Antiworld - Length Of Time

Advantages: A new direction, Interesting ideas raised
Disadvantages: Some songs are very below par, and this album is also slightly overrated

...Although I'm a huge fan of so-called "alternative" music, Marilyn Manson has never appealed to me as much as to some people. However, although he's not by any means my favourite artist, I do still appreciate and enjoy a lot of his music. This should hopefully allow me to write a fair opinion of my views on this album. Apologies for the length, I just find that the album warrants an in-depth examination more than most. To start with, I feel I must explain the cult status of Manson. If any of you feel you are easily offended, I would strongly suggest against buying this album. Every song has either a blatant or hidden meaning relating to real-life situations or hatred, an even the cover art and interior pictures would be considered deeply offensive by Christians. I personally have no problem with this, however out of all the Manson albums... Read review

Advantages: Heavy yet melodic guitars, great lyrics
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...in the face by a girl. This song bemoans that fact. Again, lyrics are hard to hear but this time thanks to a radio-mic effect during the verse. As with Caffeine Bomb this has a slightly slower section in the middle, but it just adds tot he overall effect of the song rather than being gimmicky. Plus it features the trademark Wildhearts “guitar chug” – you have to hear it to understand it! #10 – News of the World “We’ve changed/We didn’t even try” muses Ginger on this anti-world song. This has some stunning guitar work on the break – all the way through if you want to get technical. The one key factor in Wildhearts songs is that they may complain about things, but never in a preachy or whiny Nickelback/Staind/Creed way. The songs are complete and you can take as much from them as you want – dance to ‘em or listen to the message – or both! When... Read review

Advantages: Musical entertainment
Disadvantages: Some tracks are a bit too short.

...Maladroit is the fourth album released by weezer and is quite good. It has some rocking songs with some of the usual weezer charm. This album is not weezer's best album but it is still up there in the rankings of nowadays music offerings. The tracks are as follows: 01.American gigolo: Starting off with some heavy beats of the drum, Rivers (Lead guitar and vocals) then kicks in with some heavy guitar. This develops into a heavy yet tuneful song. Track length:2:42. 02.Dope nose: Probably the best song on the album this short but sweet song really makes you want to get up and jump. Track length:2:17. 03.Keep fishin': A great song which has been released as a single and got in the charts a couple of months ago. It has an entertaining video in which the Muppets join in to have a rocking time. Track length:2:52. 04.Take control... Read review
