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

Cold, Clinical Polish Death Metal

Advantages: Technical, Atmospheric, full of catchy riffs, brilliantly executed
Disadvantages: None

Released in 2004, 'The Negation' is an excellent slab of technical, groove-laden death metal with a cold and mechanical-sounding edge to it. This was the last album to feature Sauron on vocals, and is regarded by many as the band's proudest moment. The songs are a mix of cold, and at times almost doomy guitar lines and incredibly tight high-speed riffing backed up by fast, clinical, blastbeat-heavy percussion courtesy of the now sadly departed drummer ...
...in a slow and calculated manner over the chaotic mailstrom of riffs and drums in a way that suits the music perfectly. The songs are full of tight, chugging riffs that are worked with almost surgical precision into the various deep, slow grooves that each track hammers home repeatedly, and this is contrasted with insanley melodic guitar solos at various intervals. The whole thing is reminiscient of a tighter, faster version of early Deicide in places, ...

Review of Negation, The - Decapitated

Suicide season- hit or miss for Bring me the horizon

Advantages: Loud, pumping and lots of screaming!
Disadvantages: Should have had more songs

In my opinion this album is a definate hit! I loved it despite the fact it is different from their previous stuff. Still hard core screamo metal of course but lead singer oli's voice seems more tame and trained. Songs such as Diamonds aren't forever and Football season is over will make you wanna go mental! Also featured in the album a little dig at controvertial disagreement between Oli sykes (vocals) and a fan that claims he urinated on her... ...

Review of Suicide Season [ECD] - Bring Me The Horizon

Carcuss - Choice Cuts. Best cuts or discount cuts?

Advantages: Good all round selection for people new to the band
Disadvantages: Nothing new for fans of the band

Choice Cuts is a best of album, taking songs from a wide selection of the bands history. You will find some of the early Grind stuff but it mainly consists of the newer more melodic output. Being a Carcass fan I have most of the Album based tracks already, and none of these are actually re-recorded or re-mastered. The Peel Sessions are of a very raw sound quality, and may not be for everyone. The amount of rarities that are out there for this band ...
...this compilation, rather than the few pickings here. This would be a good CD for people new to Carcass and are looking for a nice sample from various parts of there history, as for long time fans, you can skip this as it contains very little you don't already have bar a few interviews and some other hard to find bits and bobs, most of which could be found on video site like youtube or something. ...

Review of Choice Cuts [Remastered] - Carcass

Consistent High Energy Album

Advantages: Catchy, High Energy, Poetic
Disadvantages: Not the best vocals

...the California based punk legends and will probably always be my favorite Ranicd album. It is consistently catchy and energizing from the first song to the last, and definately contains some of their best hits such as "Time Bomb" and "Ruby Soho". The lyrics are meaningful and nostalgic, commemorating lost friends, fun times with past band members, and memories of growing up together. Tim Armstrong, the lead singer and main songwriter, shows himself ...
...as "As Wicked" and "Junkie Man" which both tell stories of people living tough lives. While a stunning voice had never been one of Tim's strengths, the catchy chorus lines and poetic lyrics seem to make up for anything lacked in vocals and he still manages to carry a tune. His raspy voice almost seems fitting as he sings of gritty life in the city and the hardships of growing up. In conclusion, if you enjoy good songwriting or are looking for a fun ...
