Editorial Review

Marilyn Manson started out as a depraved, marginally talented group of freaks that played a caustic but undeveloped brand of metallic industrial noise. Then Trent Reznor stepped into the studio for seven months with the band, and Manson emerged with the most intense, visceral, mechanical metal album since The Downward Spiral. Antichrist Superstar is a horror-house of grisly atrocities that stains as indelibly as a bathful of warm blood. Brooding rhythms collide with corrosive samples and buzzsaw guitar riffs, while vocalist Marilyn croons irresistible melodies in the voice of a vagrant regurgitating broken light-bulb shards. Essential listening, regardless of how much input Reznor had.--Jon Wiederhorn ... Read more

This Is The Most Well Thought Out Recorded Album Yet
One may see Marilyn Manson as that "weird" guy, or that "goth" guy, however, he is probably the most intelligent, well-spoken entertainers in the music industry. His triple-lp set of a sharply thought out Trilogy about a boy by the name of Adam who is born with a sharp mind but who's infatuation with rebellion and "changing the world" results in his downfall. All three discs, "Antichrist Superstar" "Mechanical Animals" and "Holy Wood" include ( NOT IN ORDER, and please note that the order in which events do take place can be found on this website: http://chiburi.home.mindspring.com/ac_trilogy/ ) this story.

Onto the music side. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, Dave "Rave" Ogilvie, MW Gacy, Twiggy Ramirez are partly responsible for the impossibly perfect sound of this album. Marilyn Manson himself produced masses of noises heard here. This album took 9 months to produce, although it seems like something like this would take 10-100 years. Although not as abstract as Nine Inch Nail's masterpiece "THE FRAGILE," this album sits high at the top of the best audio recordings created. This album is perfect, and although I just recently began listening to him again, I've been saying this for 8 years now.

A True Work of Art
When this cd first burst upon the scene in 1996, I was skeptical of the combat-boot and makeup clad rocker named after one of the nation's beautys and one of its most notorious murderers. 5 years later, and I have all the Manson albums, countless shirts and posters, with this ranking as one of my top five cds of all time.

The album itself is a concept album about the life of Brian Warner, aka Marilyn Manson. The first fourth is about his birth and the hell that is childhood, followed by his ascent into fame, only to lose it and be hated once again. This is without a doubt the darkest album of all time (rivaled only by NIN and Tool), while still managing to be a masterpiece. Blending hardcore industrial sounds in the vein of NIN with hard rock and metal grind, Antichrist Superstar contains many various themes, such as rebellion, drug use, fame and the notoriety that follows it. I really love 2,4,6,10,15 and 16, but I cant name a single song on here that is truly bad. Mansons vocals always shine great, going from oddly-catchy melody to sick screams in mere seconds. The guitar work is decent, but the bass of Twiggy Ramirez drives most of the songs into your mind, where theyll lurk for months. Dont be shocked if you grow a fascination with this band, as it happened to everyone I know who owns this cd. Its well worth it though, as are any works released by this great band, easily one of the most important alt acts of the 90s.

People don't undestand this.
Ok. Marilyn Manson does not create awesome music. It has some catchy metal sounds but that's it. It sounds pretty good if you are only into American Metal but if you know all the types of Metal from different countries, this is not the best Metal you can find.
What make this different and interesting is what Manson says. I really wonder why this guy did what he did. I still consider him an intelligent man. He became one of the most important figures of MTV to give his message to mostly kids that didn't understand a word of what he was saying. Marilyn Manson is influenced by my favorite philosopher. The most important thinker of the 19th century and probably the most important thinker in German history and the most important influence over the existentialism of the beginning of the 20th century. Friedrich Nietzsche. However, just like Hitler and the Nazis, I think that Marilyn Manson misunderstood Nietzsche (I doubt that most of those that buy his albums based on what you saw on MTV or heard in the radio know what I'm talking about) .The theory of the "superman" is an interesting concept that has nothing to do with racism and that I respect because I think is very close to reality unlike other philosophical concepts. However, the attacks against Christianity plus the anti-compassion ideas and the praising of the warrior are not, in my opinion, effective to our times.
I think that Marilyn Manson is another person that misunderstood Nietzsche and tried to communicate a message. He did it at a wrong moment and he gave it to the wrong people. This is a music CD. But I also just wanted to go over what Manson's ideas mean. I know that philosophy is not what you guys think about all the time but I think that a simple explanation of what happens in his mind when he writes his lyrics could be useful. In the world of music (classical excluded), whether is popular and known by the majority or whether is underground or not very known, Marilyn Manson appears as a very "deep" man and as someone extremely intelligent. However, in the world of studies. In the field of those that are more cultured, he is just a person that didn't understand (and became way to excited with what he understood)what he read. If you want to find out about it. Read "The Anti-Christ" and "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" of Nietzsche. You can read all of his works but those are the most easy to understand (And the Zarathustra is the most important). I give this 3 stars because is something made by an intelligent person with a sometimes intelligent message made for the not intelligent world of MTV. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Reminiscences permeate the dozen diverse tracks that populate Everclear's fourth outing. The trio, spearheaded by writer/guitarist/producer Art Alexakis, looks back in myriad ways on Songs from an American Movie. Alexakis skillfully and sweetly addresses his recent divorce ("The Honeymoon Song," "Now That's It's Over"), musical heroes ("Otis Redding"), and childhood ("AM Radio"), frequently matching his words with suitably retro music. Although the only cover is a new-wave take on Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl," familiar musical references abound. On "AM Radio," a brief sample of "Mr. Big Shot" sets the tone for funky flashback fun, while "The Honeymoon Song" is full of Brian Wilson inflections. Alexakis references his own "Everything to Everyone" in the title track, while "Otis Redding," "Unemployed Boyfriend," and "Wonderful" are more commercial alt-rock Everclear than homage Everclear. Alexakis set out to make a pop album, and while millennial teenagers have their own definition of "pop," for '70s-kid Alexakis, Songs from an American Movie serves as a summertime soundtrack to his thirtysomething life. --Katherine Turman ...

It's a very fine work of Art*
*-and Craig and Greg. Everclear's fourth full-length album, "Songs from an American movie, Vol. 1, Learning How To Smile", is Everclear's most accessible album yet, though that's not necessarily a bad thing at all. This is one of those albums that not only works quite well as a whole (the concept here, from what I have gathered, is Art's life or what could be many people's lives...falling in and out of love, growing up, hearing your favorite song on the radio, divorce, etc.), but also has many great moments of individual songs. Here's a track by track lowdown:

"Song From An American Movie, Pt. 1" is brief, yet fairly touching account of love for your child. Short and sweet.

"Here We Go Again" is real uptempo, laced with a Public Enemy sample and horns. It's as hip-hop as Everclear will probably ever get. The topic here: remembering falling in love.

"AM Radio" screams "radio single" because it's so catchy, upbeat, and effectively uses a sample from "Mr. Big Stuff" to hold it all together. The topic here: growing up all the while having music hold it all together. It's a song that I can not only relate to, but it's also one of the best ones on here.

"Brown Eyed Girl" is a cover of the legendary Van Morrison song. It's an uptempo rendition that has Everclear's stamp all over it, from the bass/drum interaction to Art's trademark vocals. Another potential radio song.

"Learning How To Smile" is where the strings kick in. Not my favorite track on here, it sounds the most like a song recorded for "So Much For The Afterglow". The topic here: holding on to your love.

"The Honeymoon Song" is where you have to make sure you've got the right CD in the player. The gentle, Hawaiian mandolin atmosphere created here is quite nice, coupled with Greg's (yes, Greg's) lead vocal make this the best lost 70's Beach Boys song I've ever heard.

"Now That It's Over" begins as a rewrite of "When The Levee Breaks", then rides the drum beat into what sounds like a chamberlain in the background, creating a sort of carnivalesque atmosphere. One of the best songs on here. The topic here: picking it all up now that the relationship is over.

"Thrift Store Chair" is a brief, countrified account of figuring it all out once it's over, doing what you can to cope. Nice little song.

"Otis Redding" is an account about looking back, wishing you could change or relive the past. Musically, it's a straightforward Everclear song, and it flows well.

"Unemployed Boyfriend" is more straightforward Everclear, interspersed with the annoying sound of a girl leaving a message on an answering machine. The only track on here I don't like.

"Wonderful" is the first single, the tale of a divorce, seen through the innocent child. It's the Everclear you know and love, both musically and lyrically.

The last track, "Annabella's Song" is a gentle lullaby that is a fitting closer. It's very nicely done, thoughtful and touching.

Overall, this is a great album. The expansion of Everclear's sound is great, and nothing on here sounds particularly tired or out of place. It's the great pop record I'm sure Art always wanted to make. If you think it sounds too soft for you, borrow it from a friend before you judge. If it is, just wait until this fall, when, I'm told, Vol. 2 will be out, rocking harder, sounding more like the post-punk 3 angry men a lot of Everclear fans love most. I can't wait, but I'm "wonderful" for the time being.

These guys don't hit and miss...
All of Everyclear's major label albums have been consistantly very good.

This album is non exception. I like all the songs, and even though at it's heart Everclear is a southern punk rock band, with each release they grow a little.

On their last effort "Sparkel and Fade" they ventured into beach music while keeping to their roots. On "Songs from an American Movie Vol. One" they revist the style of their first and second album and successfully manage to add pop, folk, hints of "hip-hop" and even thow in an excellent new rendition of the classic rock Van Morrison song "Brown Eyed Girl".

They accomplish all this and manage to keep the music fun, and add enough of the real worlds irony to keep the lryics deep.

How? Simple, Art Alexakis is a genius

Only 4 stars because I wish they would have just made it a double CD set instead of doing the two album thing in a single year.

¿Wonderful¿ Stories
Everclear does a great job telling their stories on SONGS FROM AN AMERICAN MOVIE. From the retro sound of "AM Radio" with its true spirit of the 70's vibe to the pure vitriol of "Now That It's Over," Everclear creates a series of vignettes that rarely work, but when they do it's a wonderful journey. You can get an amazing amount of story out of a 3-4 minute song. Take the girl sitting at the unemployment office in "Unemployed Boyfriend." Just sitting there minding her own business and being greeted by the line "Maybe this sounds a little obsessive." How can you not love that line, and the rest of the song holds up just as well. This pattern of excellence repeats itself and except for the unfortunate cover of "Brown Eyed Girl," (it just reminds how much better Morrison's original was, even on AM radio.)This is a CD I find myself coming back to, again and again. ...

23 Years Gone, Forever Still To Come...
There is little that I can add to the many voices who have praised this great work. But I feel compelled to do so. Largely the work of composer/lyrical genius Roger Waters, the sheer scope of 'The Wall' is breathtaking in its ability to move and shock you, an effect that has not diminished as it now enters its 23rd year. Mixing semi-biographical material with knowing fiction, Waters weaves a tale that is equal parts grim satire, near-operatic melodrama and gut-wrenching anger. Waters attacks the capitalist cynicism of the music business, the oftimes cookie-cutter putting-down of schoolkids, and most significantly, the complexity and pitfalls of familial and married life. And of course, the bitter futility of war, which is as relevant now as it was in 1944 or 1979. 'The Wall' has been and always will be a soundtrack for the angry and the disaffected. But don't get me wrong, there are moments of musical beauty that will stay with you long after the anger has faded. Water's voice flexes its considerable emotional range across a variety of moods. Guitarist David Gilmour's melodic lead playing sizzles with passion and power. His intensity and soaring tone makes 'The Wall' arguably his finest recorded performance. And his vocal contributions to the album also cannot be overlooked. Keyboardist Rick Wright and drummer Nick Mason make important musical contributions and Wiz Producer Bob Ezrin ties it all together into a soundscape that is timeless. 'The Wall' will take you on a journey through light and darkness, and you will emerge outside 'The Wall', like Roger Waters, better for the experience. One of Rock's true masterpieces and certainly not the least of them.

just another brick in my wall...
ok, let's get down to the basic point of this - this is a really great album. it is not my absolute favorite floyd album but is a pretty [darn] good one. here's a partial line up -

in the flesh - great opener, sets the mood for the piece

the thin ice - starts out very mellow but continues into a hard rocker

another brick in the wall (pt. 1) - a great laid back song, good opener for pt. 2 which is 2 tracks away

the happiest days of our lives - sets the mood for another brick in the wall pt. 2 and displays the feelings of "pink" about his childhood school days

another brick in the wall (pt. 2) - everybody has heard this song, regardless if they are a floyd fan or not. its a great song though, really good single.

mother - a great acoustic song which displays roger waters' great song writing ability - very simple but very good

goodbye blue skies - a song about world war 2; beautiful but a bit depressing

empty spaces - good song; very deep & dark thoughts by roger waters

young lust - song about being a rock star & the rock star life

one of my turns - mellow keyboard song which turns into a high adrenaline rock theme (about "pink" crashing a hotel room to pieces and scaring a groupie out of her mind)

don't leave me now - very depressing and dark song about pink's loneliness and depression, particulary about his wife leaving him

another brick in the wall (pt. 3) - a high adrenaline (but very short) rendition of another brick in the wall

goodbye cruel world - a very straightforward and depressing song about pink's further descent into madness

disc 2:

hey you - very good song; great opener for disc 2; very much about loneliness

is there anybody out there? - another depressing song about pink's building of "the wall" and his alienation; the title is the only set of words in the song

nobody home - very sad piano-based piece; but a great song, even roger waters himself said that

vera - another very sad song following "nobody home" - very orchestrated song

bring the boys back home - an orchestrated band song; very self explanatory about bringing home the british soldiers of war

comfortably numb - originally a david gilmour song, with the help of roger waters' writing as well; awesome rocker song; really brings the tempo up on the 2nd disc a lot

the show must go on - very short but good acoustic song; like "hey you" it is not on the movie

in the flesh? - another version of in the flesh?; little bit longer, as it has different words

run like hell - song like "in the flesh" about pink's uprising of a fascist nazi-like army

waiting for the worms - a good song, once again following the fascist portion of the story (if youre in a band, i recommend not singing the words to this live as a cover, being as how it is extremely racist and may result in an [rear] beating)

stop - a very slow, short and simple song after the downfall of pink's "hammer" army

the trial - a very humorous song "showing feelings of an impecable human nature" as the schoolmaster puts it

this album is art at its best
I'm amazed that this album has actually received bad reviews.

Has our culture become so banal that Spears/Jackson pop music is the base line? This is art folks. If you have any self awareness, this album will affect you. Damn it, it should make you, at the very least, teary eyed.

I admit that I blur the album and the film into one experience. The whole project is amazing - that includes the live DVD performance in Berlin.

War, insanity, drug use, fame, authority figures who don't give a damn, (that includes your precious, little mommy), self-absorption, and the desperate need for longing - come on folks, you got to be kidding when you trash this album.

How can one not feel when Pink calls home and his wife's lover answers the damn phone? Then again, maybe you've never been completely betrayed during a moment of adulterated innocence and weakness.

Sure, I have every Pink Floyd album and then some. The Wall isn't the typical psychadelic, experimental mastery that one might typically equate with this band. But, the apparent simplicity is the genius.

This is Pink Floyd. This is a masterpiece.

Centuries from now adolescents, and adults who can empathize with that angst of just being, will embrace this album.

Editorial Review

The joke of Licensed to Ill's cover--that the Beasties could crash their jet into the side of a mountain and keep on tickin'--serves as a good metaphor for a career that even some of their 1986 admirers thought might be over after the one-time-only shock of this full-length debut. That thousands of funk-junkie wannabes have since failed at re-creating its groove, breaking-the-law vibe, and ear-splitting mix of rock and rap is an even better joke. And funniest of all is the record itself, which packs dexterous boasts, aural puns, and lots and lots of yelling into a disc that can still be listened to with as much pleasure as it gave in '86. --Rickey Wright ...

Enter The Beasties.
This album was the "I Get Wet" of its day, an album about rowdy, partying and hell-bent-for-strip-clubs aggro. However, unlike Andrew W.K.'s little one off, this album was a real groundbreaker.

Building in the same shop opened earlier by Run-DMC & Aerosmith retooling "Walk This Way", Licensed To Ill welded rock & rap together the way race car chassis builders combine alloys for lightweight but powerful vehicles. You knew the overall package was fun, but there was a lean & mean seriousness underneath, somehow.

This album had many famous tracks especially the anthem "Fight For Your Right To Party" with its "I never get to have any fun!" bawling & the uncredited gutar solo by Kerry King of Slayer screaming its way out of the house, a thunderclap to scare the squares. There's the womanizing "She's Crafty" which I first considered blasphemous for sampling Led Zep's "The Ocean" but now love. Also included are the most infamous of the Beasties: "Paul Revere", "Rhymin' & Stealin'", "Hold It, Now Hit It", "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn". You see, before there was gangsta rap, there were The Beastie Boys who were only SLIGHTLY more tolerated due to their cartoonish stance.

But what a great cartoon it remains, like the eye popping wolves in a Tex Avery cartoon.....

Top Ten Albums ever, hands down
The Beastie Boys are the most revolutionary white performers since Elvis; they both took an African American style of music (rhythm and blues and hip hop, respectively) and made it accesible to mainstream white listeners. The Beastie Boys also pioneered the whole "rap-rock" genre that permeates the airwaves these days with such artists as Ratm and Linkin Park. Everything they did in their time was unheard of, and they forged ahead into unexplored musical territories throughout their debut Licensed to Ill. This contains many of their mainstream hits, including "Rhymin and Stealin", "She's Crafty", "Girls", "Fight for Your Right", "No Sleep Til' Brooklyn", "Paul Revere", and "Brassy Monkey". More than half of the album made it to the radio. Thats damn impressive. Drenched in samples and with razor sharp lyrics, this is definetely one album that you can't go wrong with. If you are into that whole rap rock genre, pick this up and see where it all began.

its awsome a few of the songs not so good
its awsome like (fight for your right) but just a few sucked but i did not hate the fact i bought it i love it still i think its a good product here at amazon so i recomend it to all of you ... Read more

A glimpse of the future, and not because of its huge influence and umpteen million sales. The poor-little-rich-boy protest "Out ta Get Me" intimates that Axl Rose's egotism and martyr complex were soon to grow bigger than his head; still, Appetite's night-train wreck of punk and metal sounds and sensibilities make it more than just an emblem of its time. Whether GN'R are dancing with Mr. Brownstone, penning a callow kiss-off letter to some chick named Michelle, or passing out on somebody else's sofa, this was and remains a savage journey to the heart of the American--or at least the Hollywood--dream. --Rickey Wright ...

One of the best heavy metal albums of all time
The significance of this album is unquestionable. This was the 80s metal album that united those who liked hair metal (Poison, Warrant, etc), and thrash metal (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer). It's an excellent mix of blues, hard rock, attitude and machismo.
Guns N Roses were one of the most essential and important bands of the 1980s. Axl Rose's aggressive and shrieking vocals were very adequate (despite the fact that he burned out too quickly and cheated his fans), and Slash's blistering guitar solos are amazing, and he's certainly one of the best guitarists ever. "Welcome to the Jungle," "Sweet Child O'Mine," "Paradise City," and "Mr. Brownstone," are already rock radio classics that still sound juts as awesome today as they did back in 1987. You can still feel the power of the band in those songs, and for other songs on this album like "Night Train," "Out To get me," and "Rocket Queen." What a great album. I listened to this all the time when I was 6 when I'd steal my Dad's tape of it, until my parents took it away from it because of all the 'dirty words' on it. It is one of the most essential albums of all time, especially in such an era like the late 80s where bad music was just as normal as apple pie.

Best rock album of all time
Everythings been sauid about this album, but check out this guys post:

Yo hip-hoppa's, how ya'll be?? You know, just like everyone, when I turn on the radio, I wanna hear nu rock, nu metal and hip hopp!! Yet all I keep hearing is dumb old bands that have NO prupose now and have never had any purpose at any point in their careers actually!! Why is the airwaves clogged up with this junk anyway?? "Welcome To The Jungle" has a horrible riff, dumb lyrics, and is the theme song for the Cincinnati Bengals, the wrost football team ever!! "Sweet Child Ov Mine" is a cheesy toon about remembering childhood, "Mr. Brownstone" is about a cooky neighbor, and "Paradise City" goes on for about 6 minutes too long!! Enough with all the annoiyng guitar solos, their sooo annoying!! Axl also has the most whiny voice ever. Plus the bass playa sounds like he's just tapping his bottom string and not playing, listen to the intro of "It's So Easy" and ya'll see whut I be meanin'!!! For good music, look to bands like Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park, Disturbed, KoRn, Bubba Sparxx, Eminem, Puff Daddy, Puddle Of Mudd, Seether, Saliva, Nickleback, Drowning Pool and the new talent like Clay Aiken and Smile Empty Soul :]!! Skip this WASTE of plastic!!! Peace out G'N R dudes....

First, DO NOT take this f*g seriously. He doesn't like guitar solos, and he listens to Eminem. Paradise City is the second best song on the album, and in no way is it to long. remember, most of the 2nd half is the outro solo, which, by teh way, is AMAZING. Second, if anyone's familiar with music here, you'll know that Bass is to support the band. To add bottom. Limp bIzkit and Linkin Parks bassists are 10 times worst than Duff (bassist for GNR) Plus, the intro to It's So Easy is played on the guitar you dumbass. it sounds like the bass, but it's not. Third, Mr. Brownstone is about the bands drug addictions, not some cooky neighbor.
This guy is obviosly a p*ssy a*s teen who doesn't appreciate real music. I mean come on, look what he said: " You know, just like everyone, when I turn on the radio, I wanna hear nu rock, nu metal and hip hopp." This guy doesn't appreciate rock n roll, so he has no buisness posting a review about music he hates. i think all Gnr fans should go post crappy reviews for nu bands liek Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit. I think i speak for all true rock fans, when i say that Appetite For Destrucion is a CD of true talent, and is, in my opinion, the greatest rock album out there. Long live GNR (the originals atleast!)

Appetite for Amazement
"Appetite for Destruction" is a CD in a league of it's own. It surpasses "Led Zeppelin IV" and "Back in Black" by far. It is the best CD's ever by one of the best bands ever. Guns N' Roses came into the spectrum at the height of hair metal band faz. Such as Def Leppard, Poison, and Motley Crue were all the rage. Not that these bands don't rock, it's just that GN'R does so much better at it than them. This CD is the third best selling rock CD in the nation (behind the 2 earlier mentioned), and it is hard to see why it isn't numero uno. It definitely is in my book.

First off, there is Saul Hudson (Slash) on lead guitar. The best guitarist of all time. He has his own distinct style and has the speed to keep up with Eddie Van Halen and Toni Iommi. Although he has had his problems with drugs (he was clinically dead for over 30 seconds), what Rock-star hasn't. Next there is the amazing frontman Axl Rose (Bill Baily). That is simply all you have to say about Axl. Amazing. Although he doesn't have the best voice in the buisness, he makes up for it in stage presence and attitude. He has to be one of the best frontmen of all time. While the other members of the band aren't as prominent as Axl and Slash, they still deserve to be mentioned. Izzy Stradlin (Jeffrey Isabel) on rythym guitar. Steven Adler on Drums. And Michael "Duff" Mckaegen.

These songs were instant classics. Who can resist that opening to "Welcome to the Jungle." Or the emotion behind "Sweet Child of Mine," (plus the best guitar solos ever). This debut CD for the band was all about their lives, the good and the bad. Such tracks as "Mr. Brownstone," "Paradise City," and "Rocket Queen," have obvious drug and partying references behind them, and rock just much as they should.

This is the CD that spawned millions of fan-clubs and websites all about the band. It is one of the essential rock CD's to have and of course I recomend it. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Most critics complain Back in Black, the album AC/DC recorded after the death of their original lead screamer Bon Scott, is ridiculously juvenile, obvious, snickering, bludgeoning, derivative, single-minded about sex and booze, a big cartoon. All true, of course, and--on rock 'n' ragers like "What Do You Do For Money Honey," "You Shook Me All Night Long," and the title track--all great. As Scott's replacement Brian Johnson reminds us, loud and crunchy, no-holds-barred "rock and roll ain't noise pollution...it makes good, good sense." Never trust anyone who refuses to drink domestic beer, laugh at the Three Stooges, or crank Back in Black. --David Cantwell ... Read more

A good-tasting, energy-filled, meat-and-potatoes meal
The album Back in Black was released by AC/DC in 1980. Ten tracks are included, and they are in a straight-ahead hard rock musical direction. The songwriting is good, the musicianship is taut, and the sound quality is pleasing. I think that Brian Johnson is a unique, gritty-sounding, high-energy vocalist; this was his first album singing with the band. Even though I find every one of the cuts to be gratifying, the ones that I like the most are "Hells Bells," "Back in Black," "You Shook Me All Night Long," and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution." "Hells Bells"--the opening tune--is earnest and energetic in its delivery. The engaging, rousing song "Back in Black" sports a haunting and infectious main guitar riff. The well-written, brisk "You Shook Me All Night Long" features a strikingly forceful chorus and a cool principal guitar riff. The enjoyable, sprightly "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution," the disc's closing piece, displays a memorable refrain and primary guitar riff. The CD insert does not contain the song lyrics, but there is a black-and-white photo of each of the guys. The disc is just over 42 minutes. Back in Black is a satisfying, lively, no-frills, cohesive album from AC/DC.

Back in Black is hard rock's premier album.
If you haven't bought this record yet, then obviously you are new to rock. AC/DC's power chords have become their trademark, and with a large following in virtually every continent the band is one of the most recognized hard rock band throughout the entire world. 'Back in Black' is the album that brought about the peak of the aussie band.

Largely known for its classical tracks 'Hells Bells', 'You Shook Me All Night Long' and the title track, this record's other 7 songs are a great listen as well, thanks to the great song-writing of the Young brothers. Making his debut on this record as the new vocalist for AC/DC is Brian Johnson, whose voice is now one of the most recognizable voices in rock. Angus Young's simple-but-awesome combinations of just a couple of power chords rock the speakers, and the the true rock lyrics that talk about sex, alcohol and rock 'n roll make the songs complete.

'Back in Black' has sold well over 16 million copies in the U.S. alone, and stands as one of the best rock albums of all time. This album is a great introduction to hard rock, as it is the best record of one of the best rock bands of all time.

Its Just RockNRoll
No Frills, Fun Rock'n'Roll. Its just good fun. The key To ac/dc's Simpleness Is That its Fun. Not to be taken too seriously. We have enough Rocknroll Musical geniuses around to please us (Hendrix, beatles, Pink Floyd etc etc etc) , But who is their to keep us rockin Day and night - AC/DC.
Ac/dc never got bogged down In the downside of rocknroll with boring songs about heroin addiction and all that mumbo jumbo, They Kept it fun and exciting, And 20 years on its still more fun and exciting thay any of these Pathetic new bands.Rock On Fellas

Editorial Review

The Beatles had the White Album, Metallica, a black album, and now Staind has its gray album. While lumped in with the often indistinguishable nu metal crowd, Staind stands out, thanks in part to memorable ballads, such as the pained and beautiful "It's Been A While" and "Epiphany" from the quartet's 2001 breakthrough Break the Cycle. Their latest represents a natural progression; realizing the commercial potential of the poignant but heavy rock ballad, they've penned a slew of them. The light and cheery "How About You" is radio-ready, while the layered, string-backed "So Far Away," and honest and grateful musing on success, is another get-out-the lighters showcase for singer Aaron Lewis. Lewis's beautiful ode for his baby, "Zoe Jane," a tribute to late Alice in Chains vocalist Layne Staley ("Layne," which intentionally and effectively cops Alice's signature sound), and the grandiose thank-you note "Intro" are more strong, overtly introspective entries in Lewis' sometimes mushy, sometimes touching CD diary. --Katherine Turman ...

One of the most amazing things ever
First off let me say that staind is the most amazing band in the world. They are the only band that i REALLY REALLY like alot. This CD is a change. Their first album, TORMENTED, is the angriest thing I have ever heard. Not many people know about it, I'm not sure why though. That gives more of a, "**** YOU!" message. Their next album, DYSFUNCTION, shows a change in the band in the kind of music. Their is a lot of more singing, and still a lot of anger, but not as much as toremented. BREAK THE CYCLE is their most popular, but I think DYSFUNCTION is better. BREAK THE CYCLE is more depression and regret than anger. 14 SHADES OF GREY is nothing like all of those others lyrically. It gives the message, "well my life sucked, but now im in a record deal, so who really cares?" However, its still awesome. This is more singing than any other staind album. This is staind's best album musically.

1. PRICE TO PLAY- catchy, im not sure why everyone likes it so much. The instruments are good. 9/10

2. HOW ABOUT YOU- Bad choice for a single, but still good. This is stainds first song that expresses anger towards the music industry. 8/10

3. SO FAR AWAY- the total opposite of HOW ABOUT YOU in terms on lyrics. This song says that his life was bad, but its a lot better because he's in a band. My favorite on the CD. 10/10

4. YESTERDAY- The only really angry song on the album. The lyrics really give a good "i hate everything" message. "A boy and already afraid, locked deep inside my place to hide, to hide from how you made me feel. And I wonder how's your brother? Did he end up ****ed up like me? Lost in himself, crying for help?" Just read those lyrics outloud, its mad stuff. I love the chorus tune. 10/10

5. FRAY- Very different from other staind songs musically, but still great. I really like the lyrics. Chorus is mono-tone, but its still good, it sounds like the chorus in A-FLAT off dysfunction. The pre-chorus is really cool with the beeping noise. 10/10

6. ZOE JANE- Every staind CD needs a ballad. TORMENTED had "4 Walls" DYSFUNCTION had "Home" BREAK THE CYCLE had "It's Been Awhile" and "Epiphany." However, the is the first Staind ballad that wasn't picked as a single. Interesting. About his daughter and how sad he is that he doesn't get to see her much. Great guitar intro. 9/10

7. FILL ME UP- It's ok. Nothing special. Its a little catchy. Not one of my favorites. Its a song to his wife, like SAFE PLACE from BREAK THE CYCLE, which was also not as good as other stiand songs. 7/10

8. LAYNE- This is the song that got me to like the band Alice in Chains. Since I heard that staind likes them, I bought DIRT by Alice in Chains, and they are now my second favorite band, staind being the first. VERY catchy. I like the chorus and the bridge.......and the intro and the verses, but mostly the chorus and bridge. 9.5/10

9. FALLING DOWN- lyrics are OK. This is a catchy one. Not that heavy, just catchy. 8.5/10

10. REALITY- Lyrics kinda remind me of those people who aren't at their door when you're trick-or-treating, and you dont get candy, lol (that means laughing out loud). I know it isn't about that though. Bridge is rock/rap. The rest of the song is in their new style of music on 14 Shades of Grey. 9.5/10

11. TONIGHT- its ok I guess. Probably my least favorite song on the album. 7/10

12. COULD IT BE- I LOVE THIS SONG! The lyrics are so great. The chorus lyrics are the best of the whole CD. "Could it be that I never had the chance to grow inside? Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide? Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree? Could it be that I'm just being me?" That sums up so much of what so many people are feeling. I REALLY like the intro also. My favorite from the CD. 10/10

13. BLOW AWAY- Lyrics aren't amazing, but tune is SOOOO catchy. When he says "FACES THAT I'VE" and "LOST TOO MANY" and "MEMORIES I" in the chorus are great. The guitar intro is weird, I am not sure why they had that. It's hard to describe the sound. It's like a "FWANG FWANG" and it gets softer. Then "FWANG FWANG FWANG" again. 10/10

14. INTRO- I haven't listened to it long enough to write a good review about it. It has a lot of backround noise. Not that great.
Every CD by staind ends with something different. TORMENTED ends with a ballad. DYSFUNCTION ends with a screaming/really heavy song. BREAK THE CYCLE ends with a sing-songy song. 14 SHADES OF GRAY ends with a bad song (well not bad but not as good as the other staind songs)

OK thats the review. Please rate it.

14 Shades of Crap
Wow. I don't if its just me or not, but I can't stand what staind has become. I guess i'll just continue to listen to Dysfunction, when they were actually a heavy metal band.

How not to make youre third album!
Well it seems as though staind have opted for the same verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus formula which made the very rich men with break the cycle. its a safe bet and provides them with yet more money, i have nothing against staind, in fact a couple of songs of dysfunction and "btc" were very good, but you do tend to get bored of the same set of songs being played in de-tuned guitars. As soon as i heard pay to play i knew they wouldnt be repeating the success of "btc". Most of this album is dull, the title is fitting and aarons droning becomes frankly annoying after a while. songs like intro and fill me up raise the eyebrow slightly and falling down sounds like it should be on btc. the album doesnt quite grab you and its quite disturbing that a man of this age is so angry and depressed. Maybe theyll get another album out if theyre not dropped. once again im not out to get staind this review is true. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Combining the stop-start rhythms of Helmet, the hip-hop assault of Rage Against the Machine and the brooding vocals of Faith No More, Bakersfield, California band Korn concocted a golden formula that would reanimate the dormant corpse of heavy metal. The band's self-titled debut is a teenage-fantasy-endorphin-rush--a subversive noisefest as angry and hostile as Slayer but with a propulsive groove perfect for skateboarding, vandalism, or jumping up and down until you're nauseous. Songs like "Blind," "Clown," and "Shoots and Ladders" blend dark, bleak riffs with head-spinning guitar effects and scream-and-response choruses. But even at their most vitriolic, Korn imbue their blustery music with a cathartic element of fun.--Jon Wiederhorn ... Read more

This CD Kicks...
KoRn's self titled debut is hands down, not only KoRn's best but THE BEST CD OF ALL TIME! On this album Jon lets his feelings out to the whole world more than any other album, and mixed with the crushing guitars, throbbing bass and pounding drums you've got one kick... CD
Here are my track ratings:

1.Blind: Exellent opening track, starts out with David's cymbals and then the guitar and bass start to kick in until the explosion with the challenge "ARE YOU READY" 10/10

2.Ball Tongue: Nice song, has Jon's scatting like hell 9/10

3.Need To: Lots of screaming and "I HATE YOU"s on this one 9/10

4.Clown: AMAZING SONG, GREAT CHORUS VERY WELL WRITTEN AND GREAT RIFFS, one of my favorites 11/10

5.Divine: Fastest track on the CD, also the shortest one 9/10

6.Faget:GREAT SONG very open, not homophobic (not that i care), another one of my favorites along with clown 11/10

7.Shoots and Ladders: awesome song with bagpipe solo at the begining then the guitar, bass and drums kick in 9/10

8. Predictable: 2nd worst song on the album, kinda like creed 8/10

9.Fake: Another great song, and one of my favs but not as good as faget or clown 10/10

10.Lies: Worst song on the album, but anything from korn is still good 7/10

11.Helmet in the Bush: Creepy song, jon's mostly whispering, set's the mood for the closer Daddy 9/10

12.Daddy: This song is not for the faint of heart, about Jonathan Davis getting abused by someone when he was young but his parent never believed him, the song ends with Jonathan crying (literally), the most emotional song in the history of music 10/10

Not Clowning Around
Korn has had a solid twelve year career built on heavy touring and a fanbase. This album recieved little or no attention from critics, MTV, or radio. The reason? Because it dared to step over the line, to go a little bit farther than the rest dared to go. People were scared of such a brave attempt. And what comes out from this explosive album is pure brilliance.

Blind - What a perfect intro for a CD. The quiet cymbol provided by David, and the signature line from Jonathan Davis: "Are you ready?!" And some of you may not be, most people weren't.

Ball Tongue - A great opening riff of heavy distortion. Jonathan's words are hardly audible, including a chorus where he sings nothing but gibberish.

Need To - At first a real dissapointment but as the song goes on, Jonathan basically saves the attempt.

Clown - With an avalanche of razorblade guitars and the first melodic moment on the CD, this is definately one of Korn's best songs.

Divine - Nothing but pure fast-paced heaviness. Awesome song

Faget - Jonathan gets emotional about his childhood on this beautifully crafted song. The sharp, heavy opening guitar riff is followed by tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the rest.

Shoots and Ladders - A surprise fade in from a pair of bagpipes played by none other than Jonathan Davis is met with a heavy repitious riff with pounding bass and drums. Jonathan spurts out some popular nurshrey ryhymes, with a chorus caiming: "Nurshrey rhymhes are said, verses in my head...look at the pages that cause all this evil" Definately one of the best on the CD

Predictable - The only big dissapointment, this song really ....

Fake - Great guitar hook at the end with weird vocals throught. Awesome

best korn cd
This is an awesome debut by Korn, and in my opinion their best album. The music is so aggressive and fearless and I just love their signature sound.
Here are the best songs:

Blind- great opener and hit that started it all. Are u ready?

Clown- great guitars and overall kick ass song

Divine- great chorus and vocals and overall just awesome, possibly my favorite along with clown

Shoots and Ladders-nice change with the bagpipes, and i love the end with the thrashing guitars and drums

the other songs are all very good too, but i just mentioned these few because they are just awesome

Overall: this is a great cd with almost no flaws, that started a revolution in music ,new metal, too bad present day stuff isnt as good as this.

Buy this cd it is a classic! ... Read more

While not as comprehensive as their self-titled box set, this greatest-hits collection is an excellent introduction to the definitive Southern-rock band. If you've always wondered why people holler "Free Bird!" at bar bands, this album will show you, along with serving up several of Lynyrd Skynyrd's best songs: "Saturday Night Special," "What's Your Name," "Tuesday's Gone," and of course "Sweet Home Alabama." Some lesser-known but equally great songs are here as well: "Gimme Three Steps," "Whiskey Rock-a-Roller," and "That Smell." While some good material (notably "Needle and the Spoon" and "Working for MCA") is missing, this remains an excellent collection, highlighting the quality of the band's material, which is too often overshadowed by their good ol' boy image. --Genevieve Williams ...

Too Many Live Songs, But The Material Is Prime
I Love Lynyrd Skynyrd and this collection has alot of their best tunes, but it seems that every other tune is a live rendition... (i.e. "Free Bird", "gimme Three Steps", etc...) I wish Every song had been the original studio version then this would have been the perfect collection. But I will admit, however.... The live version of "Free Bird" is FANTASTIC! I found this for only 3 bucks so I do think I got my money's worth....

Pure Rockin' Satisfaction
This is an excellent compilation....my only gripe is that it contains the live version of the tune "Gimme Three Steps" which I honestly believe to be the finest song ever written. The live version is good, but the studio version is genius. Thankfully, there is a lot of other great material to be found here. Some Skynyrd is required for any self-respecting rock collection...start here.

Great Collection Of Lynyrd Skynyrd, But A Bit Brief
GOLD AND PLATINUM is a great collection of Lynyrd Skynyrd's classic 70s material. However, many classics, especially from SECOND HELPING, are missing. It would be better to start with THE ESSENTIAL LYNYRD SKYNYRD. ... Read more

STP's Finest Accomplishment
STP's Core came out during the grunge hype, but they sounded heavier than the grunge bands that were huge at the time. Many people attacked them for being Pearl Jam imitators, probably because Scott Weiland's voice was coarse and some compared him to Eddie Vedder, but if anything, their crunchy style sounded more in the league of Alice In Chains (circa Dirt).

Despite who they might be compared to, Core sounds original and fresh, and added more of a hard-rock bombast to the alternative scene, since the band boasted bands like Zeppelin as an influence, as opposed to Huser Du or the Sex Pistols. Eric Kretz's drumming sounds larger than life, and Dean DeLeo's guitars are screaming, and he is one of the most overlooked guitarists ever. For a debut, STP sounded like they connected very well early on in their career, and their compositions were very sophisticated and confident for a new act. Core still stands above the rest of their impressive catalogue, and still stands above a lot of music out there today, even after STP and their ilk of music seemed to 'go out of style.' This album is full of classics, like Creep, Plush, Crackerman, Sex Type Thing and Sin. One of the greatest rock albums ever.

A Huge Debut
Heavy riffage abounds on STP's formidable debut, as Scott Weiland begins with a muffled cry that is none too positive. From there, a thunderous snare pound by Eric Kretz sets "Core" off and running. "Core" is everything critics have made it out to be, both appraising and not so appraising. Yes, it is grungy. Yes, it does contain elements of Alice in Chains and Nirvana. Yes, "Core" is bombastic, lengthy, and ambitious, especially for a band accused of being full-fledged con artists. Finally, "Core" could be construed as a rather trendy, cliched album, in that it followed the overriding grunge-mania that the aforementioned groups had well established just minutes before. It's funny, however, how all that copy-cat talk now seems so irrelevant. With the early 90's well over, Stone Temple Pilots seem more pioneer rock artists than mere fakes, four people who actually made masterful songs at the onset of grunge. STP formed well before the members of Pearl Jam even knew each other (1987), and were even rumored to be a metal-like hair band in their infancy. Whatever, STP created a masterpiece with "Core." The album sounds almost "classic" these days, as countless rock/grunge/punk/electric/swing/rap-metal 90's acts create their "hit" and fall obscurely by the wayside, unrenowned for much of anything. Say this for the Pilots, they always get some sort of reaction. If rocking out was in vogue during the early 90's, "Core" sure didn't disappoint. "Sex Type Thing," "Sin," "Naked Sunday," and "Crackerman" are all cornerstones of the albums guitar-laden sound that put STP on the map and made them so popular. In their loud array of chugging riffs comes an undeniable pop melodicism, mixed with well written songs that are too good to be brushed off. What seperates the determined "Core" from such BUSH-league acts like Sponge is its tough themes, truly haunting sound, and its overall morose outlook, which is far from staged. The album is further set apart by the genuinely crafty songwriting, courtesy of the Deleo brothers. For his part, Weiland's lyrics don't shy from life's darker moments. Despite all this talk of darkeness, these songs are all radio-ready and meant for the masses. "Core" stands out for its boldness and heavy musical savvy.

STP's worst, but a solid foundation
This is a good album, but it's hard to listen to after listening to the following four STP albums. Weiland's voice lacks the vocal quality that it has on the next four albums, the songwriting lacks the melodic and artistic qualities that the next four albums have, and Core simply lacks the diversity that the next four albums have.

It's certainly a very good album to rock to, but it pales in comparison to the STP of the future. Purple was already several times more melodic than Core. Tiny Music expanded upon that with new vocals and several directions. No.4 combined Core and Purple with Tiny Music, and pumped out some nice power-ballads. Shangri-La was simply a beautiful artistic album. Core seems like a generic rocker compared to those.

Standouts here are Creep (the only different sounding song on the album, aside from the pointless "Wet My Bed" and "No Memory.") and Plush (a classic). The rest of the album is just a collection of good/decent rock songs, that could be best described as filler. As I said, not a bad album, but a good rock album and a good start. But it has nothing on the STP that would develop over the rest of the decade. ... Read more

1989's Straight Outta Compton, by Dre's previous outfit N.W.A., may have shined the public spotlight on the genre, but The Chronic legitimized it. That is not to say that Snoop Doggy Dogg (The Chronic marks his debut) and Dre's raps are for everyone; the subject matter is the sex, drugs, violence, and politics of South Central Los Angeles, and the phrasing is explicit, to say the least. But The Chronic's real genius is the music. By breeding hip-hop, jazz (studio instrumentation includes saxophones and flutes), funk, and soul (sampled artists include Parliament, Donny Hathaway, and Isaac Hayes), Dre creates downright intoxicating grooves. If you can't feel The Chronic pulsating through your veins, maybe your heart's not pumping. --Bill Crandall ... Read more

nuthin but a classic
"The Chronic" is definately one of the best rap albums ever made. It's so perfect because it brought the West Coast beats back alive and every track is tight as, which is what I really look for in rap music. Every time I see an album with Dr. Dre's name on it, I know it's gonna be a tight album because Dr. Dre is simply rap's finest producer ever and his beats are unbelievable and magnificent. All 16 tracks proves this point and to other rappers (except for 2PAC and BIGGIE), it just shows that the other rappers are like ants to Dre. Expect guest appearances from RBX, Daz, Nate Dogg, Kurupt, Lady of Rage and Snoop Dogg.

'Nuthin But a "G" Thang' is simply the best song on the CD and to make things better, it was voted 2nd best rap song made. It's quite chilling and kind of a relaxing song to listen to when you've just had mary-jane. "F*ckin Wit Dre Day" is a diss song aimed at Eazy-E. It's quite sad that these 2 became enemies because they were a fine team around their N.W.A years. Other classics on the CD are "Lil' Ghetto Boy" which outlines a young, black youth's life but the real gem of the CD is without a doubt, "Stranded on Death Row". This is simply one of the BEST songs I'VE EVER HEARD but the sad thing is that Dre isn't on the track. Such a dark but wicked as beat, he should have released this song.

Every album with Dre's name on it, you know that the album is going to be tight. For those that don't like Dre, think again. Dre is one of the most producers of rap music and will continue to be a genius.

Definitely A Favorite Of Mine!
This is one of those unique albums you never get enough of. The album is classic from beginning to the end. Dr. Dre and his then fellow label makers hit you with gangsta shhh, straigth up! This introduced the infamous Snoop Doggy Dogg to the rap game together with Tha Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg, The Lady of Rage and RBX (all members of Death Row back in the day). This was realesed in the golden era of Death Row Records (92-96). I wont mention favorite songs 'cause the pretty much all hot. You can chill to this, have an old school party or sit back and smoke a fat ass joint. As Dre says himself. It's The Chronic goddammit! If you're callin yourself a rap fan without this one, get it as fast as possible! Classic!

Took a while to get used to...
but once I did, I started listening to it every day. I had been listening to a lot of newer hip hop so it was hard to tune into this, but after I did I realized how great the album really was. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes hip hop. ... Read more

Editorial Review

It's fitting that the Kid Rock revival got started when the Beastie Boys featured him in their Grand Royal magazine--and not because the kid from Detroit shares their skin tone. Rock has often been compared with the early Beasties--the boys of "Fight for Your Right to Party" and "Brass Monkey," the boys no one ever thought would grow up. With lines like "I ain't straight outta Compton, I'm straight out the trailer" and "I started an escort service--for all the right reasons," it's obvious that Kid Rock doesn't aim to follow suit. But that's no hindrance to Devil--backed by the funky metal band Twisted Brown Trucker and special guests like blues vets Robert Bradley and Thronetta Davis, Rock is hosting one hell of an interesting party. Ultimately, Rock's party is great, schlocky fun, equal parts old Beasties and Sebastian Bach--making Devil a guilty pleasure, the Starship Troopers of hip-hop. --Randy Silver ... Read more

This Will Make You a Believer
Guns N'Roses are gone. Led Zeppelin is history. Aerosmith has been clean for years. The Rolling Stones are living, breathing anachronisms. Rod Stewart is a pop singer. And hip hop bands don't use live bands with loud guitars. Is the modern music scene hopeless?

Nope. It's alive and dangerous. For those of us who miss loud guitars and controversial lyrics, Kid Rock has come to the rescue.

If you are a hard rock fan and can keep from banging your head during "Bawidaba," you don't have the volume loud enough. If you don't bang your head after the piano break in "Cowboy," you need to buy Pat Boone's "In a Metal Mood." If you don't sing along to the bridge in "Roving Gangster," perhaps you need to take your a** to the early-bird special at Denny's and take your geritol.

If you miss the danger of G N'R, you'll love the drug-glorifying jams of "I Am the Bullgod" and "Where You at Rock?"

While I've never been a fan of hip hop, I must say I thoroughly enjoy the drug-glamorizing, braggadoccio of Kid Rock's "Devil Without a Cause." Imagine the Beastie Boys merged with G n' R, Zeppelin, and Skynyrd and you have Kid Rock.

If you're looking for modern music with the edginess of the backporch of a house overlooking the Pacific in SoCal, this is it.

A lot better than I thought it would be
"Devil Without A Cause" is a lot better than I thought it would be. It opens up with "Bawitdaba", which is one of the best song's on the CD. My other favorites are "Devil Without A Cause", "I Am The Bullgod" and "F-ck Off". If you like rap-rock than you should get this CD. ... Read more

Also known as the "rune" album or Zoso because of the medieval symbols adorning the inner sleeve, Led Zeppelin's fourth album, released in 1971, turned them from mere superstars into giant behemoths of the rock world. On tracks like "Black Dog," "Misty Mountain Hop," and "Rock and Roll," the combination of Robert Plant's banshee wails and Jimmy Page's frenetic guitar playing forever altered the stylistic bent of hard rock music. And the foreboding "When the Levee Breaks" demonstrated that Zeppelin could indeed play the blues fairly straight if they so desired. Still, everything here ultimately took a back seat to the album's (and, ultimately, the band's) magnum opus--the expertly constructed and deftly executed classic, "Stairway to Heaven." --Billy Altman ...

Arguably Zeppelin's finest hour
After the critical hammering and somewhat commercial sales of Led Zeppelin III, English hard rock legends Led Zeppelin struck back with their classic untitled fourth album. The album kicks off with the Top 20 charting classic Black Dog which was a great opener with Robert Plant's vocals kicking ass. Also, Jimmy Page's guitar work, John Paul Jones' bass playing and drummer John Bonham just kicked ass on the track. The rocking Rock and Roll follows and is a superb track. The Battle of Evermore follows and is a great folk song with Robert and the late Sandy Denny singing lead vocals. Next is the album's classic Stairway to Heaven, always voted greatest rock song ever. At eight minutes, this song has held up well, even today. The heavy Misty Mountain Hop follows and is a killer song. The track Four Sticks follows and is so-named that Bonham used two drumsticks per hand whilst recording this track. The folk-tinged Going to California follows and is another great song. The album closes with the bluesy When the Levee Breaks which is a kick ass rocker with killer harmonica work from Plant and slide work from Page. This album has sold over 21 million in the US alone because of the material within and not because of the name. It may have peaked at #2 in 1971 but is consistently voted greatest hard rock album ever and Zeppelin proved that the band was about SUBSTANCE and not style(unlike other acts that permiate music today). Highly recommended!

A DEFINING MOMENT IN ROCK 'N ROLL HISTORY
By 1971 Led Zeppelin were no longer strangers to the music industry. They were one of the leading bands during that time and it was a big year for rock 'n roll. Led Zeppelin's fourth album is arguably one of their greatest. It only had eight tracks but these songs defined rock 'n roll music.

Although truly Led Zeppelin IV is not a huge change from the group's previous albums it is none the less one of the band's best albums. It has more variety than their earlier albums. Whether it be hard rockers like Led Zeppelin I or II or beauitful acoustics similar to Led Zeppelin III this album has both styles.

The opening track BLACK DOG is a huge rock classic that has been considered by many one of Zeppelin's best tunes.
ROCK 'N ROLL basically defines the genre of music as wild raw and raunchy. BATTLE OF EVERMORE is amazing check out the mandolin! Of course everyone knows STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN Led Zeppelin's most popular song and it was never released as a single! MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP is a fun tune. I find FOUR STICKS is kind of repetitive and the weakest song here but it is still listenable. GOING TO CALIFORNIA is a beautiful acoustic ballad with a touch of mandolin. And finally WHEN THE LEVEE BREAKS is an awesome hard rock closer.

In conclusion Led Zeppelin IV is perhaps the band's best album although it is not my personal favourite (Led Zeppelin II is for me) it is definelty one of the group's finest works.
The bottom line is if you don't have this album you are not a true Led Zeppelin fan because this is truly a Rock 'n roll monument! Highly recommended!

One of the definitive rock albums of all time!
Alright, to kick off this review I would like to assure everyone that the Avril Lavigne#1 fan was obviously a joke account satirizing modern pop culture (being 13 I can see right through this)I'm going to give a step by step review of what I think of this album:

Black Dog (9/10) What a great way to kick off an album! rocking riffs from Page and screaming vocals from plant define this track, a great way to get motivated.

Rock n' Roll (8/10) Another great track with wailing vocals from Robert Plant, the only flaw is that it can be repetitive at times, but otherwise this song is great.

The Battle of Evermore (9/10) A bit laidback compared to the previous two tracks but beautiful nevertheless. The lyrics with Sandy Denny's vocals add a great presence to this Zep track.

Stairway to Heaven (10/10)I'm going to be different in saying that this is definitely not the greatest song of all time, but it's a classic, an epic. And a song with such variety packed into less than 10 minutes has yet to be duplicated. (Especially by Slipknot)

Misty Mountain Hop (8/10) You cant go wrong with this one, Very interesting vocals throughout the whole of it. A bit too poppy for my tastes.

Four Sticks (6/10) A decent track, great drumming from Bonham throughout, but it doesn't have much else going for it.

Going To California (9/10) Pretty folksy for Zep. The first time I heard this on the radio i fell asleep, I know that doesn't sound complimenting but it also happened with "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by The Beatles, and it's a good thing.

When The Levee Breaks (8/10) A very strange sounding track that's a trip and nothing less. Heavy Blues is what I would call it. ... Read more

Editorial Review

If Nevermind's sound is familiar now, it's only because thousands of rock records that followed itwere trying very hard to cop its style. It tears out of the speakers like a cannonball, from the punk-turbo-charged riff of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" onward, magnifying and distilling the wounded rage of 15 years of the rock underground into a single impassioned roar. Few albums have occupied the cultural consciousness like this one; of its 12 songs, roughly 10 are now standards. The record's historical weight can make it hard to hear now with fresh ears, but the monumental urgency of Kurt Cobain's screams is still shocking. --Douglas Wolk ... Read more

Never Mind is Right
Nirvana is a band which arrived at the perfect time. Selling their wares of teen angst and alienation, they appealed to a wide audience of disaffected Generation Xers. They were a group that played simple and catchy semi-punk rock songs and ultimately made it big. Despite this, I do not dislike Nirvana, but when people start talking about them in the same vein as Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, and other great musicians, I have to laugh. Kurt Cobain was a troubled artist and his lyrics come out honestly and forcefully. But the music itself does not measure up to the all-time rock and roll greats. In one of his songs, Kurt sings, "I'm worse at what I do best and for this gift I feel blessed, I found it hard to find, oh well, whatever, never mind." This lyric as well as the album cover are the band's way of revealing that they sold out to appeal to a broader audience. And make no mistake about it, Nevermind is a sell-out album. Although only subtly dishonest, it is abundantly clear that Nevermind was a slick con-job perpetrated by a band that needed to cash in on the grunge trend. I give it 2.5 stars.

Maybe even underated perhaps?
'Nevermind' let down no-one, their fans and newly converted alike appetites had been whetted by "Smells Like Teen Spirit", anthem for a blank generation, for all the people who'd given up before they had started. Kurt Cobain had condensed the collective frustration/despair/apathy into a slice of pop genious not witnessed sinced the Sex Pistols heyday. "Come As You Are" is another piece of semi-acoustic bruised beauty while "Territorial Pissings" is as extreme as the record goes. Most of the other tracks lay somewhere inbetween, Cobain never letting the intensity level down for a minute, whether on the deceptively breezy "In Bloom" or the stinging "Breed". For a three peice, the group made one hell of a racket, but it was a racket which was never less than 100% focused, the Dave Grohl/Chris Novoselic rhythmic powerhouse underpinning every track with diamond-edged precision.

It's fair to say that 'Nevermind' literally changed the face of music, a crushing new sound for all types of music fans to celebrate. A pivotal record for a pivotal group.

If somehow you don't own this record, go out and spend some extremely worthwile cash!

I've never listened to this album, but...
A friend of bought this album four months ago after repeatedly reading how utterly fantastic it was,how it was probably the greatest album ever. Today he uses it as a coaster for cups of coffee. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Part of the '90s Seattle grunge triumvirate completed by Nirvana and Soundgarden, Pearl Jam debuted with Ten, their most accessible, least self-conscious album. Over time, PJ's rep as a politically correct band just a little too above it all to prostitute its music on MTV has nearly superseded the music. But before that, they were a simply an in-your-face, in-your-head, loud, melodic rock band. And lead singer Eddie Vedder was known for his possessed stage presence and a primal growl that sounded like it required three vocal chords. The personal, narrative singles "Alive," "Jeremy," and "Even Flow" catapulted the reluctant band into the 10-million-plus-sales division. Subsequent albums are more intricate, subtle, thematically complex, and, in many ways, better than Ten. But the band may never repeat the stampede caused by this debut. --Beth Bessmer ... Read more

The Beginning Of A Dynasty
Okay everyone knows how Pearl Jam came to be, the members of Pearl Jam rooted in the seattle bands Green River, and Mother Love Bone, its lead singer (Eddie Vedder) who was with the seattle supergroup, Temple of the Dog. Ten was their debut release following the heels of the groundbreaking "Nevermind" by Nirvana. Everyone also knows it would be Ten that would launch Pearl Jam in the same orbit as Nirvana. but lets break down what Ten is, although it is Pearl Jam's most commercially sucessful album to date (due to the following albums absence of music videos, which i fully support), the sum is greater than its parts. Aside from Evenflow and Jeremy, we have the sonic rocker Deep which i find is sort of Eddie Vedders road map to stardom. The deep perplexic Garden, The gorgeous ballad Oceans, To the most underrated track in the Pearl Jam catalog, the moving Release. Which sometimes makes me still cry after all these years. Some say this is the album for all new Pearl Jam listners to get, I say get it because its the foundation. Even if your looking for something listen to or a group to get into, pick this one up and discover the dynasty's foundation.

Emotional Release, Not Pent Up Anger
Admittedly I don't take to Pearl Jam the way many of their more hardcore fans do. I understand that PJ represents a complete change in the music scene, but as far as the "these guys changed my life" sentiments, I'll have to pass.

What PJ and their debut album Ten are at heart is good rock. PJ are a throwback to the 60s when rock was supposed to send a message to the listener. Personally I've always found those types of recordings a bit preachy. But PJ does it in such a way that it's more of a release than a burden to listen to.

Ten deals more with emotional letting go and dealing with things than in the actual rage that you bottle up because of these awful things. In this respect they are the exact opposite of Nirvana. It is the release of this rage and the catharsis that it brings on that makes Ten an emotionally charged album.

Ten is easily PJ's most rock oriented album. There's little experimentation here. The songs are basic and they rock. Ten is not my personal PJ favorite, but it's a very close second to Vs.

Fantastic music, great debut album
Not so often, have I seen and heard so much good music on one record. I got the album two years after it was released and it was like an explosion, literally, at least for me. I was a little bit sceptical at the beginning, especially not liking Nirvana, but so surprised after hearing it. It was nothing like anything I heard before. The music is absolutely absorbing, breathtaking and soulful at the same time, great guitar playing, good rock with still enough rhythm to be listened to by the crowd. Not to talk about Eddie Vedder's voice and his way of singing. The first time I heard Alive I couldn't believe anybody can have a voice like that and can sing a great and said story like Jeremy or deeply personal lyrics like Alive or Black so well. Truly amazing. I would recommend this album to absolutely everybody who appreciates good music, good lyrics, and great voice. Probaly the best voice.... ... Read more

Editorial Review

An introductory drum roll drops out and is replaced by a single suspended electric guitar, which is then paralleled by a snare, filled in with the bass, and--crash!--"Cherub Rock," the opening track, is enveloped in an explosion of metal guitar. So the journey begins. This album is pre-experimentation vintage Pumpkins. Produced by Butch Vig (Garbage, Sonic Youth, Nirvana's Nevermind), Siamese Dream is first about guitars. Lots and lots of guitars. A very close second is Jimmy Chamberlain's unquestionably excellent power drumming. Throughout each song, Billy Corgan delivers angsty lyrics in his signature breathy whine. "Disarm" is a nice intermission halfway though the album. As the title of the song suggests, it throws the listener into a different mood with its full string arrangements and radiant orchestral chimes. But then it is back to the aural masochism--a pain that rarely sounds so sweet. --Beth Bessmer ... Read more

Classic, Pure and Simple
The Pumpkins' follow-up to GISH is right up there with AENIMA and OK COMPUTER as one of the top five albums of the 1990's. From the album's five-star average you can probably surmise that this is an exceptionally good record, so I won't spend any time raving. Even despite Billy's unusual (if at times annoying) vocals, the sheer power and range of this music, which remains very melodic and well-written at all times, shoves NEVERMIND, TEN, and possibly even DIRT out of the way as the best Grunge-era album.

The main singles from this album are "Today" and "Disarm." While both great songs (well, at least the former), they are easily outshined by several other tracks. I'd have to say "Mayonnaise" (Track 9) is by far the best Smashing Pumpkins song ever released; if you're looking for one track to download to sample the album before buying, make sure this is it. "Hummer" is not far behind; that section between about 4:30 and 5:30 ("Ask yourself a question...") somehow sends chills down my spine every time. Other five-star tracks include "Cherub Rock," "Quiet," "Soma" and "Luna."

All in all, this is the high point of the Pumpkins' career, as it manages to expand greatly upon GISH but avoid the tedious experimental sounds found from this point on. The five-star average ought to say something; even classic records like AENIMA cannot pull this off. The bottom line is that this, one of the best rock releases of all time, defined the alt-rock sound of the 1990's and performed it better than any of the copycats, and manages to be both accessible and deep. Don't hesitate to pick up a copy if you're a fan of any type of rock music.

Siamese Dream
When SIAMESE DREAM was initially released in the summer of 1993 it was hailed as alternative rock's first great post-NEVERMIND hope. And while it has gone on to become an overwhelming commercial success, it has also helped further re-draw the artistic borders of "alternative" music.

By combining neo-psychedelic AOR guitars (band-members proudly claim Boston as an influence) with Pumpkin auteur Billy Corgan's "outsider" lyrical stance, SIAMESE DREAM creates a rebel image; but one with a wandering eye towards mainstream acceptance as well. Consequently, Smashing Pumpkins are equally successful relating to young lollapaloozers and to classic rock radio.

The album's immediate attraction is plain to see. Corgan and co-producer Butch Vig have sculpted a sonic wall of guitars--in some cases, using up to 32 separate guitar tracks on a single song--that is electrifying in its sheer scope and power. Along with Jimmy Chamberlain's powerhouse drumming, guitarists Corgan and James Iha's thick sound endows SIAMESE DREAM with a fresh feel that holds up even on repeated listens--and how many other "top ten" albums can yousay that about?

This is my favorite record of all time.
There aren't enough good things to say about "Siamese Dream". In my opinion, it's flawless; there is no filler and no note is wasted. The Smashing Pumpkins were unique, no other band could have written these songs, with all it's twists and turns. This has Billy Corgan's best lyrics as well.

"Cherub Rock" starts it all. It was the first single released back in 1993. "Cherub Rock" shows that Billy Corgan can sing. It has plenty of guitars of course. 10/10

"Quiet" is a real good rocker. The guitars churn, it's amazing. This is as heavy as it gets on the record (which isn't really heavy by my standards). 8/10

"Today" was the second single, and it is definitely one of the top ten singles of the 90's. Enough said. 10/10

"Hummer" is something only the Smashing Pumpkins could have wrote. It's great. It just twists and turns, goes from quiet to loud to quiet again, and it's almost 7 minutes long. This is probably my favorite song. The lyrics are great too. 10/10

"Rocket" I think was a single, well the Smashing Pumpkins have a video for it at least. I used never care for this song, but after seeing on the internet the Pumpkins playing this live, I became a fan of the song. It's another song that only the Pumpkins could have written, because it meanders and there's no chorus. Once again, I like the lyrics. 10/10

"Disarm" was the third single from this record. It has excellent lyrics to it. I guess the bells and violins in the song might bother people. But it doesn't bother me at all. 10/10

"Soma" starts off slow and dreamy and rocks at the end. I don't like it as much as I used to, but don't get me wrong, this is still an excellent song. 8/10

"Geek U.S.A." rawks. It is my second favorite track. You have to hear a live version of this song, it's just incredible. I don't think that anybody but Billy Corgan could have thought up this rocker. 10/10

"Mayonaise" is many people's favorite SD song. I think it's great. The beginning sort of reminds me of "Tuesday's Gone" by Lynard Skynard. I can't believe this wasn't released as a single for radio play! James Iha co-wrote this one. 10/10

"Spaceboy" is about Billy Corgan's brother. It means a lot to him. But I still think this is probably is the weakest track on "Siamese Dream". 7/10

"Silverf**k" is pretty cool. It has real hard rock moments at the beginning and at the end. In between in is like a dream rock sequence. It's the longest song, clocking in at 8 min. 43 seconds. 8/10

"Sweet Sweet" is a nice little short song. It sounds like something that could have been on "Mellon Collie". 9/10

"Luna" is a quiet lullaby to end a great album. 9/10

I admit, I'm a little biased about "Siamese Dream". It is my favorite album by my favorite band. But I do recommend that you buy "Siamese Dream" because it has little bit for everybody. Plus it's an excellent introduction the Smashing Pumpkins. ... Read more

Editorial Review

One of the defining albums of thrash metal, Master of Puppets is arguably Metallica's best album (as well as their last with bassist Cliff Burton). Focusing on the concept of power and abuses thereof, this is a collection of complex, intelligent music, played at about a hundred miles an hour. Not that these are short songs; this eight-song album clocks in at over an hour, which makes it all the more impressive that not one moment on this recording is boring. In tackling various approaches to their subject, Metallica is insightful lyrically as well as musically: "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" is from the point of view of an institutionalized inmate and "Disposable Heroes" is the perspective of a soldier. If all you've heard of Metallica is what's been on the radio recently, check this one out. You're in for a surprise. --Genevieve Williams ... Read more

Aggressive music
This album, in my opinion, is the pinnacle of Metallica's career. It is a 55 minute thrash-fest. But it's not just banging on drums. This album exhibits true musicianship, some intelligent lyrics (which most people don't listen to), and some great work. Most Nu-Metal bands can't hold a candle to Metallica, which is sad because that's what most people listen to. Anyway here's a breakdown of each song:

1. Battery- Starts out with a nice spanish sounding guitar piece and builds into a fast song. Nice opener. 10/10
2. Master of Puppets- A song about drug addiction. Slower than battery, but still heavy anyway, and an amazing solo. 10/10
3. The Thing That Should Not Be- Slow again, but also heavy. It's not the best song but it's not the worst. 9/10
4. Welcome Home (Sanitarium)- Start's out with a clean guitar into a surprisingly faster and heavier middle/ending. 10/10
5. Disposable Heroes- Amazing anti-war song, and amazing speed. This song can seriously can hold your attention for the 8:30 it goes. 10/10
6. Leper Messiah- I don't like this song, and I skip it because of that. So I can't write a proper review. ?/10
7. Orion- An instrumental. I absolutely hate this one too, but I will give credit to Cliff Burton who gave a good bass solo. 3/10
8. Damage, Inc.- My personal favorite song on this album. This song is amazingly fast. 10/10
Overall, even with the one (not including Leper Messiah) weak song, I give this a five out of five.

hetfield of play
Metallica's third full length release, Master of Puppets, is possibly their finest work. The lyrics are smart, the fast sections(and I mean fast) are impossibly tight, and the slow sections are melodic and chilling. James Hetfield's vocals aren't exactly pretty, but his intensity matches the music perfectly. Drummer Lars Ulrich manages to hold things together through myriad tempo changes and time signatures(not an easy task) but bassist Cliff Burton seems to get lost in the mix at times. Not to knock Cliff. Listen close in "Sanitarium" and "Orion" and you'll hear some of the best rock and roll bass ever recorded. Lead guitarist Kirk Hammett is a chameleon, blending in as the situation calls; he is at times frenzied, at others morose. James Hetfield's rhythm guitar work is so fast and precise one wonders how in the world he manages to sing while playing. The production is a little rough but even that seems to fit. All in all, it's scary how good this album is. Listen and see why in 1986 all of the heavy metal haters were scratching their heads and saying, "wow, these guys can really play."

One Word, SUCKY
I can't stand Metallica, they're the absolute worst band ever. Thats right all you old metal lovers, WORST BAND EVER. I don't get what some people see in them, the lead singer has the worst singing voice ever, and the lyrics are all about stupid stuff that stupid bands like Metallica sing about. The songs also are way too long, they can't even make a song under 7 minutes. All that this awful band does is just play guitair solos, cause thats all they can do. I can see why this band was popular 13 years ago, but not now. If there is anything positive about them, if anything. It's their old music when rock actually was played like that. Not now, now rock is good, and Metallica is screwing it up, their newest cd St.Anger and ecpessily that single is the worst cd ever. Look at your calenders all you Metallica fans, it's not the 80's anymore, its freakin 2004. Metallica sucks! ... Read more
