I quite like Zakk´s Sonic Brew -- "Bored to Tears" is just so crushingly heavy, and then there´s a bit of acoustic stuff on there too. All, the stuff Zakk´s good at, though I think he´s been running out of ideas since the early BLS albums. The last few have been all right, some decent stuff, but it´s all a bit same-y and predictable. I think Zakk needs a strong writing partner. He´s very dominant in the "group" (such as it is) but just can´t do it all by himself for ever.
On a different note -- I´m actually writing from Bogota, Colombia at the moment, down here unexpectedly due too an emergency in my wife´s family. Haven´t had too much chance to do too much fun, but I did get along to a record release party of a kinda Latin pop/rock artist called Galeano whom I vaguely know (via the the internet until the launch the other night). Good fun -- and very very differnt from BLS. ;) Guess he´d picked up a sponsorship from Fender, since his band was all kitted out with very fresh looking Fender gear ....
