Nevermind. Greed go the better of me and I picked it up a few hours ago.

Just went out to look for it and the new Dream Evil. Neither was in stock. Lame.

Best Buy had Fozzy for $7.99. I got the last copy. They don't have a Dream Evil section, so I hopped over to FYE at the mall and picked up that one for $14.99. Also the last (only?) copy.

Probably the only copies. A lot of stores will only buy one copy of certain releases. Kind of lame. Good to know the Fozzy is $7.99 at Best Buy, though. I always forget to check with them first. They're always selling stuff cheaper these days, and often with exclusive bonus tracks.

I got the $7.99 copy at Best Buy. The album is pretty good.

Streaming this album again......I think its about one or two songs to long. They could have cut the Friday the 13th song at least.

Odd way to stir up some promotion your new album...

According to TMZ.com, FOZZY frontman/WWE wrestler Chris Jericho was arrested at a gas station in Kentucky early Wednesday morning (January 27) after cops say he and a fellow wrestler were both "extremely intoxicated" in public.

39-year-old Jericho was taken into custody in Kenton County around 5 a.m. for "alcohol intoxication in a public place."

Jericho was released on $120 bond.

According to Kentucky state law, an arrest is usually made when a police officer is suspicious of an individual when the person "appears in a public place manifestly under the influence of alcohol to the degree that he may endanger himself or other persons or property, or unreasonably annoy persons in his vicinity."

A first-time offense requires the individual to be booked at the local jail and be charged with a small fine, usually between $25 and $50.

It's illegal to be drunk?

That's lame.

You can get arrested for annoying people? Haha. Ah, Kentucky. Love that chicken.

By the way, my Best Buy ain't selling this for $7.99. I don't know if that's a mistake or not, but it's lame.

No $7.99 sticker or it didn't ring up $7.99?

I've given most of this album a listen and my feeling is basically the same for the rest of their stuff -- it's okay. Honestly, if I wasn't such a fan of Jericho, I probably wouldn't have picked this one up. It's too much like the lame stuff on radio.

That's my take on Fozzy in general.

I love Rich Ward and have all the Stuck Mojo albums but the Fozzy stuff just doesn't really do anything for me. It's not bad really, just sort of "there".

They were fun as a cover band/tribute to '80s metal, but they've crossed over to trying to be current (actually, I would say they have more of an early '00s sound now ) and mainstream and it just doesn't work, IMO.

I just wanted to say the new album rules.

This is a great album and more than makes up for the last one. Still has the modern feel to it but it is full of melody, hooks, solos, riffs, and the best vocals from Jericho yet. There is even a little bit of prog (via keyboards) in the epic finale of the album. So far it is a contender for my top list this year (though it's a bit too early in the game to tell).

After a few spins i have to say it's not as good as i originally thought. It probably won't be a keeper.

Local ATL metal favorite sons HALCYON WAY will open for FOZZY in the UK later this year(May)!
