Customer Reviews

Not as good as 15 but............
When I first listened to "Black Butterfly" I was completely disappointed. I thought "15" was an awesome record, and was hoping Buckcherry would push the envelope further to finally create a hard rock disc that would become the pinnacle of their career. To me, "Black Butterfly" plays it safe, and seemingly follows a similar pattern as "15". It left me a little disappointed, but I kept playing it, and you know what..... "Black Butterfly" has grown on me quite a bit since its release date. While it doesn't have the same impact on me as "15" did, it is still a good album, and one the band can be proud of.

The ought to have several hit singles as the following songs are highly listenable: "Rescue Me", "Too Drunk", "Tired of You", "Rose", "A Child Called It" and the sorry like "Don't Go Away". I can see most of these becoming new fan favorites.

The Bottom line: Give Black Butterfly a chance. It will grow on you. Recommended Listening!!

Buckcherry does it again!
Black Butterfly is a great album full of excellent music and has more ballads than 15's one, "Sorry". Although the first single "Too Drunk" doesn't represent the rest of Black Butterfly, they haven't lost their edge. Serious fans of Buckcherry's sex and drug lyrics might have a hard time swallowing the sensitive tracks on Black Butterfly. As a fan of both rock ballads and edgy tunes, I really enjoyed the mix.

"Dreams" - sensitive love ballad. "I wanna be in your dreams"
"Don't Go Away" - trying to hang on to someone leaving you. "Please don't go away. You're making a mistake. You and I were meant to be."
"Rose" - reminscing of early love. "You're pretty as a Rose; I can't live without you."
"All of Me" - The most pleasantly unique sounding track. "Made me realize that you would take all of me. Please take all of me."

Another great album for when you're looking to rock out!

Black Butterfly - 12 Tracks
So Far this one after a few listens has settled into my 3rd favorite Buckcherry studio album. I do know I like it quite a bit better than their last studio release "15".

This is a very solid blues based hard rock album, although not perfect by any means; it remains an important step in Buckcherry's evolution, some may argue it's just rock 'n roll, and all they sing about it sex and drugs....partying, but hardcore fans of the band know this is not the case. You listen to this CD along with say ...the Backyard Babies latest release (2008 S/T), and you've got 2 solid hard rocking albums that seem to further enhance the genre. I do like the Babies newest release a little better than this one, but they are very good sounding/feeling albums to come out this year.

It starts out with another lead track that is a rocker in "Rescue Me", this one is a solid song and set's the tone for the CD as so many other lead tracks have done on all 3 or their other releases.

Nice guitar work on the album overall, nice fills, some solo's which are used in an abbreviated fashion at times, but nonetheless used wisely with the flow of each song. A slightly heavier feel on this one over "15" at times, and to be honest that is exactly what I was hoping, although there are a few songs that drag the momentum down too far for me. Really though for some reason I just don't think they've hit the peak of their music yet, on this one they get close in many places though...and that is a good sign, they are expanding and growing a bit, but still of course rolling down that sleazy part of town where the weekend is all that matters and having a good time.

"A Child Called 'it'", "Imminent Bail Out", and "Fallout" are my 3 favorite tracks on here after a few listens, and I would consider them some of the best stuff they have recorded. To give an idea of how many good songs I hear here the song "Too Drunk" is about in the middle of my favs. "Rose" followed by "Imminent Bailout" sound great. "Cream" is another song I would define as expanding their horizons a bit, pretty unique song for the band, it starts out like another ballad, but once the drums kick in it's kinda like ...'where is this song going now?'....and it works pretty well. "Talk To Me" and "Dreams" are decent songs on here also that work well mixed in with the others.

Unfortunately there is a few low spots IMO on here, most notably what I now refer to as Brooklyn II in a song called "All Of Me" which has sunk to the bottom of my all time favs list along with the boring and familar going through the motions of a song called "Don't Go Away" which is I believe may be the second single and with a video and all, to me that song is very dull.


Favs in order
1. A Child Called "it"
2. Imminent Bail Out
3. Fallout
4. Rose
5. Rescue Me
6. Cream
7. Too Drunk
8. Tired Of You
9. Talk To Me
10. Dreams
11. Don't Go Away
12. All Of Me

I also recommend picking up the Fan Club edition with two bonus song on it. I would rate the song "Nothing" on that one higher than "All Of Me" and "Don't Go Away" on this one...maybe even over "Dreams" as well?
