What's your favorite black labia society album?

BLS is not a band that I particularly consider to be "good" (despite owning 4 of their albums... WOWZA-- how'd that happen?), but probably Mafia, though it's been lost practically since I bought it.

Ah, that sucks. Definitely seems out of the norm. I think he had marital issues a while back, maybe that's when you saw him? That's too bad. You should check them out again sometime, maybe a rockin' performance will change your mind about the albums?

Eh, doubtful that will ever happen, not just with BLS, but seeing live shows in general. Don't have the cash or desire to do so much anymore. On a related note, however, I recently picked up Zakk's solo cd Book of Shadows (finally!) and found it to be quite good. So maybe I'll get back to listening to some BLS as my bitterness fades.

Book of Shadows is great! I'm not a big fan of the Pride & Glory album, though. I find myself skipping a lot of the songs when they come on.

Same here. Pride & Glory doesn't do much for me either. It's ok, but something about the vocals I don't like. I think Zakk was still finding his voice, if that makes sense. He sounds like he's trying to be Greg Allman or some southern boy. Dude, you're from Jersey.

I vote none of the above. This band is horrible.

love all the albums and BLS smoked when i seen them live. Fav cd is STD followed by 1919

Hellride

1919. My first BLS and favorite.

I think that's exactly what the problem is. He tried. This is a guy that basically goes into a studio with nothing written, and comes out a few weeks later with a killer album. He lets it flow naturally. Pride & Glory doesn't sound natural to me. It sounds like he tried too hard.

That said, it is a good album, and there are some corkers on it for sure. But it's a mood album for me. It's 50/50 whether I'll skip the song or not, whereas anything else he's done I'll listen to. "Blackened Waters" is playing right now, in fact. Fitting.

I chose Mafia, b/c I could only choose one from the poll list. But, 1919 Eternal and The Blessed Hellride are a very, very close second. BLS is awesome. Peace.

I love the southern vibe on Pride and Glory, wish he'd do more in that veing. Hearing that is what caused me to check out BLS.

I'm waiting for someone to vote for Shot to hell. It's probably my 2nd favorite.

I'm in the 'horrible' group. But is it just me or was the thread title not always that?

I like all of them about as much as another, I liked Pride and Glory the best out of his non-Ozzy stuff. I picked The Blessed Hellride" from this list

You're right. I accidently typed it 'black labes' but I guess someone changed it to 'black labia'

Mmmm. Black Labia

ABUSE OF ADMIN/MOD POWER!

It was funny as "Black Labes"; it's even funnier as "Black Labia".
