Brand New Sin Recipe For Disaster CD

 Big Step Forward
I held off getting Recipe For Disaster for probably eight months. i liked "Black 'n' Blue" and "Days Are Numbered,' but was underwhelmed by BNS's 2002 debut, and didn't want to be blowing $15 on another mediocre CD with three standout tracks. I'm glad I finally bought it though, because Recipe is a big step forward for the band. There's much more variety from song to song than on the first album, and more of the songs distinguish themselves as well. Good to hear they got rid of the unnecessary third guitarist, as he didn't really add much. The two remaining guitarists generally favor noise over technical skill in the solos, but usually, that's not a detriment. The drums are mixed in a little low for my taste, even lower than on the debut, but Joe Altier changes things up vocally a lot more than he did the first time out. My only real gripe is that some songs, like "Arrived," "The Loner," and to a lesser extent "Freight Train" are too repetitive, in some cases with the first and second verses being nearly identical but for a word or two, and endlessly repeating, choruses ("Don't forget your past! You've arrived at last!" bellowed at least one billion times). But then songs like "Black 'n' Blue"" 'Another Reason," "Runnin' Alone," "Days Are Numbered," "Brown Street Betty" and the mournful "Wyoming," make it all worth it. I had "Runnin' Alone' stuck in my head for four days after one listen.

 Not As Good As There Debut!
As much as I like this cd,its good,but if you put it up against there Debut Cd,something is missing!?! There Self-Titled Debut Kicks ya Right in the Nuts!!!(The reason is there are 3 guitarists playing on the Debut & only 2 on Recipe so the Sound is Deeper & Fuller on there first Cd!!!) So if you like this Cd,try & track down the BNS Debut Cd it kicks ass!!!!

 Great Rock n Roll Music
Great CD with old school hard rock in the vein of AC/DC, Black Sabbath and BLS. The guitar riffs are excellent, and most of the songs are great. If you're driving, crank it up and enjoy it.

 Great tunes to rock your summer and beyond
This is the type of old school hard rock you've waited a long time to hear. All the great elements of exciting guitar riffs, pounding backbeat of the drums and bluesy, gritty vocals will make you gather your friends and take a roadtrip to see this band this summer (or fall if you are in Europe)
