Live Styles Of The Sick And Shameless - Meteors (The)

Advantages: Very good for the ears
Disadvantages: crap if your not into Psycobilly

...Only been into Psycobilly for a short while, but The Meteors seem to the best about. Past tracks like The wrecking crew will always be an anthem for this type of music. this album is keeping in the style and even a bit more roar. The Meteors are better known for there live act but to keep up with demand they release an album or two over time. and this is deffinatly going to be up there at the top of rockabilly charts if there was such a thing. the meteors will also be playing at this years Speed Freaks ball, for info on this you'll have to search, but do not miss it. If you buy an other Psycobilly or rockabilly album you'll be disapointed you didn't get this one. Buy and rock on you '' sick things''... Read review

What started as a simple acoustic guitar song ended up being recorded live with a full orchestra behind it. Talk about a killer track! Untouchable Face. (Originally on "Dilate") Oh yes, Ani's legendary "Angry Song... Read review

Advantages: Excellent value for money
Disadvantages: More tracks needed!

...The album entitled "The sickness" features a variety of different genres of rock styled music. For example "stupify" the third track on the album gives a happy/angry hardcore rock feel to the album, but the song "Droppin' Plates" show that the lead singer David Draiman has used his music and lyrical talent well. This band have a lot to offer in the album although the cover being evil and sick like the title of the album, the actual content is nothing more than the likes of Korn, or Machine Head. Though the band branches out into a new field because the guitarist also does the electronics fo the songs, enhancing the overall feel. The bass player also does keyboards, although when playing live the band may need to employ further musicians to make it sound like the album, but people who have actually seen them live have credited...
