Advantages: awesome guitar work,bass and production
Disadvantages: Vocal Ability is average

My absolute favourite album at the moment, this really is an album for the musicians among you quite complex with alot of odd timings but never sounding out of place, If i had to describe this album to someone i would explain it as the heaviest baddest version of iron maiden you will ever hear with dual riffing harmonies apparent all over this masterpiece. The production of this album is also really good for a death/progreesive album, probably the ...
...drummer was used for this album also the lyrical theme has changed from gore to more interesting subjects. I really don't have a favourite song on the album it is all killer no filler but the opening riff of seven is certainly the most unique and memorable riff i've ever heard. ... Read review

Advantages: Provides extreme inspiration for muscians
Disadvantages: You'll wish you could play as well

Muhammed Suicmez, guitar and vocals for Necrophagist, plays seemingly without effort. His guitar work is flawless. not to mention his brutally low death grunts. This talent is almost matched by fellow guitarist and band mate, Sami Raatikainen. However i was quite suprised when i heard the bassist. Throughout the metal industry bassist are denied of glory. On this occasion, all thanks must be given. Stephan Fimmers is a true inspiration for all budding ... Read review

Advantages: you won't believe your ears
Disadvantages: none

This is by far, not only the best album to come from Nile, but the the best Death Metal album ever. Karl Sanders and long time band mate Dallas have topped themselves yet again, can they do no wrong? The addition of George Kollias on drums just perfects the sound as he is one of the best in the business. I recently read an interview from Karl stating that George recorded a lot of it on his first go, which you would think is impossible! But it just ...
...beats and fills are magnificent!. The guitar work, exceptionally technical with brilliant chord structures and melody's of insane proportions rivalled only to that of Mozart on acid! It is a pure joy to simply sit and listen and break down the individual instruments and enjoy them both on their own and as a whole. And of course, as usual with Nile, you not only get the best in death metal, but you get their signature egyptian theme which works a ... Read review

Advantages: A new style for the new generation
Disadvantages: none

...who blew my mind. Slipknot arrived on the scene with their self titled first release full of some of the most intense/funky/melodic nu metal tunes i had heard. Along with their image of masks and boiler suits i was amazed. what an album it turned out to be. this was the first time i had come across this mixture of blistering guitar rifs, electronic samples and such powerful screaming/rapping vocals. I was hooked instantly. from the opening sample ...
...mission to invade my mind with this new style and they succeeded. From (sic) straight into my favourite song Eyeless - again with this cool use of electronic sampling and beats then onto the commercially successful Wait and Bleed, Surfacing and more. this album is brutal from start to finish and set me on a new musical direction. The 9 members in the band come together to create such a powerful force with varied use of percussion and electronic ... Read review
