From an interview with Sully from Godsmack

Which is interesting, because your fans have always responded so strongly to the anguish in your music.

Well, I'll tell you, this record is no less emotional. It's very powerful and tough, but it's very melodic. Some songs are epic, some songs go back to the straightforward, in-your-face Godsmack sound from the first record. But there's an acoustic song called "Hollow" that's just mandolins, me and this blues-rock singer named Lisa Guy -- she's awesome, man; she sounds like Anne Wilson from Heart -- it's almost like a modern-day version of [Led Zeppelin's] "[The] Battle of Evermore." It's beautiful, man! There's so many textures on this record. It's a very broad album. People aren't gonna get bored with this one very quickly, I'll tell you that.

I haven't heard the track yet...but one more step for mandolin...

A snippet of the song can be heard at Amazon.com. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EXOAAO/ref=m_art_pr_1/103-0178121-1488625?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=5174) IMHO, it isn't near as exicting as BOE, but it's interesting nonetheless. (I wish Amazon included Lisa Guy's vocals in the sample -- maybe she just sings the chorus, or perhaps sings harmony in later verses?)

I doubt anything could be a exciting as BOE. I just like to see that the mando is making the rounds...
