Machine Head : The Blackening. Where do I begin? It all started a long time ago with Burn My Eyes. That resulted in ultimate success and even though other albums recieved praise, never matched to their debut. However, with the release of The Blackening not only have they surpassed that in which they created from Burn My Eyes but have surpassed all other musicians in the world.
Each and every song contained on this album is a gigantic, mega, epic song of brutal riffs and fantastic guitar work, bass work and drumming work.
Clenching The Fists Of Dissent is the intro track to the album. This song is just over 10 minutes long and each and every minute is more interesting than your average song. And that's times 10. And the solo is out of this world. Absolutely incredible. A personal favourite.
Beautiful Mourning has to follow an ultimate masterpiece and does that by changes the style and creating this rhythmic brilliance that lives up to the name of this mega, colassal album.
Aesthetics Of Hate is the single of the album. This song has so many incredible riffs in one song it's unbelievalbe. Truly brilliant. A personal favourite.
Now I Lay Thee Down is another epic song. And it manages to grab attention from other epic songs in just about 5 minutes.
Slanderous may be one of the coolest songs in the world. This song does not stop being incredible for one second. No joke. A personal favourite.
Halo is just so amazing. It's like a fantastic movie that you journey through in 9 minutes and once you've seen you want to see it again and again. Another personal favourite.
Wolves may just be Machine Head's greatest ever song. Not only the complexity but at the level in which it is pulled off is just outstanding. There are so many incredible riffs here it's just inspiring. A personal favourite.
A Farewell To Arms. The final song to this epic masterpiece. This song is so whole and fruitful, it's a fantastic way to end the album. A final personal favourite.

I've said it and I'll say it again. This album is absolutely incredible. If you haven't bought it, buy it now. However...if you don't like metal then don't by it. If you do, you will be amazed at it's brilliance. Essential stuff. Not owning this album, is like not being allowed to have the sense of touch.

In Flames are a band that have always been good at what they do. And what they do is create some brilliant Melodic Death Metal. They have had a huge array of albums that have touched different corners of the genre. Each album it seems that there is a bunch of people who have a problem with it. And there is a bunch of people who like it.
In Flames : Soundtrack To Your Escape is no different that lots of people will like it, and lots of people will dislike it.
This album brings a little different sound from Reroute To Remain as it not being as experimental and a bit more eerie.
F(r)iend is the intro and is a song that gets better and better the more you listen to it.
The Quiet Place is one of the best songs on the album with a brilliant riff and vocals. A personal favourite.
Dead Alone is another good song.
Touch of Red is another good song. There is no reason to skip anything so far. All good.
Like You Better Dead is a really good song with all of these little details that just add up. A personal favourite.
The same could be said for My Sweet Shadow. A personal favourite.
Evil In A Closet is a metal ballad that is absolutely divine. A brilliant song. A personal favourite also.
In Search For I has such power in the song. A personal favourite.
Borders And Shading is just another good riffed song.
Superhero Of The Computer Rage has such a good riff that it'll be a song to come back to. A personal favourite.
Dial 595-Escape is a pretty good. Somewhat simplistic riffing but still good.
However Bottled is not the greatest of metal songs and is not really a song that you'll come back to. But that's saying it's a bad song.
But anyway, overall Soundtrack To Your Escape is a brilliant album and has a lot of great songs that you'll come back to. It may take a little bit of time to get into. But it's all worth it. A great success for the band. In Flames are such gods in melodic death metal!

Children of Bodom : Follow The Reaper is a fantastic album and could easily be argued as not only Children of Bodom's best, but the best of the year. Every song in this album has it's own presence and it's own sound. This means that each song is brilliant and original in it's own right. There is not one song that is uninteresting to listen to. And with the many complex solos by Alexhi (the frontmen of Children of Bodom), you cannot put this down anything but talent. The keyboards solos are superb in my opinion yet others will not like them as much as they don't have the same brutality. Musically though, the solos are a huge achievement. The musical style has changed from the neo-classical style of hatebreeder. This, is in no way a bad thing.
Follow The Reaper is the beginning track to the album. It starts with a little speech and immediately breaks into one of the most interesting tracks of the album. Brilliant stuff.
Bodom After Midnight is probably one of the coolest songs you will ever listen to. A personal favourite.
Children of Decadence has a superb riff. Reviewers may say that the keyboards are too 'happy' for melodic death metal but nonetheless it is pulled off brilliantly. A personal favourite.
Everytime I Die is the first ballad from Children of Bodom. It has come off as a success.
Mask of Sanity is such an interesting song and one that a lot of people will come back to.
Taste My Scythe is another brilliant song. They pilled up upon each other and just add to what an album this is.
Hate Me! which is the single of the album. There is definitely a reason for this as this song delivers relentlessly.
Nothern Comfort.......I'll only be repeating myself as what I have said before how all songs are great.
Kissing The Shadows is the ending track of the album (without the bonus track Hellion) and ends it excellently. It's amazing that this was composed on the day of recording.
Hellion (bonus track) is still another brilliant song. You can't imagine how they have managed to constantly produced incredible stuff.
Overall the album is an extremely success and it's going to be really hard for Children of Bodom to produce an album that will meet up to this. So along comes Hate Crew Deathroll.....

Dragonforce : Inhuman Rampage will start many things. Question's about if the drummer is on steriods? If the fingers of the guitarists are made of pure steel? If the keyboard player's hand are huge and how many hours of computer games to they play?

Inhuman Rampage is simply dazzling for start to finish. From to beautiful beginning of Through the Fire and Flames to the lucid ending of Trail of Broken Hearts.
Through the Fire and Flames is such a complete and absolutely superb song, that I can't see many people being disappointed. A personal favourite.
Revolution Deathsquad continues the fast and energetic pace of the album and delievers well.
Storming the Burning Fields is still keeps the torch being held up high!
Operation Ground and Pound explodes with incredible talent and composing ability and produces a song quite simply amazing! A personal favourite.
Body Breakdown is such a loveable song and could be concluded as one of the best on the album. Another personal favourite.
Cry for Eternity is another fantastic song but is a little too long but none the less, catchy and brilliant.
The Flame of the Youth is an incredible song once again and continues this album's line of musical brilliance.
Trail of Broken Hearts which is strong enough to fill your eyes with tears. This song is pratically flawless. A personal favourite.

Inhuman Rampage is filled to the brim with absolute incredible music and talent. It is a haven. Nearly every single thing about the band is exceptional. With every single track being absolutely fantastic, it is so difficult not to be impressed. I feel that Dragonforce have one of the biggest potentials for becoming one of the greatest metal bands up there with some of the best. While the musicians could be compared to some of the very best. If I was going to put any fault into the music, it would be that the music is somewhat repetitive but with music so good as this, it really isn't such a big deal.

I think that Dragonforce have proved themselves to be so immense that they can stretch the boundaries of metal. So much beautiful music, so much talent, so much potential, Dragonforce is heading towards music heaven!

Robbie Williams : Rudebox is an album that I feel is based too much on just a couple of songs. The album is not appreaciated as a whole and how it is all together. That is not necessarily the fault of the person, but the fault of what has happened to music with one hit wonders being able to get miles without actually producing particually riviting music. Robbie Williams has gone through different moods and this album is the most different of all. This album seems to be going with the time and going with what most people are listening too. Problem is, is that what people were listening to for Robbie Williams has now gone to the other type of music which they were trying to escape from. Basically, he's saying if you can't beat them, join them. Thing is, is that Robbie Williams was beating them in my opinion. Nevertheless, this album is still a success and actually quite fresh.
Rudebox is a great beginning to the album and should be a good song, but it's not as popular as it should be.
Viva () Mars is completely different to not that entertaining.
Lovelight is another hit. This is a good song actually but too heavy taken from George Michael.
Bongo Bongo is quite a good song. Quite catchy and refreshing.
She's Madonna with The Pet Shop Boys is much more entertaining and proves itself to be quite good.
Keep On is the best song so far in the album is actually 'vein popping, heart stopping'. A personal favourite.
Good Doctor is such an original song and such a great one that I think this is one that should be remembered. A personal favourite.
The Actor is once again another original song and so different from the previous songs. A personal favourite.
Then there are some random songs like Never Touch That Switch, Louise and Burslem Normals and songs that don't really need to be there because they are nothing special. He could have got rid of them considering the album has 16 tracks.
We're The Pet Shop Boys is actually quite a cool little tune but nothing major on the album.
Then Kiss Me which has such a refreshing sound and it boosts the mood back into the album.
The 80's is the best song on the album. It tells such a great story and is riviting throughout and even the next couple of times you listen to it. Brilliant. A personal favourite.
The 90's is not as good as The 80's but it is still really good and he is basically 'picking up the story from where he left off'. Another personal favourite
Summertime is a song that is too basic for it's own good. But it is not necessarily bad just a bit boring. But in this track is also another track called D***head. It's totally random but still quite cool but I can see why he didn't put it as an actually song on the album because it is quite silly.
Overall the album is quite complete but I think that he should have put some songs in there that did sound like the Robbie Williams that we liked he for in the first place. But definitly not disappointing and it is actually a good album.
