Good Times, Bad Times: 10 Years of Godsmack in Bloomington, MN

With the exception of a lackluster remake of
Led Zeppelin
's
"Good Times Bad Times,"
Godsmack
's album of the same name is a solid compilation of their biggest songs. Considering that the face of music changed quite a bit since their debut in 1997, it's easy to forget what titans of
alt rock
radio they were in their heyday. Not counting the aforementioned cover song, every one of the tracks on
Good Times, Bad Times
cracked the
Billboard
Mainstream Record Charts, most notably the record-breaking,
Alice in Chains
influenced
"Whatever,"
which lingered at number seven on
for a stupefying 33 straight weeks. Also included are
"Speak,"
"Straight Out of Line,"
and
"I Stand Alone"
(all number ones) alongside
"Running Blind"
"Touche,"
from their all-acoustic EP,
The Other Side
. If you crave
and you prefer the hits, this one's for you. The bonus DVD includes a 75-minute performance of the band playing an acoustic set at the
Hard Rock Hotel
in Las Vegas. [
was also released in a clean version, with all profanity removed.] ~ Jason Lymangrover
