Whereas the lead singles from "No Rest for the Wicked" did not catch your immediate attention, the ones from this release did---and as a result this one sold a lot better. At the same time, guitarist Zakk Wylde continues his musical and songwriting growth, which shows on numerous tracks.
The slow and atmospheric "Mama, I'm Coming Home" did a large part of the commercial paving, though lead single "No More Tears" was admirable towards that cause as well. Wylde continues to tear it up, albeit not as non-stop as three years ago.
Other highlights include the super-charged "Mr. Tinkertrain," "I Don't Want to Change the World," "S.I.N.," and the strong semi-ballad "Road to Nowhere".
HOT CHOPS: The opening bass line to the title song has become one of the few automatically-known "riffs" that doesn't come from a guitar. Cool stuff.
