Hybrid Theory Linkin Park

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...music, their first mainstream album Hybrid Theory was an amazing collection of songs. This album has its own unique style of rock music combining scream singing, rapping and electric percussion. The track listing on this cd is: Papercut This is a great song about paranoia, this song really shows of the talents of all members in the band, it is mostly rapped and one of the best songs on the album. One Step Closer This is another amazing song though ...
...all tastes (like most of this album), this song is about not being able being close to breaking point after taking abuse from someone and taking a stand. With You This song is about not being able to get someone out of your head, even though they are distant and dont want you. This is another really great song on this album. Points of Authority This is a very confident song about taking a stand against some one whos self righteous, this song was ...

Review of Hybrid Theory - Linkin Park

Metallica at their most complexed

Advantages: One of the best albums of it's era.
Disadvantages: Long complexed songs put some people off and the production is not amazing.

...this isn't catchy guitar hooks and sing-a-long choruses. This is one for eshablished Metallica fans only I'd say. If you haven't listened to much Metallica this is probably not a good place to start; however if you like Metallica's earlier album such as 'Kill 'em All' and 'Master Of Puppets' you will more than likely enjoy this. The tracks that really stand out to me are 'Blackened', '...And Justice For All' and 'One'. 'One' is the most famous ...
...his senses during a war and now is trapped unable to communicate with the world. Saying that's the most popular track should give you an idea of what this album is like! Many people have said that the guitars and too buzzy and thin on this album and the drums are too hollow and clicky. Although this is true at times you have to remember the era this album was made in. A time when most metal bands were producing buzzy guitars and clicky drums. This ...

Review of And Justice For All - Metallica

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 - ...

Review of Audioslave - Audioslave

"I'm Breaking The Habit... Tonight!"

Advantages: Great band, great vocals and music
Disadvantages: Screaming gets a bit much

...few of the tracks then Meteora is the place to start. It's full of some fantastic tracks which will really get you going. Well worth buying this album. Hope this helped. Please rate and comment. This work is all my own, please do not copy it, say I've copied it or anything else stupid like that. Most members will understand why. © Kirsty. xx Youtube Videos: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=jWDUFp2kJo : Breaking The Habit http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5hRRKlXnBw0 ...

Review of Meteora [Digipak] [ECD] - Linkin Park

The Real Portrayal of Bullet for my valentine, - The Poison

Advantages: Better than other content
Disadvantages: not many people listen to the older stuff. because they only listen to the song off guitar hero

In my opinion The Poison has outdone Bullet for my Valentines newest album by far, scream aim fire was a bad release and the style has changed completely. The poison has some great songs and they all have great solos vocals instrumentals, and well everything. i highly recommend if you like the newest album to buy the older one, its has a much better range of songs and all of the songs stick to a great independent genre only portrayed by Bullet for ...
...great and very original. its popular for 1 reason, quality. unlike the new album which was made famous by guitar hero, scream aim fire has ruined what i think of bullet for my valentine today and this album is the one that made them great. I highly recommend this album to all the people that have only listened to scream aim fire, its 100's of times better than scream aim fire. ...
