I hate......slow songs.....oh yeah

Advantages: Good grief it's loud
Disadvantages: It won't be for everyone

Kyuss were a band from Southern California, who where one of a number of very heavy US rock bands getting a break in the post-Nirvana era. Nowadays they are more famous for having spawned Queens Of The Stone Age, because guitarist Josh Homme and bassist/singer Nick Oliveri went on to form that band and had huge success with it too. Here though in 1992, together with drummer Brant Bjork and lead singer John Garcia, they put down a blueprint for what ...
...rock is just very heavy rock music taken even further by the post-grunge favoured method of downtuning guitars and slowing it all down to neanderthal beats. Josh Homme takes it even a step more heavier by playing lead guitar through a 400 watt bass head, giving a very distorted and throbbing distinctive sound. The band became very popular at twilight desert concerts, where the youth would gather around car headlights, listen to their music and presumably ...

Review of Blues For The Red Sun - Kyuss

Not as Supercharged as you are led to believe

Advantages: Classic track 'Bulldozer' & 4 bonus tracks, good production job
Disadvantages: By far the worst Machine Head Album let down by weak lyrical content

...it!!! Tracklisting for Supercharger (Digipak) as follows: 1. Declaration 2. Bulldozer 3. White-Knuckle Blackout! 4. Crashing Around Your 5. Kick You When You Are Down 6. Only The Names 7. All In Your Head 8. American High 9. Brown Acid 10. Nausea 11. Blank Generation 12. Trephination 13. Deafening Silence 14. Supercharger 15. Hole In The Sky* 16. Ten Fold* 17. The Blood, The Sweat, The Tears (Live)* 18. Desire To Fire (Live)* * ...
...with 1 star, had the bonus tracks not been available. They make you realise just how good the band are barring maybe 'Ten Fold'. There is nothing wrong with the production on 'Supercharger', the album from a sound perspective is perfect. It's just the bad directions some of the music takes, and some of the smaller things in some of the tracks that sadly ruins what could have been, and promised to be a great Machine Head album. ...

Review of Supercharger (Limited Edition) [Digipak] - Machine Head

Carcuss - Choice Cuts. Best cuts or discount cuts?

Advantages: Good all round selection for people new to the band
Disadvantages: Nothing new for fans of the band

Choice Cuts is a best of album, taking songs from a wide selection of the bands history. You will find some of the early Grind stuff but it mainly consists of the newer more melodic output. Being a Carcass fan I have most of the Album based tracks already, and none of these are actually re-recorded or re-mastered. The Peel Sessions are of a very raw sound quality, and may not be for everyone. The amount of rarities that are out there for this band ...
...this compilation, rather than the few pickings here. This would be a good CD for people new to Carcass and are looking for a nice sample from various parts of there history, as for long time fans, you can skip this as it contains very little you don't already have bar a few interviews and some other hard to find bits and bobs, most of which could be found on video site like youtube or something. ...

Review of Choice Cuts [Remastered] - Carcass

A Reunion you wish you were at

Advantages: Brillant tracks
Disadvantages: Cardboard case

Black Sabbath released the Reunion CD in 1998, shortly after the band reformed with the original line up of Ozzy Osbourne, Toni Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. Packaging. The CD case is black (suprise suprise) with a pair of Gothic garloil children holding the bands name. sadly the case is cardboard and can easily be scratched and damaged. Full track listings complete with timings are included. The double CD's are backed by pictures of the ...

Review of Reunion (Limited Edition) - Black Sabbath

the ozzman cometh

Advantages: a bit of everything
Disadvantages: never say die left off the album

If your a fan of the prince of darkness himself then this is an album any metal fan out there should not be without.An album of sheer quality all the way through and one that propels this amazing man in my view to the top of the metal tree.i have been a fan of various heavy metal since i was a lad and i own hundreds of albums of this genre among many more of other genres.i still often find myself putting this album on and playing it loud because ...
...songs of pure magic by ozzy as a solo artist and with black sabbath make a a great mix of dark satantic to a surprising mellow ozzy. the old favourites are all there with the likes of black sabbath,crazy train,mr crowley,bark at the moon,war pigs and the brilliant live version of paranoid with randy rhoads on lead guitar.you also get the other side of ozzy with songs like goodbye to romance and i just want you showing the versitility of the man.this ...
