...must have addition to any Black Sabbath collection released: early september 1972 the album features some of Sabbaths most memorble tracks and sees Sabbath beginning to experiment successfully with new textures such as strings, piano, orchestration and multi-part songs.. Yet the classic Sabbath sound is still very much in evidence While not being Sabbaths best work its jam packed with memorable riffs which made Black Sabbath one of the greatest heavy ...

...this fantastic album justice. BLACK SABBATH? Surely there is no one on the face of this earth that hasn't heard of the immortal Black Sabbath, but incase you have been asleep your entire life, here is a list of the people who performed on this album (Thier lineup has changed over the years) Tony Immi - Lead Guitar, probably one of the all time great guitarists. Geezer Butler - Bass Guitar, brilliant bassist with some amazing solo parts. Bill ...
...it. TRACK LISTING Black Sabbath Probably the best opening song of all time, it is basically all about a man who is going to die and is going to go to hell, seeing the devil for the first time. The song starts of really slowly with rain and thunder in the background, then a church bell rings, shortly after we hear the first bit of music on the album, and for what its worth, I feel this is the best opener to a song ever, the lone guitar playing ...

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 ...

My favourite album

Advantages: Unique and Brilliant consistancey of good tracks
Disadvantages: Old fashion looking album design

Normally im into Children of Bodom, Slipknot, BFMV and alot more of the screamo bands. But the Avenged Sevefold have a truly unique style, the vocalist is amazing. I bought this album, and loved it. I think the best on the album is The beast and the harlot. I truly love this band and cannot wait until their next tour. The consistancy of the tracks is also very good with tracks like afterlife, bat country, Blinded in chains, MIA and gunslinger deserving ...
