[The Theory]

6--If I had heard Haste the Day when I was 16, I think I would have been all over it. However, I was not 16 when Burning Bridges released. I remembering sampling the album at the bookstore and thinking, "These guys listened to a whole lot of Zao before hitting the studio." Which may or may not be a bad thing--but for a 20-year-old who was getting out of the metal scene as his genre of choice, it failed to excite. As a song, "American Love" is decent. I wouldn't switch the radio if this came on. But it wouldn't inspire me to check out more Haste the Day albums.

I was going to post the track that got me into metal (Extol's "Reflections of a Broken Soul"), but unfortunately it isn't on youtube. So I'll post a track from that album that IS on the tubes:

5.5/10

I liked the first minute or so. I just don't like that constant drumming and scream/growled vocals that seem to define metal.

"They're Hangin' Me Tonight" -Thin White Rope (covering Marty Robbins)

[Girder of Loins]

I loved the update to the guitar line, and everything flowed nice. The one thing I did not like is the voice. Far too much vibrato and he did not articulate well. Marty Robbins at least kept his articulation through the vibrato(mostly). I like the cover, its just not as good as the original. It doesn't really stand on its own(which I think a good cover should do). I always thought it should be covered with a ukelele.

Gungor - Crags and Clay (3/13) - YouTube

They should have just let the redhead sing and not that growling guy too.

Since Metal seems to be so popular on this board for some reason, here's a Metalfied version of a hymn we sang in church this Sunday...

"Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence" -Leah

[MomOf2nApril]

7.5/10 - She's got a great voice, and I like the music alright. But as far as replay ability...well, it's one I could see myself wearing out on pretty quickly.

Well, as it turns out, I can't directly link because I don't have enough posts. So copy and paste, and remove the spaces.
