adios

Advantages: Classic
Disadvantages: Marketed as a best of - what?

...if a fitting end to Muchas Gracias, and indeed to Kyuss' album career; they dissipated into bands such as Queens Of The Stone Age, Slo Burn, Unida, Hermano, Mondo Generator, Fu Manchu and many others. There were rumblings about the band reforming a while back, when Josh, Nick and Brant were together, but John Garcia seems to be the uncooperative party (I've read he is hard to work with). In the end it was a necceseary tragedy that Kyuss broke up; ...

Review of Muchas Gracias (The Best Of Kyuss) [Remastered] - Kyuss

Viking metal at its best

Advantages: Makes you want to rape and pillage!!!
Disadvantages: None that I can see, it is what it is!

...The tracklist: 1. Twilight of the thundergod: (4.09) Awesome intro, brilliant extended growl to come in with awesome paced double bass and low end melodic guitaring. The vocals come in clear and like most Amon amarth albums, you can mostly fully understand the lyrical content, which is another thing I like about this band, as their lyrical content is pretty cool and trys to give you an insight of the mind of the viking and how they lived day to ...
...growling and the lyrical content tends to be on the satanic, sadomasichistic, perverted and shocking for the sake of shocking, not that there is anything wrong with that, but it can get stale and it is refreshing to have bands like Amon Amarth (Nile also sing about Egyptian mythology). Back to song, great intro, great title song and worthy of having the album named after this track. 2. Free will sacrifice (4.09) A slower but nonetheless heavy song ...

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 ...

Review of Captain Morgan's Revenge - Alestorm

My favourite album

Advantages: Unique and Brilliant consistancey of good tracks
Disadvantages: Old fashion looking album design

Normally im into Children of Bodom, Slipknot, BFMV and alot more of the screamo bands. But the Avenged Sevefold have a truly unique style, the vocalist is amazing. I bought this album, and loved it. I think the best on the album is The beast and the harlot. I truly love this band and cannot wait until their next tour. The consistancy of the tracks is also very good with tracks like afterlife, bat country, Blinded in chains, MIA and gunslinger deserving ...
