Amazon.com's Best of 2001
If you liked this bunch's self-titled debut, you will certainly dig the dozen raunchy tunes that populate Time Bomb. Wiry, wild Joshua Todd--a classic blues-belting, tattoo-bearing frontman--possesses a gift for irony that, while not easily gleaned, does exist. Behind him, guitars grind away, while big production by John Travis (Monster Magnet, Sugar Ray) helps create a believable street-grit feel that recalls early Guns N' Roses. The Sex Pistols-like "Place in the Sun" is a winner, as is the full-tilt "Frontside" and the suitably nasty "Porno Star." There are even a couple decent ballads! At its hard core, Time Bomb is that rare breed--an in-your-face, aggressive rock album that shows off a wonderful (and too rare) punk rock sensibility. --Katherine Turman

 a lot of fun October 2, 2001

So, where has rock like this been all my life. Buckcherry, Time Bomb. A refreshing album, an album that is simply a lot of fun. With the exception of a few ballads, which are good in their own right, Buckcherry rocks out for the entire album without stopping. I mean it's just endless, straight-ahead, driving rock. There are no synthesizers, no machines, no stupid records being scratched, and no rap-metal, borderline, does not know which way to go [music]. Just rock from start to finish. The drums are pounding, the riffs are loud and endless, and yes lead singer Josh Todd does scream the whole time, but that is what makes this album so great and what makes Buckcherry- well Buckcherry. The band is at its best when it's totally rocking out. It's just rock. Think Chuck Berry. And maybe that's where Buckcherry got their name. Wouldn't surprise me. The whole album is excellent. On this album, screaming is very good. It's always there for me when I just need to let loose and have fun. Sure, the lyrics are not profound, but I doubt they were meant to be, and with songs that sound so good, they don't have to be. That's not what Buckcherry is all about. So, for once, let go of your anger and fear and sadness, and have fun with Time Bomb. We all need to do that sometimes. It's theraputic.

Buckcherry returns from a Gold debut to a vastly superior cd. It is perverse, sleazy, erotic, smart, dirty, hook-laden, big chorussy, violent, romantic, party anthems, introspective. What more can you ask for?The songs are either fast and dirty or slow and beautiful. The lyrics run from suicidal to lovey-dovey. The hidden track will make you cry and "PORNO STAR" will make you .....! "Whiskey in the Morning" is brilliant and 'A Place In The Sun" is moving, trying and creepy. All in all a tight record you can play at a party...alone..or with that "special someone" (read PORNO STAR description). Brilliant and a welcome change to mopey alt rap rock. Thank God for BUCKCHERRY!!
Timebomb blasts away the crap May 3, 2001

I have been very disgruntled lately, my problem--there is no new rock bands that actually have fun. I miss this. I look at the current rock scene and it is just full of spears and syncs, and i just keep praying that they go away, but my prayers are ignored.Then I bought Timebomb-the new release by Buckcherry, and let me say it is amazing. Todd and co. had me doing something i haven't done since 1995 and that is headthrashing. I actually had fun listening to music again. The album isn't just fun, it has well written lyrics and music. put simply the album just rocks, literally. There is at least 9 incredible songs, on a cd of 12, in the past five years that is an amazing feet. (And don't get me wrong the other 3 still rock.) The best songs are: frontside ridin porno star place in the sun helpless underneath slit my wrists you fall and the awesome hidden track... This is a definate must have for any music lover who misses rock when it was rock.

You should get the album just for "Porno Star" It's so nice to hear some hard rock again for a change. If you are one of the people getting tired of depressed "modern hardrock" like 'A music fan from FL' preferred, then Buckcherry is very refreshing. And, in response to his rant about "at least [Britney and the Backstreet Boys] don't scream at you for the entire song," he obviously didn't listen to the entire CD. If you gave this CD to people who listen to true hardcore-metal fans, they'll think you're joking by calling the vocals "screaming." There are 3 really good ballads on the album where there is no "screaming": "Helpless," "Without You," & "Open My Eyes" (Bonus Track). If you are one of the people who don't like loud, aggressive and dirty vocals, then you probably won't enjoy this album. But it's perfect for those who do. This is a fun album if you want to rock.

Buckcherry's self titled debut album was a nice reminder of what rock and roll should sound like: no whining lyrics, rap rockers, or downtuned guitars. "Time Bomb" continues this trend, and finds the band honing their skills. Standout tracks include the rip roarer single "Ridin'", the nasty "Porno Star", "Slit My Wrists", "Place in the Sun", "Whiskey in the Morning", and the hard rocking title track. Now more than ever Buckcherry is displaying the fusion of classic hard rock with punk energy that is so desperately needed in the hard rock world today, and if their debut album and "Time Bomb" are of any indication, the best is hopefully yet to come from this promising band.
