Buckcherry – Confessions (2013)

BuckcherryConfessionsLast week, Buckcherry released their sixth album, Confessions.  Confessions was originally slated for a 2012 release, and I am glad the band didn’t rush this one out.  Good things come to those who wait.  You see, not only does Confessions contain some of Buckcherry’s strongest song writing to date, the band’s playing is also a step above their previous releases.

With Confessions, Buckcherry tackles the seven deadly sins.  Gluttony, wrath, envy, sloth, greed, pride and lust are all represented on Buckcherry’s latest opus, and are also seven of the album’s song titles.  The lyrics are based on singer Josh Todd’s childhood, and his transformation into adulthood.  The lyrics are a step above the normal song writing from Buckcherry.  Those looking for “Crazy Bitch” part two, won’t find it on Confessions.  What you will find however are some well crafted songs that absolutely rock.

This is the first Buckcherry album that I could listen to all the way through since 15 was released. The only negative I could find with this album, is that it lacks the sing along choruses that have made so many of Buckcherry’s songs popular.  It may be a different style of writing for Buckcherry, but I couldn’t find one bad song on Confessions.

With that being said, I still think this is Buckcherry’s strongest album since 15, and one that is going to get a ton of replay in 2013 and beyond. If you haven’t picked up Confessions yet, I highly recommend checking it out! The extended edition of this CD ( available at Best Buy) includes two great bonus songs, “Give ‘Em What They Want” and “When the Fire Starts” and a cool DVD as well.  Don’t miss this!
