Godsmack — Awake

This is the type of album Metallica should have released if they stuck to their hardcore metal roots. Like an intolerable and undisciplined pit bull, this record's bitten down hard on me and ain't lettin' go. Songs like "Greed" and "Bad Magick" are so brutally hardcore in their thrashy elements.

At any rate, Bezerk includes drummers from several nu-metal bands, including Velvet Revolver's Matt Sorum, Incubus' Jose Pasillas and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith (who it seems will play with just about anybody at this point). The group also...

Godsmack Hate Bored Fans

Without a doubt, Calgary's Max Bell arena crowd was obviously there for Boston's Godsmack on the MuchLoud tour.
