Track Listing

Product Description

This Deluxe Edition includes a 30 minute Bonus DVD that contains two bonus tracks including "Whiskey Hangover".

The upcoming album arrives as the most anticipated 2010 rock release, so far. The debut single from the 11 song disc, "Cryin' Like A Bitch," is already blowing the doors off rock radio and the digital domain, furthering the Boston Band's record-breaking streak at the coveted Active Rock format. The punishing anthem, which debuted a mere three weeks ago as the most added new Active Rock single of the year, has already blazed to the Top 5 tier of the chart. "Cryin' Like A Bitch" is the 15th Top Five hit for the group, more than franchise artists such as Linkin Park, Foo Fighters, and others. It also marks Godsmack's record-breaking 18th Top 10 single of their career, extending their dominance as creators of the most Top 10 hits in Active rock history. Produced by Dave Fortman, who has worked with Mudvayne, Evanescence, and Simple Plan, among others, The Oracle is another lyrical and musical touchstone for the four member band. The new album revels in Godsmack's scorching underpinnings, served up via frontman Sully Erna's monster-vocals on the scathing new single, "Cryin' Like A Bitch," and other songs, including "Saints And Sinners," "War And Peace," "Devil's Swing," and "Good Day To Die." The Oracle is the band's first studio album since 2006's Godsmack IV, another platinum-plus trailblazer for the group, debuting at #1 on the Billboard Top albums chart (their 2nd #1 debut following 2003's Faceless) and harking back to the signature sound of multiplatinum masterpieces like their 5 million selling breakthrough debut album and 2000's AwakeConsidered one of the definitive alternative hard rock bands in contemporary music, The band's 12 year legacy - guided by fearless founder and frontman Sully Erna, includes nearly 15 million albums sold - highlighted by scores of sold-out international concerts, countless successful tours, a remarkable 18 hit singles, 4 platinum records, 1 gold EP and three Grammy nominations.

For my review i chose God Smack. I liked there top album "The Oracle" The song i favored the most on the album was the song Saints and Sinners i believe it was the second track on the album i favored the song for the lyrics rather then the beat.

This being their first album in 4 years, I am glad to see that Godsmack is still rocking hard. I think this is one of their best albums and every song is worth listening to multiple times.

This album is great but Godsmack is an awesome band. They never fail to disappoint. "Cryin like a bitch" is one of the best songs I have heard from them. This album is definitely worth listening to.

This album is great. The track "Cryin' Like A Bitch" convinced me the most to join the Navy. However, all the other tracks had that same vibe. I think that song also sums up the attitude of the band and the lead singer. Overall, this song is great if you are a meat head and enjoy songs that sound the same and feature weird grunting noises.

A couple of days ago,I was thinking it was about time Godsmack came out with some new music,and here it is. The tracks in this album are refreshingly creative, and yet also have the characteristic Godsmack sound and aggression. The lyrics to the songs are insights and reflections that are creatively expressed and mirrored by the singer's astounding voice. The strongest,catchiest songs here are Love-Hate-Sex-Pain and Good Day To Die. All the songs have their strength though, and it may take a few times to listen and you'll find that this album is one of the band's greatest efforts.

Not usually my style of music, but I purchased it for my boyfriend and found myself listening to it with him, and I love it! Glad to have been exposed to a new genre!

AWESOME CD. most metal bands die out toward the end of their careers, but not Godsmack. They always keep it heavy with top tokin lyrics. Cryin' like a bitch is overplayed way too much on the radio, but it is still a kick ass song. The Oracle was also one of my favorites. A great way to end the cd.
