review: rock mah box
Both new releases this week:
Sevendust - Southside Double-Wide
I had no idea Sevendust was even releasing a new CD! I am still not done listening to it all the way through yet, but this fucking rocks. Still has their trademark badass guitar riffs, but going unplugged (tm) gives the music a whole new fresh sound. Oh yeah and it comes with Sevendust postcards and a crappy guitar pick in a pretty box. Also a DVD which I can't watch because I do not own a DVD player.
:spork:spork:spork:spork:spork/5
Slipknot - Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses
Reading the reviews on Amazon.com, this seems to be a love/hate thing. I actually quite like it, and just downloaded the first bonus mp3 track from the site that's unlocked when you verify your original CD purchase. That alone is worth the price of the CD. Scream is classic Slipknot that is hinted at on the CD, but never gets to the point of complete anger/insanity that self-titled and Iowa reached.
:spork:spork:spork:spork/5 only because I really think the transitions between songs are very abrupt and totally ruins the flow of the CD.
