Bio Order
Advantages: Brutal and unrelenting Disadvantages: Not easy listening
...the benchmark by which all new hardcore bands are judged. So they gave themselves something to live up to with this, their 4th album. It's just as hard and brutal as any of their previous releases, after you get past opener Resist.
Yet, the further in you get, and the more you listen, the better the songs become. By the time you reach track seven, Inner Fear On, you're consumed by the perfected and crunching riff that the New York quartet perform ...

Hazard Lights
Advantages: Pure anger Disadvantages: Mixed sound quality
...a just over an hour, No Holds Barred contains 20 tracks of pure unadultered anger, genuine "wrong side of the tracks" attitude and fury.
Recorded in Hamburg earlier this year during their highly successful European tour, the new album really does show how Biohazard are one of the only bands around at the moment who manage to convincingly combinte heavy-duty street anger with both rap and hardcore metal. ...

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 ...
