GODSMACK: New Album Track Listing Revealed - Mar. 24, 2006
GODSMACK have revealed the official track listing for their new album, "IV", due on April 25 via Republic/Universal. The album’s first single, "Speak", has been posted online in streaming audio format: Windows Media, Real Media.

"IV" track listing:

01. Livin' In Sin
02. Speak
03. The Enemy
04. Shine Down
05. Hollow
06. No Rest For The Wicked
07. Bleeding Me
08. Voodoo Too
09. Temptation
10. Mama
11. One Rainy Day

Best Buy and Target will carry exlusive versions of the CD. Copies of the album purchased at Best Buy will include the bonus track "Safe And Sound". "IV" CDs purchased at Target will include the bonus track "I Thought".

In a recent interview with MTV.com, GODSMACK frontman Sully Erna had the following to say about the follow-up to 2003's "Faceless": "It's a killer record, and I'm really curious to see what the public's going to think of it. It's still GODSMACK — I don't think it's lost the integrity of what GODSMACK has built our career off. The toughness of the sound is still there. But we've expanded a little bit more. After 'Faceless', we started to spread our wings a bit and reintroduce guitar solos and stuff like that. The acoustic record [2004's 'The Other Side'] was a departure and it was very well received. It opened up a new audience for us — a lot more adults were coming to the shows, bringing their kids and having a glass of wine. That gave us a permission slip to take it to the next level.

"It will perk people's eyebrows up again," he added. "The first couple of records were kind of the same record, in a sense. They were sort of bordering that metal sound and then the third record had more rock mixed into it. ['The Other Side'] really softened up the sound. This one is more rock and roll, and some songs are very epic, in a TOOL [-ish] sense. Some songs are like old-school GODSMACK, like 'Bad Religion'. It's going to service the core fans and introduce some new music to those fans. It's also going to recruit a bigger and broader audience, because the songwriting has matured so much."

Other songtitles expected to appear on the CD include "Livin' in Sin", "Shine Down" (which comes complete with "killer harmonica") and "Voodoo Too".

I like Godsmack. They're not Opeth or Meshuggah, but it's kickass hard rock music. Of course it sounds generic when you do rock and roll, but Godsmack has a signature sound within the genre. Like sunstyle said, they percussion adds a very cool flavor to this band.

The guitarist may be the most unoriginal instrumentalist in the band, but it's not terrible either.

Ok its one thing here to be a gay godsmack hater! IF you don't like them go to your Meshuggah site and fuck animals in the ass!
Talking shit about Godsmack is one thing but taking shots at our Veterans is another thing. If you fucks are so great and cool, do some fucking time for your country instead of sitting on your fat gothic asses complaing about how your life sucks!
You just hate Music and people more popular than yourself, stop hating on people that have better lifes than you!
Godsmack did the Navy commercial because they are smart, Music is a job, you have a job to make Money! Just because your groups don't make any don't hate on other groups...If you have something to say about the Navy, Army, Marine corps, Coast Guard, Air Force...Fucking Join and learn ...Stop talking and watching about the persian gulf on tv and fucking go there you pieces of shit! Ok I will let you be pathetic goth losers and talk about how great Meshuggah is....Honestly they suck ass, but I understand that Godsmack has sold more cds in a year than Mecraphuggah will ever sell. Sales = jealousy :) Comes with the territory

good post mudvayne. Seems like any band on here thats made it big gets bashed. Even fucking Metallica, the kings of hard rock get bashed. People bash the lord of darkness, Ozzy. Its a fuken joke. Anything with melodic vocals gets bashed. Seems like we have a bunch of jealous morons running their mouths. Also, anyone who talks shit about our men and women taking bullets overseas are assholes. If you don't like Godsmack, fuck off its not like they are going to miss your not buying their cd.

Never have served time, never will, and definitely don't feel bad about it. THere was a time when when "serving" your nation meant something......my, my, my, how things have changed. We have no talent hacks like Godsmack endorsing the Navy and dip shits on Blabbermouth trying to bash people that dont serve..........

When a nation or person attacks me personally, or we are in the midst of a civil war, then I MIGHT think about fighting. Until then, fuck off.

that have never been bashed - zeppelin, pink floyd. I know they are 70's bands, but its not bashing to point out weak spots in a bands current albums. criticism is not a bad thing. Godsmack just could have been a bit more thoughtfull in naming the songs ( perhaps they are too sheltered by managers , etc.) This is a great forum to discuss flaws as well as good points. The posts here are something like tv's neilson ratings, each comment represents thousands of others with the same opinion.

Unoriginal name (Alice in Chains), unoriginal song titles (see above).........below par lyrics, Drop D 6-string Wankery! Tony, broaden your fucking horizons, bro, James was only patronizing your for "teaching" him the Zeppelin song. You guys are lucky enough to sell alot of albums ( and I do mean L-U-C-K-Y) and tour with your heroes. I know I'm jealous. You guys were in the right place at the right time and that's all. The new single sounds like everything else in your fucking catalog....grab a glass of wine and grind on that top string bruthas. And Tony, one last thing, stop hiding behind the WAH....hanging around Hammett too much? This band proves mediocrity is alive and well, and you can have a house in the hills to prove it.

The answer: IV The question? How many times can you make the same fucking album? I thought I was missing something when I bought Faceless.......but, no. They sucked to begin with and still suck now. The paradox is don't we all wish that say, Metallica, would have done the same thing? Branching off into new territory isn't all it's cracked up to be. Find a formula and MILK it, that's where it's at. Sully, I worship all fuckin' 5' 2" of you!

Godsmack are rippoff poser metal, metallica used to be cool now they suck, just my opinion but shared by many. It has nothing to do with how successful they are I could care less who buys this shit, just confirmation to me that the vast majority of buyers don't know anything about metal and are content to listen to this lack of effort half-assed sorry excuse for music.

Since when is it a crime to use other band's song names? EVERY fucking band has done it. It's not a big deal. Get over it. And yeah, many of their songs sound similar, but at least they still sound damn good. I for one, will be getting this album. If you don't want to, you don't have to. But don't bitch and complain about something no one is forcing you to listen to in the first place.

Anyway, im really looking forward to the new Godsmack CD. I saw them live with Metallica October of last year and it is by far the best show i've ever been to...Speak lives up to what they have done before, wicked solo...to me a good song has a catchy tune, and this is exactly what Godsmack does...keep it up guys!

First off, for those of you bitching that Godsmack is ripping off Alice in Chains and Led Zepplin. Godsmack started out as an Alice in Chains cover band and Zepplin is a huge influence on the band. So it's not ripping them off it's remembering them and honoring their music. Second anyone who is willing to trade in 3 cord music for actual guitar playing and sounded lyrics for whining doesn't know a thing about music. All Kurt Cobain did was pave the way for Emo's. Nothing but whining and crying about not enough hugs. Listen to the music and to the lyrics before judging and I'm not talking about what's just played on the radio. Third. Anyone complaining about the music and is not a musician can shut the fuck up you know nothing and until you pick up an instrument or sing a lyric ( karaoke doesn't count ) you have no voice.
