The exceptionally talented Rock group Godsmack have released their CD entitled Godsmack. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe Godsmack fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Godsmack their artistic excellence is on full display as they have once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be their best work to date.

I wish it weren’t the case but, it’s not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can’t force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Godsmack. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

These days it’s a very rare CD on which every single song is good or better than the one before it. This CD is certainly one of those rare CDs.

If you’re even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD. Overall Godsmack is an outstanding release. I give it my double thumbs up. You will not be disappointed with one single track.

While the entire CD is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 7 – Someone In London, track 9 – Now Or Never, and track 12 – Voodoo.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – Moon Baby. Great track!
