Hatebreed – For the Lions Reviews

admin — Sun, 23 Aug 2009 17:25:48 +0000

The songs on “For The Lions” were carefully selected by HATEBREED to represent a panoramic view of some of their favorite artists and greatest musical inspirations. Having completed the album in 2008, the band felt their work wasn’t done yet and returned to the studio with original guitar player Wayne Lozinak to record additional tracks for the album. The resulting 18 songs featured on the album cover a wide array of influences including Metallica, Sick Of It All, Slayer, Bad Brain (more…)

Killswitch Engage – As Daylight Dies Reviews

From the Artist
There’s definitely some urgency in the album, and a lot of that comes from my feeling there’s so little time to do all the stuff we can to make a difference, Jones explains. Just look at the way the world is – it’s just hard to fathom some of the stuff that’s happening out there, some of the atrocities. As for whether this is a `political’ record, it’s there in black and white – I’ll let people judge for themselves; but I think if there’s any kind of statement (more…)

The highly anticipated debut features Hank III who wrote, performed and produced everything on the record. The self-titled album personifies the split in the psyche of the singer/guitarist/songwriter/producer who last year released the psych-country album Damn Right, Rebel Proud.

Def Leppard – Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection Reviews

admin — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 12:36:42 +0000

While many of their peers were abandoning ’70s metal and arena rock to hop the punk/new wave bandwagon, Def Leppard smartly stripped the earlier era’s music of its excesses, bolstered it with energetic, pop-savvy hooks and quickly found itself the vanguard of the UK’s new metal revival and one of the ’80s most spectacularly successful rock acts. The first disc of this 35-track, two-and-a-half hour double-disc retrospective focuses on the familiar hits of their early MTV, platinum-s (more…)

Aerosmith – O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits Reviews

admin — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 18:22:12 +0000

Over a remarkable 30 years, Aerosmith has delivered near-perfect hybrids of rock and balladry, converting generations of listeners into devout fanatics. O, Yeah! Ultimate Aerosmith Hits drives chronologically through 30 of their best songs, providing a tour of the construction process. And what a process! Listen to “Mama Kin” and you might not recognize Aerosmith at all–here is a young Tyler, before finding his distinctive gritty wail, fronting a simple blues-bar band. But the phe (more…)

Queen – Queen – Greatest Hits, Vols. 1 &2 Reviews

admin — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 13:28:21 +0000

essential recording
Queen brought a whole new meaning to the phrase over the top. While rock & roll flamboyance stretched back at least as far as Little Richard, Freddie Mercury continued to camp it up, taking little seriously and smirking at the music’s growing pretensions while partaking in them no small bit. Many of the band’s singles hold up extremely well, later tracks such as “Hammer to Fall” as much as prime-era numbers such as “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Killer Queen,” and “You’r (more…)

Queen – Greatest Hits I, II & III – The Platinum Collection Reviews

admin — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 23:43:30 +0000

What once seemed Queen’s greatest liabilities–a preening flamboyance and pompous, overwrought theatricality–have ironically become their most enduring charms in a gray, postmodern pop-music landscape. While it eschews the glammy, pre-punk hard rock of live faves like “Stone Cold Crazy” and “Tie Your Mother Down” for the band’s more quirky club-beat string of latter-day hits, this 51-track triple-CD anthology goes a long way toward documenting the true dimensions of the band’s mus (more…)
