Time for Tears! Advantages: catchy and enjoyable, uncomplicated and entertaining songs, good guitars/keyboards Disadvantages: Nothing hugely original, not for those with an aversion to cheese Released in 2000 by Nuclear Blast Records, 'Believe' is the seventh full-length by German gothic metal band Crematory. Essentially it consists of poppy and catchy, polished gothic/industrial rock/metal that lies somewhere between the more mainstream output of Paradise Lost and Rammstein, with plenty of tinkly keyboards and cheesy, sweeping synths. The vocals meanwhile are a mix of clean singing in the style of Paradise Lost's Nick Holmes alternated ... ...song structures. Whilst Crematory's sound might be quite derivative and is most certainly cheesy, 'Believe' remains an energetic and uplifting album with well-constructed songs, catchy chugging riffs and enjoyable gothic rock choruses. The album works slick, rocky clean sections with melodic gothic keyboards and immensely enjoyable 80s synth-pop sections around choppy industrial riffs, with a solid production job ensuring that everything meshes together ...

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 ... andycarrington 22.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

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 ... slayer1293 05.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of City Of Evil (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Avenged Sevenfold	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

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. ... seemewheelie 15.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Sinner - Drowning Pool	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...
