Mad at Gravity- Resonance

I was waiting on pins and needles for this album. I thought it was be amazing because I was so blown away by their acoustic tracks on MP3.com months ago. Was I ever wrong. Those 3 songs lost something and every other song on the album sounds exactly like them. Its not even good in a typical numetal way.
Highlights: Walk Away. Yes, the Reign of Fire single.
Lowlights: Time and Time Again
Verdict: Dig up those acousitic songs and leave the album on the shelf.

Machine Head- Hellalive

The new live album by Machine Head is a great mix of all their albums. And if you're not sure where a song came from, Robb tells you each track and the album during the show. That's the only thing I'm not too fond of. But as far as live albums go, the sound quality is great and it puts you right there.
Highlights: Bulldozer, Davidian
Lowlights: The Blood, the Sweat, the Tears (it's a little slow)
Verdict: If you love this band, you need to own this cd.

Machine Head- Supercharger

I had heard that MH was going to rerecord the vocals, but apparently that's not the case because a lot of them still sound pretty shitty. That's gotta be my only real complaint about the album. Robb's voice cracks like a 13 yr old boy.
Highlights: Bulldozer
Lowlights: American High
Verdict: Buy it if you already love Machine Head. If not, start with another album

Medication- Prince Valium

I'm not really sure what to say about this album. It took a few listens to grow on me. Some of it is kinda Tinfed-ish, I guess just in the fact that it's a lot less heavy than I expected.
Highlights: Nothing Left
Lowlights: Underground
Verdict: Yeah, buy it if it's cheap.

Rhett Miller- The Instigator

This guy almost sounds like the guy from Eve 6. Love songs. A singer songwriter that looks like a guy I went to high school with. I didn't think I'd be very impressed, but I liked it more and more as the disc went on. If you like this style, you'll enjoy it.
Highlights: Things That Disappear
Lowlights: Come Around
Verdict: Yeah, get it. It'll grow on you after a few listens

Murderdolls- Beyond the Valley of the Murderdolls

This album sounds very....retro. Guitar driven early 90s metal, some almost punk/hardcore songs. Not what you'd expect looking at the guys on the cover. I guess it's Misfits-ish, but the recording sounds so thin. I thought Slipknot guys were all about production.
Highlights: People Hate Me
Lowlights: Love at First Fright (a bad punk song), Die My Bride (do they mean Die Die Die My Darling?)
Verdict: I'm definitely not a fan of this album. You might be though.
