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 ...

Review of City Of Evil (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Avenged Sevenfold

First and best

Advantages: Original, Interesting
Disadvantages: Some song can seem a little similar

This was back before the lead singer Dave Williams died, and they have gone downhill since. This album is very raw and heavy, but was unlike other bands at the same time. The biggest hit from this album was track 2 'Bodies'. This song is very aggressive but also catchy and original. This album doesn't have a single song that i dislike, this may be due to the fact that there is a strong element that is consistent between such as the guitar sounds. ...

Review of Sinner - Drowning Pool

The turning point

Advantages: Original, Quality recording, Amazing Lyrics
Disadvantages: None

For me this is the point at which megadeth turned from good to amazing. There is not a song on this album that i dislike, but for me the best tracks are 'Skin O' My Teeth', 'Symphony Of Destruction' and 'High Speed Dirt'. At this point in Megadeths career they had the best line up yet, which was Dave Mustaine, David Ellefson, Marty Friedman and Nick Menza. This album was so much more than i ever thought Megadeth was capable of, and is a must have ...

Review of Countdown To Extinction - Megadeth

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 ...
