Album Review- Lamb of God “Resolution”

Yeah, if you are into Lamb of God, there's no reason you shouldn't dig "Resolution".

Pretty much since 2006’s “Sacrament”, the Virginia based metal juggernauts Lamb of God have the most anticipated metal album of the year. For most of their career, the band has delivered punishing albums with stunning precision and [...]

Top 10 Metal Albums of 2011 (that I listened to…)

Machine Head is #1. See Revolver, we got it right- unlike you guys.

10. Animals as Leaders- Weightless- If Dave Davidson is the up and coming thrash metal god, Tosin Abasi is the virtuoso of the new school. On the group’s sophomore album, the intricate guitar work on “Odessa” and “Earth Departure” [...]

Album Review- Black Keys “El Camino”

"El Camino" is another strong album in the Black Keys catalog.

Back when I first saw the Black Keys in 2004, they came out of the garage rock era that housed 20,000 other bands trying to pull off a similar sound. But what stood out about the band was the fact that they [...]

Album Review- Korn “The Path to Totality”

"Totality" is an bold move that works- some of the time.

After Korn released the back to basics “III: Remember Who You Are” back in the summer of 2010, which sounded strong, but met with complete indifference from fans- the band decided to switch things up a little bit. Growing tired of [...]

Album Review- Steel Panther “Balls Out”

"Balls Out" is more ballsy on the musical chops than the jokes.

If you know and hang around me, most people could probably tell you what album I’ve listened to the most in the past 2 years. Yep, Steel Panther’s “Feel The Steel” would take the cake. Rude, raunchy, unapologetic and [...]

Album Review- Megadeth “Thirteen”

Megadeth's new album- out today and nowhere near as bad as "Lulu".

If you haven’t guessed it by the title, this is Megadeth’s 13th album and after the last two albums (2007’s “United Abominations” and 2009’s “Endgame), the longtime thrash metal band has been hitting a renewed creative spark after some questionable albums [...]

Album Review- Mastodon “The Hunter”

"The Hunter" isn't as weird as you think and might actually get some radio play.

”Fun” has been a term thrown around a lot in early reviews of Mastodon’s fifth album “The Hunter”. When I think of Mastodon albums, I think generally of terms like “majestic”, “great” and “heavy” to properly describe [...]

Album Review- Machine Head “Unto the Locust”

"Locust" is a worthy follow up to the unbelievable "The Blackening".

Machine Head’s 2007 album “The Blackening” was has been the high water mark of any metal album since it’s release four and a half years ago. Anytime a great album shows up recently, this is the modern metal album that you [...]

Album Review- Anthrax “Worship Music”

"Worship Music": not groundbreaking, but defintely worth the listen.

Yeah, yeah- I’m sure you’ve heard my take on the state of the thrash metal titans Anthrax over the past several years at some point in another. I’m sure you heard my disdain of the over dumping new singer Dan Nelson, passing on [...]

Album Review- Incubus “If Not Now, When?”

Incubus challenges their fans on "If Not Now, When?" and is sure to cause lively debate.

After listening to the band’s 2009 track “Black Heart Inertia”, it felt like Incubus was getting back to basics, albeit a little more toned down version of the band, but it felt like a good step [...]
