At first listen, I sat there not really knowing what to expect. Only two of the original lineup left, and although Marten Anderson sat in on the Starwood album, and I knew he was good, I wasn't sure the old Lizzy magic would be there. Wrong, it is there and then some. Ira Black brings a crunch to Lizzy Borden that wasnt there before and the album rocks from front to back. My favorites are of course the title cut, Under your skin, and Tomorrow Never Comes. This album was a couple years in the making, and it has been worth every minute of it. Keep on Givin 'em the axe, Lizzy and company!
I have been a Lizzy fan since the beginning. I enjoyed the anti-social anthems like "Me Against the World" and the hard and heavy "Deal with the Devil". But this CD neither has the Lizzy sound nor the LIzzy anthems. What this CD is a poor attempt to appear more Satanic or evil and the music suffers because of it. To be perfectly honest, there isn't a good or listenable song on this CD. The addition of Ira Black on guitar after the untimely death of Alex Nelson is not a good fit. Black's solos don't fit the music or the band itself. What you have here is a lot of noise and heavy drum pounding that doesn't fit the Lizzy sound that longtime fans were hoping for. After a outstanding comeback album like "Deal With the Devil", "Appointment with Death" is a total disappointment and not a good followup. I think I speak for most longtime Lizzy fans when I say that this CD has an appointment with the local CD trader or back to Ebay. It has been said that when a band tries to continue on without it's key member, then it is destined to fail. Who knew that Alex Nelson was that key member?Read full review
