Ahmad - Ahmad

Advantages: Good

...Kind of Blue might have received most of the acclaim but Milestones, the recorded debut of the Miles Davis Sextet, is in the same league. This remarkable super group (featuring Davis's trumpet, tenor-saxophonist John Coltrane, altoist Cannonball Adderley, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones) was arguably the greatest one Miles Davis ever led. "Two Bass Hit" features the two saxes trading off with fire and "Billy Boy" showcases the Red Garland trio (showing what they learned from Ahmad Jamal), but "Straight No Chaser" really demonstrates what a powerhouse band this was....

It is a drastic change from their previous album "Ascendancy", which is classified as metal core. It's a solo insanity CD, but in a good way.

We don't know, all we hear is detonation! 3 - Entrance fo the Conflagration A true story about a religous woman (Andrea Yates) who murdered her 5 children in their home. Drowning them in the bath, one by one. 4 - Anthem (We are the fire) I think this one's meant to be a kind of anthem. A song on the album that will be used to promote album sales by being a single, getting the band out there again in the charts. 5 - Unrepentant About Nazir Ahmad, murdering his 3 daughters and stepdaughter. 6 - And Sadness with Sear Paints the picture of the murder of Matthew Shepherd. Attacked because he... Read review
