AC/DC has always been one of those bands that anybody could listen to. Regardless of what else was on your iPod, AC/DC was rarely a band that stuck out like a sore thumb. AC/DC Live is, well, AC/DC performing live (I hope I didn't have to tell you that). I, for one, have never really been too big of a fan of live albums, but this one is extremely well produced. It seems a bit more personal and alive as well, since you can hear the crowd and Angus and all them men. This album is also a very definitive collection of AC/DC's works. Hells Bells, Dirty Deeds, For Those About To Rock, Thunderstruck, Shoot To Thrill... They're all here. I don't suppose I need to inform you of AC/DC's sound, but I guess I must (this is a review after all). AC/DC plays hard rock with lots of riffs and is highly sexually charged. Every member of AC/DC has fucked more women than you have seen. A lot of people say they listen to AC/DC to look cool. AC/DC does not stand for anything satanic or homosexual. AC/DC were once called upon to destroy an asteroid that would destroy earth. They played in a crater and rocked so damn hard they destroyed the whole thing. AC/DC are one of the serious figureheads in hard rock and heavy metal. This was my first album in my entire life (so naturally, I'm a bit biased).

Genre: Brutal Death Metal
Year: 2007

A quick glance can tell us what we need to know here. How brutal is this artist? Check the name. Aborted. Seems disgusting enough. Album name check: Slaughter & Apparatus: A Methodical Overture. Long-winded album title that hints at themes of dismemberment and gore. Check, seems brutal. Album artwork: some nigga is just chillin there, but he looks like a zombie sewn out of various other parts. Also looks unhappy. Check, that's pretty gosh darn brutal. Track names: use big words to display the simple ideas of murder and gore and darkness. Check, we've got a pretty fucking brutal band here. But how brutal do they sound? Well, let's find out. I'll check out The Spaying Séance, because it has a non english character in it. OK, chug chug chug goes the guitars, boom boom boom goes the double bass, growl growl growl goes the vocalist. Seems formulaic enough. But The Spaying Séance, as most of the album, does not seem to fall into the trap of being pidgeon-holed into either Technical or Melodic Death Metal. The riffs are more than two seconds, but it isn't all soaring melodies. That' s a nice change. And the vocalist doesn't goregrind growl ALL the time. Some times he utilizes a metalcore scream, which can shift things up a bit. And the solo on The Spaying Séance is currently melting my face oh shit aaaaahhhhhhhhh

Grade: 8.5/10

Abandonded Pools - Armed To The Teeth

TO START WITH:
I am doing an experiment where i am burning all of my CDs back on to my computer as 320 kb mp3s, so that way you can download everything i own in the best possible quality. i'm going to be going by alphabetical order, so if you want another method, just let me know.

Tracklist:
1. Lethal Killers
2. Rabble
3. The Catalyst
4. Tighter Noose
5. Waiting To Panic
6. Hunting (The Universe Breaks My Heart)
7. Armed To The Teeth
8. Sooner Or Later
9. Sailing Seas
10. Renegade
11. Maybe Then Someday
12. Goodbye Song

Genre: Alternative Rock/Indie

Well, the first artist I have lined up in this little experiment is Abandonded Pools. Abandoned Pools is Tommy Walter, one of the founders and previous bassists for Eels. At first, Tommy's falsetto voice may draw allusions to Coldplay or other whiny third rate Radiohead imitators, but the songwriting is much better than that crowd's. The songs generally seem to have tight guitar leads accompanied by a chorus line, and it's done well. Walter's lyrics can seem cheesey, but that's mostly due to the falsetto he delivers them in. In reality, a lot of the lyrics seem to be very well thought out, although at times they can be a little cliche. All in all, this is a tight little album that has brought me much listening pleasure.

Grade: 8/10

Angelspit - Krankhaus

Angelspit is probably as close to actually accessible industrial you may find. It's not bad, though. It sounds industrial with heavy dance themes, but retains some sort of metal edge still. Good for an introduction to industrial music, for the synths are still harsh, beats are intense, and lyrics are pretty hardcore, but you can actually understand what the fuck they're saying.

ATTENTION:::

WE AREN'T DEAD [yet]

ALSO

all filese are in mp3 format, niggas. so REJOICE.

Just when all hope seemed gone, the infamous Nivek Ogre and cEvin Key finally got back together to make some more music magic. Unfortunately, this album really split the fanbase. Some people were able to dig it (lol pun), whereas others were saddened by the new direction SP had taken. The sound here is very little like, say, Too Dark Park or Mind: The Perpetual Intercourse. The electronic beats here are a lot crisper and clean than older Puppy. In fact, some songs, such as "I'mmortal" and "Pro-Test" seem to have a little pop in them. That's not to say that this isn't the SP we all know in love. Not at all. It still has the classic sound to it, it's just... different. I really like this album. I can't really compare it to Too Dark Park, for it is very different. It's apples and oranges, ya know? But seriously, this is a good album, as can only be delivered by Skinny Puppy.

NOTE: Sorry for not delivering the goods in so long, life gets busy sometimes. But I will try to upload again in the next 2 days so that we can get on a more regular schedule. Sorry folks :^(

Gojira - From Mars To Sirius

In the metal genre, we hear a lot of bands that sound the same. That is not so with Gojira. Gojira does not compromise heaviness for it's creativity, however. The guitars are heavy, the vocals are harsh (but not in that generic cookie monster way. It's more of a harsh yell then a growl), and the drums utilize the infamous double bass. But damn, these guys can shred. And their lyrical content isn't your average slog of death and anti-Christian overtones. Songs like Global Warming and Flying Whales show a slightly more different approach to lyrics than many other metal bands. And the song Backbone... Damn, man. Good shit. To be short, Gojira injects the much needed creativity into the metal genre, and sacrifices nothing for it. A must have album for metal fans.

ALSO: I am sorry about the YT link in the Slaves On Dope album. It has been remedied with the actual Mediafire link. Please enjoy :>

ohGr - Welt

Some of you may be familiar with the name ohGr. It's actually Nivek Ogre from the band Skinny Puppy. In his solo project, he creates sublime electronic music that isn't necessarily industrial. The music is generally upbeat and even danceable at times, and the lyrics aren't really that distorted. The singles, Cracker and Pore, seem to stand out as the best songs on the album, but to be honest, there isn't really any down time here. If you're looking for very well done electro-industrial, look no further. ohGr is here.

Slaves On Dope - Inches From The Mainline

Slaves On Dope is kind of hard to classify, but none the less very good. I guess Nu Metal would be the proper classification. The music is hard and energetic. The vocals are often either pure speaking or pure screaming. The lyrics aren't the deepest around, but that's fine. Vulgar and offensive, lyrics like "fuck you, fucker" and songs like "Bitch Slap" show what this band is about. Don't expect to listen to SOD and get your regular hard rock. Expect angsty screaming and thrashing. That's not to say that this group isn't good. In fact, I like them a lot. Anyway, enjoy.

Front Line Assembly - Civilization

This is the first Front Line Assembly I've ever had, and is one of the best. Here, we can here Bill Leeb's over 20 years of experience come together and create a masterpiece. The first two tracks, Psychosomatic and Maniacal, are classic dancefloor stompers in the classic FLA style. The rest, however, show a deeper, more involved approach. The songs are more, well, ambient (lacking a better word). Tracks such as the title track and Transmitter are amazingly well put together songs that aim for someone other than the average industrial dance club attendee. They are masterful works of art (yeah I know I'm sucking a lot of dick here). That' s all I can say it is. Definitely an album for your industrial or electronica listener.
