Review:
This pretty much got me into the new American metal scene. I saw the video for Down Again, loved that tune, and then after downloading the rest of the album (and hearing that Down Again is easily the softest song on the album), I was totally won over and blown away. While Power Trip and Pure Hatred are the most fun songs live, I’m partial to The Dehumanizing Process and Overlooked on this one.

Review:
Another one that Dad bought first, and then once I got away from home I found I wanted it too. All blues covers, and they were all recorded “live”, as in the entire band played the songs at the same time, it wasn’t recorded in parts or sections.

The definitive MTV Unplugged album, and possibly the performance that put the show on the map. Famous for the radically different arrangement of Layla, but everything else on here is killer too.

Review:
I won this tape set back in middle school at a dance. It sat in my collection until Dad found out I had it. Then we listened to it in the car on trips all the time. The two discs have some great live versions of Clapton classics and other blues standards. After Dad “confiscated” my tapes I found this used and picked up the proper CD version.

Review:
The first CD after leaving Roadrunner is certainly a Resurrection for the band. Even after the brutality that was self-titled, this album is even better than that. The songs are all tight, there’s no filler, and since I pre-ordered, I got the limited edition with the autographed alternate cover and the pack-in DVD.

Review:
All the reviews about this album were dead on. 10 tracks of pure, brutal, unadulterated American Metal. Tons of solos, the electronics contribute without beating you over the head, and Mark Hunter screams like a banshee. Just awesome. While not something that you can get into upon first listen, but after spinning it 10 or so times it starts to sink in that this is just a great metal record.

Review:
The first real Chimaira CD (for Roadrunner anyway). Didn’t get this until after TIOR, and that’s probably for the better. This is a good album but nowhere near as good as the follow-up. There’s too many different styles on here, and it’s like they couldn’t figure out if they wanted to be nu-metal or just metal metal. Rizzo features some guitar work by the Deftones’ Stephen Carpenter.

The album where everyone else found out who Chevelle was. Actually sold out at Best Buy the day of release, had to go next door to Target to get it. As with the others, if you’ve heard one, you’ve heard them all.
