Hard Rock Like A Stone

Advantages: Some rocking riffs, strong vocals
Disadvantages: Lengthy, hardly any changes in tempo, unnecessary Morello intros

...and the forming of supergroup Audioslave with hard rock vocalist Chris Cornell, perhaps he then wanted to write grate songs which, "should rock rocking-chairs and send people to sleep". As with the Rage Against The Machines records, only the guitar, bass, drum and vocals make up the sounds in Audioslave's self-titled debut. The hard-rock riffing remains, but whilst Tom Morello does strum some chords, these are not so noteworthy as the guitar intros, ...
...The Highway' start off with sounds similar to an helicopter and an organ respectively. But those for 'Set It Off', 'Hypnotize' and 'Light My Way' do not hit the same heights and are perhaps a trick too far - the latter two are perhaps the weakest tracks for me, and it's not as if the album wasn't already long enough (just over an hour). Chris Cornell is at his best when belting out notes - such power allows him to bypass the nasally head voice - ...

Korns Greatest Hits!

Advantages: It sounds great
Disadvantages: None

Korns greatest hits. What can i say! even if you are not a korn fan you will most probably recognise a lot of the songs as they are remakes. They do however, make a fantastic job of making the music sound unbelievable. I am a great fan of rock n roll so Korn has everything a rock n roll fan could ask for! The first time i saw Korn live was at Leeds festival this year and they sounded great. I am off to see them again soon in Manchester. Back to ...
...(if not all) of Korns greatest ever songs. The CD was released in October 2004 The album works backwards, from their most current work ("y'all want a single") to their very first single ("blind"). The album contains 19 tracks, and three of those are extra songs, including a remix of "freak on a leash." At first, I thought it'd be better for them to start with their earliest work and then go from there, as you'd be able to see how much their music ...

Review of Greatest Hits Vol.1 (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Korn

Great!!

Advantages: Sounds great, Best album yet
Disadvantages: None

This album has to be the best album mudvayne have recorded. After and average album 'The end of all things to come' This needed to be somthing special and special itis. From the opening track the tempo is pumping and always gets you moving. Great guitars throughout the album, clear and powerfull, immense bass lines from the greatest bass player in the world surely and great rhythms with the drums and powerfull vocals. My fave track on the album Is ...
...great video to match. This album has only been released and proved to be a huge sucess in america reaching number 2 in the billboard charts. Sadly did not do so well over here in the uk, But what does that matter? If your into Mudvayne on this genre of music then go buy this album you will not be dissapointed. This album when listening to it sounds alot like thier older stuff, like the LD.50 album, but with words that you can hear for the mostpart ...

Review of Lost And Found (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Mudvayne

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 Rage Against The Machine - Rage Against The Machine

KoRn...ish pasty? Best I could come up with...

Advantages: Their best album in my opinion, really heavy and flows together.
Disadvantages: May be hard to get into first time, but that is probably the point of the album

...class this as my top KoRn album, it's a classic especially as it's their first album and a must for any KoRn fan. After saying all that I would say it is not a very accessible album, and definitely takes a few listens. I'm not sure how much this would appeal to fans of the newer stuff because as I've said it's completely different style of music and very unique. The style is very heavy and slow and an eerie sort of singing. It's one of those albums ...
...to get the full effect of the album, and it has some really great songs on it. Stand-out songs for me would be Blind, Ball Tongue and Daddy. This is why for me it is their best album because every song is great and cannot be dropped as it all flows together. ...
