Disturbed Ten Thousand Fists
Disturbed have always exhibited a straightforward yet functional sound, with Ten Thousand Fists only serving as yet another means to exemplify this. There's some enjoyable material here thanks partially to a select few stronger songs. However, not much is done to keep the listener's interest for the runtime which does, admittedly, begin to drag out before long. Boredom never truly settles in, but a desire for more energy and charisma is only inevitable, which is seldom delivered, if ever.		3

Spineshank The Height of Callousness
Much of the album falls into an indecisive mess with approaches to provide a disorienting edge almost always coming off as overdone and unnecessary. A couple catchy parts make their way into the early part but there's next to nothing truly note-worthy or recommendable about the album.		2

Megadeth Countdown to Extinction
Dave Mustaine takes the straightforward road on Countdown to Extinction and the results, unsurprisingly, are mixed. While it's undoubtedly a good album overall, there just aren't enough truly strong moments present. And given the complex and prestigious quality of its predecessor, finding high points here becomes even tougher, regardless of the more commercial approach taken (for lack of a better term). 		3.5

Creed Human Clay
Human Clay would be an at least slightly enjoyable album if the runtime had been cut down. With twelve songs that wind up being almost completely within the four to six minute range, the weary, derivative sound begins to take its toll by the halfway point. And given most of the songs sound too similar for any sort of true distinction, we're left with a release that's too much, too long and too mediocre for recommendation.		2.5

Sum 41 Chuck
Sum 41 tackling their serious, somewhat more in-depth side brings some rather effective material out. Occasionally calm, other times frantic and generally malcontent in tone, Chuck proves to be a good means to help vent general frustrations without hitting the metal fence. 		3.5

Nightwish Oceanborn
Beautiful and wonderfully crafted, Nightwish's breakthrough showcases the band in wonderful form. Various and, at times, intricate melodies lend way to what can best be described as a blissful addiction of an album. A must for anyone who's even remotely interested in the symphonic/folk metal genre. 		4.5

Boston Boston
Boston's self-titled debut brings a sound that, though relatively straightforward, is often full of energy before slumping in the last few minutes. Brief, fun and casual, this album overcomes its flaws simply thanks to its approachability and almost irresistibly catchy songs.		4
