[QUOTE=Per Ardua Ad Astra]That's not speed metal.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, it definately is.

[B][U]Korn - Excuse Me[/U] [/B]
Has a weird intro like most korn songs I've herd. Followed by a heavy riff for Korn which develops into quite a nice riff. A weird but nice riff. The vocals kick in after going a bit more basic. He sounds alot different from the other korn i've herd. Even Worse than usual :eek: ! It then breaks down into more heavier riffs followed by some more random screams. Then breaks down into an outro where they slow down and fade out. What a terrible ending!

Overall, a very repetitive and terrible song. But, what do you expect it's Korn! :thumb:

Muse - Megalomania

A band I've heard tons about on these forums, I decided to finally give them a chance. Starts off with a calming synth intro, followed soon by a simple but effective drum beat and some nice acoustic guitar. The vocals come in soon after, and I'm liking what I hear so far. After a few quiet lines, the volume is kicked up and some organs come in to play. The drums get harder, and the vocals really shine during this part of the song, sounding especially haunting. I was trying to think of someone to compare him to, but I was drawing a total blank. The closest I could get was that the buildup reminded me somewhat of the Dresden Dolls. Soon after, it gets quiet again, simple drum beat and quiet singing. I am really enjoying the vocals on this song, and I like the singer's range. There's yet another buildup, followed by some absolutely incredible singing. Then the song ends on a final note from the organs. My first experience with Muse, I had no idea what to expect, but they definitely made a good impression. I plan to look into more of them soon.

The reason the singing sounded different was because it was before Jon joined the band.

Crap. I just wrote the whole review then deleted it. Oh well.

1349 - Pitch Black

I like the way it all fits togeth in terms of sound. I like the riff. It's a shame there's only one to be heard whether because of song writing or production just blends them. The vocals I like. Excellent black metal vocals. The production is my biggest complaint. I don't like repetition either but production really kills this. I know it's not supposed to be perfect but better than this would be nice. The drummer seems more focused on speed than skill. He's nothing special from what else there is out there. Not a bad drummer though. He has the most audible changes in what he does, excluding the vocals. The bass is nowhere to be heard. I think overall I prefer the symphonic or avant garde brand of black metal. I'll look for more but not from this band.

DEP - When Good Dogs Do Bad Things

I downloaded this track as a movement to give DEP another chance, having heard some of their older work long ago and not really liked it. My tastes have grown more extreme since my last Dillinger experience, so I didn't dismiss them immediatly this time. The first minute and the very last few seconds of the song sounded the same to me as Dillinger always has, and failed to impress me. Most of the disjointed riffs aren't very interesting, but they'll throw in a good one here or they to have me say 'Oh, oh, please capitalize on that!' before going back into plugging away. There are good points to this song in particular - the quieter section in the middle of the song and the outbursts that came from it were both executed excellently. The vocalist stood out to me, as well.

This was a well constructed song, but I still can't say I'm very interested in DEP's schtick on the whole. 6/10

It's funny you should complain about 1349's production FastFingers, they have alot better production than most BM bands I listen to :lol:

But they are an awesome band, one of my favorites.

Meh. I don't mind bad production but when it makes it hard to understand what's happening then I get annoyed. Probably just takes getting used to.

The production is a big part of the music in black metal, I like it to have a really biting, hissing guitar tone, like Ulver or Darkthrone. The drums shouldn't be too far in the front either.

I got into black metal with Mayhem. I suggest you pick up De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas, it is a classic, one of the greatest recordings of all time.

As much as i love mayhem and that album, i will have to disagree its one of the greatest recordings of all time.

Ok, dibs then.

Dibs Pearl Jam-Alive

Pearl Jam-Alive

This was a great song, I have always liked Pearl Jam and I think this must be one of their best that I have heard. Eddie Vedder, in my opinion has an amazing voice, and this song definitely showcases that. The guitar riff is catchy and keeps my interest throughout the whole song.

Overall Grade: 9/10

Lamb of God- Pariah (thrash metal)
Dream Theater- Metropolis part 1 (prog. metal/rock)

Led Zeppelin - The Lemon Song (Classic Rock/Blues)

The song starts out with a nice riff that seems actually tasteful (most Zeppelin I've heard was showing off), and then the bassline comes in (I really like the bass in this song, John Paul Jones is the only non overrated member of the band).

So Robert Plant starts his annoying high pitched screach, or so I thought he would, then he sounds more along the lines of a mixture of Chris Cornell (sp? can't think) and Anders Friden. He does each line with A loud and and enlongated phrase, then he goes quieter and repeats, truly entertaining and enjoyable. Then the song speeds up for a while, it's more of the showing off Zepplin, but JPJ makes it enjoyable, cause the bassline gets even better. Then there is another part like the beginning, except this time Jimmy Page plays the awesome guitar he's known for, that I thought was a myth, btw the solo owns, and then Robert starts saying Hey over and over again, followed by Baby, and the drums get a little better, the solo picks up, and then what do ya know? The fast part again!

Overall this is one of the best Zeppelin songs I've heard, it has actually redeemed them in my eyes.

10/10

My suggestions:

Grey Daze - What's In The Eye (Rock) [url]www.pushmeaway.com[/url], it's in the MP3 section at the bottem, in the Grey Daze sub-section.
Simplistic. - High (Alternative) go to the website - [url]www.simplistic.com[/url]
Beck - Where It's At (Alternative)

Neither of those links work, and I've heard the Beck song.

[B]Black Sabbath - Fairies Wear Boots[/B]

Sounds good! The songs starts with a metal lick and then the second guitar comes in with a simple lriff. The bass is active and sounds great. The guitar breaks out into a solo. But then goes into the power chords and Ozzy joins in shortly after. It sounds really bluesy in my opinion. Like blues and hard rock. It's cool though! The solo is modest and stays true to the song (which is great). Then it goes into a heavier portion of the song. Ozzys vocals sound great. Then song ends in a metal lick that fades. The song changes from more of a metal sound to more of a blues sound. They pull it off though. Good song!

I would really like to see what someone thinks of Bruce Dickinsons solo project when he left Maiden for a bit.
