Average Rating:
 Rating:  - 2nd album, 2nd to noneAfter their very succesful and very listenable self titled album, Black Stone Cherry had a mountain to climb in order to even reach that level. Well, they managed it, and have delivered another heavy hitting southern flavoured offering - Folklore and Superstition kicks off with the extremely catchy 'Blind Man' followed by the equally strong 'Please Come', 'Reverend Wrinkle' and 'Soulcreek'. The next song, however, is completely different. 'Things my father said' is a soft ballad with a Zakk Wylde-esque piano intro. This song fits right into the album; and with the rest of the songs to follow, with 'Devil's Queen' and 'Peace is Free' being the standout tracks. That being said, the album is not perfect: the lyrics of the songs are still the weakest ... Read More: Rating:  - Worthy follow-up to a fantastic debutKentucky's Black Stone Cherry's debut album, released in 2006, was absolutely fantastic - a breath of southern-fried fresh air with huge riffs, powerful vocals, sizzling guitar solos and wonderful melodies and, I'm pleased to say, their second album, 'Folklore & Superstition', pretty-much continues where their debut left off, apart from, perhaps, being (only very) slightly less heavy and maybe a tad more commercially-minded - I have to say that during the insanely catchy 'Soul Creek', they drift dangerously close to Bon Jovi territory, although Bon Jovi never sounded quite as heavy as this. It may be that this album suffers a little by comparison - the debut was an extremely hard act to follow - and yet, if you had never heard of Black Stone ... Read More: Rating: - Southern Hard Rock, almost perfectSo here we go, the second album from Black Stone Cherry is here, and it's been worth the wait. Southern Rock has never sounded so fresh and contemporary, killer guitar lines, powerful vocals and improved songwriting all contribute here to a band rapidly on the rise. Things don't really get much better than album opener "Blind Man" which believe me is a good thing, because this song is easily one of the best rock songs I've heard this year. The Ballad "Things my father said" again fits in beautifully, its a tearful reflection on one's dad who has passed away. It's a shame a band like this is not very well known, by that I mean the casual music listener, because it really is a quality album. Rating:  - Less Nickleback pleaseNot bad but not great. Ony half as good as first album. Some good riffs and ideas interspersed with disappointing rock hero/commercial/protracted choruses. I can almost hear the record company rep saying - "great first album but can't you make it more accessible? Something the kids will like and sing along to. Then we gonna hit the big time - think of the cash...Have a cigar..." Less Nickleback more Sabbath next album please. I have booked tickets for Oxford gig in December with the Answer - may get blown out by the supoport act. Rating: - pure brilliancebought this album after hearing Blind Man on Scuzz. The album turned out to be complete suprise. You know what it's like, you buy an album after hearing one song and you often find the one song you bought it for was the only decent song on it. Not the case with this one, the whole album does not have a bad song on it. Its got everything, great lyrics, good strong vocals and some amazing guitar work. go buy it. |
