Every Time I Die are just as sarcastic as ever

Advantages: More innovative then previous albums
Disadvantages: Didn't want it to end

...different musically and vocally The Big Dirty sounds a long the same lines as Gutter Phenomenon, just plain old dirty rock and roll. But yet innovative at the same time. Its faithful to the previous but still moves on to other directions. And yes the cow bell is back! Some might say this bands ego is getting bigger then the band its self, but i think this due to the vocalist (Keith Buckley) cocky but yet sarcastic lyrics. Lines like "Till death do ...
...The title of this album is perfect for this album. Its full of big riffs, big hooks and even bigger breakdowns then before. After the album is finished you feel used and abused, like the morning after a great one night stand, your wanting more but the girl has left. ...

Crazyfists keep getting better and better!!

Advantages: An amazing album, good guitar riffs, amazing vocals as well as awesome drumming!
Disadvantages: vocals maybe a tad less heavy..

Well what can i say, this is one amazing album!! As usual 36 crazyfists have given it all the produce an album that has you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! Every song on the album is of the highest quality, with my personal favourite songs "the black harlow road" "we gave it hell" and "absent are the saints" The singer of 'twelve tribes' Adam Jackson appears on the track "clear the coast" for some brutal guest vocals, as always his ...
...same style crazyfists have always sought to be, melodice metalcore; However there is a definate presence of heavier elements within the music, most notably the guitar work. Quite a bit of the screaming lyrics that Brock lindow does so well have been cut back to allow more of his amazing melodic singing. This album is a definate must have!! 10/10 ...

A Great Album With Extremely Minor Drawbacks.

Advantages: Great songwriting, brilliant lyrics and awesome individual tracks.
Disadvantages: Album's lack of flow.

...42 minutes and 32 seconds, Each Breath Haunted is an album that The Banner can really be proud of. It showcases the best of their ability and upon listening, it is clear to see that they are one of the leading names in their genre. The vocals are harsh, raw and full of emotion. They convey every shred of feeling that Joey Southside has inside of him and as a listener, you can truly feel what he was whilst penning the lyrics. The bass is twangy and ...
...The final track on Each Breath Haunted is 'I Am Legend'. A brilliant song to close the album, as the soft introduction juxtaposes the extremely high intensity of the preceeding 'Tragedy'. Reminiscent of the opening track 'Devilhawks', 'I Am Legend' has a slow clean introduction which gives way to a slow heavy section which then breaks into full speed hardcore. In the genre of hardcore, an truly epic song is hard to come by, but 'I Am Legend' is definitely ...

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 ...

...Track Two Captain Morgans Revenge 5/5 This is a brilliant track, infact it is better than brilliant! I love the guitarring its really catching and the drums are excellent.
