 The one thing this album never lacks is a sense of melody.

 It’s hard to find a guitarist who masters so many musical styles and manages to express them, even all together, with such elegance.

Marty Friedman's album True Obsessions showcases his remarkable ability to blend various rock styles with melodic guitar work. Unlike his previous new-age influenced solo albums, this 1996 release features a mix of hard rock, alternative, and easy-rock riffs enriched with oriental and ethnological elements. The album highlights Friedman's unique songwriting that prioritizes melody over excessive virtuosity. Almost entirely instrumental, it is a brilliant showcase of his skill and artistry. Listen to Marty Friedman's True Obsessions and experience a masterful blend of rock styles and melodic guitar brilliance.

 M-16 is based on the abstractions of the Vietnam War, resulting in a mixture of thrash sounds and death vocals!

 With “m-16,” you always travel full throttle and never stop banging your head!

Sodom’s M-16 is a powerful thrash metal album inspired by the Vietnam War, combining death vocals and aggressive riffs. It delivers relentless energy with fast rhythms and impactful songs like "Among The Weirdcong" and "I Am The War." While not a masterpiece like Agent Orange, it marks a strong return to form. The lyrics convey an anti-war message through sarcasm and roughness. The humorous "Surfin Bird" cover adds a surprising twist to the intense album. Dive into Sodom’s M-16 for an intense thrash metal experience full of energy and war-inspired themes!

 Break the Cycle managed to uproot all the rot that oppressed me and made me feel bad from my soul.

 Staind are one step above the likes of Puddle of shit, Nickelback, and so on.

Staind’s Break the Cycle shows slight growth from their previous work but remains largely mediocre and predictable. The album includes four notable singles that stand out amidst otherwise monotonous tracks. Aaron Lewis’s vocal delivery is praised for its emotional depth. The album fits into post-grunge/nu-metal genres but lacks originality. Overall, it reflects music industry trends of early 2000s youth angst fused with commercial motives. Discover the highs and lows of Staind’s Break the Cycle – listen now and decide for yourself!

 "Not all evils are to cause harm" fits perfectly for this album.

 "Musically the result achieved is quite interesting... blending glam-rock-metal with electronic textures and samples."
