One Cold Winter's Night... Gets me hot ;)

Advantages: Awesome
Disadvantages: you also have to sleep.

...says it is based on one of Norways first popsongs, so when the crowd recognizes it they start cheering, and I can not blame them. He makes the crowd sing the intro with him, and they do, they tie down, while the music plays greatly and then makes space for his vocals. Vocals are highly enjoyable, the lyrics are well suited, and great for singing along, the music is only dominating when it is the deal, so the entire song, even though its wild, its ...
...2 vocalists there is not one flaw to detect, I can not do anything else then giving this a 10, although They both deserve a 10, but since its Kamelots tour I can only give a 10. PS, seen this live, she windmills ( headbangs in a circle so her long orange/red hair turns around like a windmill ), awesome. Track 11: 'Moonlight' ~ Length: 5:10 ~ 10/10 Well, you are sad Simone left again, but that does not last too long, because when the music starts ...

Opeth - Ghost Reveries

Advantages: amazing musicianship, beautiful songs/vocals
Disadvantages: sucks to be you if you don't have this CD already!

...album they put out. Ghost Reveries is excellent from the minute it starts all the way until the end. Anyone familiar with Opeth's unique approach to songwriting and musicianship will not be let down with this album. It is intensely heavy and dark throughout and also is soft and melodic when it needs to be. The production quality is top notch on this record and the overall tone is subperb. The album kicks off with the classic Opeth death metal style ...
...groovy progressive song with great breakdowns and acoustic parts. The album continues on with a couple of great heavy/progressive songs. Hours of Wealth is one of the most beautiful pieces Opeth has ever done and will bring a tear to your eye. I would recommend this album to everyone who loves Opeth (if you do you probably already have this album!) and to anyone who is just a music lover in general. I would have to say this was the best metal album ...

Review of Ghost Reveries - Opeth

Obzen

Advantages: Extremely tight and profound
Disadvantages: Lacks variation

Amazing. Swedish Mathmetal Meshuggah's latest studio effort is an all out combination of their previous work, which includes a blending of slow and fast tempo aggression rarely seen in any other music. Characterized odd time signatures and down tuned 8 string guitars provide a "chugging" (a term which has become increasingly part of meshuggah's critical vocabulary) sound which is unique, inhuman and mind-bending. This sound is experienced on pretty ...
...Thomas Haake's drumming is at its best, with rave reviews from all over the musical world for the unrepentant attack of his kit (again here: Bleed is exceptional) along with superb jazz influenced guitar solos and soundscaping from Fredrik Thordendal. It can be obviously heard that every band member is extremely skilled. 01.COMBUSTION: relentless, simple (comparatively to the other tracks) and fast, good intro to the album. 4/5 02. ELECTRIC RED: ...

Review of Obzen - Meshuggah

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 ...
