After a long wait is now at last the new CD of the band Sixx A: M appeared (at least in the US) and I can not ever directly anticipate; This album is great class. Once again, there have managed to bring a melodic and contemporary rock album on the market, the three musicians Nikki Sixx, DJ Ashba and James Michael. Already the debut, which was meant only as a crossover project to Nikki Sixx's book "The Heroin Diaries" could have a hit after another. But the new work "This is Gonna Hurt" is the whole again to the crown. It surpasses the first-order lengths. Hardly a song that does not ignite immediately and can tear the listener into his spell. It's almost amazing how well prepared this album sounds from front to back. Not only the rock songs remain Thanks to the many hooks are directly in the ear, no also sporadically emerging ballads have a catchy tune factor first order. Of particular note here is the last track, entitled "Skin". A wonderful piano ballad that could have been not at all expected in this work. At the same time it is also the perfect ending to this album, because it begins with fast rock songs, and is rounded off with a quiet ballad on the piano and completed simultaneously. This album leads a by the great art of music, because every song itself is unique. The opener This Is Gonna Hurt is a cut right around the ears while it then with the third song is a little quieter. But after that you go directly with a bang on. Prominent here is the song "Sure Feels Right" that drives the listener into a certain flow and loose slightly right hinläuft without get on your nerves. However, anyone who has enough of quiet melodies hereafter, gets back timbered directly a couple of harder sounds to the ears to the next song. One notices on this album, which worked together three experienced and really exceptionally good musicians here and not marked "Is all right" to settle. These guys want to deliver the best possible result and from personal experience I can say now .... Calling all rock fans out there who are on the beautiful rocky, but also from time to quiet alternative style "THIS IS YOU succeeded!": BUY THIS ALBUM! It's worth the money.
