Generation Swine - Motley
Crue
The return of Vince Neil doesn't result in the return
of classic Crue, although I wish that it were. Overall it is a good album
with some notable tracks; Afraid, Generation Swine, Anybody Out There?,
Let Us Prey, & A Rat Like Me. The slow ballad like songs are not
even worth having on the album save for Brandon. The Shout At
The Devil '97 is also cool. In my humble opinion the album earns a
3 out 5. As for recommending it to friends, I would say only if you are
a Cruehead.

Pilgrim - Eric Clapton
"Clapton Is God" was written on a wall. Well this is
not true but Clapton is one of the best damn guitarists ever. His Pilgrim
album has disappointed some with its mellow songs. However, there is a
need to look a little deeper and see that this album is very thoughtful
and dark. In My Father's Eyes will soon become one of many Clapton
classics. In short, go buy it!

Soulfly - Soulfly
Wow, this CD kicks ass!!! In two languages
even. One of the coolest tracks on the disc is Bleed, it features
DJ Lethal and Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. The song is about a very
cool topic, vengeance. It is about one of life's true themes, what
comes around really does go around. The entire CD is filled with
cool beats and angry vocals, go get it.

Metallica - Garage Inc.
What can you say...this IS what Metallica
fans have been waiting for. The complete collection of covers with
new ones for the fans that already had all the previous ones. This
one was for the fans. This is definately one to have, it's just not
for the light hearted.
