 "Death Magnetic would undoubtedly win the Grammy for the most talked-about album ever."

 "Welcome back, Metallica!"

The review praises Metallica's ninth studio album 'Death Magnetic' as a strong and authentic return to their metal roots. The production by Rick Rubin is credited for revitalizing their sound. While some tracks, especially the ballads, show minor weaknesses, the album overall impresses with aggressive riffs, effective solos, and energetic performances. The reviewer feels excitement comparable to their early days. The bass work by Rob Trujillo is noted but not fully convincing, though his role within the band is appreciated. Dive into Metallica’s Death Magnetic and experience their powerful metal revival today!

 Godsmack’s Awake is probably the best release Godsmack has given to the general public.

 Godsmack will always remain a band...derivative and with the serious flaw of not having managed...to renew their sound over time, but they are certainly among the few metal bands born in the new millennium to have chosen the path of consistency.

Godsmack’s second LP, Awake, is a solid and accessible hard rock album with clear influences from Alice in Chains and Led Zeppelin. The band blends traditional hard rock with nu metal elements and modern production. Notable tracks like 'Awake,' 'Spiral,' and the instrumental 'Vampires' showcase their signature sound. While derivative, the band remains consistent and avoids fleeting trends. Discover Godsmack's Awake for a powerful blend of classic and modern hard rock – listen to the album today!

 As slaves as we are to naming music, the genre proposed here is defined as 'death ’n’ roll' (does it even exist? Who knows!),

 The best track in the opinion of this writer is 'Say It In Slugs,' a true summa of everything contained in the album.

Entombed's sixth album, Uprising, marks a return to their death metal roots mixed with punk influences from the late '90s. The album is a direct, intense blend of aggressive riffs and catchy hooks with standout tracks like "Say It In Slugs" and "Seeing Red." Although the production is raw and somewhat repetitive, it enhances the album's authentic, aggressive sound. Overall, a worthy addition to the band's catalog with a solid 3-star rating. Discover Entombed's intense death 'n' roll sound—listen to Uprising and experience their raw metal energy now!

 Nevermore fully belongs to this select group: since their debut in 1995, the Seattle band has maintained consistently high levels, releasing absolute masterpieces.

 The gem is certainly the cover of Simon & Garfunkel’s 'The Sound Of Silence': from soft ballad to devastating and bone-crushing song, all without forcing.

Nevermore's album Dead Heart in a Dead World stands as a modern and innovative thrash metal work. The band builds on a strong legacy with clean production, powerful riffs, and thoughtful lyrics.

This album solidifies Nevermore's place among metal greats. Listen to Nevermore's Dead Heart in a Dead World and experience thrash metal innovation at its finest!

 Patton's voice: still a bit raw and at times not perfect, but absolutely a true superstar, capable of breathtaking ups and downs.

 "We Care A Lot" is decidedly more convincing live than in the studio album, given the presence of a real singer.

Faith No More's Live at the Brixton Academy captures the band's unique mix of metal, funk, and rock during the grunge era. Highlighting excellent instrumental balance and Mike Patton's vocal presence, the album showcases tracks mostly from their breakthrough album The Real Thing.
