After listening to this album a few times today, I can defenitely say that Maiden have captured their true sound once again. The album is even more true than their last(Brave New World). The have continued where they left off in their hayday. It has all the classic elements plus some updated ones that blend together perfectly. Bruce's voice is still top notch and the rest of the band follow right along. One listen and you will defenitely know its Maiden but at the same time it is 2003 Maiden and they do not let you down, from the opening track of Wildest dreams(shades of the Number of the Beast sound) to the greatly done epic Paschendale, the album truly shines.
Pick up the album, a true fan and the new ones will truly enjoy it... Up The Irons...

I swear this woman has lungs of steel because I have never heard a woman with more power in her lungs not to mention this band can freakin rock. This is a little old school in a good way. I saw them in concert and hadn't heard of them but by the end of the show I had bought a cd and was lucky enough to get it autographed by the whole band. I am looking forward to more of this amazing band.

EXMORTUS IS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR!!!  THEY'RE YOUNG(NOT EVEN 21 YET) AND GIVE A NEW MEANING TO HEAVY METAL. THEIR SOUND IS LIKE IRON MAIDEN,METALLICA,AND DIO ALL ROLLED IN TO ONE. THE VOCALS ARE A BIT DEEP, BUT YOU CAN STILL UNDERSTAND THE LYRICS. THE LEAD SINGER SOUNDS A BIT LIKE MAX IN HIS EARLY SEPALTURA DAYS. EXMORTUS HAS IT ALL, LONG GUITAR SOLO'S,HEAVY RIFFS. AND THEIR SONG WRITTING IS VERRRY MATURE FOR SUCH A YOUNG BAND. THEY REMIND ME OF EARLY METALLICA (MATURITY WISE).

 ANYWAY THIS IS AN AWESOME BAND, NO BULL!!!!!! THIS IS A COMPLETE BAND, NO FLAWS. ALL THE SONGS KICK BUTT!!!! TRUE METAL HEADS WILL LOVE THIS BAND. FOR FANS OF METALLICA, MAIDEN, DIO, DEATH, SOULFLY, SEPALTURA

THE BAND IS FROM LOS ANGELES INCASE YOU WERE WONDERING.

This video is the quest of Iron maiden from their earliest days as one of the more heavier rock bands and to tell you the truth it Rocks. From Women in Uniform right up to Holy Smoke this video represents a life long achievement from Iron Maiden After finishing off their No Prayer for the Dying Album they released this video which shows maiden at their bombastic best. a must for all fans of Maiden.

I saw this group live on my cross country trip somewhere in Minn. This powerhouse holds very well with members such as the bass player for dagobah and lynx, the sax player and guitar player from sweep the leg johnny and the drummer from big'n. all of these men along side of a more obscure musician who was in a punk band called emily and then went on to do some solo stuff under the guise of the intelligibles play very  nice anthem-esque rock with elvis costello like vocals coupled with very (probably to) smart (for their audience) lyrics. VERy good times music. strained and approachable. They bring the house down live. but i will say look out there is one song with a clapping breakdown that the bass player stole from his old band.

Indigenous's new self-titled cd is one of my absolute favorites. Mato is a great guitar player, and the songs on this cd show that the band is evolving, writing better tunes and playing with a confidence that only comes from experience. Most of the songs are hard rocking blues, with a couple of slower numbers thrown in for good measure. The sound on this record is very raw and live, like they just played the songs and released them without any mixing. Highlights are "C'mon Suzie", "You Turn My World Around", "I'm Still Here", "Movin' On", and a smoking cover of Jimmy Reed's "Shame, Shame, Shame".

This is a cool, mixed, confident, heavy rockin, album with different styles and sounds pounding out. It has more of a mature, refined sound beyond the heavier rock tunes, there are mellower tunes, some reggae, hip hop sounds also. The lyrics are powerfully inspiring, honest, and spiritual and the riffs catchy and big. Good come back and good evolved sound.

Made a few old school metalheads listen to this jam on a road trip recently and couldn't have loved it more.  While certainly no Master of Puppets or Number of the Beast the riffs and rhythm are clearly akin to many elements of the thrash/glam/NWOBHM.  Like other bands of NWOTHM Skull can incorporate whatever elements they want into their music and still be considered legit metal, something that would have been impossible 30 years ago.  Maiden doesn't do Metallica and doesn't do Motley - and vice versa.  This band does.

Some of the glammier tunes like "Bad for Good" are the ones that like glam, get you immediately hooked, then tire after a few dozen listens and the album takes a more power metal theme with "Hour to Live" and "Sign of the Warrior".  Still most tunes have an galloping double bass beat throughout most - if not entirety - of the track so those looking for the amphetamine surge of thrash to power them through a commute or leg day won't be disappointed.

If you've never had a girl break your heart - get a chick - get her to break up with you - then play "You're Gonna Pay" while doing donuts in your 'Zam in the parking lot of your old high school.  WARNING - If she's watching the male bravado could be too much and she may want you back and the songs context will be rendered meaningless.

Their first entry besides their EP, "Head of the Pack", is a good listen as well.  But I prefer their sophomore effort more and glad to see this band has a lot of room to grow.

Finally ... PLEASE PLAY IN CHICAGO!

To use a cliche:'This show rocks'. johnny, jerry, sylvain,and billy are alive and kicking and playing to a very receptive audience. This is musicaly the tightest Thunders show i've ever  heard. Throughout the show Thunders is coherent and witty as opposed to stupid and stoned. There are a lot of nice suprises too. Sylvains '14th Street Beat' and 'Size 10 Shoes',Thunders rare original 'Have Faith', covers of The Stones 'Wild Horses'(!)Play With Fire','West Coast Promo Man'/'Spider and the Fly' are all interesting. Now the bad news. The bass is too loud ! the acoustic segment sounds ambiant. Eno would love it. Otherwise I recommend this disc.

LOVE Michael Franti and Spearhead! One of their best albums to date! Can't wait to see them live again in August. If you have a chance to see one of their shows, DO IT.

For those of you like me who have been an Iron Maiden fan since the beginning, you will take a couple of listens to get used to this CD.  Once you get past that, however you can't get enough.  This CD has not left my  disk player since I got it on the 9th of June.  Maiden have mixed their  classic style with that of the past 5 years very well.  This is most  evident on Brave New World, The Mercenary, and Dream of Mirrors.  These to  me are the stand out tracks although the rest of the CD is very good as  well.  I was actually very surprised at how well Adrian Smith and Jannick  Gers played guitar together (especially live, I just saw them in London on  Friday and the band still does a great show, don't miss it).  If this isn't  enough to convince you to get this disk, check out Martin Popoff's review  on Hardradio.com.  He gives a complete song by song review.

If you're not into noise-rock this is the first album in their catalog you should try. Helmet is one of my all time favorite bands - it's too bad their sound went out of style with the greater public. In a few words the attractions of their sound: HUGE cruch guitars in TIGHT stop/start rhythm. Like the Who soloing is not a big part of their sound. The guitars are in synch turning off and on this distorted wall of sound - so you regularly hear the naked Bass/Drums and theres plenty of space in the music along with the distortion. Page Hamilton sings understatedly on some songs, screams on others, and alternates on still others. His lyrics are witty and snide on all their albums. This is their first album that has polished production bringing their raw edge that much more into focus. The songs are uniformly strong but Unsung is easily the most radio friendly.  I would recommend starting with this album or "Betty".  They stretch more on "Betty" and it covers more stylistic range which some fans like and some don't - but Betty has one of the heaviest bone crushing tracks in all of rock: "I Know" and the also briliant "Speachless". I've been waiting for years for the "forthcoming" Hamilton solo album. He's one of rocks visionary artists.

Going to the "Love out Loud" concert was an amazing religious experience and the best concert I have ever attended.  Spearhead  played this song  and  it was transformation.  This and their album Soul Rocker are the next best thing to being at the concert.

This album is awsome from the first song to the last.  Perfect mix of hard hitting songs to ones to lay back and just enjoy the talent the Lord has given this band.
