Technical, Melodic, Brutal with a touch of class. Its a definite reccomend to metalers of most genres. Pushing the boundaries of metal not out, but up. |

| Rage Against The Machine's album consists of the same generic RATM sound the bass lines are awesome. But eh The vocals are just annoying and the guitar is not too special. Ill admit "bombtrack" and "Take the power back" is the albums ups other than that the album is pretty average. |

| Classic System of a Down EP. It is my opinion that there should have been less covers and more originals.However the use of expressive techniques in "Snowblind" and "Metro" give this EP a higher appeal to musicians and SOAD fans Everywhere.This EP looks more like a money maker than anything else. |
| Flyleaf Flyleaf | 2.5 |
| Serj Tankian Elect the Dead | 2.0 |
Serj's "Elect The Dead" is hard to catorgorise a specific genre, although you can see the System Of A Down influence to the album. I wouldn't suggest buying it , I found it a One Time Listen.
Everybody looks Forward to hearing Serj Tankian's Vocals but the rest of the music brings its standard right down.You might as well be listening to the Highly political and influential SOAD.

| Trivium's "Ascendancy" is the basic commercially sold generic metal. Same Basic Riffs that draw the same crowds to gigs.Same Vocals that make them generic and the guitar solos that draw other guitarists towards them. It is hard to compare these guys to the title of "the New Metallica" they have potential but their just hard to be seen going that way. |

| Three Days Grace's "one X" is definitely the same generic rock-grunge peice with basic riffs,melody lines and the vocals are developed off the same basic theme(dark, emo whatever you want to call it). However its not a complete waste of listening time with the interesting effects and harmony between the acoustic guitars and the vocals.Simple but it works. |

| LoG has developed both lyrically and musically. This album shows a hightened sense of catchiness, incorporating hook lines into songs particulary "Now You've Got Something To Die For" and the production of this album are better. I reccomend this to mettalers looking for a brutal and dirty sound. |

All I can Say Is what technique if anybody can match the guitar hitting goddess GABRIELA I'll want to shake their hands, that is an interesting method of rhythm guitar. While Rodrigo's melody lines seem to be rapid and highly technical they are not his melody lines are made off simple chord and arpeggio patterns that work perfectly with the other peices.Recomended tracks include the Led Zeppelin cover of
"Stairway To Heaven",and also "Tamacun","Diablo Rojo",
"Juan Loco". This album is a must hear for for guitarists or those who just find this style interesting. |
