 Guns 'n' Roses for a new generation?? Jul 23, 2010
Buckcherry released their self-titled debut record in 1999. With the massive popularity of bands like Limp Bizkit and Korn, it's simply amazing these guys even got a record deal. Buckcherry were the antithesis of the "New-Metal" genre, they emulated bands like Guns 'n' Roses, Motley Crue, and Skid Row far more than Cyprus Hill and Red Hot Chili Peppers. When I first heard these guys in 99, I thought to myself, really?? They still have rock bands like this around.
Buckcherry's debut is nothing short of perfect, the album incorporates all things that made the Sunset-Strip shine during the late 80s/early 90's. It's hard to pick the best songs from this release, due to the fact that almost every song is great, but here it goes. My favorite tracks are, Lit Up,(sorry to disappoint if you expected something else) Dead Again, For The Movies, Crushed, and Check Your Head. Like I said previously, you won't go wrong with any selection.
If your a rock 'n' roll fan and have never heard Buckcherry, your sorely missing something awesome. Between Josh Todd's raspy vocals, and Keith Nelson's hard-hitting riffs, this album is a winner, and should be added to your collection!!
Buckcherry Apr 22, 2010
This cd came at the right time back in 1999. After suffering through all the alternative '90s music it was great to have some rock n roll again. 11 years later it still sounds great and refreshing. "Lit Up" is just a classic song and great to hear live also. A great mixture of fast songs with a few slower ones thrown in there, great lead singer. Just a pure rock album with attitude that can be listened to from start to finish.

One of the BEST rock and roll debuts of All Time !! Apr 15, 2010
Bottom line, this is an incredible debut... rock and roll swagger galore... many many solid classic, solid production, and attitude to spare... these guys were the real deal when the exploded on to the LA scene during 1990's - get ths now !!

A real rocker Apr 11, 2009
The first time I heard "Lit Up" I knew I was buying this album. And after listening to it over and over again I had a new favorite band. To me Buckcherry is what Rock n Roll should be. They have the charismatic front man who knows how to sing and yell in key. They have a guitarist who knows a rock songs not about how many notes you play but the way you play them. They also have great songs and aren't afraid to say whatever they feel like saying.
This band with this album should have been huge. HUGE! One reason that didn't happen was they didn't fit into any radio format. The classic rock stations wouldn't play them because they were new(not old and boring), and the alternative stations wouldn't play them because they rocked too much. Another reason that didn't happen is their record label went belly up after they released their second album.
But no matter, I was hooked. There are so many good songs on here. The album kicks off with "Lit Up", which you don't have to be high on coke too appreciate. Next is "Crushed" which is probably my favorite song. Just a take no prisoners rock romp. After that is "Dead again", which along with "Dirty Mind" are the two fastest songs. "Check your head" starts slow and builds as it goes, dealing with teenage suicide and drug overdose. A great tune.
"For the Movies" is about breaking up and moving on. "Lawless and Lulu" is another favorite of mine and will make you want to get up and dance..."crazy about your love." Lawless is followed by "Related" which, if you were already dancing you will continue to do so. "Borderline" is the slowest song on the album. The "let me see your lighters" song as the crowd sways back and forth. "Get Back" is Rock n Roll perfection.
If I had to pick a least favorite song it would be "Baby". It's not terrible, but it's not great. The last song is "Drink the Water". Like "Lit Up" it's about drugs but not as celebratory. It has some nice slide guitar playing and is a good way to end the album.
If you are looking for a hard rocking album with great songs and attitude then look no further.
