Query: Not BLS's best, but still damn good

This may be my least favorite Black Label Society album, but it's still great. Nothing here that you haven't heard on the other three, except Zakk's voice is deeper and gruffer here. The solos are mostly at light speed, Zakk once again proves he's about the fastest picker around, and he once again dazzles with the effects he can produce even though he has nothing digital, no wrack mounted effects devices, not even a whammy bar, just 4 pedals. I didn't like Craig on the skins as much as Philth either, but he's still a great drummer (I've seen him prove it live @ Ozzfest 2002 to boot). That guy who gave this 1 star was a jackass. So Zakk went and did heavy metal instead of more Pride and Glory. He's still got monster chops and tons of soul. There's no reason to give this a zero just because Zakk stacked a bigger wall of marshalls and cranked up the distortion.
