Specimen Eruption 8. Electric Current 9. Eclectic Manner The first track has become an anthem for fans of the Norwegian metallers. The apocalyptic lyrics and blast beats, as well as Destructhors impressively lightning-fast yet precise guitar work all compete for ...
...of a musical landscape than the songs of Emperor (which share members with Zyklon, and Myrkskog) and has more of a death metal than a black metal feel to it. Trym as a drummer, it could be argued, is the fastest and most innovative. Whilst songs such as "Core Solution" and "Subtle Manipulation" primarily roar death metal at you, the guitar harmonies add a black metal feel to the piece- there is no mistaking Samoth. Some fans see this as a step down ... Read review

Advantages: a few good songs
Disadvantages: nowhere near as good as their old stuff

Iv always been a fan of goldfinger and it had been a while since the release of a new album prior to this one being released. I had been looking forward to a new album as i really liked their new-ish material and thought that the band were getting better and better. When this one came out I downloaded it straight away, I had already listened to a few songs they released on myspace before the release and enjoyed these so I was looking forward to ...
...are only a few good songs on their and some that i just cant stand to listen to. A few of the good songs are really good, though it feels a little bit rushed and a bit like all the songs are of different kind of genres. I put this down to the return of the guitarist who previously left the band as he liked metal music and not punk. He has seemed to have some influence in some of the songs and I feel has let the band down. If you did like this ... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic!
Disadvantages: None spring to mind

Linkin Park's debut album, littered with crunching riffs and memorable lyrics commands the listener to mosh along. There are no other options! There are few words capable of describing this Nu Metallic work of art other than astounding. The other words within my vocabulary that could do the job are unsuitable for minors. 'Hybrid Theory' is such a great album, especially when reflected on today. It was the foundation of a great band's success and ... Read review

Advantages: Inventive lyrics, powerful sounds
Disadvantages: No lyrics for the hidden track

This album is possibly the defining moment of AFI's career. They showed that abstract, poetic lyrics CAN be combined with powerful choruses and AFI-trademark chords plus crashing cymbals. If you're buying this as a surprise present for an 'AFI fan', I suggest you check that they haven't already got it, as most people's love for the band is born out of hearing this album [the CD prior to this - Black Sails In the Sunset - and the CD following it ...

Advantages: Good Songs on this Album
Disadvantages: Nothing at all!

This is the second album of Ram-Zet that I purchased. I have to admit upon first hearing them I kinda thought - what the hell is this weirdness? I listened to them a bit more though and have really got into them, they have a gothic/phsycadellic/metal kind of style, and the female vocalist has an awesome voice which makes the whole thing very unique. I think thier style is very different to anything I've heard before, so they are now in my top favourites! ...
...listen to them the more I seem to like them. This is probably my second favourite album that they have released, my first would have to be "Escape" which is not found on this website's search for some reason. They don't play over in england as far as I know which is a real shame, I would love to see them live ^^ ... Read review
