    R.E.M. - Document

    8.5/10

    The songs that were good were great. The songs that weren't so great weren't terrible. Album should have ended after The One I Love.


    The One I Love
    It's the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)

    Disturbance At The Heron House
    Finest Worksong

    Exhuming McCarthy

    Just listened to Vol 3: The Subliminal Versus.
    Hmmmm... I'm pretty perplexed about this album, which I would say that it's better than me just flat out thinking it's boring. The album has some FANTASTIC songs (the best song is one of my favorite songs of ALL time), some pretty neat ones, and some catastrophic duds. I like that they tried to add variety into the album, but almost all of their slower tracks failed miserably and Virus of Life is pure horribleness. Either way, it has some great stuff and makes me a pretty happy camper, so I dig it.


    Before I Forget
    Duality
    Pulse of the Maggots
    Opium of the People

    The Nameless

    And why shouldn't it surprise me that there's rapping in it?

    I've already said why it shouldn't surprise you, but to paraphrase...

    Korn > stereotypical nu-metal band > Follow The Leader, stereotypical nu-metal album > nu-metal: metal with elements of hip-hop and/or rap > guest artists on FtL: Fred Durst and Ice-T

    Considering all these things going in, you should have expected to hear a bit of rapping I'd think. Unless you had no idea Korn was a nu-metal band, then that's a different story...

    Maybe not, but based on everything I've read from you on here, you live off singles (unless it's Paramore) and singles, generally, are watered-down songs meant for radio play. Just looking at the Korn ratings and now the Slipknot ratings, all the singles are at the top in both cases.

    The gospel, right here. "Virus of Life" is one of the best, and most creative, songs Slipknot's ever done.

    Big Big Train - English Electric (Part One)
    9/10

    Excellent neo-progressive album from Big Big Train, occupying a space somewhere between the symphonic sound of Gabriel-era Genesis (songs like "Uncle Jack" and "Upton Heath" in particular), the guitar-driven neo-prog of Pendragon ("The First Rebreather"), and the layered counterpoint of Hogarth-era Marillion ("Hedgerow", an incredibly strong final track). Not sure I'd go far enough to call it a contender for Album of the Year in my book, but it is nonetheless an exceptional release that will likely be firmly planted in my musical rotation for years to come.

    Marillion - Sounds That Can't Be Made
    8.75/10

    Other than a couple of weak tracks toward the end, easily the band's best album since Marbles.
