As anticipated, Godsmack will debut at #1 with sales over 200,000. This will mark the 2nd time the band debuts atop the big chart. Taking Back Sunday hangs close at 2nd with just under 200,000 after debutin at #3 with their last effort. Springsteen is 3rd, making it the 2nd straight week rock acts have take the top 3 debuts.

I haven't heard Godsmack's new material, but good for them and others. Sell those musical frisbees. (CDs)

except that it isn't acoustic at all.

it's his most lively album since Born in the USA, and best since then too.

the surprise of 2006 for me so far.
