Wow..............I certainly wasn't expecting this. It's admirable they're taking a risk with this, but I doubt it will translate to radio success. It's too epic, and I also happen to think it's the least radio friendly sounding track on the album. If they are depending on more heavy airplay, "Recovery" or "It's A Party" are their best bets here, while "I Want You" is their best bet at renewed Hot AC airplay. But, other than "Our World", overall I simply don't think this will work, as enjoyable as this album track is. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

Disagree. This song flows like The Pretender. I swear I can even hear Grohl in the bridge. Not sure there's any risk for Buckcherry at this point.

Other than releasing "Our World", I can agree with that! ;) I was stating my opinion more along the lines of what would most likely garner them radio success. I do stand by my impression that "Dead" is the least likely of the non-ballad album tracks to make a significant dent on their core format. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

What? A Buckcherry song described as "too epic?" My curiosity has gotten the best of me! *listens, open to the possibility that this could be the first Buckcherry song I like* Ahh, I actually remember this from my ratethemusic special survey for their next single. I remember rating all the other choices either a 1/5 or a 2/5, and this was the one exception that I gave a 3/5. So no, I don't like it, but considering I've heard half the album, there's a decent chance that this is my favorite song off it.

Love it or hate it, I've always thought "Crazy B****" is about as epic-feeling as songs under four minutes in duration come. As with "Dead", it is the longest track Buckcherry have recorded to date, at about five minutes and thirty seconds. It features not one, but two, guitar solos before the final chorus (sandwiched by Todd's distorted vocals in-between) and, to top it all off, a third guitar solo leading into the kind of outro that would be perfect for closing a concert set with. As far as Buckcherry album tracks are concerned, this IS as epic as they've ever gotten to date. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I'm amused by the fact that they had a quasi-single off their debut album called "Dead Again," and now, 11 years later, we get the prequel!
