The Real Portrayal of Bullet for my valentine, - The Poison

Advantages: Better than other content
Disadvantages: not many people listen to the older stuff. because they only listen to the song off guitar hero

In my opinion The Poison has outdone Bullet for my Valentines newest album by far, scream aim fire was a bad release and the style has changed completely. The poison has some great songs and they all have great solos vocals instrumentals, and well everything. i highly recommend if you like the newest album to buy the older one, its has a much better range of songs and all of the songs stick to a great independent genre only portrayed by Bullet for ...
...great and very original. its popular for 1 reason, quality. unlike the new album which was made famous by guitar hero, scream aim fire has ruined what i think of bullet for my valentine today and this album is the one that made them great. I highly recommend this album to all the people that have only listened to scream aim fire, its 100's of times better than scream aim fire. ...

Review of Poison, The [ECD] - Bullet For My Valentine

I can't believe I'm the first

Advantages: Iconic, pioneering, and just plain good
Disadvantages: Drum solo

...powerful sound. 2. Paranoid - do I have to tell you? I suppose they picked this one to release as a single as it's the right length and the most 'poppy'. 3. Planet Caravan - slow, wistful, melancholic, eerie, haunting, spacey, ethereal, poetic. A polished, shivers-down-the-spine track featuring understated jazzy guitar, proving that they can turn the volume down and still produce something distinctive and good. 4. Iron Man - grungy, daft, sci-fi ...
...by teenage boys of all ages. 5. Electric Funeral - Starts as pure grunge, speeds up, then goes grungy again. A short track with apocalyptic lyrics. 6. Hand of Doom - Slow, sinister, again with a fast bit in the middle. This appears to be an ANTI-drugs song. Did Ozzy heed his own warnings? (Well, he is still alive...) 7. Rat Salad - instrumental. A bit jazzy. The one with the drum solo, and mercifully short. I mean, I'm not completely against drum ...

Review of Paranoid - Black Sabbath

Welcome to the Dance of Death

Advantages: Lots of hits, great sound quality, one of the best bands ever
Disadvantages: Short playing time, not as good as "Rock In Rio"

I don't see myself as an insider of the rock- and metalszene in Europe, but nevertheless I recognize, of which topics metalfans are annoyed. This might be the 12th DVD single release by Manowar or black salsify-eating Black Metal bands throwing heads of dead sheeps into their audiences (me, I will going to bombard Mayhem with the skull of an elephant next time I see them on stage. Just for fun.). Or even a new live album by Iron Maiden. For a better ...
...The Road" is not really the very first live release from this favourite band of mine. Back catalogue already containing various live albums, for instance the legendary "Live After Death" from 1986, which is still considered to be the best Iron Maiden live album ever by lots of Maiden maniacs. Furthermore, there is the double album "A Real Live/Dead One" (I think it's from 1993), which was ony some comfort for the listeners due to leadsinger Bruce ...

Review of Death On The Road (Live) - Iron Maiden

Truly the best of Pantera

Advantages: Face melting riffs, bone crushing vocals.
Disadvantages: Some key songs in Panteras legacy missing.

Pantera are a Heavy Metal band that influenced many of the current popular Metal bands. They are sadly more well known after the death of lead guitarist "Dimebag" Daryl Abbott. Hopefully this album will show people that Pantera were well worth the hype they received. Understandably the album contains only the Cowboys From Hell+ era and excludes the Glam Rock era they were so ashamed of. And that's fine as nobody remembers the glam rock days anyway. ...
...for, not the conflict, the drugs or the tragic death of Dimebag. They should be remembered for the pure skill of Dimebag, the great lyrics of Anselmo and the thumping drums of Vinnie Paul (I left Rex Brown out because his bass was nothing special). In the album you have a great range of styles covered by Pantera. From the down and dirty style of Domination to melodic riffs of Cemetery Gates. The tracks are in, I believe, chronological order and ...

Review of Reinventing Hell (The Best Of Pantera/+DVD) [PA] - Pantera

This is how it should be

Advantages: A good collection of Thunder tracks
Disadvantages: sound compromised compared to studio tracks

This album is everything that LIVE classic rock should be. Thunders frontman/singer Danny Bowes delivers a stonking performance unrivalled by today teenie rockers.Ther rest of the band are: Gary "Harry" Janes - Drums, Luke Morley - Guitar/Harmonica, Ben Matthews - Guitar/keyboards, and Chris Childs - Bass. Thunder was formed from the ashes of another great band - Terraplane - in 1989. The band are from London and surrounding districts. Having ...
...a good representation of a live Thunder gig, the atmosphere translates well to the CD and it is the next best thing to being there. This is a double CD, with 22 live tracks. The tracklist includes well-known favourites, from the Back Street Symphony era, such as "Dirty Love" and "She's so fine", through the powerful "Does it feel like love?" and the haunting "Low life in high places" to the scorching "Gimme some lovin'". The general feel of this ...
