The Oracle by Godsmack
The Oracle is an album by Godsmack, released in 2010. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 28 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Cryin' Like a Bitch!!”, on 8 lists with a best position of #21.
The Oracle, Godsmack's sixth studio album, arrived on May 4, 2010, their first studio set since IV in 2006, and it didn't waste the wait. Sully Erna, Robbie Merrill, Tony Rombola and drummer Shannon Larkin come out swinging with a heavy, pummeling record that leans harder than ever on riffs and thunder, drawing on alternative metal and hard rock in equal measure.
"Cryin' Like a Bitch!!" is pure snarling aggression, "Love-Hate-Sex-Pain" slows the tempo for something darker and more brooding, and "Whiskey Hangover" staggers in like its title. Critics were broadly kind, and it became the band's third straight number one on the Billboard 200 after Faceless and IV.
