What Highway to Hell has that Back in Black doesn't is Bon Scott, AC/DC's original lead singer who died just months after this album was released. Scott had a rusty, raspy, scream of a voice, like he might break into a coughing fit at any moment. In other words, on crunchy, hook-heavy metal classics like the title track, and on "Get It Hot" which is more roadhouse rock than metal, he had the perfect instrument for such wild-living anthems. Too perfect, it turned out. --David Cantwell

Album Description

AC/DC's 1979 album digitally remastered and reissued in a special digipak plus a 16 page full color booklet containing all original album art, many unpublished photos, classic memorabilia and new 2003 liner notes. Epic.

1 out of 5 stars The title says it all, this is not music............2007-07-04

Thankfully the noise is so loud, you can not make out the lyrics unless you look at the record label for the text to all the songs. But even if you could understand the music, it would make no difference. This is not music, just loud noise. The music industry stopped making music twenty years ago.

5 out of 5 stars Absolute Classic!!!.......2007-06-27

The only album better than this one in AC/DC's catalog is Back in Black. Buy them both!

4 out of 5 stars The legend of Bon Scott....4.5 stars .......2007-05-15

The last of the '70's Bon Scott albums, "Highway to Hell" is arguably the best AC/DC CD, save for "Back in Black". What Bon had that his successor does not is an authentic bluesy swagger, and wolf- like howl. When Bon sang it, you believed it. This is real bar brawl music and requires a swig of whiskey and some Camels to thoroughly enjoy. These songs rock from start to finish, and with no dogs, this is just about as good as AC/DC gets. Highly recommended, especially "Night Prowler", one of the best ending songs ever recorded. Nanu-Nanu

5 out of 5 stars Bon Scott at his best.......2007-05-13

Bon Scott is at his best.
Every song is good.
This is a classic.
Buy it.
Shot down in flames, Highway to Hell, and If You Want Blood You've Got it are my favorites.

5 out of 5 stars The best of AC/DC's albums.......2007-05-13

In my opinion this is the best of the AC/DC albums. If you do not like all their music you will still find songs on this album you will enjoy.

A new album from Hank Williams III is always a revelation: first, because it came out at all (his relationship with his label is as stormy as the marriage of his legendary grandparents); and second, because of its content and execution. So it's something of a miracle to see a 2-CD set of some of III's most hardcore Hellbilly (as opposed to the relentless screaming of his Assjack), especially as a number of the songs had been scheduled to appear on his unreleased 2003 album Thrown Out of the Bar. Hank III calls the new offering--recorded mostly on a $500 machine, for a DIY sound--a "thrill ride into a life of sin." This may explain the fact that Straight to Hell, which opens with some old-fashioned gospel and abruptly ends with the sound of a belly-laughing Satan, comes with a parental advisory sticker. He earns it, all right, especially on "Dick in Dixie," which is not a song about a man named Richard. As usual, III spends a lot of time pointing out what's wrong with Nashville; worshiping pills, weed, and wine; and self-mythologizing. But when he gets down to business, putting his graddaddy's bray on such songs of misery as "Angel of Sin," well, all is forgiven. III also gets big points for the second disc's 42-minute hidden track, a self-indulgent but brilliant pastiche of sound comprised of a Hank Sr. song ("I Could Never Be Ashamed of You"), snippets of a Wayne "The Train" Hancock tune, a fragment of a song III wrote with ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons, a little Cheech and Chong, as well as assorted sounds of a speeding train, runaway horses, pig snorts, a gunshot, and some hellfire-and-brimstone preaching. A drug-laced dream? The soundtrack to that journey to Hades of the album title? Damned interesting, either way. --Alanna Nash

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Helluva CD!.......2007-07-28

This is not only the best country record I've heard in years, it's one of the best CD's I've heard in years. Lyrics are simple and the playing is unbelievable. Even my friends who don't like country pickin have stated their respect for Hank III. This is not a CD by pretty boys with good hair and fashionable jeans, this is the real thing!

5 out of 5 stars Hellbilly Hellraiser!!!.......2007-06-26

To call this latest Hank III release revolutionary should demonstrate just how far country music has fallen from its roots. However, if anyone should lead the charge to regain the outlaw image while redefining the mythology of country, it ought to be Hank III.



Simply put, this is an absolute masterpiece. While Broke, Lovesick and Driftin' is a crooner of a record grandpappy would be proud to hear, Straight to Hell offers the best of all country and western has to offer. And make no bones about it, Hank III is serious about his country. Everything from bluegrass to hillbilly to southern rock can be found here.



You can also find the reverance of a young man who knows his country roots. Country Heroes is an ode to those outlaws that came before him. The men on which country has come to rest and, in times of need, fallen back on. D Ray White pays homage to III West Virginia roots while reminding Country music lovers who this music is really about.



And yes, there is the country mythology. Whether Hank has done half the things he claims makes no difference. The energy, enthusiasm and integrity with which he performs will make you believe just about anything. For all I know, he wrestled a grizzly bear with one hand tied behind his back while chuggin' a beer. Hell, that is tame compared to some of the content within.



At times the pace is so fast you can't help but wonder how they pulled it off. If you are ever trying to get your moonshine over the border, fuel up with Dick in Dixie. This steamroller of a song will have you burning a whole in your boots.



Then there is Low Down, a mid-tempo, southern rock diddy that could just as well been done by Hank, Jr. And the blues based tune, Not Everybody Likes Us, lets you know exactly what Hank III really thinks of todays state of Nashville.



'Old school' country fans may find some of the lyrics a bit harsh. There are plenty of drug references and colorful metaphors to describe sex. New country fans will not care for Hank's direct approach to the latest happenings with today's country scene. However, these are trifle matters easily brushed aside by the brilliance of this disc.



Oh yeah, and that is only disc 1. If the first disc has you reaching for the bottle, the second disc may just land you in jail. Enjoy!



5 out of 5 stars 10 Stars.......2007-06-07

Yeah, what everybody else has said and more. This CD gives me renewed faith in American music. I'm not a country music fan but I learned the words and sang along to Hank's records when I was a little kid and now, after the crap that Jr. puts out, here we are again, Hank Williams raising hell and turning things on their heads. Man, I cannot hear this CD enough. The songs are great, period, but don't overlook the musicianship, which is balls-to-the-wall great. Also a great act to see live if you get the chance.

5 out of 5 stars Hell Is Right! For Me It's Freezing Over!.......2007-04-15

Now, I certainly hope you can take the word of a guy who has never been into country music. I dip into so many genres, and country I had always avoided intentionally. Listening to this cd I realized why that is. For someone who doesn't like country, the only place you will hear any country is on the radio or on tv if you happen to be within earshot(or riding shotgun in a car with some schmuck who's blaring and singing along with it). And what kind of country is played on the radio and tv, children? Like any other popular music station, 100% Grade-A crapola. Hank is certainly an eye opener. Hank reminds me of the stuff my grandparents were listening to when I was very young; Stuff that sounded like it came from the heart and soul, not pop music with fake southern accents. Hank is country the way I always felt it should sound. Hank sings about heartbreak, drinking, and his idols. He's not afraid to glorify drug use and make a slam on pop country every chance he can. Kinda like the Manowar of country if you will. The fact that Hank's singing from the heart comes right through your speakers. You can practically feel it, and his enthusiasm and love for country becomes downright infectious. You find yourself going, "Yeah, Hank! You tell em how it is!" This is a guy right at home and having the time of his life playing songs in a bar with rowdy, dedicated fans, not prancing around in an enormous arena with 80 band members and wearing one of those secret service earpieces(that ever really seem "country" to you?). Hank is "keepin' it real" as those wacky kids like to say nowdays. Not one throwaway tune on Straight To Hell, so you need not bother with that skip button, just put it on and let it run. Disc two shows us that Hank's also into experimenting with sound. Lots of acoustic tunes with noises and sound effects in between. If John Zorn were to do a country album, it'd probably sound something like this. One of the sounds is a few minutes of a locomotive. If you have a good sound system at home and turn this up, you'd swear you had a train going right through your living room. Needless to say Brooks and Dunn won't be doing a disc like this soon. But as I said before, you want the real deal, this is it. I'm definitely no authority on country music, but I know what I like, and judging by the previous reviews for this cd, I seem to be on the right track. Get yourself on track!

3 out of 5 stars I Like Hank III.......2007-03-22

I really enjoy the music of Hank III. I own almost all of III's releases and each has some strong tracks on them. This one has some, too. I dig Satan is Real/Straight to Hell, Crazed Country Rebel,
and Dick In Dixie, but that's about it. That 42 minute whatever on disc
2 is a waste of space. For any disc to deserve 5 stars more than half of the songs should be good. Hank III has still not reached this yet...

I find very few albums that are so good it's worth buying.
This is one.... a very good one!

4 out of 5 stars Splendid stuff!!.......2006-11-08

My favorite Rea album, with (in my opinon) one of his strongest collection of songs. Usually you will find some "fillers", but I love every track, with the possible exception of the last (Tell me there's a Heaven), which is a little sappy for my taste. I was introducted to this album many years ago in a bar in Houston, where they played (no surprise) "Texas"...this still rates as one of the best tracks on the album (along with the title track), but there are many joys to be had here....listen to "Warm & Tender Love" and "Daytona". All in all, not much to dislike here

5 out of 5 stars Most Excellant.......2006-10-19

Great album in every way , music is super,Chris is a great artist

5 out of 5 stars Chris Rea's "Road to Hell" music CD.......2006-02-19

This album is an excellent piece of music, one of my favorite actually out of 100s of CD I own. Its style is difficult to pin in any well defined category, not really rock, not really jazz, no really blues and all of the above at the same time. But what's extraordinary about it is that even though it is probably 20 years old, that music could have been composed today or probably tomorrow as well. There is something powerfully universal about it. Definitely a strong mood music for the night, even better, for driving long hours into the night.

5 out of 5 stars A collection-item for Baywatch-fans !.......2004-10-06

Also for Baywatch-fans this CD from Chris Rea is a worth recommendation to their collection. The CD contains the song "I just wanna be with you" that was used for the Baywatch-episode "Island of romance" (1992 / season 3). While hearing this "warm" song, you'll remember those female housekeepers cleaning and cooking for Mitch and Hobie.

If you are interested in songs that featured on Baywatch, you can buy here on Amazon.com the Book: "Baywatch - Rescued from Prime Time". This book contains all credits from songs/artists (like Chris Rea), that you can buy here on Amazon.com

The soundquality of this CD is excellent.

    Album Description

    Dublin singer/songwriter Damien Dempsey - "Damo" to fans - embodies the passion of Ireland's rich history and politics with his personal tales about life and love all captured on his latest release To Hell or Barbados out on the United For Opportunity label.

    His fourth release, To Hell or Barbados shows development and incredible maturity from this exceptional artist, who returns with a new and very contemporary sounding album as the follow-up to Shots (UFO) - recognized by Paste Magazine as #36 on the "Top 100 albums of 2006." A variety of musical styles from rock, folk, reggae, and even electronica combine to make Dempsey's most accomplished album yet.

    A true man of the people in Ireland, and always looking to sing Irish issues into the hearts of the rest of the world, Dempsey's upcoming release and title track, "To Hell Or Barbados" refers to Oliver Cromwell's campaign against Ireland in the mid 1600s, during which many Irish were deported and sent as slave labor to Bermuda and Barbados.

    Ever a storyteller, Damo's songs as always pull no lyrical punches. In "Serious" we hear a two-way conversation with a drug dealer trying to tempt a potential client ⎯ or is it between a man and conscience? The electronica track "The City" is Damien's homage to his hometown of Dublin, while we see Damien's lighter side in the radio-friendly "Your Pretty Smile" and his trademark positivity in "Chase the Light", "How Strange" and "Summer's in My Heart". Opening track "Maasai", with its incredible vocal delivery is about the ancient tribes and their warrior spirit.

    If Sandler had shelved about half the material on this bloated 75-minute disc, he would have done the listener a big favor. At times, the relentless, one-note routines actually work. Sandler gets plenty of mileage out of fart after fart on "The Hypnotist." And every time the wise guys on "Respect" mumble that word, the funnier it gets. But too many skits go on forever. Lacking dramatic shape, they just hammer away at worn-out riffs. The five "Excited Southerner" tracks could certainly have been dumped. Sandler and his cowriters apparently think that the excited Southerner's stutter is enough to make these bits funny. Besides the dozen-plus comic routines, the disc contains seven songs, five of which feature full-blown musical productions and L.A. studio musicians. The standout number is "The Chanukah Song," one of two live recordings that feature a solo Sandler accompanying himself on guitar. --Fred Cisterna

    This is a great CD, yes there is some matrial here that rambles on, and some un-funny bits, but the other bits make up for it.

    5 out of 5 stars NOW I'M ONLY HAPPY WHEN I WATCH GIRLS PEE...........2005-10-15


    I may have said that his first album was the best. Well the first album was pretty god damned funny, but this thing is sheer comic BRILLIANCE! The skits AND the songs, all good. Except for the brutally un-funny THE HYPNOTIST skit (sorry Kevin Nealon, I couldn't handle the seven minutes of farts.) But everything else is incredible! The songs are SO cool. I actually saw him with his band in 1996. I was thirteen and I had a blast. I would go see him again, but now he's to busy making movies like SPANGLISH!
    THE CULT, RESPECT, DO IT FOR MAMMA, THE GOAT, SEX AND WEIGHTLIFTING are the ones that instantly come to mind... "we are definatley f'ing..., there are no weights or dumbells in this room...just my balls, ssssh baby my mom will hear."
    "OWE! F me in the goat A!"
    "So after lunch why don't you go out back and play with your Cawkinballs?"...."MAAAAAA!"
    "GOTTA RESPECT THE CONDOM"...."You F'in moron! RESPECT THE CONDOM, he's F'in five years old!"
    And more great stuff like that. By the way there is a parental advisory on this one in case you were wondering.

    After four decades toiling in the record business with little more than a fervent cult following to show for it, Bettye LaVette can seem like soul music's equivalent of Roy Hobbs, protagonist of the bittersweet baseball fable The Natural. Whether this riveting collection of ten covers by an eclectic range of contemporary female singer/songwriters will change the husky-throated Detroit native's fortunes seems irrelevant: Its spare, dusky groove and intensely emotional, in-the-moment performances seem utterly disconnected from concerns as trivial as fame and fashion. A forceful, timely reminder that soul thrives on the singer and not the song, LaVette doesn't so much cover these songs as reinvent them from the inside out, be it the chilling, a capella read of Sinead O'Connor's "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" that opens the album, a gritty take of Lucinda Williams' "Joy" where the singer burns with a fire that might make Tina Turner envious or her recasting Dolly Parton's "Little Sparrow" as bluesy omen and "How Am I Different" by Aimee Mann as inviting, r&b shuffle. In a musical era where soulful authenticity and emotional resonance are too often virtual, this album is a delicious dose of the Real Deal. -- Jerry McCulley

    Album Description

    With one eye on the intimate concept albums Sinatra invented at mid-'50s Capitol, and the other on the gritty yet sophisticated soul records produced at Atlantic in the '60s, this release offers ten songs that tell the story of Bettye LaVette. Recording stints at Motown, Atlantic, Epic, and a host of smaller labels left her with dreams to burn, and she pours every moment of hope and heartbreak from her 44 years in music into her tough-minded new collection. Choosing only songs written by female artists, she spins the tale of a woman in a world where men make the choices. For every moment of fear and loss, there's an answering moment of triumph and defiance. The songs are from such artists as Sinead O'Connor, Lucinda Williams, Joan Armatrading, Rosanne Cash, Dolly Parton, Aimee Mann, and more.

    4 out of 5 stars great album.......2007-06-14

    I heard a couple of samples of Betty LaVette on a website. I really enjoed what I heard so I bought the album.
    It was good investment, the album is great, it takes a bit of listening to, and you need to take time out to listen to it, it is not background music. Enjoy

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing woman..........2006-07-05

    If you're a fan of classic soul, this womans work is a must in your collection. Her powerful, raspy, raw voice, together with some amazing lyrics will have you listening to these tracks over and over. Check out 'Down to Zero'... I can't stop listening!

    1 out of 5 stars Betty Lavette.......2006-07-04

    I had not heard her before, only read about her. I discovered I don't really like her! Just don't like the style

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2006-06-30

    This CD was one that Amazon prompted me to consider based on the "people like you bought this" technology. And lo and behold, they were spot on! I like to play this CD while working out--nothing like "Joy" or "Why am I Different" to get the blood going. Yes, these songs are "he done me wrong" songs but so what? This is what women talk (and evidently, sing) about.

    There are only two songs on the album that I would say are 4 stars as opposed to 5--the opening song by Sinead O'Conner and the closing song by Fiona Apple. It's not that these are bad songs just that Bettye LaVette's interpretation of them was not quite what I was expecting. But that's me...others here seem to like them quite a bit.

    5 out of 5 stars Outstanding CD but Amazon's Product Review is PC lame!.......2006-05-16

    Let's get the quick negative out of the way first. In Amazon's Product Description, the anonymous writer opines, "Choosing only songs written by female artists, she spins the tale of a woman in a world where men make the choices." Really? Were you told to say that at the last NOW meeting? Why is male-bashing a part of a "product description"? Shame on Amazon for allowing Political Correctness to run amok.

    Now, on to the CD.

    If you grew up listening to music in any large, gritty, urban area, you can't avoid music like this - nor would you want to. Motown and Stax are the foundation for the pure soul unearthed in this music. It'll grab you, twirl you around, and make you dizzy with delight. Hypnotic in every way, from the vocals to the arrangements, it's bound to spend months non-stop in your CD player. It's music you can introduce to your friends and they'll thank you a thousand times over.

    Put it on, clear your calander, and enjoy the ride. Highly recommended.

    If you want to hear Styper hungry, but polished: driven, but uncompromising lyrically...then this is your album. Listen to the song More than a Man. These guys were big in the secular market in 1986, but this song gives praise and honor to the Lord Jesus Christ himself. It's a wonderful album!

    5 out of 5 stars Greatest Christian Metal band ever!! Enough Said!!.......2006-04-28

    Bands like Skillet and Pillar got NOTHING on Stryper! Stryper has the awesomeness and uniqueness that those other bands of today just don't have!

    Stryper sings about God AND has awesome guitar solos, melodies, vocals, and every song sounds different! There's NOTHING greater than hearing an album about my Savior, Jesus, and hearing the AWESOME music itself along with it! NOTHING!!

    To Hell With The Devil is the greatest Christian Metal anthem ever! I don't know how any fan of Christian Metal cannot love this song!

    Honestly is the greatest Christian Metal ballad ever and will leave you breathless!

    Honestly (no pun intended), this album is the greatest Christian Metal album ever put out and it's a MUST for any Christian Metal fan's collection!

    I recommed getting the band's entire collection but this album is the first one you must buy!

    5 out of 5 stars TO HELL W/ RATINGS.......2006-04-03

    POSITVE MESSAGE!
    THIS MUSIC GIVES US HOPE OF THINGS TO COME.
    I AM NOT RELIGEOUS. BUT I KNOW WHAT SOUNDS GOOD.
    IF YOU PUT SATANIC WORDS TO THESE LYRICS IT WOULD STILL SOUND GOOD. REMEMBER, IT'S THE MUSIC.
    I MIGHT BECOME RELIGEOUS IF OTHER CHRISTIAN BANDS SOUND THIS GOOD

    5 out of 5 stars EXQUISITE MELODIC METAL.......2006-02-22

    I can't think of a band more underrated than Stryper.Amidst the 80s hair metal movement (Poison; Ratt; Dokken; etc) this band knew how to play their instruments and also how to write good hooks and choruses.In addition to those qualities their vocalist and main songwriter, Michael Sweet was (and is) a powerful force.Truly one of the best vocalists i have ever heard.
    In this album, their third overall, they peaked in all aspects: musicianship, production, performance and strenght of songs.If you don't end up with the chorus of More Than A Man in your head long after hearing it, you are not a human being.
    Highly recommended, essential album.

    Product Description

    After The James Gang and before Rocky Mountain Way, Joe Walsh moved to Colorado and formed a short-lived group called Barnstorm with bassist Kenny Passarelli and drummer Joe Vitale. The result is this remarkable and intriguing 1972 album most often referred to as Walshs debut solo effort. What it truly is, though, is a richly textured acoustic/electric album that ebbs and flows with sounds and segues ranging from spooky to sweet, plaintive to psychedelic, from melodically enticing to ballbusting organ-guitar crunch rock. Its less than 40 minutes in length, but by its end the listener feels like he/she has been taken on a musical adventure of the best kind. The album didnt produce any hits per se, but charted in the Top 100, gave the world the first version of Turn To Stone, and resulted in a uniquely barnstorming national tour, wherein Joe Walsh reconfirmed if there ever was any doubt - his stature as a premiere musician. Joe Walsh next hit with Rocky Mountain Way and in 1975 added his unique energy to The Eagles, but this landmark early album is as good as anything the rocker did before or since. 1. Here We Go 2.

    1 out of 5 stars "Creative" editing ruins this CD.......2006-05-16

    This is one of my favorite records, and I've been trying for years to get it on CD. I have the original vinyl, but those Dunhill pressings were never much good. So, I was very happy to see that the record was reissued on CD. Unfortunately, there's some tape hiss, but most distressing, track 3, "One and One" has been edited to fade out with a long pause between it and the next tune "Giant Bohemoth". On the original vinyl, these two tunes seque into each with no fadeout of any kind. The edit on the reissue totally disrupts the "flow" of the album. Very, very disappointing.
    UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE******************
    Apparently this reissue was initially released using a set of incorrectly marked master tapes. The reissuing company has now found the correct masters, have cut a new digital remaster and is now circulating the corrected issue of this record.

    1 out of 5 stars Absolutely terrible sound quality!.......2006-04-15

    I'm not sure which edition Wayne Klein is referring to in his review but it certainly wasn't this one. As noted by another reviewer, Hip-O Select completely dropped the ball on this one, using the wrong master tapes to produce this CD. It is LOADED with tape hiss, so much so that I could not get through the entire disc before turning it off. I have been in touch with Hip-O's parent company (Universal) and they acknowledged the mistake, saying that a vastly improved edition with the correct master tapes will soon be in stores, but after nearly a year it has yet to appear and when it does the consumer may not be able to distinguish between the two editions. It's hard to understand a mistake like this not being caught before production. But it's worse that a company would allow unsuspecting consumers to buy this garbage and then not rectify the matter after all this time. Great music, bad business practice. I'm keeping my vinyl!

    5 out of 5 stars Classic Walsh album finally available on CD again.......2006-03-13

    Atmospheric and fascinating Joe Walsh's Barnstorm (aptly named)brought forth this terrific album after Walsh left the James Gang. Everything from the inspired opener "Here We Go" to the unusual "Birdcall Morning". From the instrumental "Giant Bohemoth" which slides right into the stunning "Mother Says" the album doesn't miss a beat.

    The biggest song here "Turn to Stone" would show up again in a slightly inferior version on "So What?" but the original primordial monster is here. Featuring crunchy a guitar lick and a stunning guitar solo Walsh never got this experimental again. The album closes out with the acoustic guitar/haronica driven "Comin' Down" which provides a tranquil close to a magical album.

    Like the 2005 Japanese re-release the magical sound qualty of the original recording has been retained. This is, in fact, the best the album has ever sounded (although honestly I can't compare it to the original Mobile Fidelity release since I never had it but have had the other import versions). Walsh never got better as a songwriter than here (although he came close with another couple of strong albums such as "The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get"). A marvelous reissue, this classic album only lacks bonus tracks and outtakes which would have made this classy package complete.

    Make no mistake, Zakk Wylde remains one of the most invigorating guitar players in rock & roll today. On Shot to Hell, he continues his fascination with the Alice in Chains-esque grunge that he and the rest of BLS whipped up for 2005's Mafia. As convincing as Wylde's riffing can be on tunes such as "Concrete Jungle," "Blacked Out World" (a track that imagines a darker version of Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion"), and "Faith Is Blind," you can't help but get the feeling you've heard this before--whether on previous Black Label outings or on the records that Wylde has made with Ozzy Osbourne. The slow-build ballad "New Religion" and its stylistic cousin "Sick of It All" suggest that Wylde may be wise to put a little more distance between albums and try to focus on making the all-killer, no-filler album he so clearly has inside of him. --Jedd Beaudoin

    2 out of 5 stars collecting dust somewhere.......2007-04-17

    After the crappy Mafia, things continue to get worse for BLS. After 15 strait listens this album is only barley listionable. Some of the ballads are ok, but that seems to be all this album has. I dont know what the hell happened to ZAKK after 1919 Eternal, but since then the band just went down hill.

    5 out of 5 stars Shot to Hell.......2007-04-16

    I was a bit skeptical on buying this album due to the rewiews it was given on Amazon. I bought Mafia because I really liked Fire It Up, while not expecting too much. I loved Ozzy era Zakk Wylde, so I figured I would get it so I could enjoy some healthy guitar playing. I was surprised at the quality metal that Zakk was laying down and Mafia got me interested in BLS. The next album on the list was this album but even though I wanted to get it, I was hesitant because of the beat down it was recieving by these reviewers. I think that the album is great, and I think the first 5 or 6 tracks on the album made the money I spent worth it. If you are a fan of BLS I recommend getting this album. So far any investment I have made in BLS has come up worth it and this album was no let down.

    5 out of 5 stars great cd.......2007-03-31

    Great cd, just like anything Zack does! All his music is good! There are more ballads than usual but they're all good!

    1 out of 5 stars I'd give a negative number if I could........2007-03-21

    This album is unbearable. Your ears will bleed. Your pets will have seizures. There is more creativity in these Amazon reviews than on this garbage album.

    Every year Zakk releases a new album that sucks even more than the one before it. Even when those of us who still want to like BLS (that have been around since Pride and Glory) don't believe that's even possible anymore- BAM! Zakk hits you with another uninspired 40 minutes of hurt.

    To the BLS street team, crew, and label that puts all the positive reviews up on here(no sane human being would ever like this album if they weren't being financially compensated to do so)- convince Zakk to take a few years off. Give him some drugs. Have him try another album in 2010.

    If you really want to waste $15, throw quarters into a well one at a time and wish that Zakk wasn't destroying the memory of No More Tears and Sonic Brew with these atomic waste albums.

    3 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2007-02-16

    Zakk Wylde has been churning out releases under his Black Label Society banner every year or so now for a while, and "Shot to Hell" marks the frequent Ozzy Osbourne member's debut on Roadrunner Records. Sadly though, "Shot to Hell" is a disappointing venture for Zakk, as a majority of songs sound, dare I say it, generic. And as much as I hate to say it, some of the material found here just sounds plain old uninspired. Now don't get me wrong, I love Zakk and BLS and just about everything the guy has released since Pride & Glory; but "Shot to Hell" marks a big step down in quality. Songs like "Concrete Jungle", "Last Goodbye", and "Blood is Thicker Than Water" are so familiar sounding that you'll swear you heard them on any of Zakk's Spitfire releases. Now that I've gotten all that out of the way, while the album itself is a disappointment, there is some light at the end of the tunnel. "Nothing's the Same" and "Lead Me to Your Door" are solid, and there is some nice shredding and hammering chords that Zakk and BLS are known for, but one can't help feeling that they've heard all this before. It's a shame that "Shot to Hell" is a disappointment; but maybe it's a clue that it's time for Zakk to take some time off before recording again instead of pumping out release after release year after year. Worth checking out for BLS and metal fans, but don't expect anything great like we've gotten before.
