Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

On Awake, Godsmack play their ghoulish hard rock with such a straight face, they make Metallica look like the Insane Clown Posse. For proof, look no further than heavily pierced frontman Sully Erna, who is not only a practicing Wiccan but the author of melodramatic declarations such as "Can't you see what this pain has fucking done to me." It's too bad the follow-up to the Boston band's triple-platinum self-titled debut rarely delivers the desired intensity. Instead, the album offers anodyne takes on the same old themes of aggression ("Sick of Life"), alienation ("Bad Magick") and hocus-pocus ("Vampires"), with the all-too-familiar buzzsaw of nu-metal guitars and elastic bass grooves tearing throughout. --Aidin Vaziri


CD Description

Boston's Godsmack were poised at the forefront of the alternative metal (or "new metal") scene that surged from underground to mainstream throughout the 1990s. Drawing on the rhythmic groovemetal groundwork laid by bands such as Pantera and Tool, Godsmack are a modern-day, meaner, funkier Metallica. The group made a sizable splash with its self-titled 1998 debut, but Godsmack's longevity is put to the test on the merit of its second Republic Records release, AWAKE. With the melodic, bluesy, Alice In Chains-flavoured "Goin' Down" and the Sabbathy "Mistakes", Godsmack run little risk of disappointing their dedicated, computer-savvy fanbase.

5.0 out of 5 stars Godsmack's outstanding sophomore release, 7 Mar 2002
Godsmack are the best kept secret in the UK, and somehow their enormous success in America hasn't been mirrored over here, yet. Every track on this album is is outstanding, they're heavy, intense and uncompromising. It's refreshing to see bands like this who deliver in all areas, where the vocals are as strong as the music, and the sound is original. They don't rely on effects and drum loops, just the instruments and aggresion they control. Stand out tracks are Awake, Mistakes and Trippin', but the rest aren't far behind. This album is as solid as they come.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, listenable, fairly heavy, 30 Mar 2002
By A Customer
Well... I'd never heard of Godsmack until I was browsing through the archives at Amazon.co.uk I thought I'd give them a whirl... and the first few tracks amazed me and he others were poor... but do not despair if you think most the album is poor... you just have to get used to it. Unlike other bands like Slayer who scream their point at you (which I personally like) this band are more gentle with their vocals. The Lyrics are very good and the song tracks that stand out are Awake, Sick of life and Going Down. I only gave them 4 stars because they are not the heaviest band alive... and I love the music heavy. Enjoy the original sounds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Fantastic..., 4 Oct 2001
By bjbinman@hotmail.com (Nottinghamshire, England) - See all my reviews
If you like your metal, then you'll like this album. Godsmack are fantastic at using heavy guitar to back the ever impressive voice of their lead singer, Sully. This is for metal fans who dont necessarily have to like the furious pace of bands like Slipknot, but enjoy slower guitar playing that you can appreciate. Instead of going mental, the band uses a lot of distortion and low pitch guitar riffs to give a controlled and infinitely likeable backing. The first few tracks, as you would expect, really jump out and grab you, and I instantly liked them. The later ones may take a few times to grow on you, but either way, this album is fantastic...

Agonizing an articulate remonstration of machevellian stoicism, the album proports an idealistic tragedy of Macbethian proportions. Read more
