Machine Head (3) - 11-Sep-09 02:22 AM
Wow These guys rock!

Have seen these guys play live a couple of times now, but man they can rock. Well put together guitar solo's, lyrics about something else than b*tches of f*cking, a voice that can both sing soft rock and scream metal and drums that you never forget.
All just as good live as on the albums.

I have to admit, the "Burning Red" album was a lot softer than all other ones, but still a nice album to listen to. You can start introducing Machine Head to your girlfriend with this album before she dumps you for letting her here the other ones. The first album was a bit rough for me, the voice of Robert Flynn was still in development (compare it to one of the latest album and you'll agree), but still it layed the groundwork and directed the style Machine Head wanted to be in.
The "Supercharger" album was a real energizer and the last two, "Trough The Ashes Of Empires" and "The Blackening" will blow you away. Please listen to the tracks "Descend The Shades Of Night" and "Halo", these are my absolute favorite (and not just from Machine Head).

Listen to it, become a fan, see a show and you'll never leave!

Korn - 11-Jun-09 12:51 PM
Korn started out with a sound no-one ever heard before. They got tagged "Nu-Metal" and started a trend many tried to follow. Some bands (like Coal Chamber) came close, but no band managed to get their formula together. Heavy hiphop-based basslines, low tuned guitars and a singer who poors his heart out on stage.

Korn has been under constant fire the last years. The last 4 albums were very different, the band lost 2 members along the way. Most critics say Korn has lost it and the band is falling apart.
I really hate those quick-judging people. Almost every major band has had changing formations. And you shouldn't stamp every album that's different as bad. You should respect that Korn makes the music they themselves want to make and not the record companies or what the fans expect. The single "Y'all want a single say f*ck that" was a clear statement of that.

I'm very glad that Korn is still touring and I know for sure they will blow us away in the near future with a suprisingly good album.
For now we can await the next album where Fieldy and Munky got free hand and we can also hope the rumours about Head's return are true.

Come on!!!!

Pennywise - Live @ The Key Club - 11-Jun-09 11:56 AM
Bought this cd not so much as a fan, but as some band I had heard some songs from and a couple that I liked. After listening to this album, this band blew me away!
Awesome live-performance. Raw, masterquality, you can totally taste the atmosphere that was there the noght of recording.

My advice, buy this album, it is masterly brilliant and your ears will never be the same after listening it!
Probably the best release by Pennywise and the only way to hear them; LIVE!

Iced Earth - Paris 2002 - 07-Mar-09 01:36 AM
What a terrible sound quality!

Bought this bootleg because I'm quite fond of Iced Earth, but man what a bad quality on this one. I'm used to bootlegs having less quality than live albums released by the artists itself, but this one beats them all. The set they played in Paris is a very good one, but it is plain awful due to the recording! A soundboard recording of this live show would have been awsome but this one is definetely not a soundboard recording! I think someone just took a recording device into the audience. My advice is; buy "Alive In Athens" by Iced Earth and leave this one in the stores!

Pyramaze - Immortal - 09-Feb-09 08:10 AM
Pyramaze was unknown to me before this album. Matthew Barlow joined Pyramaze after a period of absence from the music world. He finished this album before going back to Iced Earth. I bought this album hoping it would be something along the lines of Iced Earth and it was. The singing is exactly what we are used from Matt and the music is not exactly the same but somthing along the lines as I hoped for. All and all a very nice album and a must for every Iced Earth fan!
