If the eighth album from Godsmack is, as vocalist
      Sully Erna suggests, the band’s last, then the
      Boston quartet picked a heck of a way to go out.
      While the band isn’t retiring, Erna has said it’s
      permanently leaving the studio to do more things the
      members have wanted to do for a long time, while the
      band is happy with the hits it already has at shows.
      While the merits of the decision can be debated, the
      band delivers on a powerful swan song on Lighting Up
      the Sky, if indeed it turns out to the end of the
      line for new recordings.

Over nearly three decades, Godsmack has built its
      reputation on a core sound. Akin to contemporaries
      like Disturbed or Nickelback, the hard rockers have
      thrived on riff-heavy machismo anthems. While
      Lighting Up the Sky isn’t a dramatic departure from
      that blueprint, the album presents it in a different
      way. For starters, the record has a much more
      organic sound. The guitars are raw and biting, the
      drumming powerful but spacious and the bass playing
      warms the rhythm section. It sounds like a musicians
      playing together.

With most of the tracks clocking in upward of four
      or five minutes, the record also gives space for the
      musicians to flex their muscles. Case in point, the
      bluesy hard rock swagger of opener “You and I” is
      built around a heavy riff, but guitarist Tony
      Rombola gets ample time to deliver a compelling and
      lyrical solo.

“Red, White, and Blue” is maybe the most Godsmack-
      sounding track on the record, built on American
      bravado and a fighting spirit.

“I stand in the trenches/ Side by side for the free/
      Snd I’ll fight for you/ Just don’t you tread on me,”
      Erna growls.

On the other hand, single “Surrender”absolutely
      soars, maybe the band’s best lead release in years.
      Mixing a classic rock sensibility with jumpy
      urgency, Erna tops it off with a cutting, aggressive
      vocal that explodes when the song moves into its
      melodic and fist-pumping chorus. The dynamic “What
      About Me” keeps up the pace, building from a whisper
      to a scream.

“What if I never loved?/ What if I stayed the same?/
      What am I worth if I can make that change?” Erna
      asks.

Lighting Up the Sky is a concept album of sorts,
      documenting a journey through a variety of
      interpersonal relationships, from love and loss to
      politics.

For as much as Godsmack is known for heaviness, the
      band’s ballads may be just as impressive. The first
      of the album arrives with “Truth,” a piano-driven
      tale of heartbreak and betrayal. The chorus mixes
      Alice-in-Chains-like harmonies with a heavy dose of
      strings and other orchestral touches. Rombola’s solo
      is triumphant, elevating it to another level, before
      Erna carries it home with a tight vocal.

“Hell’s Not Dead” manages to toe the line between
      the authentic Godsmack sound and the album’s classic
      rock aesthetic. Rombola shines again with a
      blistering bluesy solo that does everything right.
      “Soul On Fire” has a punk/thrash drive and
      infectious melody. “Let’s Go!” digs even deeper into
      a sound that mixes blues rock with Black Sabbath.
      The track jumps back and forth between half speed
      and regular tempo, Erna belting aggressively.

The anthemic “Best Of Times” is a thank you card of
      sorts to fans and anyone else that’s helped the band
      along the way. Enra offers thanks for the patience
      and an apology for his behavior in the early days,
      when he wasn’t easy to work with. “Growing Old” is
      Erna’s shining moment on the album. The song flies
      high with some of his most compelling vocals on the
      record. The song builds on piano early on but grows
      to fill a massive soundscape.

Godsmack then closes things out with a jumping title
      track, Erna even mixing in lyrics from some of the
      band’s past hits like “Stay Away” and “Voodoo” as
      the album fades. Will this be the last new material
      we hear from Godsmack? Only time will tell, but for
      now there’s plenty for fans to gravitate toward on
      this (potentially) final relrease.
