Editorial Reviews from Amazon:
The self-titled, third studio release from Evanescence, produced by Grammy winning Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains, Rush), contains the hard-driving anthems and introspective ballads the hard rock group has mastered since their breakout debut in 2003. The 12 tracks demonstrate the growth of the band’s writing style and lyrical content.
Front woman Amy Lee says, “It’s about freedom,” when describing the album’s first single, the hard-charging,”What You Want.” Other songs include “Lost in Paradise,” which Lee calls, “The most intimate song on the album” and “My Heart is Broken,” a track driven by Lee’s signature lyrics and piano playing.
Backed by the heavy guitar sound of Terry Balsamo and pounding drums of Will Hunt, the new album is powerful and aggressive. “We’ve been working on this music for a very long time and seeing it all finally come together is a really amazing feeling.” Lee continues, “This album is about us and also our fans. We re combining the best of Evanescence with some new attitude and we re just dying to share it.”

Review:
Much like a spider, Cold continually crawls out of the proverbial hole every few years and puts out a batch of songs that hit an emotional chord. Six years between albums (Killer and the Star aside) is too long for these guys.

Editorial Reviews from Amazon:
‘Blunt Force Trauma,’ the pulverizing new album from Cavalera Conspiracy, is the musical evocation (and possibly even the literal equivalent!) of the sensations following a car crash. Abrupt, hyper-charged and possessed of some of the fiercest riffage and percussive bombardment of the Brazilian born Cavalera brothers’ storied career, it’s a sophomore-slump defying declaration that the Cavalera Conspiracy was no mere one-off, fluke or temporary side-project.

Editorial Reviews Amazon.com:
By the time she made her bow on MTV Unplugged, Mariah Carey was already a multi-platinum-selling artist who owned the charts, but didn’t command much respect because no one had ever seen her perform live. As it turned out, Miss Thing could deliver as sure as Domino’s, emoting significantly over soulful arrangements of several hits and a cover of the Jackson Five’s “I’ll Be There.” That track became a No. 1 hit and earned a solo recording deal for featured backup singer Trey Lorenz. This may not be Carey’s best record, but it’s certainly her most surprising.

Stoeln from Amazon Editorial Reviews:
All Night Long — the fifth album from Buckcherry — is the vital sound of rock and roll endurance at its very best. It s not just rock, it s rock and roll. More than a decade after first establishing its good name with the popular eponymous 1999 debut effort, Buckcherry has created the band s most eclectic and impressive effort yet. All Night Long is a thoroughly rocking song cycle in the grand tradition of classic albums by the group s forefathers and now friends Aerosmith, AC/DC and Kiss.
‘We set out to make a great rock record from beginning to end,’ says lead vocalist Josh Todd. ‘That s always been our quest. When I listen back to All Night Long, I think that this is definitely one of our strongest efforts to date and has a really definitive overall vibe. Now I can t wait to sing these songs live for people and let everyone hear the results for themselves.’
All Night Long finds the band returning to its roots with original independent label Eleven Seven Music, thus giving Buckcherry the freedom over the creative process that the band has always desired. As Buckcherry cofounder and guitarist Keith Nelson explains, Buckcherry is by design a real rock band that s built to last. ‘I think we endure and evolve because we genuinely do this for the love of the music,’ says Nelson. ‘All the by-products of loving the music — being rock stars, having nice cars and lots of toys — are pretty cool too, but that s not the motivating factor for us. The motivating factor for Buckcherry is that we all truly love being in a rock and roll band — specifically, in this rock and roll band — and that s the passion that drives everything else that we do.’

Review:
Stolen from Amazon’s Editorial Reviews:
‘Times Of Grace’ finds Killswitch Engage guitarist Adam Dutkiewicz and former KsE vocalist Jesse Leach taking a creative left turn, boldly exploring new musical terrain, while fearlessly digging deep into the recesses of their musical synergy and coming up with a provocative, heavy-yet-melodic result – one that helped each of them overcome personal struggles and emerge from the darkness, more empowered than ever.
‘In all my life, I have yet to write a record that bares my soul as much as this record does,’ Leach said. ‘Adam and I had a real spiritual connection while making this and I know that it comes through in the performances and lyrics. This record has our blood, sweat and tears flowing through it. It is painfully honest at times. In short this record is our catharsis.’

Review:
2010 album from vocalist Max Cavalera and Co. Cavalera fuels Omen with the same blood, fire and spirit that made him a genre icon with Sepultura, Cavalera Conspiracy. Omen is a sign of Soulfly becoming an even fiercer, fierier and more furious metallic monster, seven albums into their storied career. Soulfly traditions remain upheld over the course of the album’s 11 tracks.
