Live in the Lbc & Diamonds in the Rough (W/Dvd)

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Styles
by: Avenged Sevenfold

Release Date September 16, 2008
I will admit I enjoyed the live show, they all sounded good and I found it interesting how they would trade off singing between the parts where lyrical switch overs were too close to cleanly transition. But the additional new songs they had on the CD... I wasn't impressed with any of them really, Until the end was semi-enjoyable but none of the rest really stood out. It just seems like those songs were probably left over choices from their recent self titled album that for whatever reason didn't make the cut. I hope whenever their next full-length album comes out that it does the band better justice.

Rage Against the Machine

by: Rage Against the Machine

Release Date November 10, 1992
Probably the only rap-metal album that honestly qualifies as any good, and definitely the most violently liberal album I've ever heard in my life. Not like I mind, of course. But if you don't agree with the politics, it'll probably hurt your enjoyment of the album. Enough of that, though. The point is that this band is awesome. Especially guitarist Tom Mollero, who comes up with brilliant riffs throughout and throws in all kinds of innovative, crazy solos that don't sound like they're coming from a guitar. The solo on "Killing in the Name" sounds like it could've came from a synthesizer, for instance. The stuff he pulls on "Take the Power Back" sounds like turntable work or something, his solo on "Bullet in the Head" seems a lot like a clavinet, and ... Read More:

I bought this after having only heard one song. It wasn't as good as I had hoped but it rocks pretty hard.

The Sound Of Madness

by: Shinedown

Release Date June 24, 2008
I saw Shinedown on Jay Leno, and it isn't often that a band impresses me. I bought the CD and am very pleased with it. Of course, there are a few songs I don't particularly care for, but the majority of them are really great. I'm glad I made the (small) investment for the CD. It was certainly worth it.

Dear Science,

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Styles
by: TV on the Radio

Release Date September 23, 2008
I pride myself on not falling into the "it doesn't sound like their other stuff" line of criticism when it comes to drastic artistic change, and as TV on the Radio is one of my favorite bands currently in action I have second-guessed my initial off-putting reaction to this album at every turn. But after three and a half listens, I have to say I just can't get into it.

The mantra associated with this album is something along the lines of "experimental art-dance-rock at its best." It's clear the word "dance" was heavy on the band's collective mind while creating these songs. This introduces problem number one: a persistent feeling I can't shake from this record is that the "dance" aspect seems so, so forced. TVOTR's live show is decidedly more manic ... Read More:

The album has a great sound, bringing the 80's style back into things. Enjoyable to listen all the way through.

Shogun(Special Edition CD/DVD)

CD-Charts > Music > Alternative Styles
by: Trivium

Release Date September 30, 2008
I was so looking forward to this release and I am just as depressed.
If you are fan of a vocalist who screams, no need to read any further.
I have always liked the music of Trivium, but the vocals on the earlier albums made them unlistenable. The Crusade was such a big step forward and one of my favorite metal albums. I had hoped they would continue with that trend ala A7X and BFMV - bands that used to scream and not sing.
Sadly, Trivium has gone the other way and now screams more than sings.
Fell free to buy my copy off of Amazon.

Make Yourself

Release Date October 26, 1999
I think this is the best Incubus CD. "Pardon me" and "The warmth" are their best records ever. Everybody should get this CD and listen to their music. Best band ever!!! Love them! These guys are amazing! Great musicians.

The CD is great, but I will never shop at Amazon again. It took over 3 weeks to get 3 cds from California, I live in Reno, NV. Not acceptable!!!
They had them in stock.....
