They have a new album called Black Butterfly coming out this Tuesday. I was completely unaware of this until I looked in the Sunday ads today. I haven't heard any singles from it yet either, which is why it caught me by surprise.

So are there any reviews of this? I'm not sure if I should pick it up immediately or wait. The sale is $9.99 at most stores and will probably go up next week.

Buy it. I am buying it blind as well. They haven't done a bad album yet and I am not worried. It likely won't dip below $10 bucks for a while.

Great song! The only one I've heard at this point.

Looking around I just found two more songs off the album. Both sound pretty good.

Rescue Me

Geofferson

I wasn't a huge fan of their last album (Fifteen) or the first single on the new album. However, I am a loyal fan and will still pick it up.

DRG

Too Drunk is just okay to me, but I love Rescue Me. I wasn't sure what I thought about the album on my first go-through but it grows on me each time I listen to it. I'm not sure if any of the songs will have the same crossover appeal as Crazy Bitch/Sorry did, though.

EvlAsh

Anyone know if the album is available in a jewel case or is the cardboard package the only option?

erlong

It's the cardboard digipak only for both the regular and fan-club (has 2 extra tracks, both demos: Nothing and Stayin' High) editions. The fan club edition has red artist/album title lettering and the regular edition has yellow, I believe.
BTW, I am lovin' this album...alot! Best album since their 1st.

DVD Josh

Josh Todd's solo record isn't that bad either.

EvlAsh

Just heard on Eddie Trunk's SIRIUS-XM show that the lead track, "Too Drunk," was replaced on the re-issue of Black Butterfly. The new track taking its place is a cover of Deep Purple's "Highway Star."

DRG

I saw this as well. What a strange choice. I can understand adding a bonus track to boost sales, but why excise an existing track? Especially one that was the leadoff single, the highest charting track from the album, and a staple of many live shows. The original album clocked in under 45 minutes, so it's not a space issue.

I think its more like... we want to sell out album at Walmart

DRG

A good point. 'Too Drunk' sounds pretty goofy in its edited form and it's the only one on the CD I remember as being excessively profane.

sergtv

if anybodys interested live and loud is on sale at best buy this week for $6.99.. no signs were up but thats what it rang up.. not bad 15 tracks.

I saw them live with avenged sevendfold and they played too drunk.. its missing on the live cd.. whats up with that? so you could have crazy bitch but not too drunk? not a big deal.. its buckcherry and its live! you can't go wrong for that price.

EvlAsh

Thanks for the heads up on the live album.

By the way, Buckcherry is joining the KISS Alive 35 tour in November.
