Saved By Hell

Advantages: A number of excellent tracks feature on this release.
Disadvantages: Not as hard hitting an album as Millencolin releases of the past.

For a long time now I have admired the sweet sound of the music of Millencolin. The band actually formed in Sweden back in 1992, 'Machine 15' is the bands seventh studio album to date and it must be said that my opinion is that the bands best ever album has to be seen as 'Pennybridge Pioneers'. Released in the year 2000, 'Pennybridge Pioneers' was exceptionally well crafted from start to finish and never was the music in the slightest bit disappointing. ...
...since 2000 and is I believe an album well worth listening to. This album begins brilliantly and although it is not the strongest that this band has ever released, 'Machine 15' is I feel another excellent album to have been put out there by the supreme Swedish force that is Millencolin. One noticeable quality about this 'Machine 15' album is that the music is not quite so hard hitting as has been known in the past. The band has here favoured a more ...

Review of Machine 15 - Millencolin

The Poet's Walk

Advantages: Song structure is strong, the album is always excellent to listen to.
Disadvantages: The music is not hugely original.

...through Burning Heart Records/Epitaph, 'The Absinthe Dreams' is the second studio album from the Swedish metalcore band that is Path Of No Return. The album consists of eleven tracks and clocks in at just over 42 minutes in length; it's a pretty decent album and although not perfect, Path Of No Return is most definitely a band that is good at what it does. Path Of No Return sets out to attempt nothing new here, 'The Absinthe Dreams' would not win ...
...Title track 'The Absinthe Dreams' is most definitely one of my absolute favourites from this album, it's instrumental to begin with and then at about a minute in the music really begins to explode. There's the light sound of drumming, a pleasant underlying bass sound, and slight guitar stroke also; at the 45 second mark the vocals begin to roll and build in power as they charge through the track. There are a couple of instrumental sections utilised ...

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 ...

Review of Captain Morgan's Revenge - Alestorm

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 ...
