I only wonder why so much of the crap nu-metal scene becomes famous when good bands such as G Godsmack just get totaly ignored. This band released a great cd named very unoriginally "GODSMACK", however, it must be said that the album is very impressive.

While that would be difficult to dispute – and, hey, Alice In Chains is missing in action anyway, so what the hell – it's nice to see that, on their second album Awake the band has gotten away from the Alice thing and has started developing a sound of their own. The first thing you notice about Awake is how fat it sounds: the production here is huge, ...
