Customer Reviews:
One of the Best Recrods I Have Come Across in a Long Time.......2007-04-10
From the moment I started listening to this I couldn't stop. This quickly became on of my favorite albums. If you thought it was cool when Alice in Chains release SAP and Jar of Flies, then you WILL enjoy this record. It is an amazing melange of songs that are mellow but still quite heavy. I am genuinely shocked that songs like "Way Beyond Empty" and "Road Back Home" never got air play. While "Hangover Music" comes close, I only hope that Zakk Wylde will decide to make another record of similar style and caliber.
WYLDE'S MAGNUM OPUS AND A GENUINE FIVE STAR ALBUM.......2007-01-26
There are no bad Zakk Wylde/Black Label Society albums, period, and in fact most are really good. However, this album is something very-very special, and in my opinion Zakk's best work by a large margin, which is very unusual for me to be saying because this is not Zakk's hardest/heaviest work, which is always what I gravitate towards. Every aspect of this album is wonderful and beautiful, and even though this is not even close to Zakk's hardest/heaviest work, it is also in no way a rock ballad *ank-fest, you likely already know that is not Zakk's style, as he has spent the better part of his career telling us what a bad*** he is. Everyone knows what a talented and diverse guitarist Zakk is, but I think he also has a voice that is tailor made for Rock/Metal, and on some of these tracks his vocal performance is truly phenomenal. Now, if you read my many other CD reviews you will see that I have never used the word masterpiece to describe a CD, and in the big picture of Rock/Metal as a whole I don't know if I would consider this CD at that level, maybe I would, but at any rate this is without question Zakk's masterwork. If you don't own this CD you are missing out on something truly special. This just may be a perfect album. I can not recommend this CD more highly.
A COMPLETE ROCK MASTERPIECE !!!.......2006-09-07
GREAT SONGS, GREAT PERFORMANCE, GREAT PRODUCTION, A PERFECT ALBUM. THIS ALBUM IS ZAKK'S SWAN SONG. A MUST HAVE FOR ANY ROCK FAN. NOTHING MORE TO SAY. A+++
My new favorite CD!!.......2006-07-12
You can really hear Zakk's talent on this one. His voice is not as gruff, and I felt like I heard his actual voice and guitar work for the first time. I love BLS, but because these songs aren't as heavy, a lot more soul comes through, I think. It's not metal, but who cares? There is some really great guitar work and song writing here. I would compare it to a more passionate Skynard. "Way Beyond Empty" and the acoustic "Peddlers of Death" stand out as my favorites. You should give it a try if you're open minded enough. If you're afraid of a little piano or harmonica, don't bother!
