Hardcore, Punk & Heavy Metal > Delta Music/Sony DADC Hardcore, Punk & Heavy Metal

Fantastic album.

Advantages: It would appeal to a lot of musical genres.
Disadvantages: You just want more and more.

This is my favorite Social Distortion album. Every single track is amazing in my opinion. The tracks are hard and fast with a deep sense of meaning and thoughtfulness in the lyrics. Compared to there other releases it probably does fall short of Mommy's little monster in the quality of the songs but it makes up for it because it has more songs of a very high quality. The songs and the sound are unlike any other band and it is different to some of ...
...the album compared to there other work. But it still has the Mike Ness feel to the album with his rough vocals and catchy guitar riffs. It also has my favorite song of all time on which is Dont Drag Me Down. If you like Punk, Rock or even Rockabilly and there is something on here for you. ...

Review of White Light White Heat White Trash - Social Distortion

Distortion of the Social kind.

Advantages: Good solid rock album.
Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit too samey.

...Review ------------------ I first discovered Social Distortion on a video game, of all places. It was on Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX for the Playstation, and the song Don't Drag Me Down hit me like a ton of bricks. I was mesmerised by the raw power, the passion, the blast of the music. I searched on various downloading softwares such as Kazaa, Morpheus, Audiogalaxy, WinMX, etc to find their music. And what I found I loved. I went out and bought 'White ...
...taste of Mr. Mike Ness, Social D's frontman. The album as a whole is very accessible; all the songs are very much guitar-based and quite pacey, but there are lighter, poppy songs in the mix along with dark, brooding songs. Track Listing ------------------ 1. So Far Away 2. Let It Be Me 3. Story Of My Life 4. Sick Boys 5. Ring Of Fire (Johnny Cash cover) 6. Ball And Chain 7. It Coulda Been Me 8. She's A Knockout 9. A Place In My Heart ...

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 ...
