the best in town , a new high for the blackout

Advantages: delivers some awesome songs and an overall great sound
Disadvantages: a few bad songs thrown in

the best in town is the second full album released by the welsh post hardcore band , the blackout. Having listened to the previous album i had high hopes for the album although this is the first album on their new record label Epitah so my concern was that they would keep the right formula. The unique 6 member band fshowcase welsh talent for post hardcore rock music, their real unique feature is that of two singers for screaming and melodies which ...
...This album , the best in town proves to me that the success of the first full album was no fluke delivering a powerfull sound with heavy guitar riffs and scorching screamo amongst the melodic singing. The addition of a guest singer who is the lead singer of youmeatsix was also a pleasent surpirse when listening to the album. Tracklist: 1.Shut-the-fuck-uppercut This is a fantastic start to the album and they start with how they mean to go on. A bang ...

Destroy All Monsters

Advantages: Loads of classics
Disadvantages: 1 track (She's All That)

For a band that have been going for nearly twenty years, The Wildhearts have never really managed to gain the recognition that they truly deserve. The band have split up and got back together many times and been through more than their fair share of drug and alcohol related problems with style. However, after the release of their live album, The Wildhearts Strike Back, and revealing that they would never take to the stage again it looks like they've ...
...and frontman, Ginger, has announced that the band are now free and clean of their problems and are fresher and more revived than ever before, which is clearly indicated by their 2007 self titled album. The album kicks off in true Wildhearts style with Rooting For The Bad Guy, an extremely long track made up of awesomely original and headbangingly powerful melodic guitar riffs and really takes you on a new fresh sounding journey into the depths of ...

Wrapped up in Alice's Web.

Advantages: Alice Cooper Still rocking out !
Disadvantages: None for me.

Along Came A Spider Alice Cooper the legend of rock has released his 25th studio album 'Along Came a Spider'. This is his highest charting album since his album 'Hey Stoopid' charting at #31 in the UK. This album as with most of Alice's does have a couple of guest appearances on it firstly Slash ex Guns n' Roses and Velvet Revolver guitarist who plays on track 2 "Vengeance Is Mine" , and Ozzy Osbourne who believe it or not does ...
...on track 3 "Wake the Dead" . Both of these artists are also featured on Alice's album "Hey Stoopid" where they appeared on the title track. Being a huge Alice Cooper fan for some years now and having all of his albums to date, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this album. Despite his age Alice is still able to out rock the best of them. The album is a concept style album with a strong theme running throughout the song lyrics. It tells the ...

Get on board the Rock 'n' Roll Train!

Advantages: Trademark, traditional AC/DC
Disadvantages: None

...a few 'slower' tracks on Black Ice, but then again the guys are getting on! However, it is still typical AC/DC with the brilliant pounding rhythm's and still contains Brian Johnson's screaming vocal, although as I pointed out earlier, you do see a 'softer' side to his voice on this album, where he injects a little bit of soul into his vocals and has never sounded better! 'Big Jack' is a big song which is certain to be a crowd pleaser on tour if played ...
...Dream Rocking All The Way Black Ice Within a week of its release, Black Ice had shipped 5,000,000 copies worldwide and made its debut at No.1 in the UK album charts. The band announced a worldwide tour which commenced last year and is continuing right through 2009. Tickets for the concerts were snapped up within minutes of release, and I was lucky enough to be able to purchase tickets online, seconds after their release, (and with much refreshing ...

GaGa still brings the Excitement!

Advantages: 8 Great different sounding tracks
Disadvantages: Always leaves you wanting more & then you have to wait for her next masterpiece album.

...her earlier stuff on The Fame album. It reminds me of a summer track, listening to it whilst just chilling on the beach. It's not as catchy as the other songs but it does bring something different to this album. 8) Teeth - To be honest when i first listened to this song i thought 'What the Hell is she doing?!?' Its hard to describe this song. It reminds me of a song that would be performed in a cabaret bar and it really is an old-fashioned number. ...
...Dangerous album. He uses old school beats and strange sounding vocals to create a unique song for Lady GaGa. After a few listens to this song i found myself clicking my fingers and tapping my feet to the beat. I'm looking forward to seeing her perform this live when i go see her in concert in 2010. The album booklet is a simple black 14 page booklet which includes the lyrics to all the songs. There is also 3 pictures of Lady Gaga in her typical ...
