From the get-go of
"Lit Up" right on through to
"Drink the Water," Buckcherry doesn't let up on their self-titled disc -- it's like a blast of fresh air clearing out a stale room.
Buckcherry returns to the raucous edge of
rock while avoiding the pitfalls of veering headlong into
metal land. Melodic and concise, these guys keep your attention much like
Guns N' Roses did on their first disc. Helped out by
Terry Date and ex-
Sex Pistol Steve Jones in the production department,
Buckcherry is quite a stunning debut. (And say, could
Buckcherry be an anagram for that pioneer of
rock & roll Chuck Berry?)
