Godsmack equals massively driven rock music that really sets your body in motion and your emotions on fire. It's heavy and has an immensely captivating groove. The band is able to push the songs forward without putting too much detail into them and I believe that they keep the flame alive and burning during the major share of this album. It's pretty much a salute to attacking and barging rock music and it makes you wanna stay put in front of your audio system and just breathe in what's coming out of the speakers.
The record's song material isn't specifically varied and it's undeniably not a record filled with diversity in its totality, as far as I'm concerned. This is nothing that however bothers me the least, because most of the record is really arresting, energetic and rocking and I absolutely find myself nailed to the music during this accurate punch in the face-attitude record. Sully Erna's empathic and outspoken vocals are utterly still a force to be reckoned with and I think that his performance comes out as a powerful injection on top of the heavy appearance.
I consider this to be one of the greatest Godsmack albums to this very day. Most of the past work also have somewhat of an impact, but is not downright striking to the same extent as this new release is and it doesn't possess the same amount of killing material. 1000HP indeed has a larger number of songs in the list that could be named awesome and attractive. I realize that a lot of people will strongly disagree with that point of view, but I'll still be handing out 8 chalices to what I believe is a great record.
