Hardcore, Punk & Heavy Metal > 5 GBP to 10 GBP Hardcore, Punk & Heavy Metal

Advantages: Flawless Heavy Metal record, technically stunning time signature shifts with occasional classical structuring
Disadvantages: 20 year old production job, could do with a re-mastering

...written. The chorus is a master class in how to combine a snaking super riff with great lyrics "Come crawling faster, obey your master, your life burns faster…" awesome. At 3 minutes and 34 seconds the pace drops as the word "Master" is repeated in increasingly darker tones. We get a beautiful segment of clean guitars with the beginning of what is about to become one hell of a guitar solo (see the band live and people all around will hum this one, ...
...Puppet's': 1. Battery 2. Master of Puppets 3. The Thing That Should Not Be 4. Welcome Home (Sanitarium) 5. Disposable Heroes 6. Leper Messiah 7. Orion (Instrumental) 8. Damage, Inc. I most certainly recommend this album to potential buyers, it is without a doubt the best 'Metallica' album released thus far. It clearly defined the 'Metallica' sound to it's full potential, and above all was a flawless masterpiece. If you like pre 'White Noise' ... Read review

Advantages: This album rocks, the artwork rocks and the long tracks rock. Awesome
Disadvantages: To Live is to Die only lasts 9.49, They hardly play any of this live.

...6:41. Very very amazing track, and It immediatly gives me the the feeling 'Yay, I bought A Metallica Album'. 2. "...And Justice for All" - 9:47 In my eyes the best track of the CD, and it deserves to be the albumtitle holder 3. "Eye of the Beholder" - 6:30 I love the drums in this track. 4. "One" - 7:26 He deserves a medal for the guitar. 5. "The Shortest Straw" - 6:36 A 'regular' awesome song 6. "Harvester of Sorrow" - 5:46 Rocks my boat, and ...
...every second of this track. 9. "Dyers Eve" - 5:13 LOVE the solo. The only downside is that it is to difficult for them to play this album live, so you know how awesome they can be, and live they won't play this, makes me sad. ... Read review

Advantages: Some say their finest hour
Disadvantages: There's only 8 tracks

Ride the Lightning is Metallica's follow-up to their debut album, 'Kill 'Em All' and while not as raw as the first, this is hardcore, head-banging, thrash-metal at its best. The band would go onto refine their sound in later albums, some would say water-down, but this early showing is full of in-your-face energy, grit and perhaps surprising to some, sheer musical brilliance. In this reviewers opinion, it's also among their best work. The Metallica ...
...and rhythm guitar, Lars Ulrich on drums, Kirk Hammett on lead guitar and the late, great Cliff Burton on bass. Hetfield here is starting to show promise on vocals. He's never had the greatest voice, he never will either, but it fits in with the style of music. Certainly on the their first few albums, the vocals play a definite second-fiddle to the music. Famously, Hetfield and to a slightly lesser degree Lars, are the main protagonists when it comes ... Read review

Advantages: You get a free rock map..Woohoo!
Disadvantages: Its not the rock you get at the seaside...

...his head is the title,The Very Best Of Rainbow. The inside cover has various pictures of band memebers on stage,and some very posed photographs.In one picture Dio looks like a 17th century Dandy.What a flamboyant imp he is! The best thing is when you fold out the inlay thing,it has a comprehensive list of albums,a giant rock family tree,and a detailed biography of Rainbow. It really is an exeptional inlay.You could base a whole pub quiz around ...
...run naked through Sherwood forest. Very slow and sublime,and nice to listen to without being gooeeeyy. We believe we catch the Rainbow... Starstruck This song was released in 1976 and also sung by Dio.This song is about an obssesed groupie.Hence the title. It is a really fast song,with fast punchy lyrics,and a great riff to it.There really is some great drumming in this too. Dead easy to wail along to. If I were high on a hill She'd be still ...

Advantages: MVI DVD provides additional content
Disadvantages: Album art could have been more interesting

In my opinion, Avenged Sevenfold's music provides 'something for everyone'. A hybrid of genres are present upon this CD, these include Metal, Country and there are even some elements of a Brass Band within some tracks. The MVI DVD that is included with this special edition of the album is a must have for any Die-Hard fan of Avenged Sevenfold. It contains videos including how the album was made, music videos and much more. Another advantage of the ... Read review
