    So judge not, indie rockers and other self-satisfied musical tribes: any way you slice it, the aging rock audience is hungry and, flawed as they may be, Chickenfoot are just the guys to feed them.

    III is probably a slight improvement over the past effort in places where it counts--I just don't see enough people caring beyond passive curiosity in the long-term.

    Satriani, a Hendrix obsessive, is brilliant throughout. But above all, it's the quality of their songs that makes Chickenfoot more than just a rich rock star's hobby. [Jan 2012, p.100]

    The band plods more than pushes, and while the riffs stick, the songs generally don't.

    As the title suggests, Chickenfoot III is stupid like a fox, filling a VH-shaped void created by the inaction and endless drama of Hagar's former bandmates.

I love this album,it sounds like something i have been listing to for years . I think the band really improved from the first album ,they sound like old friends jamming together ,not four rock gods trying to make a band. The songs have real staying power . I am not great at putting my thoughts into written form ,but this album will make your foot tap and your butt shake !… Expand

    This is an album that captured me at once. Like I've been waiting for this sound all the time. It has the mild, melodic touch everywhere, likeThis is an album that captured me at once. Like I've been waiting for this sound all the time. It has the mild, melodic touch everywhere, like a lace table sheet put on a guitar. Sammy Hagar sings from his heart. Satch plays from his soul. Michael Anthony and Chad Smith kindly help flourish these emotions throughout their work. Besides, these guys love to rock and it's an amazing experience hearing them jam together. Wish they had more financial success so that they could make the third and the fourth albums.… Expand
