Buckcherry are back with their third album and one that has been selling very nicely in the US, driven partly by the hit single 'Crazy Bitch' and accompanying video of err ladies in various states of undress.

Buckcherry are best at no frills rock 'n' roll - simple guitar riffs, catchy choruses and solid rhythm. In fact on songs like 'Next 2 You' and 'Out Of Line' they sound not unlike AC/DC.

The single 'Crazy Bitch' is made for airplay, albeit with the f words beeped out! 'So Far' could be another hit in the making and features some brutal guitar riffs, whilst 'Carousel' has to be one of their catchiest tunes to date, with more neat guitar riffing. They do a very good 'lighters in the air' ballad with 'Sorry' which steers away from being to cheesy.

Who needs tired old Guns 'n' Roses when you have Buckcherry who still have a beating rock 'n' roll heart. A must have for any collection.
