A great collection

Advantages: Songs not released on albums
Disadvantages: None

...songs in sections of which single they are on and write a bit about each single to save you reading a 50 000 word review. Gone with the Sin 1. Gone with the Sin (Radio edit) 2. Gone with the Sin (O.D Version) 3. For You (Accoustic Version) 4. Bury me Deep inside Your Heart (Live) 5. Gone with the Sin (Album version) The highlight of this album is the Radio edit of "Gone with the Sin". I think that it would be the album version but i'v ...
...Embrace (Album version) This single is called "When Love and Death Embrace" for a reason. I like the song but four versions of it gets a bit too much. The Radio Edit is really good. It's becoming one of my favourites. The AOR-Radio edit is even better again. It is slower and quieter. The thing is they all sound a bit too alike for me. Wicked Game 1. Wicked Game 2. For You 3. Our Diabolical Rapture 4. Wicked Game (666-Remix) "Wicked Game" ...

Review of Single Collection, The (Singles Set) - HIM

Good Karma & Bad Karma

Advantages: some excellent tracks, great music
Disadvantages: bad track lineup, last track too long

When thinking about which Kamelot CD I prefer, it is always a toss-up between "Karma" or "The Fourth Legacy." Now that I have reviewed both, it seems obvious which has the most flaws. Sadly, it is this one, "Karma." While oustanding in many ways, it does trip up in a couple of ways that I shall mention later. Like it's predecessor, the CD begins with a warm-up musical score, "Regalis Apertura" which slowly builds up in to the thundering "Forever," ...
...Kamelot's greatest tracks. Likewise, the next track on the album, "Wings of Despair" stands next to it as one of their greatest. You'll no doubt find yourself skipping back to track 2 and replaying those two again. It, then, tends to go down hill. Their next track, "The Spell," is an attempt at something different, and perhaps, overall, that's what this entire album is, a change of direction for Kamelot, and not necessarily a good one. If their ...

Review of Karma - Kamelot

Not your average Metal band - buy this now

Advantages: Dark, alluring, Intricate, varied.
Disadvantages: 7 song album,

...excellent in there own ways Orchid is by far the best. I would advise anyone not familar with this band but into any form of metal including death metal, that they should by this album first!! They are a very unique band and hard to put into a genre or sub genre as the amazing eclectic playing shows influences from blues, Jazz and Psychedelic rock from the 70's. Although only having 7 songs, 5 of them are around 10 or more minutes long. Despite ...
...in fact they are often intricate mixture of distorted, clean and acoustic sounding guitars that they have managed to perfectly run into one another without sounding the least bit forced or out of place. I have spent a lot of time reviewing this finding it increasing hard to describe all i can say it is a stunning album that i will never forget. ...

Review of Orchid - Opeth

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

This is Now!

Advantages: Andy's best album!
Disadvantages: none

Buy this CD! It is my favourite Andy Timmons album! The first song "Super 70's" straight away shows Andy's unique style with amazing guitar riffs and even better solos! "Beautiful Strange" is also a very good song involving some quick shifts and mixed rhythm and lead parts from the one guitar! Electric Gypsy is a clam and cool instrumental track with great melodies with a little of the rock quality throughout the song. Carpe Diem shows Andy's influences ...
