ALWAYS ACOUSTIC™ ALBUM REVIEW

Tuesday, October 7, 2008
By Aaron Keker


Buckcherry released their fourth album Black Butterfly on Eleven Music/Atlantic Records on September 16, 2008.

Black Butterfly debuted at #8 on Soundscan/Billboard 200 Album Chart. The album is available at Amazon, Tower, Rhapsody, Napster and any store that sells Buckcherry’s music.

The most shocking thing is Black Butterfly has gone M.I.A. on iTunes U.S. One must wonder when or if it will be released anytime soon in the U.S.? In my opinion, Black Butterfly would be even more popular if it was released on iTunes U.S. 

Who knows how quickly the album could have reached gold or platinum status had it been released on September 16, 2008? Nevertheless it is still successful without even being released on iTunes U.S.

“Rescue Me,” “Tired of You,” “Too Drunk…” and “Talk to Me” are some of my favorite electrifying songs from Black Butterfly. You can hear the influence that Aerosmith and Steven Tyler’s vocals have on Buckcherry and Josh Todd. Just listen to Josh belting out the lyrics to “Talk to Me.”

The three power ballads entitled “Don’t Go Away,” “Rose” and “Dreams” might just become the most popular songs off Black Butterfly. They just might even surpass “Too Drunk…!” In fact, the video of Don’t Go Away is available to U.K. iTunes fans.

The dark horse on the album might just be the catchy country/rock sound of “All of Me.” This song might just have you tapping your feet alongside Josh’s vocals.

Whether you enjoy the electrifying tempo, the power ballads or the tapping your feet to a country/rock song, maybe Black Butterfly will open your eyes to an additional side of Buckcherry that maybe you have never discovered.

Finally, I would like to see Buckcherry release “Don’t Go Away” acoustically like they did with “Sorry.” Maybe they can release it on the deluxe edition of Black Butterfly or at least as a digital single? I believe it has the potential in becoming a very successful digital download by Buckcherry. Below is the album song list for Black Butterfly.

Black Butterfly:

1. “Rescue Me”
2. “Tired of You”
3. “Too Drunk…”
4. “Dreams”
5. “Talk to Me”
6. “A Child Called “It””
7. “Don’t Go Away”
8. “Fallout”
9. “Rose”
10. “All of Me”
11. “Imminent Bail Out”
12. “Cream”
