I really liked the first BoD CD. So, I was excited to buy this one when it came out. Now that I have it, all I can say is: Anyone who ever questioned Nikki Sixx's songwriting ability...just listen to this CD. His absence is GLARING!!! There are NO stand out songs on this CD. Every song just drags along with no hook or melody or ANYTHING you can hang your hat on. I've never been more disappointed in a sophomore release. All four guys need to move on now....the Brides have Destructed!
