{"product_id":"iv-1","title":"Iv","description":"Amazon.com\n\nSix albums into its career, Godsmack finds itself faced with the challenge of moving forward without betraying its roots. Although the veteran act manages to offer up a handful of convincing tunes on this hour-long affair, IV fails to hang together as a cohesive and convincing album. The opening \"Living In Sin\" and its follow-up \"Speak\" rock with conviction although neither breaks new ground; \"The Enemy\"––a reasonably good approximation of a latter-day Metallica tune––proves persuasive while \"Shine Down\" and \"No Rest For The Wicked\" are radio-ready distractions. As good as those and a number of the other songs are IV never locks into any particular groove and ultimately amounts to little more than a batch of songs placed end-to-end on a disc that's roughly 20 minutes too long. By the record's final moments––the passionate but decidedly dated angst-filled dirge \"Mama,\" the meandering \"One Rainy Day\"––the listener grows weary of treading down an all-too-familiar path with a band that still has a promising future if only it could let go of its unyielding grip on its own past.--Jedd Beaudoin\n\nProduct description\n\nCD\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000EXOAAO\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000EXOAAO.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:GODSMACK\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
