Review:
Stolen from Amazon:
The California Quintet, Buckcherry Returns with BLACK BUTTERFLY, a 12 song set that strides forward with the kind of confidence and spirit you’d expect from a band that feels it constantly has more to prove BLACK BUTTERFLY captures the band’s ability to master a diverse repertoire of songs. The album erupts with fierce, fast-paced rock tracks like “Rescue Me” and “A Child Called `It’.” Yet “Don’t Go Away” is a melodic, mid-tempo plea “about being vulnerable, longing to be with a loved one but feeling so far away,” Todd says. Buckcherry does throw a bit of a curveball out of the box on BLACK BUTTERFLY. The first single, “Too Drunk…,” is a slinky and sexy track that takes the band in yet another kind of direction, while still retaining a muscular, rocking core. Buckcherry hopes to continue that path with BLACK BUTTERFLY.

Review:
Stolen from Amazon:
From the ashes of legendary Strong Island metal-core band Vision of Disorder oozes A Cruel World, the debut album from Bloodsimple, the first signing to Mudvayne singer Chad Gray’s Bullygoat imprint. Produced by Garth Richardson and propelled by the explosive voice of Tim Williams, Bloodsimple ranges from soul-searing sensory overload to soul-searching soundscapes, without compromising either. Simply put, Bloodsimple is unlike any hardcore band you have ever heard.

Review:
I admit it all the time, I’m a sucker for slickly-produced, *good* pop and R&B. If Justin Timberlake isn’t the poster boy for just that, I’m not sure who is. Am I spinning this 24/7 and memorizing every word’ I’m afraid not. However, every once in awhile this is a fun listen.

Serj Tankian – 2007 – Elect the Dead

Review:
Serj’s solo album is a touch more refined that the usual System of a Down song, musically speaking. Lyrically, Serj is as frenetic as ever, and just as political. If you liked System, you’ll like the solo effort.

Review:
This Snakepit album has Slash as the only thing in common, the rest of the band is completely different. About what you’d expect from a Slash solo album, the songs rock, and he solos just as well as he always had. It wasn’t a chartbuster, but it’s a solid listen.

#True Love Will Find You In the End
Review:
Matt Good went through a divorce, a stay in a hospital for manic episodes and bi-polar disorder, and came out the other side with this album. A bit more bleak, a lot more direct, and a lot of just Matt. He did most of the instrumentation on this collection, which includes two covers (Dead Kennedy’s Moon Over Marin, and Daniel Johnston’s True Love Will Find You In The End).
