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.
Free Music Review: Godsmack only gets better
Hit: 5 Stars
In this day and age, rock music is perpetually pathetic. Long gone are the days of old when greats like Metallica, Megadeth, GNR, etc ruled the world...makes me wanna cry. Godsmack, though, refuses to fall in the niche of "nu metal" like linkin park, etc. Ive seen Godsmack twice in concert and trust me, their cds fail dearly to doing them justice. Sully is very charismatic and Tony's guitar work is impressive and entertaining. Highly recommended- songs like "Mama" and "One Rainy Day" are shocking because at first listen its a surprise that the boys would write such lyrics- my favorites on this album though. Sully has immensely matured and its noticeable. Well worth the price- real rock fans cant live without it.Free Music Review: Not my favorite Godsmack cd
Hit: 2 Stars
This cd does not work. It sounds so processed at times, way too far the other way for me. I do appreciate them trying to change it up a little, but it's time to get back to the godsmack we love. Bring back the soul!!Free Music Review: Godsmack at their Best

If you are a Godsmack fan this is another good one . What else can I say?Free Music Review: When will Godsmack ever suck?
Hit: 4 Stars
i got this CD almost a YEAR after it came out. why? because in 2006 i thought this band MUST have finally run its course! it inevitable, right?
after seeing the oklahoma u. football video for "Enemy" on youtube.com, i thought "great song, sully, but a whole cd's worth of good tunes?"
"speak" was on the radio in regular rotation. "great bass line, nice bridge, good vocals, but thats probably the one really good song on the cd", i pondered.
someone did a video for "hollow" on youtube.com. "beautiful song", i thought.
enough already! i broke down and purchased "IV"....its almost perfect.
some people claim Godsmack is doing the same old same old. other reviewers here say they branched off, experimented a little.
im not sure where i stand on this, but i am not worried about that.
the boys put out another solid cd. it has relentless, pounding bass and drums. the vocals go from sully's low end yells that engulf you to mid-range crooning that he also does well. this guy has pipes.
the guitars are good, as usual-- heavy, dark, distorted, yet timed well with appropriate breaks and changes. its pleasing.
i did not give it 5 stars only because i thought two songs were a little long, one of the faster songs should have started off the album, and "one rainy day" could have been a tad better-- possibly with the sound of thunder and the distant clamor of a city street, to accentuate the feeling of distance and isolation? (just my thoughts).
great cd!
as an aside-- on July 3, 2006, Godsmack played the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC. Im ashamed to say that was but the FIRST time i had seen them live. Sully Erna was the heart and soul of the show. he looked like he had a blast performing, and really wanted the audience to enjoy themselves. i was impressed...but my favorite Godsmack song, "Greed" was not in the set list! i was very surprised and a little disappointed at that. but its a concert memory i will have for years!
