Usually we would
go into a little depth about each release that we review
here, but in fitting with the new sleek approach, all
reviews will cover, just the basic and fundamental need
to know points about the following records
At The Drive In_ Relationship
of Command ::::
everyone's raving about this band at the moment, and if you
can get past the weird dancing and 'bigger than Shafts' hair,
then you'll hear an amazingly energetic sound, very raw and
filled with it's own attitude.

Lost Prophets_Fake Sound of Progress ::::
another apple of the media's eye, but with good reason, live
they're both incredibly tight and entertaining (you know this
by now as they're touring their asses off supporting anyone
who'll let them). Musically there's a subtle hardcore edge that's
combined with catchy riffs and vocal's reminiscent of an old
Faith No More.

Corrosion Of Conformity_Americas Volume Dealer ::::
Talk about complete and utter f**king disappointment! What happened
here? surely they're not the same band that released eye for
an eye, they definitely ain't the same band that released Blind
and they seem a million miles off Deliverance and Wiseblood!
There's like 2 songs on here that are okay, but the rest? coc
rock.

Electric Wizard_Dopethrone ::::
Your a stonner fan, you'll like this. The genre is pretty tight
and with a sound like this, Electric Wizard fit right in and
push a few of their contemporaries to one side so they can be
a t the front of the que. Heavy Metal
Charger ::::
I don't have anything infront of me to review right now, but
I caught them with Raging Speedhorn this week and all I can
say is that this band are amazing, very heavy. See them if you
can. As it is likely there are to be many bands emerging in
the next year or so who have an Iron Monkey sound, these are
likely to be one of the best.
Linkin Park_Hybrid Theory ::::
Another nu-metal band with some nice guitar sounds and ropey
rap-styled vocals. Compared to bands like Deftones by the magazines,
anyone expecting an interesting blend of styles will be sorely
disappointed. Not very exciting ... too close to the more than
lame Limp Bizkit.

Che_Sounds of Liberation
This is album is great, this is the album COC should have made.
Brant Bjork is a genius in my book, he had a hand in all the
best Kyuss stuff, made a shrewd move to Fu Manchu and now he's
the mastermind behind this little ensemble. Groovy and mellow
with a few instrumentals thrown in just for good measure :)
