Godsmack: Sully Erna (vocals, various instruments); Tony Rombola (guitar); Robbie Merrill (bass guitar); Shannon Larkin (drums).
IV is the 2006 release from alt-metal outfit Godsmack. The band's sound, which draws from both traditional heavy metal and hard-hitting grunge-era acts like Alice in Chains, has remained largely consistent since their 1997 debut, and IV continues that pattern. Crunching distortion, snaky riffs, and thunderous rhythms make up the bulk of the sound, while Sully Erna's gruff, sometimes drone-oriented singing (which certainly owes a debt to Alice in Chains' Layne Staley) creates an evocative counter-balance.
But while IV may not overflow with musical reinvention, it boasts the strongest batch of songs the band has written since their debut. The album's lead-off single, "Speak," is a case in point, as are the songs "Shine Down," with its bluesy intro, and the powerhouse "Temptation." Fans looking for more of the well-crafted, bone-rattling sound Godsmack offered on previous albums will be wholly satisfied with IV.
Godsmack may never garner the kind of praise that's bestowed upon its obvious influences (Metallica, Alice in Chains, Tool), but the hard-working Boston quartet has managed to stay at the top of the alternative metal heap for nearly eight years. IV, produced by frontman Sully Erna, doesn't stray too far from the formula, relying on big midtempo brooders and heavy, drop-D riffs to work in the usual themes of loneliness, betrayal, and the overuse of the word "bleeding." For the most part it's cliché done well -- the record opens with an audio collage of children saying their prayers before bed -- and the band can turn it up to 11 with the best of them. Stadium-sized cuts like "Speak," "Enemy," and "Temptation" are sure to please the masses -- they even bring out the vocoder for "No Rest for the Wicked" -- and fans brought into the fold with 2004's acoustic Other Side EP will eat up the pensive, mandolin-led "Hallow," but there's little growth to be found, resulting in a textbook-executed slice of commercial aggression. ~ James Christopher Monger IV Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews outstanding

Ok, this is a good CD. Also, to the dude who said these songs were emo.....wow, that is just f**king retarded. He also said- "As an athiest its hard to find decent bands that stand for what we believe. Sully, I find, is nothing more than a poser."
Guess what moron he is Wicken. He also makes the kind of music that he feels.

"In tunes like "Pack of Lies" and "Lit," Rocketface boasts big distorted guitar, ass-shakin' bass, super-high energy, ultra-simple rock riffs, and a passionate, charismatic lead singer/drummer with an absolutely killer voice. These guys look good, and they rawk..." (Umbrella Music)"Rocketface singer Joseph Janisse (who doubles on drums) has one of those clear, resounding voices a la Bono and Chris Martin; Songs like "Lit" and "Death Never Dies" are tough, beaty and melodic..." (Eye Magazine)From the "indie" label that debuted The Trews and Boy, may we present to you - Rocketface! The music of Rocketface connects, transports and engages like only the best rock bands can claim. The first thing that hits is the jaw-dropping voice of Joseph Janisse. Janisse is also Rocketface's drummer. That's him, on his riser, in the middle of the stage at a gig. Alongside guitarist Ray Zilli and rhythmic co-conspirator, bassist David Markham. Rocketface have quickly captured the attention of new fans with their captivating live shows.This self-titled Bumstead debut was recorded with noted producer, Matt Dematteo, whose worked with Danko Jones, Big Wreck and Hawksley Workman.Official Biography:The music of Toronto-based trio Rocketface connects, transports and engages with understated but unmistakable ballast that only the best rock bands can claim.The music of Rocketface isn't easily compartmentalized, it's a total experience, one best consumed whole.The first thing that hits is the jaw-dropping voice of Joseph Janisse. Soaring, otherworldly, occasionally snarling, and larded with emotion, Janisse sounds like a choirboy with bad habits and heavy issues. But that voice is merely part of the equation.Janisse is also Rocketface's drummer. That's him, on his riser, in the middle of the stage at a gig. Alongside guitarist Ray Zilli and rhythmic co-conspirator, bassist David Markham, Janisse gives Rocketface something most bands would kill for: a unique angle on top of inventive songwriting and awesome musicianship."We're into great music," Janisse says. "We don't want to be a band where it's all style over substance."Strawberry Fields Forever is a good example of what we're going for," Janisse continues, referencing the Beatles' classic hit.

IV
$38.89
Includes 1 bonus track.
It's possible that, if Josh Homme (of the widely touted Queens of the Stone Age) wasn't in the Eagles of Death Metal, nobody would pay the band much mind. That's because EoDM's off- the-cuff sound is reminiscent of two stoner high-school buddies getting together in the garage to lay down some heavy rock tunes... dude. And, in fact, that's exactly what this is, but luckily one of those high-school buddies is in fact Homme (the other is frontman Jesse Hughes), and people do pay attention.
DEATH BY SEXY, the duo's second effort, is steeped in classic rock, particularly the 1970s FM sounds of Kiss, T. Rex, Alice Cooper, and the like. Riffalicious licks and pounding drums are the primary ingredients, and with song titles like "Cherry Cola" and "I Like to Move in the Night," it's clear the EoDM have one foot planted firmly in teenage rock-&-roll fantasia. A goofy sense of fun pervades the disc, and while it's hard to take seriously, it's also hard not to enjoy.
Taking things a little more seriously -- but ...
