    Mixes arena rock in the vein of an Alice in Chains with the aggression of Pantera.

    Unflinchingly heavy, this midtempo metal won't disappoint believers. [June 2003, p.101]

    Rages and riffs with epic drama.

    Mostly it's the same staccato riffing, constipated vocals, and generic, rage-against-the-kidney-stone angst. [11 Apr 2003, p.78]

    Whatever novelty their sound once had has long since worn off, and the foreboding poetry and constipated howl of Wiccan singer Sully Erna are almost laughable.

    At least Nickelback know how to write a tune. [Jul 2003, p.104]

    This is one of the best Godsmack albums created yet.I hate it when critics give good bands a bad review because I would like to see them This is one of the best Godsmack albums created yet.I hate it when critics give good bands a bad review because I would like to see them create their own album which most critics can't because they don't have the talent as most musicians.I hate it when people think Godsmack is an Alice In Chains rip-off because they are really nothing alike.Just because Godsmack got their name from the Alice In Chains song God Smack.And for the guy who said his balls dropped and learned that Godsmack sucked...go listen to your Lil' Wayne cause he sucks way more than Godsmack.… Collapse

    Godsmack is one of the best heavy metal acts around, and 'Faceless' is one of the most enjoyable metal albums of the year. This is Godsmack is one of the best heavy metal acts around, and 'Faceless' is one of the most enjoyable metal albums of the year. This is the kind of album that you would purchase for the singles, however, because of the lack of variations in the songs. Godsmack still rocks and 'Serenity' is a nice departure from the norm (although it's also a throwback to the ultimately better song, 'Voodoo' from their self-titled debut). Nothing on the CD is quite as potent as 'Whatever' or 'Alive', but it still sounds awesome, especially for fans of the group. A small sidenote: with the exception of the track, 'I F*cking Hate You', there is very little profanity on the record.… Expand
