Review - :
{$Godsmack} may never garner the kind of praise that's bestowed upon its obvious influences ({$Metallica}, {$Alice in Chains}, {$Tool}), but the hard-working Boston quartet has managed to stay at the top of the {\alternative metal} heap for nearly eight years. {^IV}, produced by frontman {$Sully Erna}, doesn't stray too far from the formula, relying on big midtempo brooders and heavy, drop-D riffs to work in the usual themes of loneliness, betrayal, and the overuse of the word "bleeding." For the most part it's cliché done well -- the record opens with an audio collage of children saying their prayers before bed -- and the band can turn it up to 11 with the best of them. Stadium-sized cuts like {&"Speak,"} {&"Enemy,"} and {&"Temptation"} are sure to please the masses -- they even bring out the vocoder for {&"No Rest for the Wicked"} -- and fans brought into the fold with 2004's acoustic {^Other Side} EP will eat up the pensive, mandolin-led {&"Hallow,"} but there's little growth to be found, resulting in a textbook-executed slice of commercial aggression. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
