One of the original Seattle grunge bands. Splitting in 1997 over those pesky creative differences, there have recently been rumours of a reunion. This is their second album and they would not score big for a couple more, but this helped lay the groundwork. Not that great for me. First with a major label and last with original bassist Hiro Yamamoto, who would leave the band immediately after the recording was complete. The album reached #108 on the US charts with singles of Loud Love and Hands All Over.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Full On Kevins Mom

Best Track - Hands All Over

Hands all over the eastern border
You know what? I think we're falling
From composure
Hands all over western culture
Ruffling feathers and turning eagles into vultures

Got my arms around baby brother
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother, kill your mother
And I love her

Hands all over the coastal waters
The crew men thank her
Then lay down their oily blanket
Hands all over the inland forest
In a striking motion trees fall down
Like dying soldiers

Hands all over the peasants daughter
She's our bride
She'll never make it out alive
Hands all over words I utter
Change them into what you want to
Like balls of clay
Put your hands away
Your gonna kill your mother
And I love her

Aussie band formed in 1997 while in high school. They have won some Australian awards and this album actually came out down under last summer but is just now being released in the U.S. Not sure about the U.K. Lead singer Ian Kenny is the only remaining original member. Tool would be the closest comparison to me. A little too heavy which drug my rating down. That's what heaviness does. Singles have been released of Set Fire To The Hive and All I Know.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - The Medicine Wears Off

Best Track - Deadman

The change of the tone
Changing my mind
Changing the weather
I feel it at first
A blow from the dark
Take it for better

Still I remind myself
How I define myself

Blackened and bruised
Coming up clean
Bound to get better
Blessed with a curse
Hoping I fall
(The) Deeper the better

I needed, I needed to know
I needed, I needed to know why
Oh no, this can't be happening
Oh no, this can't be happening

Pain is a door
A fever burning for more
A red light in your mind and I feed on
You must have been so surprised to see
There you were staring back at me
Caught in a web
Now out on your own
You've got nothing to stay for
So you keep saying

This year it's coming
Guess what we're running from
Too late for running
The stitches are coming undone
Grab your belongings
The exit is near
Making your way through indecisive needs

I needed, I needed to know
I needed, I needed to know why
Oh no, this can't be happening
Oh no, this can't be happening

This man is meant to die
You're colour blind in this madness
I'll bury a mountain for your love
A crooked man you'll die
Loud Excuses pouring out a child
The same SOS you sighed
But make room for laughter
Your man tried here.

This water's dark and cold
God's not where you hoped
It's a moment come and gone

It's too late baby
Call out mayday
While I'm still alive
It don't matter I don't want this to end
I don't want this to end,
I don't want this to end,
I don't think this will end well

Hey, there goes my love again
No one's coming now
Hey, I'm out on my own again
Fading faces broken frowns
Hey, I guess I fucked up again
No one will find out
Hey, stare at your feet again
Don't say you don't know

This water's dark and cold
God's not where you hoped
His moment had come and gone
It's time we all moved on
It's time we all moved on
It's time we all moved on

Still I remind myself
How I define myself
Still I remind myself
How I define myself
I needed to know
I needed to know
I needed to know

Formed in Missouri in 1995 as Big Blue Monkey, later changed to Story Of The Year, it was a long time till their major label debut in 2003, which yielded some minor sucess with the single of Until The Day I Die. Four albums later this may be the breakthrough as this album has debuted at #42 on the U.S. charts, and the first single of I'm Alive is getting heavy airplay. A couple of good tracks for me but it just barely gets a passing grade. I'm a hard sell.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Won Threw Ate

Best Track - Holding On To You

Another year is gone so fast
Another life becomes the past
Under the weight of dreams
That I never thought would last
Feelings clash
And set a light across the globe
This window seat becomes my home
I lie awake for hours
Staring at the world below

Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
By holding on to you

Another night has slipped away
Wishing the time would let me stay
Stuck in between two lives
That could never be the same
I remain without a chance
To say to you that
Every word I said was true
I lie awake all night
Just staring back at you

Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
Holding on to you

Just one more day
Well make it through
Will you still feel the same way
That I do? That I do

Holding on to you
Noo
You feel the same way I do
Holding on to you
Noo

Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
Holding on to you

Into the ways again I go
Holding on to you
I found a way to make it through
So Im holding on to you

Just one more day
Well make it through
Well make it through

California band formed in 1998 with their 5th album. Founder and frontman Matt Pike is the former guitarist for stoner metal band Sleep. Currently a 3 piece with Jeff Matz and Des Kensel. Other former members have flew the coop. This is produced by Greg Fidleman who has produced for Metallica and Slayer. Did nothing for me as most of these metal bands don't, but I still listen. Single is out of Frost Hammer. Bastard Samurai started out ok, but it didn't last long.

This is an import of a remastered 1976's Vol. 4, with a bonus track of a live version of Children Of The Grave from Masters Of Reality, hence the title I guess. Very good quality. Thing is, it doesn't even say where it's imported from. What if I wanted to honor the country that produced this by paying a visit? Where would I go? I'm confused. Absolutely no liner notes describing the origin of these tracks. Like I said, Vol. 4.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - FX

Best Track - Changes

I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I lost the best friend
That I ever had

She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

We shared the eve's
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way

But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

It took so long
To realize
That I can still hear
Her last goodbyes

Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

American christian metal band from Washington started by brothers Don and Ryan Clark. Don has since left the band to, I don't know, worship Satan or something maybe. This is their 5th album. Not as bad as some of the genre I've heard, but still not in my ballpark. Are you surprised? A few tracks do border on having a melody. Some aren't bad at all till those lead vocals kick in.
Collapsing is the first single.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - The World Is A Thorn

Best Track - Driving Nails

I was the light
I was the quiet heart
I was the place we used to dwell.
And when the cold would tear your life apart,
I was the warmth that you had felt

What have I become?
Thoughts like shadows swelling through my mind.
What have I become?
Something else inside...

Is driving nails into my soul
Angels from my door.
Driving nails into my soul
Something inside....

I was the blood inside your broken heart
I was the stone that you had held

I close my eyes
Search for you
Retracing every step
