Two (2) - Voyeurs May 10, 2011 (edited about 1 year ago)
1998 was a important year for vocalist Rob Halford. It was the year, that after years of speculation he chose to come out of the closet and announced (on MTV nonetheless) that he has been gay his entire life. This was hardly something fans of the 'metal god' raised their eyebrows at, however 1998 also marked the release of "Voyeurs", the first and only album Halford's new project entitled Two (or '2wo' as the band logo looks like) would release. Different from both Halford's previous bands, the classic heavy metal band Judas Priest and the groove-metal sounding Fight, Two had Rob Halford experimenting with a industrial sound, going as far as having Nine Inch Nails mainman Trent Reznor producing the album and John Lowery (that later became known as John 5 when he joined Marilyn Manson) handling the guitar duties. The end result is a pretty unique mix of Halford's vocals and heavy industrial guitar riffs, however the fans were not too impressed by it as the album sold poorly and the music video for the first single "I Am A Pig" (that was very S&M themed) got very little rotation. Still "Voyeurs" contains some good tracks, however there were a lot of bands at the time that did the industrial thing better and Halford's vocals works better when he does his trademark high-pitched screams than the talk-like singing he does on this album.
Moby - Extreme Ways Dec 07, 2010
"Extreme Ways" is the second single from Moby's album "18" and this is the UK CD single release. The title track (known by many as the ending music from all three Jason Bourne movies) is one of the best songs off the album and possibly one of Moby's best songs ever. This release features the album version of "Extreme Ways" and a enhanced music video for it that can be played on your computer. However the two b-sides on the disc, "Love Of Strings" and "Life's So Sweet" start off pretty sweet and mellow but goes on for way too long (both being longer than 6 minutes each) and are way too repetitive so you might get bored with them quickly. If you still feel a need to get the b-sides you can pick up the "18 B Sides + DVD" release (that also got the music video for "Extreme Ways") instead of this as this single is only worth picking up for Moby collectors.
This one track promotional single was released to promote the Limp Bizkit remix album "New Old Songs" in 2001. While most of the remixes on the album were brand new for the album, this "Faith" remix was nothing new to Limp Bizkit fans. It was released back in 1999 on the "WCW Mayhem: The Music" compilation, but then simply called "Faith (Remix)", now it's called "Faith / Fame" (thanks to the sample of David Bowie's song "Fame"). The song is remixed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and producer Josh Abraham and feature former House Of Pain frontman Everlast on a short rap verse. Musically the remix is a lot softer than the original version, totally cutting out Fred's screaming vocals in the chorus and replaces them with soft singing ones. Everlast rap verse is ok, but you can tell that he doesn't bring his 'a game' for it. But in the end, I like this remix and how they took the song to a whole other direction from their original album version, it's one of the few highlights on the "New Old Songs" album. Of course this promo single is hard to find and only worth picking up for Limp Bizkit collectors, but check out the remix itself if you haven't already.
F.U.C.K. is what Bloodhound Gang's song "Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo" is all about, it's about putting a man's "you-know-what" in a woman's "you-know-where" and that is pretty much what you get from the lyrics of the song, but from Bloodhound Gang, what do you expect? On this first single from 2005's album "Hefty Fine" you get three versions of the song. First the normal album version, and the song will not disappoint Bloodhound Gang fans, music wise it's kind off in the style of "The Ballad Of Chasey Lain" and "Along Comes Mary". Two remixes are featured on the single as well, one made by Jason Nevins, the guy that was hot stuff back in the late 90's making remixes for RUN DMC, Cypress Hill, Janet Jackson, House of Pain and many more. the Nevins remix is pretty good adding a dance beat to the song. The last track remixed by M.I.K.E. cuts out all lyrics except the chorus and the music is a typical techno beat, and clocking in at 8 minutes it becomes really boring. Also enhanced on the CD single is the video for the song, starring the band and Bam Margera of Jackass / Viva La Bam fame driving around in a banana mobile, me personally can't stand Bam that little brat, but if you do I guess the video is a plus.
Run DMC* - Crown Royal Nov 29, 2009 (edited over 2 years ago)
This promo single is a one track megamix of five songs from what would be RUN DMC's last official studio album as the group retired after the horrible death of DJ Jam Master Jay in October of 2002. The songs "It's Over" featuring Jermaine Dupri of So So Def, "Queens Day" featuring Nas and Prodigy of Mobb Deep (however on this promo single Prodigy's verse is cut off) , "Rock Show" featuring Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins (the song that also served as the official first single), "Them Girls" featuring Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and "Let's Stay Together (Together Forever)" featuring R&B group Jagged Edge are all jammed into a 7 minute mix. Perhaps this is not the best mixjob ever, but it serves it's purpose as a good representation of the "Crown Royal" album.
