Eagle Has Landed Vol.3, The - Saxon

Advantages: Excellent Chillout album, Save Tonight is on it!
Disadvantages: Very little in the way of "outstanding" or "catchy" songs.

...After learning to play "Save Tonight" on my trusty acoustic guitar (I can sing along at the same time too! Impressed, aren't ya?) :P I decided to see what else this "Eagle-Eye Cherry" Bloke had to offer. "Desireless" really does rely on the strength of "Save Tonight", so much so that it is actually the opening song on the album. Unfortunately, as with many artists, leading an album off with your best track is not a good idea!

Advantages: SLIPKNOT ARE BACK
Disadvantages: Some softer songs

...Another great album from Iowa's 9 piece tribute to pure metal glory. With new and improved masks and a new passion they come back. The new album, Vol.3 The Subliminal Verses, is both of mixture of Slipknot's past styles, experience and some influence from Corey Taylors other band Stonesour is shown in the vocals of Circle and Vermillion Parts 1 and 2. Certain tracks as expected hardcore classic slipknot such as Pulse of the Maggots, Duality and Three Nil. But the softer acoustics in Circle do give the album good variety. Other all, a good album, its not Iowa, buts it is Slipknot after the experience of other albums and live shows. There back and the Pulse of the Maggots has returned. STAY 666!... Read review
