Free Music Notes for IV
Free Music Review: Good, but not as intense as past efforts.
Hit: 4 Stars
Godsmack sounds like they just wanted to kick back on the beach and write an album you could mellow out to.
On that level they succeed.
It's a good album to chill to.
A very mellow album, hopefully not a sign of things to come.
I like the heavier, party Godsmack better.
IV Poster
Six albums into its career, Godsmack finds itself faced with the challenge of moving forward without betraying its roots. Although the veteran act manages to offer up a handful of convincing tunes on this hour-long affair, IV fails to hang together as a cohesive and convincing album. The opening "Living In Sin" and its follow-up "Speak" rock with conviction although neither breaks new ground; "The Enemy"--a reasonably good approximation of a latter-day Metallica tune--proves persuasive while "Shine Down" and "No Rest For The Wicked" are radio-ready distractions. As good as those and a number of the other songs are IV never locks into any particular groove and ultimately amounts to little more than a batch of songs placed end-to-end on a disc that's roughly 20 minutes too long. By the record's final moments--the passionate but decidedly dated angst-filled dirge "Mama," the meandering "One Rainy Day"--the listener grows weary of treading down an all-too-familiar path with a band that still has a promising future if only it could let go of its unyielding grip on its own past.--Jedd BeaudoinSix albums into their career, Godsmack find themselves faced with the challenge of moving forward without betraying their roots.
