a lot lately with a lot of albums. I have only been buying albums that I really like the artist for, everything else I either get for free from my library or just don't buy. I have to go through my iPod and delete out some more songs on albums that I don't listen to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 I was so desperate for something "new" I purchased an (old) album out of desperation a few weeks ago from Marilyn Manson. Why? While I was never a huge fan of Manson, I loved the "Mechanical Animals" album, I did some browsing through iTunes and found his album "High End of Low"...from 2009 on sale for $7. I've been quite happy with it. It got pretty shitty reviews overall but for me it was worth the $7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first verse is corny sounding. I too am waiting patiently on the LB release too. Would love to here that GNR stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too rocky, not enough umph. The last album was definitely a downer overall. I remember buying it, and within a month or two barely playing it. Meanwhile bands like the Deftones were producing quality albums that I continue to listen to (Diamond Eyes, Koi No Yokan). Godsmack's best days are likely behind them (by a decade or so) but I'll give this album a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of Deftones, and not to hijack this thread, but check out Crosses — it's a Chino side project that I've fallen in love with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will listen to it thoroughly tomorrow. :thumbs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we need some good new music from some of the older bands. I was just listening to my iPod last night on my way home from work, had some 90's music on and realized how bad todays music actually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually really disappointed in Sully's solo album though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I popped the "Evil Empire" album from RATM into my car CD player today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice, I now know what my dad was talking about when he said the same thing to me when I was a kid, lol. To me, rock music is dead. Its rough when Imagine Dragons wins the grammy for best hard rock album. Even todays metal and hard rock bands suck. I have XM and listen to Octane(todays hard rock) every once in a while, and its such shit. I find myself listening to Lithium(90's rock) all the time. I was listening to old school Everclear last night. Man I miss that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to old school Everclear last night. Man I miss that stuff. Yeah I think it's half us showing our age and half hard rock music going down the shitter. We had it all in the 90s, the tail end of hair metal, grunge, legit hard rock and nu-metal. I have no complaints. For me it was a progression from Motley Crue/GNR/Metallica into Nirvana/RATM into bands like TooL/Pantera/Korn/Deftones/Limp Bizkit/Clutch/Sick of it All. The last few bands I sprinkled into my "enjoy" list were bands like Godsmack/S.O.A.D/Hatebreed in the late 90s or early 2000s. Not many "new" bands over the past 10 years. I also mellowed a bit and opened up to bands like Incubus and 311.......influenced some by my wife (met her 2001). Her taste in music isn't too bad. She enjoys alternative music like Linkin Park, STP and Pearl Jam and she was able to handle my love for hardcore music...even dragged her to a few concerts before we had kids :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 I only listen to Pandora. Pandora is the greatest thing ever to happen to jogging/running. Love it, and the playlists are almost always solid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I only listen to Pandora. I used to do Pandora, but I hate how they changed it. I used to love how if you picked a specific artist, every 3rd song was by that artist, now your lucky if they go back to them every 10th song.
