Megadeth - [1994] Youthanasia




Featured review by: Rattlehead666, on november 21, 2005

Sound: This is Megadeth's sixth release. It was released in 1994 after Countdown To Extinction. The chart osition for this album was at no. 4. This album has a pretty heavy sound. There are four new tracks on the remixied and remastered version of this album. They are Millinium Of The Blind, New World Order, Absolution and A Toute Le Monde (demo). Millinium Of The Blinds intro riff is similar to the track 1000 Time Goodbye. New World Order is a pretty cool song. Absolution is an instrumental that later on when Megadeth released Cryptic Writings part of that intrumental would be in the Trust solo. A Toutle Le Monde demo is basically a demo of track 4 on the album which is A Toute Le monde but the demo is better. Dave Mustaine is a pretty great guitarist seeing all the albums he released over the years. /
Lyrics and Singing: The lyrics are pretty cool to. Dave Mustaine is a good vocalist also but he's a better guitar player. The lyrics to track 12 Victory is cool to because he put all the names of songs he made in the past in the songs for lyrics. One song on this album you can realy relate to his life because it talks about traveling and stuff which is called The Killing Road which is another great song on this album.
Impression: This is one of my favorite Megadeth albums that I own. This is way better than Metallica's sixth release "Load." But three years later the next Megadeth album ain't so good and that is "Cryptic Writings." It's still pretty good but not that good. I noticed that the artwork is very strange on this album and actually my friend has a purple Megadeth shirt with a babay from the album on it and on the back it has one of the verses to Youthanasia on it. A lot of people at school make fun of him for wearing that shirt but he dosen't care cause it's Megadeth. I don't hate anything about this album and if it were lost I would definatley look for it.


Tracklist:
 01 Megadeth - Reckoning Day
02 Megadeth - Train Of Consecuences
03 Megadeth - Addicted To Chaos
04 Megadeth - A Tout Le Monde
05 Megadeth - Elysian Fields

Queen - A Night at the Opera [1975]



Few bands embodied the pure excess of the '70s like Queen. Embracing the exaggerated pomp of prog rock and heavy metal, as well as vaudevillian music hall, the British quartet delved deeply into camp and bombast, creating a huge, mock-operatic sound with layered guitars and overdubbed vocals. Queen's music was a bizarre yet highly accessible fusion of the macho and the fey.

Tracklist:

  1. Death on Two Legs
  2. Lazing on Sunday Aftermoon
  3. I'm in Love With my Car
  4. You're My Best Friend
  5. '39
  6. Sweet Lady
  7. Seaside Rendezvous
  8. The Prophet's Song
  9. Love of My Life
  10. Good Company
  11. Bohemian Rhapsody
  12. God Save the Queen
If Ground and Sky were still a prog-only site, I'd say this album doesn't really belong here, as it's mostly a pop/rock album with the exception of the proggy vocal showcase "Prophet's Song". But it's a damn good pop album, which ranges all over the map of popular musical styles from old fashioned to heavy metal. The vocals are stunning and the mood is mostly infectiously upbeat (with the exceptions of the viciously bitter opening track and the over-the-top prog epic mentioned above). Each misstep, like the goofy lyrics of "I'm in Love With My Car" ("Cars don't talk back, they're just four-wheeled friends now!") and the sappy "Love of my Life" is offset by absolute classics like "'39" and "Bohemian Rhapsody". A great album, prog or not.

Black sabbtah - Paranoid (1970 )



The album "Black Sabbath" got attention for the band, but "Paranoid" was truly the disc that put them over the top. According to the film Black Sabbath: Paranoid: Classic Albums, the original title of the disc was to be "War Pigs," but the label refused to use that title while the United States was embroiled in the Vietnam War.
Paranoid continued Black Sabbath's musical progression. The band focused on the heavier, more metallic sound, similar to the ending of the song Black Sabbath, and the song N.I.B. Tracks such as War Pigs, Iron Man, Fairies Wear Boots, and Electric Funeral show off the band's more metal-esque sound. Gloomy riffs are still found on the album, Electric Funeral's main riff being an excellent example of this. Black Sabbath also has a few new tricks up their sleeves in the form of Planet Caravan and Rat Salad. The former is an attempt at a psychedelic song, and though I'm no expert on this kind of music, the band does an excellent job with the song. Planet Caravan is quite relaxing, and a change from the destructive riffs found in previous Sabbath songs. The highlight of the song is quite easily the jazzy, two minute long guitar solo from Iommi, one of the most enjoyable solos on the album. The other song, Rat Salad, mainly consists of a drum solo from Bill Ward, with Tony Iommi pitching in some riffs for the first half and the remaining 25 seconds of the song. Think Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin, and that's what you'll find here, only a minute and a half shorter. Though these two songs are well done, Paranoid's most memorable moments are definitely when they are thrashing up the set with their brand of heavy rock.

Tracklist
  1. War Pigs
  2. Paranoid
  3. Planet Caravan
  4. Iron Man
  5. Electric Funeral
  6. Hand of Doom
  7. Rat Salad
  8. Fairies Wear Boots

METALLICA - Kill 'Em All (1983)






Metallica's debut album Kill 'Em All is thrash metal at its finest; machine-gun palm muting, technical riffs, and blistering guitar solos.
1983 oversaw the evolution of the metal genre. While Death Metal began to rear its head Metallica would release their first album, Kill ‘Em All, which would receive very little mainstream recognition. However, nine studio albums and twenty-five years later, Kill ‘Em All remains one of Metallica’s strongest albums.

Thrash Metal

This album would serve as a template for many thrash metal bands that would emerge in the wake of Metallica’s success. Unfettered by convention, fan expectations, or tyrannical producers, Kill ‘Em All is the fuse that ignited the popularization of the thrash metal genre.
Legacy of Kill 'Em AllThis album is the catalyst that began Metallica's success at the most popular heavy metal band for the next 25 years with no end in sight. This album is their most simplistic, but that gives it a certain appeal to listeners. This album is a good example of thrash metal in its most basic form.
