    Buckcherry's overblown rock 'n' roll is exactly the kind of music that can be dressed up by production, almost (but not quite) giving the illusion that something exciting is happening when, in fact, its merely recycling the already recycled.

    Ridin', Porn Star and Slammin' are as disposably trashy as their titles suggest, and even the trowelled-on angst of Slit My Wrists and Whiskey In The Morning sounds like a pool party at a Beverley Hills bordello.

    Although a less consistent effort as a whole, Time Bomb is a lot more fun than its predecessor and suggests capacity for songcraft not evident on the band's debut. [#154, p.66]

BUCKCHERRY is BUCKCHERRY is the last band that still fully rocks w/o being emo. people try to say that bands now like MCR or Hinder are rock. BUCKCHERRY is rock, its meant to be mean, its meant to be ruthless and that is exactly what they are.
