5.0 out of 5 stars Black Butterfly - 14 Track, September 17, 2008

By

This review is from: Black Butterfly(Limited Fanclub Edition) (Audio CD)

Had to get the Fan Club edition version of this album since Buckcherry is one of my top 5 fav bands of the last 10 years or so. This one contains two bonus songs, one of which ("Nothing") I would rate higher than at least 2 songs on the regular release "All Of Me", and "Don't Go Away", maybe even "Dreams" too? The other bonus track is "Stayin' High" which sounds a bit like Enuff Z'Nuff (and the topic sounds like something they would record now doesn't it?) It is a decent song also and I rate it higher than All Of Me and Don't Go Away also....what can I say, I am a big fan on Z'Nuff also!?

The album has alot of promise to me, I after 3 or 4 listens put it ahead of "15" for sure. "A Child Called 'it'", "Rescue Me", and "Fallout" are my favs right now. "Rose" followed by another rocker "Imminent Bail Out" sound great back to back. "Imminent Bailout" is also up in the top tier group of favs...which may change on a daily basis now that I think about it. The song "All Of Me" doesn't belong here at all, and it to me their weakest track ever...I have yet to be able to listen to it all the way through (4 try's). "Rose" is a nice song, sorta a mid tempo ballad type thing or whatever that works, but the interruption of All Of Me is me reaching for the remote to skip it...time to get back to rocking!

They do plenty of that on here, very good blues based hard rock with a dab of sleaze to be found abundant on any Buckcherry release, to be played loudly and enjoyed in all it's raucous splender.

Love the guitar work on here, some nice fills, abbreviated but necessary solo's that add to the feel of each song also. The feel is good on this one, and they are to me expanding a bit and trying some somewhat new things, but at the same time not straying too far from the formula also in the process if that makes any sense? I would rate it above "15" for sure right now...I still like "Time Bomb" better...but maybe after a few more listens not by much.


The "Best Buy Version" as it may be referred to in many circles includes a one year membership to the fanclub *explained on an insert in the packaging of the CD*

With this you get:
- 24/7 access to the members only fan club site
- Chances to meet Buckcherry
- Members Only Message Board (Like OMG!!111!!) j/k
- Contest with drawings and prizes
- And Much More (apparently)

There's a coupon code on the insert that you type into a spot on the site to redeem/activate I guess.

And of course you get the 2 bonus songs which are worth it for a few extra bucks.

I guess depending how into this band you are, is what you decide on. Buckcherry doesn't disappoint in unreleased songs/material, if only they could better decide on a couple songs here and there to put on each CD (after Time Bomb), but I do give this one 5 stars for being 1. Generous with the 2 songs. 2. Fan Club stuff, inside info etc. gained (even if only for a year).


Favs:
1. A Child Called 'It'
2. Rescue Me
3. Fallout
4. Rose
5. Imminent Bail Out
6. Too Drunk
7. Tired Of You
8. Cream
9. Talk To Me
10. Nothing (bonus track - demo )
11. Dreams
12. Stayin' High (bonus track - demo)
13. Don't Go Away
14. All Of Me

This album is exactly what we've grown to expect from Buckcherry. It rocks hard from start to end, even the "slow songs". I'm sure glad Josh Todd regrouped with Buckcherry instead of joining the old "Rage against the Machine" back before they found Chris Cornell.
"To drunk to ...." is the best party song of the year.

2.0 out of 5 stars The MP3 download is not as good as the CD., March 23, 2010

This review is from: Black Butterfly [Explicit] (MP3 Download)

For some reason the 3rd song on this release on the MP3 download is an old Deep Purple cover of Highway Star instead of the song Too Drunk which is on the the CD. Why did this change? It is not as good this way IMO a good album but this ruins it, buy the Cd and skip the MP3.
