Outlaw Gentleman & Shady Ladies finds Volbeat adopting a more mainstream/radio-friendly approach dominated by catchy melodies and hooky choruses. Albeit the efforts to expand the band's audience through this approach however, riffs remain aggressive and Metallica-alike, while rhythms are tight and powerful as ever. The album also highlights how skillfully Volbeat can deal with diversity as they are collaborating with King Diamond for "Room 24" on one hand and Sarah Blackwood for "Lonesome Rider" on the other. Recommendations: "Pearl Hart", "Cape Of Our Hero", "Doc Holiday", "Lola Montez", "The Nameless One".r

Not sure where the "radio-friendly" songs are...none of this is any more "radio-friendly" than "A Warrior's Call" or "Still Counting" were. I think with "Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies" Volbeat has really achieved excellent blending of their unusual metal/country/rockabilly influences instead of having distinct divisions of each within the same song - or more strongly rockabilly/metal/country tracks on the same album - as in the past. "Doc Holliday", "Black Bart", "Room 24", and "Ecotone" (if you get the deluxe version) are killer tracks. I have listened to this album repeatedly from start to finish and do not think there are any fillers. I also found the subject matter of this album more enjoyable than previous offerings, as Doc Holliday, Lola Montez, Black Bart and Pearl Hart were all real, historical individuals from the old West. I was more intrigued by the storylines on this album than I was on "Guitar Gangsters...", which I personally felt was their weakest album.rI've been listening to Volbeat for a long while, from their first album to now, and I think this is their most complete album to date. I think the addition of Rob Caggiano was a very positive addition and I personally welcome the guitar solos he brings as I feel it completes many of the tracks. I would put it equal to "Beyond Hell/Above Heaven" if not better.

Very disappointed by this album. Volbeat seems to be moving away from the metal/punk/rockabilly sound that we know them for.

So far this seems pretty solid and in line with what to expect from Volbeat.

Unimaginative and overall just pretty lame, by far the worst the band has done yet. "Lola Montez" and "Room 24" are the only real highlights (and Room 24 sounds more like a rocky King Diamond song than a Volbeat song), while the lowlights like "The Hangman's Body Count" (does this song contain a hook? If so I couldn't find it) are plenty.

Swap "The Sinner is You" for "Ecotone" on deluxe edition and this would be a 5

"Lola Montez" is fantastic. The rest is pretty average, boring and forgetable. Weakest album to date.. safe to say I'm dissapointed. Guess they just couldn't keep pouring out masterpiece after masterpiece forever?

Radio-friendly hard rock with some nice melodies. By far the worst the band has done so far.
