Anyone Heard Of This Special Album? here is the site; www.roadrunnerrecords.com basically, 52 artists have come together, icluding, Matt Heafy, Joey Jordison, Howard Jones, Corey Taylor, and more. The four main writers; Matt Heafy (trivium), Joey Jordison (slipknot), Dino Cazares (fear factory), and Robert Flynn (machine head) have written 18 songs. Each with different singers, guitarists, and drummers. This sounds like a great album, but has anybody got it? Is it good?
I picked it up today. Joey Jordison is a monster, I'll tell ya.. Annihilation By The Hands Of God is my favorite track. So far.
I've got it, I'd defenatly say its one of the best albums of 2005 if not one of the best I've heard. The End is awesome. And by the way this album was announced about 5 months ago so I think quite a few people have heard of it
I've changed my mind. I Don't Wanna Be (A Superhero) is my favorite track on this album. It's just pure punk with some pop goodness thrown in. It's awesome. So fuckin' catchy too.
This album is awesome and I was surprised at some of the diversity vocal wise... I mean I was shocked when I heard In The Fire... And yes, that's because I've never listened to him before this. I wish Heafy would have done some screaming on The End, but I'm not complaining. And I agree, I Don't Wanna Be (A Superhero) is catchy. Takes me back. I didn't really care for Annihilation By The Hands Of God's vocals. They're good n' raw, but I don't care when a vocal sounds like you're trying to force a burp out, you know? But that's just my opinion, of course. Overall, I liked this CD. I hope it doesn't become a trend, but I hope that there are more of these collaborations because me likey.
This album is actually what I expected. It's an ok CD IMO. Some of the songs (specially The End, Blood and Flames, and Army of the Sun) really kick ass while some of the songs actually fronted by people that their bands I can't really stand. It's ok though, I give everyone credit though for getting together and making a CD like this.
Everytime I listen to Annihilation By The Hands Of God I want to shoot the singer because he CANNOT sing. I give this album 9/10
