It's a fun album, with serious moments but the highlights are when Ice T is anything but. Key point here is the fantastic cover of Suicidal Tendencies' "Institutionalized",d as "Institutionalized 2014". Ice T's ranting over pushy wives, unhelpful customer support and hipsters make this one of my favourite songs of the year, not necessarily for musical quality but for sheer hilarity. |

Immediate reactions are that this is a contender for AOTY and I hope that people realise this and actually buy the album. This is easily capable of being THAT album that breaks the top of the charts in the UK, USA etc. - something we've needed since Slipknot made waves for the nu metal scene over 10 years ago. |

I've generally avoided the Filth and only treated them as a running joke in The IT Crowd ("It sounds horrible, but it's actually quite beautiful") but I'm genuinely impressed by this album. Everything works together, the guitars are lethal and the symphonic elements accentuate the live instruments nicely. Dani Filth has a very "love it or hate it" vocal style but it wouldn't be Cradle of Filth without his trademark banshee wailing. |

DIE FOR DETHKLOK. All the songs released so far have been top notch and I don't see it being any lower than a 4. But from what I've heard I'm giving a 4.5 and it's not likely to lower. |
Dethklok The Doomstar Requiem |
With the animation it's a 4.5. Musically still a 4 but a low 4. The music's still great and
gives us proper quality for the series' poppier moments, as well as properly showing off
Brendon Small's vocal capabilities, with him taking on almost every member of the band's
vocal duties as well as countless over characters. The contributions of Corpsegrinder Fisher
along with cameos from Jack Black, Mark Hamill and Malcom McDowell are also fantastic.
Recommended that you watch the movie first though otherwise the soundtrack won't make much
sense to you. |

Korn's venture into gothic and industrial territory didn't really work out when they recorded their untitled album in 2007, but Jon seemed to think he could refine it and build on it in his own way and now we have the fruit of it. On the whole it works pretty well, although some parts (such as The Secret") feel rather dated and fall flat. |

Korn The Path of Totality |
The emerging style of "dub metal" is set to dominate rock and metal airwaves in the next few years, and is likely to be the next mainstream rock medium. Korn have set a high benchmark with The Path Of Totality, and while the genre is definitely capable of improving, this album is set to provide a new gateway and surely prove the doubters wrong. Top tracks: Narcissistic Cannibal, Sanctuary, Bleeding Out. |
Korn The Paradigm Shift |
Am I the only one who thinks TALITM was their last truly good nu metal album? Either way this is awesome. I actually think Lullaby for a Sadist is the best track which is funny as this one was written before Head rejoined. |

Maximum the Hormone Mimi Kajiru Shinuchi |
Maximum the Hormone re-recorded their ultra-rare (now out of print) 2002 album Mimi Kajiru as a bonus for fans who purchased their live album Deka vs Deka, and the growth in musicianship is clear. Some songs have seen radical changes, such as the crazy breakbeat moments of the new look "Abara Bob", while both Johnny Tetsu Pipe tracks have been merged together for Johnny Tetsu Pipe III. The lack of 2 tracks is a shame but this is a great re-recording for new fans to experience more MTH music, and die-hard fans with all the old music to see how the band have grown in terms of musical ability (if not in maturity) in the past 14 years. |

A word to the wise though, unless you're a completionist/fan of the Soulfly instrumentals (like I
am)/want the bonus DVD, avoid the Special Edition of the album. A You Suffer cover (introduced by
Max's kinda annoying grandson) and an alternate lyrics version of Deceiver are all that await you
aside from the traditional instrumental track. |

Old school thrash. Lovely stuff. Guestlist is enough reason to give this album a spin, and while not exactly original it's musically tight and is a brilliant piece of thrash metal that Metallica would struggle to conjure up nowadays. Picks: Day By Day, Shock And Awe, Rise and Die, Get It Up (featuring the magnificent Gene Hoglan on drums and The Heathen of Zimmers Hole on vocals among others). |

Flawless industrial laced metalcore. Shame they couldn't quite match it on Grave Times. |
The Defiled Daggers |
The Defiled have further developed their sound, and are all the better for it. They still wear their influences on their sleeves at times (like in the Marilyn Manson-esque "Porcelain") but they know how to write a song, with big choruses to match. I think it's now fairer to say they are more industrial than metalcore nowadays but that's just me.rOne potential weak spot for this album is in the drumming, though. Unlike in previous releases where Stitch and The AvD programmed all the drums, they've let new drummer Needles record all the drums himself and while he's a capable drummer (his time in STOMP is testament to his abilities) he might not be suited to this style of music. Oh yeah it fits fine but it's not as good as could be. |

Not on the same level as Bloodlust as it seems they had to pad out the album with some BC-ified reworks of some classic Ice T rap songs, and a cover of Ace of Spades. Looking at the credits, it appears that Ernie C didn't have any songwriting involvement on this effort and that's probably a major factor here. However, Bum-Rush slaps hard with an extremely catchy main riff and most guest spots hit the nail on the head. |

Bullet top their last two efforts here. The songwriting is much stronger and the overall musicianship is back. The main problem Bullet have here, which is something that's plagued their releases for their whole career, has been the fact they slip so easily into a formula. So many of the tracks on this album will follow the same pattern of one big scream in the opening seconds starting the music, which is OK in small doses but once you notice the pattern, it can get quite jarring. |

Discharge End of Days |
It's exactly what should have followed on from Hear Nothing See Nothing Say Nothing, except it's 30 years too late. It's far better than their other albums because they were all terrible, but it's nowhere near the level of HNSNSN. But it's a bunch of 50-something punks trying to recapture what made them so great 30 years ago so for what it is, you have to give them credit where it's due, it's exactly what they aimed for.rSure it's not gonna redefine music or reaffirm Discharge's status but it's a decent, pretty solid and consistent album and if d-beat is your thing then it's worth checking out. |
Disregard Isolation |
District Unknown [Anatomy of a 24 Hour Lifetime] |
Clean vocals are pretty flat and the guitar tone doesn't seem quite there, but credit to them for even managing to put this out given their location in Kabul, Afghanistan. Issues aside it's some fairly well constructed psychedelic/progressive metal. |

Equilibrium Armageddon |
The black metal has been replaced by death metal on this album which will upset a lot of fans. Some tracks sound like Dethklok gone folk while other tracks, like Born To Be Epic, will upset people with the flute breaks which some critics are calling flutestep, or folkstep. A few missteps aside, though, it's a solid Equilibrium album. It won't stand out as one of their greats but it's bedding in the new members well. |
Eths Ex Umbra In Solem |
Eths are back with a new frontwoman - viral star Rachel Aspe. The new voice may take some getting used to but overall, for what it is, it's a good showcase of what the band will sound like in future. Considering it's 6/7 old songs I can't rate it much higher though. |

Kyo take a darker and somewhat more rock-oriented direction in their then-final album, after the success of Le Chemin the previous year. Songs like Contact and Sad Day are way harder hitting than most bands of their ilk, with Sad Day feeling like something many post-hardcore bands wouldn't mind writing. However they'd go more indie with their 2014 comeback album. |

It's a big step up from Army of Chaos. Yeah it's still pretty much entry level stuff but it's fun enough if you're not SERIOUS about black metal (which nobody should be). |
Sinsaenum A Taste of Sin |
Sinsaenum Repulsion for Humanity |
It plays things a bit safer than before, and the lack of Attila on vocals is pretty noticeable as it takes away a lot of the black metal influence and pushes things a lot closer to standard death metal. But it's enjoyable nonetheless, and Joey still proves he's a more than capable extreme metal drummer. |

While not quite at the level of their peak output (which can be argued is either Babylon/Roots Rock Riot, or Black/Kill the Power) it's a much needed return to form after Volume and Big Tings threatened to be the start of a terminal decline for the band's output. And it's good to see them finally getting mainstream recognition too. |

The band has to forsake the speed and aggression that was found on Enslaved in order to bleed in young drummer Zyon Cavalera who's only really had a couple of years' experience behind the kit but he does a very respectable job on this album, where grooves are the name of the game and are very well executed, for example, in "Fallen" and "This Is Violence". |

Stray from the Path Only Death Is Real |
It doesn't really live up to recent efforts, but the rage that went into making this album is palpable and that will make it a hell of a great album to hear live. |

Remi shows a more commercial oriented and relaxed take on his unique style here and, while it's a competent release, it lacks the aggression of the demos and Polymorphic Code that really made him stand out. While it's understandable that he wants to try new styles out with The Algorithm, one has to hope that this album is just Remi going through the motions and we'll see a return to the heavier side on album #3. |

It's not a bad album by any stretch and this is my first tie listening to Arch Enemy after following Alissa's move from The Agonist so there may be much better older albums but for what I know, it's not a bad album. It's not that great either though. There are many moments which seem a little stale/predictable for the melodeath genre and plenty of times in the songs where I think "this is the perfect time for Alissa to come in with some cleans" but nothing and the screams just don't feel right in those spots. Introducing cleans in Arch Enemy would be a risk, yes, but I reckon it could pay off and shake things up a bit. |

Not exactly metal as fuck and generally heavy enough to detract certain Bullet fans, so this isn't going to go down too well on either side. Those in the middle will enjoy this album though, and there are plenty of good tracks. Exorchrist does sound like a sub-par Bullet For My Valentine b-side though. |

The vocals might grate for a few people but the musicianship is there, they may not be the most complex riffs but the grooves are there as the next generation of Cavaleras show a more hardcore punk direction to their music. |

There are some strong moments on this and some weak ones. It feels like Machine Head are going through the motions and are a bit lost on what direction to go in. On this showing it can honestly go either way. But I'll give it a weak 3 because when it does work, it works well. |

Yeah it's gimmicky as hell having a grindcore band fronted by a 7 year old girl, but the EP
is actually very musically sound. It's a fun listen and the vocals bouncing between father
and daughter work really well, accompanied by some ridiculous random samples. |
Soulfly 3 |
Max must've heard the stuff Ektomorf were doing and figured they'd try something like that, with Soulfly's full on nu metal assault that was "Primitive" being replaced by more thrash leanings. The nu metal aspects still remained and it wouldn't be until "Dark Ages" when things really went back to thrash, but it was a small sign of things to come. |

TWRP helps this a LOT. The rap metal "Filling in the Name Of" lends itself to Arin's more abrasive rapping style. But I'm tempted to lower my score to a 2 just for the fact they ended the album on a series of fart jokes, included an entire breakdown in "This Song Sucks" made up entirely of autotuned farts. |

It's just Ministry without any restraint on Al's twisted mind. He just doesn't care anymore and it shows. The music is frenetic and unstructured, the electronics are jumbled, and it, for the most part, works out. It's not going to win any awards but it's a fun listen if you want a slightly more unhinged Ministry. |

While it opens strongly with a couple of good tracks (if you can get past Jas Mann's somewhat irritating vocals on Animal Army) and the megahit Spaceman, it's ultimately forgettable. |

After the deaths of Beatmaster V in 1996 (shortly after the recording of Violent Demise), Mooseman
in 2001 and D-Roc in 2004 during the recording of this album, it's clear that the remaining
members of Body Count (fleshed out with OT, Bendrix and Vincent Price) didn't have their hearts in
this effort and seemed to just be doing it out of a sense of obligation towards their fallen
bandmates. With Ice T on the other side of the country, matters weren't helped. It all seems like
they lost their ability to enjoy themselves on this album and it wouldn't be until Manslaughter in
2014 when that energy returned. |

While the songwriting is more consistent and tighter, it really lacks the urgency and feel of TIAH and Sempiternal, as well as lacking any true stand out songs. TIAH had songs like "It Never Ends" and "Crucify Me" and Sempiternal had such a strong ending with "Hospital For Souls" as well as other great tracks like "Sleepwalking". Throne is the best track on this album but place it on any other album and it would just be another track rather than the main highlight. This isn't to say it's a bad album but it's a definite step back in quality. |

Eh. I dig the music hard but the vocals drag everything down a bit too much for it to be really listenable on a regular basis. Maybe give them time and they could improve (after all this is just the debut album). |

Nothing new. Vocals have improved, guitar tone sucks. They don't necessarily deserve the hate they get because the songs are cohesive and the musicians are perfectly competent, but again, it's just "eh". |

You know what you're getting into if you have any familiarity with the other members' main projects, but there's still some enjoyable moments. It's all very much alt metal/hard rock by numbers and one would hope that in future they'll try to do something JUST A LITTLE BIT different. But don't hold out much hope for that. If you like some plain old inoffensive rock then you'll enjoy this, but for those looking for something a little different, look elsewhere. |
