Lots will say this is their sell out record. I don't care. CHUNK is amazing no matter what cd of theirs you buy. Get it. I made the mistake of turning it on when my mom was in the car with me...now she plays it none stop. So IF ANYTHING---this cd is overplayed over here. lol
I dont understand why I am seeing a lot of "Darkness Karaoke" and "Darkness cover band" reviews. This is a brilliant cd! Classic Darkness. Do not listen to the nay sayers (they always love to complain). This cd is fantastic and you will be addicted.
The only thing that I laughed at is my release had a typo on the back. They listed a couple tracks twice on the back. Hmm, maybe mine will be worth something one day when this is looked at as a classic album from back in the day ;)
I bought this because I am addicted to buying cds. I love Scott and I love Bumblefoot. I was curious to see what they would do together. It wasn't a disappointment but I am not sure what to think of the release yet. Im sure it will grow on me but I certainly do not LOVE it yet. I think i was being super fair with a four star review at this point.

Okay I was particularly excited for this release. I love MUSE. and I love Mutt Lange. I was so excited to hear that Mutt was going to be supporting these guys and sitting in the producer's chair on this record. I was not let down in the slightest! We still have MUSE here, with a slight Mutt Lange touch of heaviness and huge guitars! Psycho has Mutt all over it. When I first heard the single tho I was a little disappointed because the electronics of MUSE didn't seem to be present. NO WORRIES. The rest of the cd is full of it. Brilliant concept to the album too. I would pull out the sleeve and read the lyrics as you listen to it. Brilliant story. Not a happy ending ;)
Okay so I bought this cd for two reasons... 1) I love Mark. He is brilliant in anything he touches. and 2) Because of Wolfgang Van Halen. I have always been a van halen fan. And even though it is cool Wolf gets to play with his dad in VH, lets be honest, he has HUGE shoes to fill (Michael Anthony). This cd I believe has truly given him a chance to be his own man. He really shines on it. As soon as the cd starts you can FEEL that bass. GOOD NIGHT! Perfect cd. Marks playing is fantastic as always.
I first discovered Young Guns with Bones. I was super impressed and loved that cd. That one was a grower. (Loved a couple songs, the rest of the cd took some time to truly appreciate). This one I loved every song the first time through. This cd is so much more mature and well put together. The songs really speaker to me.
