linkin park were once called hybrid theory

Advantages: great music performed live by a great band
Disadvantages: it doesnt show them 100% at their best

...the CD(12 audio live tracks) comes with DVD (17 performance tracks), case, and booklet (10 pages). DVD DIRECTOR: Kimo Proudfoot DVD PRODUCER: Matt Calabiano ALBUM PRODUCER: Josh Abraham Great an up close look at a band who is passionate about their music. The DVD has some off-stage sound bites and lots of on-stage action shots. The bands seems to have the big tough Metallica fans prancing happily in the Mosh Pit throughout the show which ya gotta ...
...time to notice the text and art on the actual CDs themselves - - which is reallly cool. 1. Don't Stay great slow motion footage during the intro. the crowd is immediately into the show. 2. Somewhere I Belong the band showcases their strong vocal talent here. The mix between DJ, guitar, bass, vocals is amazing. 3. Lying From You not mixed very well which is Too bad cos its a really Good song. 4. Papercut vocals get lost in the music here, again. ...

Review of Live In Texas (+DVD) [Digipak] - Linkin Park

Wonderful Progressive Black Metal

Advantages: Holds your intrest, is otherwordly.
Disadvantages: None

Formed back in 1991 and hailing from Norway, Enslaved have been at the forefront of this genre along with a few other bands. Though they started out as predominantly a Black Metal band from Norway, their progressive leanings kicked in around 1997 with their album ELD, and from this album on, you definitely hear other genres slipping into their music from using clean vocals, growls and screams, to clean guitars, unusual chord structures, melodic rhythms ...
...of. I particularly love the fact that some of the lyrics are Norwegian, whichs makes for more of an Auditory experience than concentrating on the intellect of the lyrical content, which, what I can understand, is very well written. this album was released in 2004 and is their 8th full length studio album. Here is a quick run down on what to expect from each song: Intro: Green Reflection" – 0:51 A visceral introduction... a feeling of floating ...

Review of Isa - Enslaved

Too twee for me from the puffin metal kings

Advantages: One or two decent folk melodies
Disadvantages: Too twee, nothing original

Ragnarok is Tyr's 3rd album, released in 2006 on Napalm Records having moved away from their previous deal with the small Faroese record label Tutl. There were good and bad aspects of Tyr's 2003 album Eric the Red but their 2006 follow up Ragnarok certainly wasn''t put together in a hurry and the band had plenty of time to focus on the good aspects. Perhaps the things that they found good and the things that I found good are different because I ...
...Eric The Red, what it has done is taken the poppy theme of Eric The Red which seems even tamer than their Proclaimers type vocals previously used. The lyrics in Faroese are incomprehendible to the non-speaking majority and are a bit too songbirdish and twee for my liking. The band particularly seem to boast of eclectic tracks but there's very little to seperate the various styles used on this album and I personally find that it gets a bit tedious ...

Review of Ragnarok - TYR

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 ...
