The tattoo-laden rocker is well qualified for such narratives. Through hard-hitting guitar, trenchant vocals and sleazy lyrics, he gives depravity a sonic correlative, presenting various forms of vice as a kind of musical slideshow. Opener \u201cGluttony\u201d sets the template, prefacing an album of gritty and engaging anthems to excess, and as Todd sings of a \u201cdesire that will never change,\u201d it\u2019s clear he won\u2019t go square anytime soon. Though Buckcherry epitomizes thrill-seeking hard rock, there\u2019s a hint of tragedy in Todd\u2019s infectiously rugged voice. On such tracks as \u201cWrath,\u201d the vocals convey a mood more heartfelt than hedonistic. The tempo slows down for \u201cThe Truth\u201d and \u201cDreamin\u2019 of You,\u201d which feature melodies reminiscent of the best \u201990s alt-rock. Now that Todd has confessed, one hopes he plunges back into debauchery\u2014then heads for the studio. \u2013Ray Cavanaugh<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BUCKCHERRY\u00a0 Confessions [Century Media] On Buckcherry\u2019s sixth album, frontman Josh Todd reveals\u2014but doesn\u2019t necessarily repent for\u2014his forays into the seven deadly sins.
