Maybe if Zakk didn't release so many albums with such great frequency, then they wouldn't be so repetitive and samey?
Don't get me wrong, I like his music, but I'm not holding out much hope of this being a great album.

I hate when people say that. Plenty of bands are/were able of releasing many albums with consistent quality. Infact all of the best artists of all time have done it. The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Stones, Bob Dylan. But these days we've become acustomed to bands being lazy and waiting 8 years in between albums.

I loved Mafia..after awhile. It grew on me. This Message Edited On 05.02.06

no, not really, the majority of bands do it, take 2 or 3 years to release a new album, i would much prefer them annually, even not as good, because it keeps me interested, inestead of a 3 year wait for a new chilis album

Yay, more pinch harmonics and bear-like vocals!

Zakk Wylde and Black Label Society are frickin sweet...I cant wait for this.

sweet! Mafia was an excellent album and I expect great things from shot to hell. This will help ease the wait of the new album sytem of a down is supposedly working on.

I havent heard alot of BLS, but what ive heard is way cool. Zakk is such a good guitarist. I cant wait for this album.

sounds like "mad" anthony only enjoys albums by 2 bands

No, I enjoy a lot of other bands too. Ozzy, VH, Zeppelin, Metallica, and Nirvana are some of my favorites.

I honestly dont know what to expect. And how is he pulling all these albums out his a*s?

Zakk is a dedicated musician. He doesn't take time off, he loves what he does from what I've read about him. So much that his cycle of life is so: Release album - tour - while touring write new material - continue tour - take material to studio - shred. All that in about a year.

Well...even if he is a dedicated musician..I thought for sure that he had a family. (I could've been convinced in an interview that he said he was pissed P Diddy used part of a Led Zepplin song and Zakk's kid thought it was originally P Diddy's) If Zakk is doing constant music work, it seems like his family is left in the dust. although, on the other hand that doesn't seem to be the case. He's pretty much on top of things.

It could also be that he had a lot of material all at once and decided to split it into two albums (Like shot to hell could be mafia left over ideas)

thats a valid point. im not exactly sure on his family life, but it seems like the guy is constantly doing something with his music career.

I'm sure there will be at least 3 great BLS songs on here. That seems to be the case for most of their work.
