A frontrunner for worst album of the year, despite it being a supposedly-for-fun side-project of those involved in HELLYEAH. This album is a raunchy hot karl that will annihilate your temporal lobe. When I first heard that members of Mudvayne, Nothingface, and Pantera were going to form a supergroup in somewhat of a tribute band to Vinnie Paul's fallen brother Dimebag, I was ecstatic. I love Mudvayne and wanted new material, enjoyed Nothingface, and while I'm not a huge Pantera fan, I always had the impression that Vinnie Paul is a hell of a dude and a very down-to-earth guy. So, when I say that I really, really, REALLY wanted this album to be a good rock album - not a five-star, it'll-change-my-world album, just a good album - I meant it.
Unfortunately, this album sucks. Chad Gray is abysmal on this album, and who knows what the hell happened there. Vinnie's drumming is pretty solid throughout, but there aren't very many noteworthy hooks on this album in terms of guitars. It's sad to say that the song "HELLYEAH" is the best track on the album, mostly because it's stupid-fun, but also because it flat-out rocks. The only solace I can find in this album is that I'm sure these guys had fun recording it and Dimebag feels honored, if you believe in an afterlife. These guys meant well, I'm sure, but this album totally blows. Anyway, the title track, "Matter of Time," and "One More Thing" are listenable, but tracks like "You Wouldn't Know," "Alcohaulin' Ass," and "Goddamn" are horrendous.
