Time Bomb

Time Bomb is the second album on which BUCKCHERRY aimed for tighter, more urban hooks while keeping their rough rock ’n’ roll feel. Josh Todd’s hoarse singing and street-flavored riffs pull the songs strongly. In the wake of the debut’s success, the band steps into a more aggressive, provocative expression. On “Frontside,” “Ridin',” “Time Bomb” and “Porno Star,” punk-like speed and glam-rock-derived sensuality mix. Songs like “Place in the Sun,” “Slit My Wrists” and “Slammin'” breathe the band’s raw energy too. It is a record for enjoying the collision of riffs and voice over any flashy ornament. But after this record, the band faced a breakup crisis for a time. Vividly carving the momentum of early BUCKCHERRY, it is a powerful record.
