They've released the Spanish song, I can't think of the title. And have been playing it live. Another stupid ass song about sex, drugs and rock n roll. Im giving up on this fucking band. We're never getting back the lyrics from their first two albums. Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Escku9zfnTw Also the first comment (which I've replied to) sums this up.

Fiesta Del Fuego is awful. Worse than White Trash Millionaire.

Hmmmm, the video that goes with the song is indeed a bit too much.

Lord what happened to these guys? I even thought there was pretty solid material on their 3rd album (even though it's not as good as their first two), but these new songs suck.

I don't know whether to blame the band or the label at this point.

Definitely some gash shit so far, but hopefully there's something good on the album. First two albums were class, 3rd had a handful of brilliant songs and the 4th isn't looking good. Everything just sounds watered down and the material is really shallow. I hope it's just those two songs because I really love this band and I listen to them a lot. Hell of a live show as well.

Yeah, think I'm done with these guys. We'll always have the first two albums at least.

Not sure, whether my musical taste has changed that much or this song is a piece of crap. I liked their first 2 records and a couple of songs from the 3rd one, but this one is going to be pretty bad, to say the least.

I actually liked the live version of the new song, but the studio version is dull, lifeless and limp. Black Stone Cherry are getting quite big in the UK, big enough to do an arena tour, so it would be a mighty shame if they bugger it up now. It is interesting though, the new song is getting a lot of hate, even on their Facebook page.

Still better than Mary Jane and about half of their third album.

i can confirm that it does get better,

Chris played me a song or two after the show in Wolverhampton last month & they sound amazing, i think they've just had a few bad choices. Like in my opinion, AB could of picked a better single to release rather than ATP.. but thats just my opinion, i agree Fiesta Del Fuego isn't THAT great, although it sounds meaty as fuck live..

Lets just hope the album's not as bad as the album cover, eh? :lol

Me & Mary Jane is different, but still decent. Fiesta Del Fuego has a sick finish, but I cringe every time I hear a lyric.

I liked the third album, too.

The band is now selling preorders which include a lighter. What a fucking joke.

I want to blame the producer because of how many of you are claiming the song sounds great live, but I can't. Joe Barresi has done some really great stuff.

Now this is a hell of a lot better, it's like a mix between their self-titled album and Folklore. Although I dislike the poppy drum sounds, and the guitar riffs could sound a lot better, the production just sounds flat.

Can't seem to get the embed to work. Here's the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68ELngY ... sxK8D8KdzZ

Seriously? This is the best melody Robertson could come up with? The hell happened to this guy?

At least the riff is decent. And the chorus is alright. Better than most of what we've heard from the album.

Best song from the new album I've heard so far.. Still not really blown away, but I liked the chorus a lot and the riff in the bridge was pretty cool with the harmonizing halfway.

Someone posted something about the album on their fb and I gave them a few harsh comments and Chris chimed in, he was pretty good about it and even said he was happy for my opinion. Told me to hear the whole album before judging it. Gotta respect him for that. This song is a big improvement over Me and Mary Jane, not so much over Fiesta.

He met some chick named Mary Jane.

Another new song, 'Runaway'

It's not bad, but not particularly good. Lyrics are crap, and the melodies are boring. This album will probably break Black Stone Cherry.

It's been a good run for these guys, but, yeah, Runaway lacks as a ballad compared to say "You."
