A Rap does not make nu metal, it's just a part of the whole movement.

you are wrong.

Well, considering I listened to it with zero expectations (I've never listened to a lot of Soilwork and I knew it was not going to sound like Blind Guardian or Savage Circus) I thought parts of it were pretty cool. I like Speed's clean vocals a lot. Some of it reminded me of Pantera. Guitar playing was cool. Don't really have much more to say until I listen to it more.

Kamelot- The Black Halo
Chris Caffery's WARPED

hated the Caffery at first but it grew on me in a weird way, now it's one of my favs.

 

[The Stormbringer]

Best show of the year 2006 so far was Riverside in Verviers, Belgium, hands down. Sieges Even in Essen, Germany, was wonderful as well, but marred by their short setlist... Deadsoul Tribe really isn't a band cut out for playing 2 hours live.

Really looking forward to Blind Guardian's new album (which I just KNOW will be great) as well as their tour.

Almost positive these are '05 releases.

My new favorite: Chrome Division "Doomsday Rock 'N Roll". holy shit.

 

[Horus]

Well Kamelot is calling their US tour "The Black Halo over North America" and it's gonna be fucking awesome, so

 

[Beelzebub]

Best shows I've seen this year:

Sabbat, Napalm Death/Kreator, Skinless/Immolation/Suffocation/Exodus.

 

[Beelzebub]

I really wasn't expecting to like this and paid no attention to it... but randomly saw the video for "Promiscuous" recently and was hooked... it's mainstream dance pop... but it's just done so well. There's definately a depth and integrity to this that is absent from a lot of the similar stuff out there.

So I heard this song for the first time just now (give me a break, I was out of the country for two months) and I love it. It's awesome. I really hate that song I'm Like a Bird, and I've never really cared for Timbaland either, but this is great.

 

[DoomsdayZach]

........ you just lost huge points beelz.

 

[War_Blade]

yep
