This is what good music sounds like I strongly urge you to go out and buy this cd. Peppers voice has a winsome quality on this album like he is looking back over time and remembering Ronnie Van Zant. You will not regret it. I cannot even begin to say how much I enjoy this album. The Southern Rock influence is fantastic but the grooves in it are just incredible.
Great Deal.and it arrived faster than expected. Although it was 'Used' it was in excellent condition. I'm happy to have it back in my collection. This is one of my favorites. I ordered this CD to replace one that my EX took it when he moved out.
Imagine that spinning at 33rpm. It starts with a monster guitar hook and pummels away your senses. The cover art is from a sticker on Black Sabbath's Volume 4 vinyl release, side A.
There's a big difference between a cool instrumental bit for a minute, and a Load-like 45 minute rock album. On this album, though, there's just way too much of those qualities. Many people would use those three words for the instrumental interlude bits on "Deliverance," but I actually liked those.
I'm not sure what, though. Perhaps this just reflects my biased expectations, but to me this album seems too slow, too soft, and too disjointed. I think that something happened to COC between Wiseblood (1996) and America's Volume Dealer (2000).
There's nothing wrong with being slow and soft, or even disjointed at times. I think the album before this (Wiseblood) and after (In the Arms of God) were both better than this one. This album isn't terrible.
It's still got some good riffs, some good vocals, and generally some good music.
Pepper gets it and so the fans who follow the man and his work. The sound, the texture, the lyrics, the overall energy of their cd's is simply amazing.While this release may not be everyones favorite, it's still COC full on and thiers nothing wrong with that. I have always loved this bands sound. It's sounthern rock with a big pile of Sabbath tossed in for good measure.
