Is it so bad that it is good??


I really do not listen to rock/alternate radio stations.
However recently for some quirky reason I was listening to
99.1 out of Baltimore/Washington. I went bananas over
one song. It took about a week at the local music stores, but finally I found out the group:Godsmack. I bought it. It is the first rock CD I have purchased since Nirvana's Nevermind CD of 1991(?). The first three songs are the most awesome metal angst I have heard. Are they even considered a metal band or what. By my moniker, I am not a terribly "up" on rock these days. But by metal standards are they terrible, average or even good. Who else even sounds like them, particularly that machine gun bass?? Thanks to any who comment.

To me, they sound like they can't decide if they want to be Metallica (machine gun bass) or Alice in Chains, which is not a bad thing. If you like Godsmack, check out "Master of Puppets", "Justice for All" or "Metallica" by Metallica and "Sap", "Dirt", or "Jar of Flies" by Alice in Chains. These bands are genuine rock/metal innovators not to be overlooked.
