Limp Bizkit'z Best Bitz

Advantages: There are a lot of fine moments here.
Disadvantages: Not all of the album is particularly impressive.

This greatest hits collection from Limp Bizkit was finally released in late 2005. With every band on earth seemingly having a greatest hits album available these days, it was only a matter of time before Limp Bizkit would be issued with one. What I love most about this release is the refusal of the band to spell 'Hits' with its correct ending of an 's'. Through spelling it with a 'z', Limp Bizkit are being highly original and Fred Durst continues ...
...This greatest hits collection from Limp Bizkit is definitely an album that I would recommend. The album spans the first four albums of the band; Three Dollar Bill Yall$, Significant Other, Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water, and Results May Vary. The first three of these albums I was a great fan of, the fourth I paid little attention to at all when it was released, but most of this album is greatly impressive and whilst there are a ...

Review of Greatest Hitz (Parental Advisory) [PA] - Limp Bizkit

Papa Roach soften the rock

Advantages: Polished hooks, many accessible songs, impressive singing
Disadvantages: Too many ballads, lots of soft rock, feels contrived and forced

...The album is titled Paramour Sessions and comes from the fact that the album was recorded in the Paramour studios and according to the band members the place holds a very weird ambience where spirits can be felt. I don't know about how true this is but it is what inspired them to produce this album in the way they have. However the important thing is how does the album sound? well it is certainly a far departure from their previous album Getting ...
...ways, packed with aggression but melody. Whereas this album is very polished, perhaps too polished. I can understand why this album might be highly liked there are a mixture of songs on here from quite heavy rock to essentially rock balladry. The lead singer is a very good singer and clearly is able to handle the demands of a ballad. The hooks are quite catchy and the guitar and drums serve as a good back drop to the crooning but it feels extremely ...

Papa Roach getting away with murder

Advantages: great consistency
Disadvantages: none

Papa Roach Getting away with murder The third album… Blood (Empty promises) 02:55 This is a brilliant opening Track for this album it has a brilliant rhythm and an awesome beat. The vocals could not be better and the lyrics are easy to memorize. Not listening 03:09 These are amazing lyrics and it's put in with a great rhythm it gets your head nodding along with it too. The vocals are awesome its fitted with the rhythm, in most songs the vocals ...
...too it was awesome. Getting away with murder 03:12 This has a deeper tone to the others and you can hear the bass line in the background which is brilliant because in most songs you don't hear the bass its just there as another beat which you can't hear. So yeah I think its great they got the bass heard in this track. Be free 03:17 This starts off with a cool beat to it. The vocals lack a little in this one but they do pick up at the chorus. ...

Review of Getting Away With Murder [ECD] - Papa Roach

Siren Song for Melodic Hardcore

Advantages: every song a great one, fairly unique style
Disadvantages: none!

...I can think of. Siren Song of the Counter Culture is Rise Against's second-latest (at time of writing) album, released in 2004, and is the first album with which they gained popularity. Tracklist is: 1."State Of The Union" 2."The First Drop" 3."Life Less Frightening" 4."Paper Wings" 5."Blood To Bleed" 6."To Them These Streets Belong" 7."Tip The Scales" 8."Anywhere But Here" 9."Give It All" 10."Dancing For Rain" 11."Swing Life Away" 12."Rumors ...
...has a total playing time of 42 minutes. The album opens with the aforementioned political tirade in State of the Union. This is a very fast-paced and aggressive song, with a distinctive guitar riff throughout, and speaks of a "war torn country still a mess". From here it slows down a bit, with The First Drop (which was the first recorded Rise Against song I heard). This is a more gentle song, for hardcore punk anyway. Another political song, "This ...

Review of Siren Song Of The Counter Culture (Special Edition) - Rise Against

Best solo cd

Advantages: fresh sound in 98, great mixing of synth, samples and true instruments
Disadvantages: Not long enough

The first installment of rob zombies solo career. A solo career that has much more potential then that of white zombie. Rob zombie is a mix of heavy conventional beats, synthetic sounds and sampled sound clips which in 1998 was a refreshing introduction to mainstream as one needed to know the underground seen quite well to find the same type of sounds. this cd features 13 tracks some notables being superbeast, dragula, living dead girl, phantom ...
...some are much softer such as spook show baby letting strings and tom drums be heard rather then the normal distortion pedal and synthesizer. In truth if you like heavier music this is the rob zombie cd for you as it only has a touch of industrial and electronic to it and every subsequent cd has gone further towards being industrial. ...
