#sully erna

I’ve been crushing on him for so long that sometimes I forget just how much I like him.

I kinda want to write a fanfic…

Godsmack - S/T

When I say I like certain albums or bands, I like them for different reasons, or I like them for one main reason. There are bands that I like for their vocalists, because the vocals are the best part of those bands / artists. There are artists whose lyrics I really like, even if everything else is either just good or okay. What I wanted to focus on today is when I like a band’s sound over anything else, and I have a good example of that right off the bat — Godsmack. I’ve never talked about these guys, nor have I ever listened to them, but I’ve gotten curious to check them out through seeing their 1998 debut album at Walmart, so I decided to finally check it out. It was cheap, so why not, right? I’ve heard they’re pretty good, especially this album, but I didn’t know much about them, other than that their debut is a seminal record within alt-metal, nu-metal, and hard-rock of the era.

After listening to the record a few times, I’m of the mind that I like this album a good bit, but mainly for their sound. I don’t really care for Sully Erna as a vocalist, and that’s not to say he sucks, but it’s to say that he isn’t interesting. His vocals don’t quite fall flat, but he sounds like a poor man’s Scott Stapp of Creed (I’ve got some Creed to talk about soon, too, and I can’t wait to do that). He has that gravely voice, but he just doesn’t do anything with it. He sounds the same on each song, and it just feels boring, but I don’t dislike it. There are some really cool riffs, solos, and moments on the album that make me engaged with it, but the vocals and lyrics don’t do much for me. I like listening to them, but I get more from the sound than any of the vocals or lyrics.
