Grim Advantages: atmosphere, it's Black Metal Disadvantages: songs all sound the same after a while Darkthrone's Transilvanian Hunger is their 4th album, and last(until now) on the Peaceville label. In 1990, Darkthrone released their debut album, which was a total Death Metal record, but later opted to change sound and become Black Metal, influenced by Mayhem guitarist and scene legend Euronymous. Up until this time, Darkthrone's two previous full lengths(Blaze in the Northern Sky, Under a Funeral Moon) were minimal, yet featured many different ... ...and all of that has changed. The 8 songs present here are all based around the same structure, 2 or 3 riffs repeated over and over to induce a trance like state in the listener. The drums are blast beats exclusively, but unlike Marduk and Dark Funeral, are not uber fast. The bass can be at times slightly audible, but this is rare. Six of the songs are written and "sung" in Norwegian, with only the title track and As Flittermice as Satans Spys being ... wargoat 16.03.2006 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Transilvanian Hunger - Darkthrone	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

Darkthrone Coming and Kicking Advantages: good production and sound, catchy songs Disadvantages: different from the older albums This release was something totally unexpected (except the fact that the full-length album was preceded by a EP "Too Old Too Cold" which gave people a decent surprise) and came like rain from clear sky. With this release Darkthrone have evolved from good old norwegian black metal to motörheadesque and quite heavily punk influenced thrash metal band and I absolutely adore it. Actually the change is rather small, it could be considered big only because ... ...band, but considering that Darkthrone started as a death metal band (their first album is basically a death metal release) turning into black metal after their first release "Soulside Journey". So it's not that big surprise. Compared to their previous full-length "Sardonic Wrath" this release is much more listener-friendly. The vocals, done by Nocturno Culto, are somewhat less harsh, not so much screech as in more like harsh singing familiar to ... gramortis 29.01.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Cult Is Alive, The [PA] - Darkthrone	Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency...

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...

I love the guitarring its really catching and the drums are excellent. Lyrics are immense and stick in your head 'So have no fear and dont look back the afterlife awaits' I love that line espesially I dont know why. The track in itself is just indescribable to be honest, its probably one of the best songs I have heard from this band. Track Three The ... rockchick2k7 07.12.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Captain Morgan's Revenge - Alestorm	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...
