"Shot to Hell" gets a negative review on much of the internet, but i don't see why. This is one of the most diverse albums that Zakk Wylde has released. It has some really heavy numbers with some of his best riffs like "Faith is Blind" and the single "Concrete Jungle". On the other hand, there's the melodic and more laid back songs like "Blood is Thicker than Water" and "Lead Me to your Door". The song "New Religion" exemplifies to me this album as a whole. It starts very mellow and hypnotizing with string-type keyboards, then transforms into a riff heavy metal classic. This is sort of the general feel of the album. Very hard hitting at times with crunchy riffs, but also lots of piano and keyboard type ballads. A must for any Black Label Society fan, in my opinion 8/10.

Zakk Wylde has done it again with his dynamic outstand riffs that don't stop. This CD will blow you away and anyone who says rock is dead needs to listen the Black Label Society to know that its still alive and well. Thank You Zakk for cranking out another great CD! Sincerely, zivdog-7

I personally think Zakk is the greatest guitarist alive today, and he always has guys backing him up who do their job well, so the music here is not the issue. If you love BLS, you'll love this album, because it's not very different from their other releases. That's where my only problem with this (& others) comes into play- the lyrics, the riffs, even some of the solos, seem recycled for the umpteenth time. Great CD, but don't expect anything ground-breaking from the world's current #1.
Fantastic
