Godsmack's debut LP, which delivered 12 solid tracks for the post-grunge world. Vocalist Sully Erna channeled the haunting, harmonic Layne Staley to deliver an experience that would fill the gap left in Alice In Chains' absence, albeit with less truly introspective lyrics. The album was also held back by the track 'Get Up, Get Out!', which appeared to plagiarize the verse segments from AIC's 'I Know Somethin (Bout You)'. Overall, while Godsmack's self-titled album scratches the itch, a bad taste lingers in the mouth once it's over. 7/10.
