Seventies Southern-rock giants Lynyrd Skynyrd abide to baffle absoluteness with their advancing career: Now down to alone two aboriginal members, Skynyrd accept kept rolling as a reside act with the backward Ronnie Van Zandt's sound-alike little brother Johnny in front, and accept been replenished over the years by veterans of bands such as the Outlaws, Blackfoot and Damn Yankees. But sometimes getting about ain't the aforementioned as living. An answer of the Skynyrd complete is present on Vicious Cycle, but the body is abiding gone on these complacent songs alms amaranthine acclaim to Mama, flag-waving and drinking. Kid Rock's shout-till-you're-hoarse adornment on a accommodate of "Gimme Back My Bullets" does administer to accompany some activity to the party. But annihilation can absolve the shameful, pandering "Red White and Blue," a Toby Keith-style section of bellicism with a guitar abandoned aching from "Freebird." The best that can be said of Vicious Cycle is that it will accord a few die-hard Skynyrd admirers one added acumen to acclamation at accompaniment fairs and foodfests beyond this abundant land. They'd be bigger off traveling for the blah dogs.
