Commander PK Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Has anybody else noticed the plethora of new Rock/Metal Albums coming out lately. EVERYBODY has a new album. It's a good time to be a fan of Rock and Metal. The best part, is most, if not all of the albums are turning out to be great. Here are some notables. Whitesnake: Good to be Bad (If your a fan of old school blues rock, pick this up. Great, GREAT Album) Motley Crue: Saints of Los Angeles (EASILY, their best since Dr. Feelgood, maybe even better than that one) Judas Priest: Nostradamus (Metal Opera, that won't appeal to all their fans, but I think it's pretty cool) Disturbed: Indestructable (Their best work yet, and it's self-produced. Maybe that's why. Indestructable and and Inside the Fire have great hooks. No duds on this album) 3 Doors Down: 3 Doors Down (Another great album from these guys) Shinedown: The Sound of Madness (What I've heard on their myspace page sounds great) Dokken: Lightning Strikes Again (Old School guys, great new album) Def Leppard: Songs from the Sparkle Lounge (Haven't bought this one, but my friends say it's pretty good. Not a really big Leppard fan) Rock has/is coming back in a big way. This guy isn't complaining. \m/ \m/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 Disturbed is metal. You don't believe me check out their new album. It's more geared toward old school than anything they have done. Don't tell me you only like Metal bands that have cookie monster vocals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell me you only like Metal bands that have cookie monster vocals? hell no, but i dont like them when they wear more makeup then the woman I am going to see them with either. disturbed isnt metal but they are a hell of a lot closer then def leppard. :2cents: personally i am into thrash and black metal. not satan metal, but dark, chug chugging guitars and a voice like corey taylor or phil anselmo.

Commander PK Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 I really dig Lamb of God and Shadows Fall, outside of that most of the growling vocal stuff grows old quick. Now Iron Maiden's A Matter of Life and Death was great, but that was out about a year and a 1/2 ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander PK Posted June 28, 2008 Author Share Posted June 28, 2008 The make up thing was just what was going on at that time. The glam thing has been over. These groups are just releasing good music now. Whitesnake was NEVER glam or hair metal. They are blues rockers. The Tawney Kitaen video stuff, was just a NICE way of bringing their music to the public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Pantera, and I have heard some Down. My brother is big into their albums. I have the two Superjoint albums, and I like Phil and all, but I think those albums are marginal at best. I can't get into two minute, lightning fast scream fests, when you can't understand a word the guy is saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motley was glam. Whitesnake may have had the hair (who didn't in the 80's?, even Thrashers had long hair) but their was always more substance to their stuff. If you listen to Whitesnake:1987 (As it is pretty much known now) there is some VERY hard rock on that album. Take out "Is this Love," which was obviously the "single" put on their to sell the album to girls, and their is some wicked shredding from John Sykes, and most of the songs are harder edged. See Still of the Night, Bad Boys, Children of the Night, Crying in the Rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
