What Are You Listening To?

[Tiggi]

A rare toe in Metallic waters for me.

Gimp masks, numbers, & overalls ?! Is this a case of style over substance, or just some very sharp marketing ?? Whichever, they certainly got noticed.

I've always loved Eyeless from this album, and every so often music like this is just what is needed.

Doesn't actually say much to me about my life or experiences, but I guess I'm not really the target audience.

Mrs Tiggi wasn't impressed, but I reckon anything that gets total nihilists dancing can't be a bad thing...

While I will always have respect for Ozzy, and I do own a few of the solo efforts, I would just prefer to stick with Sabbath. I did lose some respect after the reality show. A few good tracks here along with a few bad, then there's that stupid last track. His tenth solo effort. Let Me Hear You Scream is the fist single. Three of the songs have been released as downloadable to the Rock Band video game ans some other gimmicky promotional stuff which turns me off, but whatever.

Is it just me or is Religious lyrics in a death metal band a little ironic? This is something that needs serious mulling over, but for the time being I do really like this band

Ozzy played last night at our local 1500 capacity venue.

Didn't go, as I saw him live when promoting his first solo album, and felt he was past his prime then...

One for you metal geeks. Certainly nothing here I would want my ears subjected to again. Aside from the songs, the mix (or something) on here is absolutely terrible. I'm not a recording guru, so I'm not even sure how to explain what I mean by that. To simplify, it just doesn't sound right. The ninth album and the first by the group in six years.

Motley Crue frontman with his third solo effort and first in 15 years. Two members of Slaughter make up the band. Only two originals here with the covers including Cheap Trick, Sweet, Aerosmith, Sex Pistols, Hollies, Scorpions, CCR, Elvis Presley and Elton John. I'm not much on covers, but the two that I wasn't familiar with I thought were ok, and also the two originals. Hang it up Vince. The title track is the first single.

Lead vocalist from Poison with his third solo album. Oh, and we can't forget his own reality tv show, as much as I try. Plus the latest Celebrity Apprentice winner. Buildng up an extensive resume. I like when his country side comes through here on a few tracks. Every Rose Has It's Thorn was a great song, but did we really need another version, even if it is a country version? Duet with Miley Cyrus turned out pretty good on Nothing To Lose, which is the first single, but why two versions on the same album. One is minus Miley, but not that different. Two follow up singles already of Lie To Me and Wasted Time. Really not that many new tracks here as a lot are covers, remakes or were recorded long ago.

Worst Track - Go That Far

Best Track - Open Road

Jesse was raised in the Hollywood Hills
Living the perfect life
Jesse was told what to think- what to wear
What she could and could not buy

Her parents to busy to listen
Never give her the time of day
All Jesse wanted was someone to listen
To what she had to say

She said 'They gotta let me be
Gotta let me live my life'
She packed her bags and slammed the door
For the very last time

What Jesse wants is an open road
Her favourite song playing on the radio
Cranked up loud singing out of key
Tell the whole world who she's gonna be
Foot on the pedal just a letting it go
Letting it rock letting it roll
An Open road to chase her dreams
What Jesse really wants
Is to be young wild and free

Now Jimmy lives on the other side of town
Struggling to stay on his feet
Pulling away at some deadend job
Just trying to make ends meet
His Mother passed 10 years ago
His Father ain't never around
And just because he's a poor boy
Everybody thinks they can keep him down

Bossman there to remind him
A whole new 9 to 5
Jimmy looked down at his calloused hands
Then he realised

What Jimmy wants is an open road
His favourite song playing on the radio
Cranked up loud singing out of key
Against the wind screaming this is me
Foot on the pedal just a letting it go
Letting it rock letting it roll
An Open road to chase his dreams
What Jimmy really wants
Is to be young wild and free

oh yeah yeah

Two lost souls are travelling
Down that road of life
A little bit of faith
About to cross their paths tonight

A lonely exit east L.A.
Just to stop to watch the sun go down
There was jimmy on the hood of his car
Thinking about turning around

And somewhere in that moment
Before the sun surrended to the night
Like some famous final scene
Jesse caught Jimmys eye

Out there on that open road
They found a life to call their own
Living young and wild and free
Just the way it was meant to be

Jesse and Jimmy on an open road
Favourite song playing on the radio
Cranked up loud singing out of key
Young and wild and finally free
Foot on the pedal - letting it go
Letting it rock letting it roll
On that Open road they found their dream
Cos What Jesse really wants
What Jimmy really wants
What we all really want
Is to be young wild and free

oh yeah yeah

Young wild and free

One of the few bands of this genre that has managed to hold my interest throughout their career. I hav most of their material and this is the ninth, which did make the grade, although barely. Not sure what the Korn III thing is all aout, nor do I care. I'm sure this will grow on me, as the others had to. The anger that comes across in Davis's vocals always blew me away. The guy is scary. Hell, the whole band's scary. First album with new permanent drummer Ray Luzier. Signed to new label Roadrunner and back to producer Ross Robinson who did the first two albums, I'm sure this will top the metal charts.

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Uber-Time

Best Track - Oildale (Leave Me Alone)

look at you
feeling all good
you can resist
have to be all
hoping Head's
gonna feel great
talking shit
I let it go

Why dont you just leave me alone
my heart feels free from the past
holding onto feelings, feeling all that hate breathes
why don't you just leave me alone?

Rotten by us
think you're sooo drunk
I'll take this shit
all i had was
loving me
it was so good
but no ones in at night
you ripped that away

Why dont you just leave me alone?
my hearts gonna break from the fall
holding onto feelings, feeling all that hate breathes
why don't you just leave me alone?

All the disrespect (all that this has meant?)
all the ignorant
all the voice that you took from me
YOU TRIED TO BE THE SHIT!
NOTHING BUT A HERETIC!
TALKING ABOUT HOW "OF ME"!!!!

HOW CAN YOU TALK WITHOUT ME?!!

NOW!!!!!

Why dont you just leave me alone
my heart feels free from the past
holding onto feelings, feeling all that hate breathes
why don't you just leave me alone?

LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
LEAVE ME THE **** ALONE!!!!!!

Consisting of members of Mudvayne, Danzig, Damageplan and Panterra this socalled super group is out with their second album. Signed to the big leagues with Epic, the first one debuted at #8 in the U.S. so I'm sure this one will show some action. Go my head bangin' on a few tracks, so it wasn't that bad. Of course too much bangin' just knocks you senseless. Not enough good ones to make the list. First single is Hell Of A Time.

I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Order The Sun

Best Track - Stand Or Walk Away

I was told that life is beautiful,
Well I'm not looking through those eyes,
Wished upon a star and watched it fall away,
Well that's just one more thing,
That could never be forever,
Everything I touch turns to the opposite of gold,
It could be shit,
It could be coal,
That's just the way it goes,
Do I lead them astray,
Do I push them all away,
I feel so cold,
From the exit of my soul

Don't know whether I should kill or cry,
Don't know if I should live or die,
Should I stand or walk away
Don't know whether I should be myself or change
Hold my ground or rearrange
Should I stand or walk away

I've been told that we live and learn,
As I look through tear-soaked eyes,
I'm full of scars but I'm not made of stone,
And my heart's exposed,
My transparent life of terror
A sacred promise that's sealed by a ring of gold,
It can't be bought,
It can't be sold,
But you have to keep a hold,
Did I throw it away,
Because of my ways,
It feels so cold,
Now that I have lost my soul

Don't know whether I should kill or cry,
Don't know if I should live or die,
Should I stand or walk away
Don't know whet her I should be myself or change
Hold my ground or rearrange
Should I stand or walk away

My stomach aches as I feel the sting
That runs through me
Lay my head into my hands,
Falling to the ground,
I look up to the sky,
Please help me find my way back home

Don't know whether I should kill or cry,
Live or die,
Should I stand or walk away
Don't know whether I should be myself or change
Rearrange
Should I stand or walk away
