I Got My Scandinavian Leather On

Advantages: Becoming a Denim Demon
Disadvantages: Selling Your Body To The Night

...Records / Epitaph. This Scandinavian Leather is the first album to be released under that new deal and what a corker of an album it is. It starts off with Blizzard of Flames a easy listening intro and then straight into the first track "Wipe it Till it Bleeds" which has a relentless repetitive guitar riff which lifts you up and you just know that this is what Rock and Roll is all about. The album is a superb mixture of Punk Rock with tracks like ...
...Sound to another level. "Sell Your Body to The Night" which has an incredibly sleazy stoogiesesque riff. The nihilistic lyrical sentiment of "Drenched in Blood", "Ride with Us" and "Turbonegro Must Be Destroyed", but this is more than just a punk rock album. There are shades of classic rock and you can hear more standard rock influences such as Alice Cooper on "F*** The World". Where this album really succeeds is that they have taken a whole heap ...

Review of Scandinavian Leather - Turbonegro

Have a party with this album!

Advantages: The best album they have done so far!
Disadvantages: There are none! Its the best!

I first heard the songs from this album when I downloaded them, but that wasn't good enough. After hearing them they were so good I just had to buy the album! My fave turbonegro dude has to be euroboy - he really has changed the style of their music since becoming their lead guitarist. The best song on this album has to be ' blow me like the wind'! You first think its quite a rude song but now I understand they are just singing about being on a boat ...
...Another good song is 'all my friends are dead '. Euroboys solo in the middle always gets my heart beating and after seeing this song live - the crowd just goes wild. They all sing along. The song 'hard stuff hard s**t' is also a fantastic track! Its about a sexy war reporter in Iraq and how she shouldnt be there - but back home! As where she is, is very dangerous and so is so beautiful. Out of all the songs if I had to pick my least faveourite ...

Review of Party Animals - Turbonegro

Are You Ready For Some Darkness?

Advantages: Rockin' good tunes!
Disadvantages: Some could find lyrics daft - bit samey maybe...

...to be known as… The Apocalypse Dudes!” The song proper then commences, with a drum & guitar intro crashing into a “who-who-wo-oh!” intro. Widdly-widdly guitars mesh with a hard rock rhythm backdrop - this makes for a perfect opener. This is all about the pizza parlour that the keyboard player owned. Also, this is semi-famous for being the theme music for MTV’s Jackass spin-off Wildboyz. Incredibly catchy and should really be funny, but it’s actually ...
...ownery. Also has a nice Cheap Trick tribute in the midsection. TRACK TWO – Selfdestructo Bust Another fast number - guitar solos perforate the main song in the same style as a Supersuckers song. The kind of song you hear playing in the backdrop to a BMX stunt riding video – seeing as it refers to having a “steel machine” and having to “get away”. Not much to the lyrics but a hard-rocking number all the same. TRACK THREE – Get It On Slightly less ...

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 ...
