Repackaged and Repurchased

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - I like this CD. I'm just not totally sure I got my money's worth out of it, since there is little new on it. But I guess I knew that going in. It is after all basically more of the same, remixes and live versions of Manson's popular songs.

Manson continues to deliver with this live "best of" CD

Thu, 19 Oct 2000 12:30:40 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - I'm a Marilyn Manson fan. I also have a job, wife, kids and a pretty happy normal life. I'm not "misunderstood" or depressed. I'm also not likely to go crazy one day and blame it all on the music...

That being said, let me tell you a...

eBay: a global market for treasure and junk alike

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 11:10:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - Ebay is one of the few sites on the net making a real profit. They were also the first auction only site on the net. Originally started as a way to sell antiques, the idea caught on quickly that this forum could be used to sell anything...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - Let me start by saying I just love this comic book, although I'm not sure why it's listed in the computer games section of epinions.

The best thing about this comic book is that it all seems so familiar. Whenever I read (and re-read) it, I...

Pass the breadsticks baby

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - The Olive Garden is a great restaurant. If you are on a date or with your whole family, you'll find they have something for everyone. The service is almost always exceptional, every time I go (and I've been a lot) they always take great care of you.

Gran Turismo 2 for PlayStation 1: This game is so cool, even my dad loves it.

Tue, 1 Feb 2000 17:54:08 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - My dad is a racing sim nut! Most of the games I rent for him he plays for a few hours and walks off in disgust. He actually played this game so much we rented it for three weeks in a row before he finally broke down and bought a copy of it, along with a...

Not fit for human consumption...

Thu, 16 Dec 1999 16:02:30 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - As of this writing, this CD is the most recent (and hopefully last) release from my formerly favorite group: Danzig. Why, oh why, do I keep doing this to myself? It's like an automobile accident, it's nasty and you know you shouldn't look, but for some...

Danzig: Danzig I

Thu, 16 Dec 1999 15:59:01 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - This is Danzig's first album. Not Glenn Danzig's first though, he's been around longer than most people realize. In fact, ever since his days as frontman for the Misfits, he's been doing things his way.

This is a dark album, but it sure is a...

Danzig: These guys are making a comeback

Sat, 27 Nov 1999 00:13:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - Anyone who knows me will tell you I love this band. That's not an easy statement to make considering the only member left since I started listening is the lead singer Glenn Danzig. That's fine with me though, since he's the reason I started listening in...

Finally an album I can enjoy again

Fri, 26 Nov 1999 23:49:02 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - Yes folks that's right... Danzig finally released a quality album. Now, you know I love this band, but the last two albums were baaaad.

I really like this album. Three songs in particular really stand out.

They are: Five Finger...

Rage Against The Machine: Oh I dont know... they aren't THAT bad!

Fri, 12 Nov 1999 12:12:37 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - I like these guys. Yeah, they are full of hate and propaganda, but the simple fact is the songs ARE catchy, the music is good and these guys are talented.

I personally don't really care about the message, I just like to listen to them when...

Mostly Harmless... Just don't forget your towel.

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 22:56:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - This is one of the few books that I have read cover to cover more than once. It may be the ONLY book I have read cover to cover more than 3 times. It's definitely the only "book on tape" I have ever played until it broke.

Simply put,...

oh come on... it's not THAT good...

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 22:41:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's the fact that I have tried to read this book on at least 3 separate occasions, and I have yet to finish it.

Oh it starts out ok, but I seem to only be able to get about half way through this book before...

This is NOT a kid movie!!

Tue, 26 Oct 1999 20:42:48 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - As a parent who saw this wonderful movie as a child, let me stress that this is not a kids movie. Yes, it's animated, but it's no cartoon. I'm not saying your kids won't enjoy it, but it may well scare the hell out of them.

From an artistic...

Be our guest, be our guest, this one is Disney's best

Tue, 26 Oct 1999 16:37:09 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't think this is Disney's best work ever. Needless to say I have to include myself in this category. Oh yes, and my wife, and my kids, etc...

This movie is a true work of art. The animation is incredible, in...

101 reasons to watch this movie

Tue, 26 Oct 1999 16:26:36 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - Ok, so there aren't really 101 reasons to watch this movie. How about 3 really good reasons? First, this movie is just lots of fun. Second, kids love animals and this movie has plenty. Third, as they say in the movie... "excellent villain,...

The Black Album: It's really good, but not their best

Wed, 20 Oct 1999 19:21:41 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - Let me start off by saying that I really dig Metallica. This is one of their better albums, but it's not their best work. I've been listening to them for about 12 years now, so I feel pretty qualified to make that statement.

This is really the...

J/Other: Danzig: Danzig 5 BlackAcidEvil (their 6th release)

Thu, 14 Oct 1999 19:56:26 GMT

J/Other: Danzig: 4P (their 5th release)

Thu, 14 Oct 1999 19:37:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - Hello, my name is Chris Williams and I am a Danzig fan... Maybe I need professional help. Why else would I continue to torture myself by buying these CDs?

Maybe it's because their last release (Thrall - DemonSweatLive EP) gave me some small...

J/Other: Danzig: Thrall - DemonSweatLive EP

Thu, 14 Oct 1999 19:20:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - What once was lost, has now been found. This CD marks a return to the sound that made this band popular to begin with. It's a real shame that it is only an EP.

Having purchased the first 3 efforts from Danzig, and being burned on the third...

J/Other: Danzig: Danzig III - How the Gods Kill

Mon, 11 Oct 1999 11:27:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - This album proved to be a weak followup to the first two. While still a decent album and able to stand on its own merits, it paled in comparison to the first two.

There were a few good songs on this one. Most notably, "Bodies",...

J/Other: Danzig: Danzig II - Lucifuge

Mon, 11 Oct 1999 11:02:41 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - Danzig's second album, Lucifuge, is pretty true to form, although a little bluesier in some places. Not that this is a bad thing. Personally I think it is as good as the first, possibly even better, but it's really too close to call.

The songs...

Now this is a Metallica CD

Mon, 11 Oct 1999 10:30:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - They say you never forget your first love. I guess mine was Metallica. I was on my way to high school, and a friend of mine popped in this tape. It was a life changing experience. My high school years were pretty much a blur after hearing this tape.

Mon, 11 Oct 1999 10:11:31 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author chriswilliams - I REALLY like Metallica. They were the first Heavy Metal band I ever really got into. They changed they way I listened to music. So what happened....?

This CD is probably the worst thing Metallica has put out. I say probably because I refused...
