Review:
The long-awaited album from the ‘supergroup’ of Clint and Corey Lowery, Brett Hestla, Troy McLawhorn, and Will Hunt. My anticipation for this disc was high, and all of the expectations were met, especially in light of my enjoyment of all of the members previous bands. Naturally, some of the songs have a Sevendust vibe to them, due to Clint, and Brett will always sound like Virgos to me, but this album has enough unique elements to stand on its own. Much like the first Audioslave disc, its a sum of the individual parts, but something a bit more as well. It rocks hard in spots, and the slower passages are still high quality. A solid effort that was truly 12 years in the making.

Review:
While it will endlessly be compared to their output with Pantera, Dime and Vinny’s next project Damageplan wasn’t ever going to measure up. Having said that, this isn’t a bad record at all, I think Dime was trying to get the nu-metal stuff out of his system a bit. We’ll never know where they were going with it, but there’s enough on here to rock out to.

Review:
Some of the last Soundgarden demos done turned out to be some of the songs that ended up on CC’s first solo disc. A radical departure from SG (unless you count the acoustic Like Suicide), this had some really strong tunes on it, and capable backing playing by the members of Eleven.

Because I smoke so much weed. Ha! I bought it because it had Insane In The Brain on it, but the rest of the songs are pretty cool as well. This was a favorite to bump in the car in high school.

Review:
This soundtrack did well following in the footsteps of the first Crow soundtrack. There were a number of b-sides on here that I wanted, including those by White Zombie, Filter, Seven Mary Three, the Toadies, Korn, and the Deftones. The rest of the songs are okay, but most of them usually get skipped.

Review:
Dad had a Jim Croce album on vinyl (Life and Times) that he converted to tape and played in the car. It grew on me, and thus I was compelled to pick up the Best Of. Turns out I like a lot more Jim Croce songs than I thought!

Review:
Unfortunately, this album was the end of the metamorphosis that Scott Stapp underwent. The music is fine, the lyrics leave a lot to be desired. Save for Bullets and Weathered, I can’t even get all the way through this album anymore.
