Buckcherry: Warpaint

Hello everyone! Today i didn’t really have any motivation towards an anniversary review so today i am going to do a new album by Buckcherry, I grabbed this and album the latest one from Children of Bodom and decided to tackle this one since i warmed up this morning to the other. The new Children of Bodom album is phenomenal by the way and brings back their classical sound with some very intense jams with a bit more purpose than a lot of their prior work had. This album is notable due to it having only the singer as the original member due to disagreements in musical direction. Their guitarist Stevie D. is the longest tenured guy currently going back to their 15 album (I reviewed). From my brief listen it seems to venture a little more towards their live appeal instead of the focused polish from their last few albums. It has been compared to 15 and in terms of rawness i will agree; but add some elements of their debut album to it as well. Let’s get started and see how this album shapes up.

Warpaint (Single): We begin with the title track and first single. It begins with an old school 80′s rock n roll vibe before Josh arrives to infuse a strong sense of rawness into the front. His is a bit hoarse in the mix but with the relatively slow jam progression; it should ease the listener in with a fair sense of ease. The chorus has a decent sense of catchiness but the raw regular verses will bring firm similarities to their 15 album to mind. I can see this being a decent live track to toss in due to its balanced energy and well done solos. I do think the initial track should of been one with a little more punch to it; but the ease-in factor of this track will make it a suitable opener as well. 7.5/10

Right Now: This track begins with an interesting southern grit guitar and a groovy drum beat that Josh arrives with a nice drawl to warm things up. It contains an interesting texture that i could see a crowd dancing to rather nicely. I would say that vocally Josh is bit muffled when picked out so; while they clearly are focusing on his raw traits in this album; i think the production might of touched his performance up too much. Other than that it’s another easygoing bar vibe track that focuses more on jamming than on the lyrics. 7.5/10

Head Like a Hole (Nine Inch Nails Cover/Single): Now i heard bad things about this at first but upon listening to it; i can easily say this is a surprisingly solid album highlight. It begins with a burst of guitar rage that immediately catches the listener’s attention with ease. It also serves to grow a sense of excitement in this album finally. The drums have a perfect bashing quality that echoes off of the guitars in perfect respect to the original. Josh’s vocals are left alone this time and have their signature sense of swaggery aggression. He does a perfect job of covering the vocals and paying tribute to Trent Reznor’s vocal delivery while still staying true to himself as well. Even though it’s a cover; its a smart pick for a single because it showcases a significant level of strength for the album and demonstrates a potential risky move being pulled off to a significant success. This will easily be a crowd highlight on their upcoming tours and it has me hoping the track on here titled Closer is another NIN cover. 10/10

Radio Song: This ballad track is a mainstream intended song as titled ha ha. It because with an emotional vocal entrance from Josh and is supported by blissful acoustic riffs. He delivers stronger lyrics this time around that establishes a nice sense of substance for the listener to unwind around. The chorus will be easy to sing along to and it will make for a good live pick. I could see this as a good pick for a single over their title track due to its clear mainstream appeal that could sit on the radio effectively. I do note some strong vibration in Josh’s vocals later on in the song; which doesn’t take away from the song’s strength; but its noticeable. I would probably change whoever handled vocals for next time to eliminate that.  Other than that; this is a pretty solid track to lighten the mood a bit and showcase the band’s talent with ballad tunes. 9/10

The Vacuum: The guitars return to a more gritty rock n roll vibe that sounded like something Nickelback would do at first before the vocals arrive. It has a soothing melody that is supported by a prominent rhythm section. The vocals are okay and progress decently but that muffle trait starts to get annoying as it progresses and could of brought more catchiness with a smoother delivery. He does continue to hit his high notes with ease so i will continue to suggest the guy that handled his vocal polishing get a pink slip for their next album. The instrumentals will deliver strongly and have some neat solos to focus on; so while it has it’s flaws it’s a listenable track on the album. 7/10

Bent (Single): Now so far this is my favorite track off the album and i’m glad that it was made into a single. It begins with some light guitar melodies before drums arrive to signal for the guitars to roar into a powerful jam track. It screams Velvet Revolver to a tasteful degree in terms of guitars initially and Josh delivers very solid vocals that aren’t fucked with this time around. His lyrics are solid and the chorus really livens things up and would really rev up a live audience. The instrumentals are very competent on here and i can tell they really had a blast jamming on this one. I recommend checking this out if you are on a browse listen. The solos are solid, the drums bash with ease and while the bass is hard to pick out; it doesn’t feel like it’s missing. 8.5/10

Back Down: This song begins with an odd back and forth vocal echo from Josh that will give a prime example of his live style for rallying an audience during a song. After his pep talk opening he goes into some pretty smooth verses that benefit from a nice sense of swagger. It meshes well with backing female vocals and a groovy rhythm section to strengthen some dance appeal in it. So far it’s a pretty simple piece that showcases more of the band’s performance centered side and has some very strong and melodic solos to sink your teeth into as well. Not a bad way to ease your way into the second half of the album. 8/10

The Alarm: This song begins with guitars that develop a very groovy southern blues tone. It immediately screams for some nice bar dancing and Josh’s vocals work very well at developing a sense of catchy swagger that would be nice to see live. As is usual lyrics probably wont stick out much over the general vocals and instrumentals but they make a firm statement during the chorus without being too overly dramatic. I definitely appreciate the stronger use of old school rock solos on here verses past albums.; because it really helps to give you a feel of how well they are live. 8.5/10

No Regrets: We begin with a nice guitar riff that is rather energetic but soothing and meshes with a consistent drum beat nicely. Josh delivers some decent vocals that don’t vibrate too much but really benefit from a strong sense of substance in his lyrics. It gives the song a nice sense of reflection that would make this a nice jingle for a tv show. The solo stands out strong as has been the case on most of these songs. I would note this as nice live friendly track that further showcases how fun and raw of an experience these guys had recording the album. 9/10

The Hunger: The guitars begin with more of a country vibe than normal; but is a very nice surprise on this ballad. Josh arrives to infuse a strong of emotion and lyrical substance into the listener’s front. This song actually demonstrates that Josh would stand a strong chance of having mainstream success if he dabbled with country in his solo work. 9/10

Closer: This song begins with some strong guitar/drum bashing that reminds me of AC/DC to a positive degree. Josh takes a more casual vocal delivery that matches the instrumentals in creating a slightly more easygoing progression. It gradually infuses more aggressive elements as it progresses but it foes feel like it misses something to really make the song stand out on the album. Other than that it’s a fairly decent rocker that pays heavy tribute to AC/DC and while it may not be the actual closer as titled; it does set the album up somewhat for the real closer lol. 7.5/10

The Devil’s in the Details: This finale track begins with a bluesy rock entry that builds up nicely before Josh arrives to deliver a more angsty vocal tone. He does suffer from that over echo effect but does succeed into creating a more raw and bluesy tone with the instrumentals. It does feel like it needs a little extra lift during the casual vocals since they take awhile to progress. Other than that it closes the album in a fairly decent way showcasing the album’s more raw and live jam/performance centered focus. 7/10

Overall album rating: 8.2/10

It is a good drop in score from their last album by a margin of .7 but remains consistent with their scoring on the other albums i reviewed so far. While the over production of his vocals on some tracks hurt them to a strong level i will praise the band for their performance overall. After 20 years in the game this album showcased and energized band stripping back their complex elements from the last two albums and just jamming in an old fashioned garage band day. It heavily showcases the live strength that this band thrives on and is some class old school rock n roll. I do hope on their next album; the vocals are done better but the current band members demonstrated their competencies for creating some solid jams and tasteful solos. I hope you guys enjoyed this review and i shall see you next time.
