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.
You might try some "Tool" as well. The recording quality is quite good for rock/metal and will push the limits of your hi-fi in dynamics, speed and imaging.
I bgeleive you might find sepultura to your likings both chaos AD & arise are great cds.
The self titled, 1st release "Godsmack" is awesome! I dont think they 'try' to sound like anyone else.Their sound is unique to my ears.Check out Linkin Park "Hybrid Theory" Great CD!! Creed "My own Prison" I agree Metallica is #1 (all on vinyl) Alice In Chains is way cool too! Check out their self titled LP (yes,on vinyl) it has a one legged dog on the cover."Jar of flies" is very good too.Avaliable on vinyl also.White Zombie is awesome!Their Astro-Creep:2000 is spine tingling!yep,vinyl too!
