Will It Work? - SIXX: AM Edition

Recently, singer and producer James Michael  revealed  SIXX: AM will record a new album. I didn't think much of this at the time. Sure, it's good news and I dismissed it as much. Over time, I've started to wonder: what will a new SIXX: AM disc sound like?

The reason SIXX: AM and the Heroin Diaries soundtrack took-off is because of the "special project" element. Just three musicians - one of them a superstar - coming together to tell the story of addiction through music.

Nikki Sixx had a reason to create SIXX: AM. He wanted to tell his story through words and music. Understanding that not everyone would read his book, he gave fans an alternative to written words - and created a great album in the process.

Now, SIXX: AM announce plans to make a new album and I don't know if it will work. As time goes on, I can't help but worry more albums would cheapen the original output. Of course, I could be wrong. DJ Ashba and James Michael are great collaborators. With Nikki, I believe they have another great album in them. I just don't know if it will be as poignant - or successful - as the Heroin Diaries soundtrack. Then there's the issue of Nikki getting bored with his side projects, but that's another article entirely.

What are your thoughts on a new SIXX: AM album?
