| Don't usually like this type of music, but this is great. A chilling tale told with the usual screamed/shouted vocals and good lyrics. I also like the atmosphere the guitarists create. |
| Deftones Diamond Eyes |
| Enter Shikari Take to the Skies |
There's something about the hypnotic mess of manic hardcore -- complete with a distinctive
techno atmosphere and pretty harmonies (Adieu rules) -- that keeps my inner 14-year-old self
coming back to this. |

| Thin Lizzy Nightlife |
| "Just a slight guitar injection", a cool Phil Lynott shouts in Nightlife's opening track, right before we get a first taste of the twin-guitar harmonies that defined Lizzy's career. In comparison to later releases, Nightlife is best described as laid-back, but it is a gem of an album in a discography that is largely underrated. |

| Duff McKagan's Loaded The Taking |
| Most of the tracks on 'The Taking' punch you in the face with their hard rock-meets-grunge approach, helped by the low-end production. It's the commercial tracks (e.g. "We Win" SPEW) that let this down. |

| James Iha Let It Come Down |
| After hearing 'Take me down' from Mellon collie I had to hear this. Granted, nothing here really sounds like that song, or any other song in the Pumpkins' discography for that matter. But it's a pleasant record full of sunny, country-tinged, 70s soft rock. |
| John Mayer Battle Studies |
| Lil Ugly Mane MISTA THUG ISOLATION |
| Living With Lions Holy Shit |
Pretty much pop punk we've all heard before. But the vocalist weaves some nice melodies into
the reverb-dipped, flat sounding production (when he's not grunting).. and I just like
listening to it. |

| Sithu Aye Cassini |
| It is in the second half of the album -as its true prog colours are shown- where Cassini shines. The first half falls victim to pedictable song structures and downtuned riffs that chug, chug, chug. EXCELLENT guitar work, though, and the fact that pretty much all of this was done by one guy amazes me! |
| Sithu Aye Invent the Universe |
| another solid release from Sithu Aye, even if some of those riffs and jazzy interludes are losing their punch. |
| Slipknot All Hope Is Gone |
| Stone Sour Come What(ever) May |
| Stoned Jesus Seven Thunders Roar |
| Sylosis Edge of the Earth |
| Sylosis have crafted what is an excellent piece of modern thrash metal here, possessing an instrumental section that is almost flawless to listen to. The album does, however, run for 70+ minutes - way longer than it should, and the vocals occasionally come off as weak in comparison to the rest of the band. With a few minor tweaks, these guys will be putting out a classic in the near future - no doubt. Heads up for a new album in the works....Safe! |
