A Scathing Look Into Society

Sun, 7 Dec 2008 14:11:01 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - Bad Religion has been writing music since 1981, and 25 years later with only minor personnel changes, they're still pumping out music in the form of full length EPs that are stunningly true to their roots. New Maps of Hell is the 14th album...

An Atypical Punk Album

Thu, 4 Dec 2008 12:00:38 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - I'm not going to try to fool anybody with this review by claiming I am the world's #1 A.F.I. fan or throwing around comparisons to their earlier or later works. In fact, I'm going to admit that I really had no interest in A.F.I. based on their newer,...

Insight into Identity and Jealousy

Wed, 3 Dec 2008 14:12:44 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - Nella Larsen's novella, Passing, is a gripping tale about two biracial women in the 1920's. Larsen delves into issues of identity, trust, lust, and jealousy with a style that paints a vivid mental portrait of her characters. Passing is a...

Cheap, but effective!

Wed, 3 Dec 2008 13:35:10 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - The Nokia 6085 is not a competitor to the iPhone or the G1. Not by a long shot. In fact, most people probably will get this phone because it's the cheapest available with a new plan at their local AT&T store. It's safe to say that glamour and style...

A thrifty fuel sipper with mature styling!

Wed, 3 Dec 2008 13:10:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - In the past few years, the whole world has seen prices of gasoline skyrocket. Conversely, the demand for giant truck-like SUVs has plummeted and the demand for tiny economy cars has risen greatly. In America, the subcompact market has gone from a small...

Who would have thought that Black Mages like rock?

Tue, 2 Dec 2008 21:55:48 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - Words cannot describe how ecstatic I was to hear that Uematsu was going to release an arrange album of various Final Fantasy battle themes redone in heavy metal. "Official" metal or rock arrange albums have an incredible track record. Konami's "Battle...

Big sound, Small price.

Sat, 8 Feb 2003 20:35:00 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - I was in Best Buy a few days ago, with a single intent in mind. Buy a new pair of speakers. I went with $200 and the determination to make it ALL the way to the back of the store in order to reach the PC speaker section. Of course, after passing...

Become Humbled Again

Wed, 6 Nov 2002 21:20:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - My, my, my, how Tool has grown. It's amazing to see how much has changed in the 5 years it took them to finally get this CD out. It's also a fairly amazing feat to see a band last for 10 years, as with Tool, who celebrated thier 10th anniversary a few...

Quite possibly Nirvana's last release...

Wed, 6 Nov 2002 00:34:45 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - Finally. That's all I can say. I remember back in 95' or so, right after Cobain's death (which was '94, I know), the band had plans to release a bunch of unreleased material. It was supposedly too hard ofr the remaining band members, and nothing new was...

Make a wish...

Mon, 14 Oct 2002 14:16:42 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - Man, talk about originality. Nightwish is the only band I've ever heard that combines heavy metal with opera vocals, and they do it durn good. this is probably the most talented band I've ever heard, ability-wise. Oh well, I dont have much background on...

An Enema of The Soul.

Mon, 14 Oct 2002 12:00:06 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - Wow. That's all I have to say about this album, and that's all there pretty much is to say, but I'm not making money--err, getting positive feedback by writing that much, so I'm obligated by my mission to take over the Epinions music section, to write...

Herzeleid isn't exactly good for your Herzeleid...

Sun, 13 Oct 2002 22:22:39 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - It's easy to see why this album wasn't released in America until Sehnsucht hit it big, and why it was blamed for Columbine, and why it had to go through a cover change and- well, to sum it up, this album is lyrically brutal. I don't speak (much) german,...

Opiate for the musical mind..

Wed, 18 Sep 2002 22:14:06 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - Tool truly has matured. When comparing this to Lateralus, the difference is crazy. Nonetheless, Opiate is still great, although VERY short. Tool is very striaght to the point, but some of the songs just don't flow right. Read on for enlightment..

A great album for NIN fans.

Wed, 18 Sep 2002 21:37:45 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - Darkest Days was realeased in 1998 following a near platinum selling debut album. The expectations were high, and it seems that the Gold seeling Darkest Days just wasnt selling good enough for Columbia, the record company. They dropped Stabbing Westward,...

One mutter of an album.

Wed, 18 Sep 2002 19:48:46 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - Many bands evolve over the years. Thier music may become more mature, more skillful, etc. Rammstein's new album, Mutter (Mother), is more of a revolution than a simple evolution. Sure, it still has the "harsh" german vocals, and the trademark...

An undertow that is good to get sucked into...

Wed, 18 Sep 2002 19:47:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author iamonfire - Tool is quite the enigmatic band, especially with Lateralus and Aenima, thier 2 newer albums. A good 2/3 of the songs makes the listener wonder "What the heck am I listening to?". Not that they were bad, they just don't have an obvious point. Undertow on...
