Review of Garage Inc. [PA] - Metallica

Some Kind of Monster

Advantages: The title track is pretty good.
Disadvantages: The tracks are far too long and the vocals lack any real depth of power.

Metallica formed back in 1981 and have to date released a grand total of eight studio albums. 'St. Anger' is the latest of which and was given its release upon the world in June 2003. It took them from May 2002 until April 2003 to record, and all I can say of this matter is that it took them far too long to record such a disappointing album in my opinion. You'd think that James Hetfield would have been able to put down much better vocals in a year ...
...exactly make the best of first impressions here. The track is in fact really quite awful, and containing lyrics of 'Frantic tick tick, tick tick tick tock' it isn't exactly the most intelligent of tracks in the world. For an album that starts so wrong footed, it is hardly surprising then that as the album continues it fails to impress. To the front of the album is a sticker that states '11 New Songs; Over 75 minutes of music' and I have to tell you ...

Review of St. Anger [PA] - Metallica

St. Anger

Advantages: The return of Metallica
Disadvantages: The death of Metallica....

Now, I'm a Metallica fan, as I'm sure a number of you are. But who here who are fans of great metal albums like 'Ride The Lightning' and 'Master of Puppets' geniunely enjoyed 'St. Anger'? Now, don't let me spoil the surprise, read on.... I often like to review albums I enjoyed (4 or 5 stars - check my other reviews please! *hint!!*), but I thought I'd have a go at one I didn't particular enjoy.... The troubles within the band a couple of years ...
...leaving, James Hetfield suffering drink problems - all these troublesome times, could in theory, produce some excellent metal music, full of thought and emotion, but it appears it's struggle to do that even though Hetfield described this album as a 'great expression'. The ardent Metallica fan would say they 'sold out' with the release of 'Load' and 'Re-Load', or even as far back as when they produced the video for 'One'. I wasn't too fussed with ...

Review of St. Anger (Explicit Version/+DVD) - Metallica

Rage Against The Machine Album Review

Advantages: Hard, unconventional rock
Disadvantages: An acquired taste

Rap-Metal group Rage Against the Machine released their self-titled debut album in 1992, but the music is just as relevant today as it was back then. Songs like 'Take the Power Back' and 'Freedom' are about individual exploitation by the cultural, social, and political systems in society, and how the people must be willing to rise up and overcome such oppression. You may have also recently heard about the small matter of 'Killing in the Name' beating ...
...when you first listen to Rage is that they mean business. The whole album is intended to provide voice to the silent minority: Those individuals that feel neglected and abused are given hope through the band's resonant, unashamed, confrontational expression. Guitarist Tom Morello's anomalous riffs, rhythmic special effects and extended tapping techniques were some of the most powerful sounds to come from a guitar in that era, and remain unchallenged ...
