[Image: Ministry-TheLandOfRapeAndHoney.jpg]

Been years since I've spun this. Thought I liked it, but I guess not. Does that mean my taste has changed? I do still love that first track. This si their third album and maybe it was that next one I really liked. I'll find out when I get to it. I guess it's those damn distorted vocals again. Maybe I was ready for something new when this came out. And now they've carried this extreme metal to such a limit that it has poisoned me to the earlier stuff too.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Golden Dawn

Best Track - Stigmata
You ran out of lies!
You ran out of lies! Lies!
Stronger than reason, stronger than life
The only truth I know is the look in your eyes
The look in your eyes!
Just like a car crash, just like a knife
My favorite weapon is the look in your eyes
You ran out of lies!

You ran out of life!
You ran out of lies!
Get out of my life!

And I'm chewing on glass and tasting my fingers
I'm not the one who's run out of lies, lies!
You ran out of life!
You ran out of time!

Judging my faith and walking on splinters
I lost my soul to the look in your eyes
Your eyes! You ran out of lies!
Ran out of time...
Stigmata! You ran out of lies!

Oh, you have empty eyes! (yes)
Oh, you have empty lies! (yes)
They told me nothing
Nothing but lies!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
****! ****! ****! ****!
**** me! **** me!
**** you! **** you!
**** everyone! **** the church!
**** Jesus! **** Mary!
**** the Jews! **** the Bhuddists!
**** the Hindus! **** George Bush!
**** his ugly wife! **** Tipper Gore!
**** everyone! **** Gorbachev!
**** Noriega! **** all these assholes!
**** you! **** me! **** all of you!
Stigmata! Stigmata! Stigmata! Stigmata!
They told me nothing but lies!
Lies! Lies! Lies! Lies!

Georgia band formed in 1996, with their 8th album. Comprised of frontman Lajon Witherspoon, John Connolly (guitar), Clint Lowery (guitar), Vince Hornsby (bass), and Morgan Rose (drums). Lowery left the band in 2003 but has returned for this one. On their own label, they picked up producer Johnny K for this effort, who has worked with Disturbed, Staind and 3 Doors Down. Sounds like Mudvayne to me. Not my bag but it may be yours.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Strong Arm Broken

Best Track - Unraveling

I need an answer
Some way to understand
This feels so convincing
And a little outta hand
So tell me one thing
Who gave you all those scars
That took away your innocence
You push away with everything you are
I can't take this anymore
I'm tired of breaking
I'm tired of breaking
I want the world to see
You sold a broken dream
You were not there for me
I was Unraveling
All that we never knew
That could have been me and you
But you took everything
Now we're just here Unraveling
So here we are now
Break what's already broken
I guess I coulda seen this coming
If you'd been around
Let's tear the past wide open
I can't take this anymore
I'm tired of breaking
I'm tired of breaking
I want the world to see
You sold a broken dream
You were not there for me
I was Unraveling
All that we never knew
That could have been me and you
But you took everything
Now we're just here Unraveling
What have we become
The hopeless tonight and I think it's over
We hope to find the truth still breathing
Can we survive the low
I want the world to see
You sold a broken dream
You were not there for me
I was Unraveling
I want the world to see
You sold a broken dream
You were not there for me
I was Unraveling
All that we never knew
That could have been me and you
But you took everything
Now we're just here Unraveling

Brit arena rockers hit their stride with this 6th album, at least in my book. One of their better efforts, with 2 standout tracks out of the meager 8 selections. The only dud is the only cover, a Love (the group) song. Formed in 1969 with Phil Mogg (vocals), Mike Bolton (guitar), Pete Way (bass) and Andy Parker (drums) as Hocus Pocus. Bolton left in 1972, replaced by Michael Schenker (Scorpions). In 1976 keyboardist Paul Raymond was added, in time for this album. Schenkers alcohol abuse led to his departure after the next album. This one reached #23 on the U.S. charts.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Alone Again

Best Track - Love To Love

Oh it's been too many times and I can't go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to I don't want it at all
Lost you and I want you today

Misty green and blue
Want to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Want to love to love you

To be something, to be near you
Don't say that you'll never know
Want to love to love you

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon's only rise and fall
Lost you and I want you today

Misty green and blue
Want to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Want to love to love you

To be something, to be near you
I don't know where I'm goin' to
I've tried and I need you to stay

Welsh band formed in 2003 with their third album, the first coming in 2005, followed by a tour with Rob Zombie. Already catching myself calling them My Bloody Valentine. Go Figure. The band consists of Matt Tuck (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Michael Paget (lead guitar), Jason James (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Michael Thomas (drums). They pick up Linkin Pard producer Don Gilmore for this one. Singles of Your Betrayal and The Last Flight are already out. Three good tracks for me, which is not bad for a metal album, but still falls short of the buy mark.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Begging For Mercy

Best Track - Bittersweet Memories

You turn me off by the push of a button,
Then you pretend that I don't mean nothing.
I'm not a saint, that's easy to tell,
But guess what, honey, you ain't angel.

You like to scream these words as a weapon,
Well go ahead, take your best shot, woman.
I wanna leave you, it's easy to see,
But guess what, honey, it's not that easy.

We get so complicated. (Complicated! )
These fingers full of memories.
So rip my pictures from your wall.
Tear them down, burn them all.

Light the fire, walk away.
There's nothing left to say so
Take the ashes from the floor,
Bury them to just make sure

That nothing more is left of me.
Just bittersweet memories.
Memories... ahh...
I wanna run & escape from your prison,

But when I leave I feel like something is missing.
I'm not afraid, that's easy to tell.
This can't be heaven,
It feels like I'm in hell.

You're like a drug that I can't stop taking.
I want more & I can't stop craving.
I still want you, it's easy to see,
But guess what, honey, you're not that good for me.

We get so complicated. (Complicated! )
These fingers full of memories.
So rip my pictures from your wall.
Tear them down, burn them all.

Light the fire, walk away.
There's nothing left to say so
Take the ashes from the floor,
Bury them to just make sure

That nothing more is left of me,
Just bittersweet memories.
Just bittersweet memories.

We get so complicated.
These fingers full of memories.
We get so complicated. (complicated, complicated...)

So rip my pictures from your wall.
Tear them down, burn them all.

Light the fire, walk away.
There's nothing left to say so
Take the ashes from the floor,
Bury them to just make sure

That nothing more is left of me,
Just bittersweet memories.
Woah oh oh oh (x3)
There's nothing left to say
Woah oh oh oh (x3)

Texas band formed in 1996 out with their fourth album. Ryan McCombs returns as lead vocalist, after 3 different people in that position on the first 3 albums. While the first album experienced unanticipated success, follow ups have been let downs. The bands music, along with many others, is noted for being used by the U.S. military to inflict torture on captured prisoners. lmao. It wasn't that bad. Really like the lead off track, with a few others being good. Then again there were more bad than good tracks. Feel Like I Do is the first single.

Florida metal band formed in 1997 with drummer Robb Rivera, vocalist Elias Soriano, guitarist Andrew Goldman and bassist Kenneth "KB" Mcmillan. Goldman left the band in 2008, replaced by Zach Broderick. They have been a regular at the Ozzfest festival and will be touring with Mudvayne this summer. They have toured with Sevendust, Linkin Park and Staind. This is their sixth studio album, and is prodiced by Mudvaynes Chad Gray and Greg Tribbett. Gray is also featured on the first single, which is the title track, that I didn't care for at all. The album was not too good for me as with most of the genre, but Throwing Stones was pretty good. Just cause I don't like it, don't mean you metalheads won't. This is an album that has one of those stupid hidden tracks at the end. I would have included it, but since it's hidden, I'm not supposed to know it's there.

Pennsylvania band formed in 2006 with their second album (first on Tooth and Nail). Billed as christian rock consisting of Sarah Anthony (lead vocals), her husband Mark Anthony (backing vocals, guitar), Mat Slagle (drums), and Matt Beal (bass). Matched up with producer Toby Wright of Korn, Alice In Chains fame. I didn't get the christian message, but I guess it was buried in there somewhere. Not sure how these bands pick up these labels. Maybe they went to church once. Aha, they're christians. The title track is the first single.
