Metal Reviews

BUMP.

1. Motorhead - Built for Speed. Great song from my favorite 'Head album.
2. Gothmog - The Awakening of Lord Strigoi. I really dig this band.
3. Dimmu Borgir - For All Tid. Good song from a really underrated album.
4. Finntroll - Slaget vid Blodsalv. One of the most frantic Finntroll songs. I love it.
5. Hypocrisy - The Quest. Epic stuff, I need to listen to this band more.
6. Paradox - Saviour. Great stuff if the mood strikes me right, but I don't listen to this band that often.
7. Borknagar - My Domain. Good song, really cool album.
8. Naglfar - None Shall be Spared. Neat black metal, but a bit overpolished, IMO.
9. Devin Townsend Project - Winter. It's freakin' Devin Townsend, yo.
10. Edguy - Save Me. Good album, but shit song. Next!
11. Sodom - Minejumper. Oh fuck yes. My favorite Sodom album, probably.
12. Black Sabbath - Lady Evil. Needs no comment. Awesome shit.
13. Doom - Stop-Gap. Everything this band does is great.
14. Toxic Holocaust - Send Them to Hell. Probably the best new thrash band around. I love it.
15. Darkthrone - Quintessence. Now that's a motherfuckin' riff.
16. Darkthrone - Death Minus (Death of all Oaths). More Darkthrone? Yes please! Great riffs, again.
17. Ensiferum - Iron. Now this is some fuckin' folk metal for you. One of the band's best songs from their best album.
18. 3 Headed Monster - Ultimate Rage. Cool instrumental power metal. I should review this.
19. Gamma Ray - Rising Again. Meh. Just a 27 second interlude. Great album, though.
20. Seventh Avenue - Hands of the King. Love that melody.
21. Mortification - The Majestic Infiltration of the Order. Brutal death metal, a la Effigy-era Suffocation. Awesome.
22. Borknagar - Presence is Ominous Vortex!!
23. Seventh Avenue - Carol. Not this band's best, but a fine song nonetheless.
24. Absu - The Cognate House of Courtly Witches Lies West of County Meath. Well that's a mouthful. But this song / album is fantastic.
25. Seventh Avenue - Raging Fire. Why so much SA? Oh well, this is still a good song.

Another one!

1) At The Drive-In -- Arcarsenal
The intro always gets me pumped.

2) Dream Theater -- In The Presence Of Enemies pt. 1
By far the best song on Systematic Chaos.

3) Jaco Pastorius -- Continuum
Awww yeah.

4) Tom Waits -- Tango Till They're Sore
"Let me fall out of the window with confetti in my hair!"

5) Vivaldi -- The Four Seasons: L'inverno (last movement)
Violin virtuosity. <3

6) Borknagar -- Relate (Dialogue)
HOO! HAH! HOO! HAH!

7) Dir en grey -- Berry
The most obnoxiously upbeat song ever, but I love it.

8) Slayer -- Necrophobic
"RIPPING APART, SEVERING FLESH, GOUGING EYES, TEARING LIMB FROM LIMB!"

9) Deathspell Omega -- Second Prayer
All the mad shouting towards the end is fucking great.

10) Thy Catafalque -- Héja-nász Av Avaron
One of the more "meh" tracks on Tűnő Idő Tárlat. Still good, though.

11) Borknagar -- The View Of Everlast
Awesome awesome song. "Explooooodiiiiiiiing... Imploding!"

12) Nile -- Libation Unto the Shades Who Lurk in the Shadows of the Temple of Anhur
Pointlessly long song titles ahoy!

13) Coheed & Cambria -- Elf Tower New Mexico
For a B-side, it's pretty goddamn great.

14) Nobuo Uematsu -- A Place To Call Home (FF IX OST)
Gorgeous.

15) Nobuo Uematsu -- Cid's Theme (FF VII OST)
Fucking epic!!!

16) The Mars Volta -- Conjugal Burns
Fucking intense Prog Rock action! Tell your friends!

17) Nobuo Uematsu -- Cinco De Chocobo (FF VII OST)
Chocobo theme in 5/4 time. Would make an awesome arrangement for a Jazz combo.

18) Angra -- Judgement Day
One of the best from Rebirth for sure.

19) Baroness -- War, Wisdom And Rhyme
Probably the most underwhelming song on Blue Album, but still pretty cool. The Mastodon influence is especially apparent here.

20) Rush -- Subdivisions
How can anyone not like this song?

21) Lamb Of God -- As The Palaces Burn
Lamb Of God really doesn't impress me too much. Also, I dunno what the hell Devin was thinking when he was producing this album.

22) Daisuke Ishiwatari -- Missing (Guilty Gear XX OST)
God, the Guilty Gear soundtracks are awesome. This ain't all metal, though, it's a piano song. Fantastic.

23) After The Burial -- Drifts
When they take that breakdown into hyperspeed at the end, it's just like

24) Darkthrone -- Over Fjell Og Gjennom Torner
Transylvanian Hunger is such a great album.

25) Deltron 3030 -- Meet Cleofis Randolph The Patriarch
Probably my favorite interlude in the album. I love how laid back this guy is when he raps.

1.) Metallica - Seek and Destroy
how people can not like KeA is beyond me, and then people say that anything after RtL is better is just retarded

2.) Raven - In the Line of Fire
meh

nothing much needs to be said

20.) Iron Maiden - Die With Your Boots On

21.) Nocturnal Breed - Iron Bitch
if Motorhead played over-produced blackened thrash

Not a very good list. Looks like I have some stuff to clean off my computer.

bah duh meh soh fuh uhh yoh gah bah

Yeah dude The Fall of Troy r def not metal. Nightwish and Diablo Swing Orchestra are borderline.

1. Edith Piaf - Mon Dieu. Warbly voice. I love how dramatic back in the day pop music can be.
2. Sharks Keep Moving - Arizona. chill, then repetitive.
3. The Dillinger Escape Plan - Parasitic Twins. Dudes should stop with the silly keyboards and pseudo-NIN stuff. I liked that one song on Ire Works where Greg sounded exactly like Trent Reznor, but now the good times are gone and it's starting to get annoying.
4. Johannes Sebastian Bach - Cello Suite #3 in C, Bouree 1. I just realized this was tagged Sebatian.
5. Judas Priest - Screaming for Veangeance. Halford's got quite the scream on him.
6. Dave King - The Shell. I haven't listened to this album yet! I skipped it because I'll wait till I'm ready for the whole thing.
7. The Mass - Hex by Hex. I like the production on these dudes' albums a lot. It's very raw without being annoying to listen to. Just sounds like dudes jamming in a room without much cleaning up of the end result.
8. The Postman Syndrome - Heads Below Our Tails. One of their best songs. Can't wait until I get my hands on the actual release of the demos.
9. The River - A Relation To Absence. ATMOSPHERIC INTERLUDE.
10. Cult of Luna - Curse. Aww man this is gonna take way too long if I listen to every 6 minute song that comes up.
11. Neurosis - Pain of Mind. Rock and roll.
12. Nomeansno - The Phone Call. ilu later Nomeansno
13. The Samuel Jackson Five - Song for Sarah. Sarah apparently likes purty keyboards.
14. Primus - Hellbound 17 1/2 (Theme From). bow bow dada dah!
15. City and Colour - As Much as I Ever Could. I have a pretty big fetish for vocal harmonies these days. Fuck I am jealous of Dallas Green's voice.
16. Impure Wilhelmina - Before a Dream. ESL spoken word dampening super pretty music.
17. Architecture in Helsinki - Underwater. V cute song. :3
18. Sikth - Where Do We Fall? I used to not like these songs but now they make me wanna hear the dudes do a pop album.
19. Eden Maine - The Acidic Taste of Betrayal. I should listen to these guys more. They're intense.
20. Haloween, Alaska - The Light Bulb. Never noticed how similar these HA are to Sharks Keep Moving but they definitely are.
21. Rage - Firestorm. Riffs motherfucker, riffs.
22. Houston Swing Engine - When I Come All Over You. Rock and roll.
23. Jethro Tull - One White Duck / 0^10. Cute. A bit cheesy, but more cute.
24. Don Caballero - You Drink a Lot of Coffee For a Teenager. Sounds like Don Cab; not very good at telling their individual songs apart. Grooves weirdly.
25. Quicksand - Head To Wall. Man I have so much good music on my computer. I am awesome. Gonna listen to Slip now.
