CD Reviews

Death Magnetic Review by Mike Korn Has the hour of redemption arrived for Metallica? Or is it too late for them to reclaim their crown as the reigning kings of heavy metal? More...



Hard Wired...To Self Destruct Review by Mike Korn Plagued by over a decade of rather tepid heavy metal, Metallica made a strong push to reclaim some of their glory on their last album “Death Magnetic” and did a reasonable job of it. More...



Master of Puppets Review by Greg Olma The year was 1986. Although thrash metal was already a few years old, Metallica really brought it into the mainstream with Master of Puppets. More...



Ride the Lightning Review by Gary Hill I know Metallica gets a lot of flack for a lot of things. I'll be the first to admit that their later output is largely inconsistent. More...

Various Artists - Alternate Endings: Compilation of The End Records Artists Review by Mike Korn If record labels have personalities like people, then The End records can be compared to the eccentric cousin who swears a lot and acts tough but has a secret soft side and an intellectual bent.

Various Artists - Come On Feel The Noize: The Story Of How Rock Became Metal DVD Review by Gary Hill I want to start this review by framing it with the following statement: I really enjoyed watching this. I found it very entertaining and captivating. I recommend it pretty highly to fans of rock and metal. More...



Ozzy Osbourne - Down To Earth Review by Gary Hill Quite a few critics have said that the strength of this album is the fact that it doesn't waver from Ozzy's tried and true style, and that fact establishes a musical reliability in a sea of changing music. Well, this reviewer for one thinks that they must not have really listened to this album. More...



Voi Vod - Katorz Review by Mike Korn Elsewhere in this edition of MSJ, we took a look at Rebel Meets Rebel, a project of the late Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott. Now we turn to the last output of another innovative guitarist who tragically passed away at a young age, Dennis "Piggy" D'amour of Voi Vod. More...



Dream Theater - Master Of Puppets Review by Greg Olma From the beginning, Dream Theater always gave the fans something special. When they go out on tour, if they have a 2 night stay at any venue, the second night becomes “cover” night. More...



Beatallica - Masterful Mystery Tour Review by Gary Hill The latest CD from Beatallica, this is perhaps not as consistent as the previous one. More...

Magma - To Life, Death and Beyond: The Music of Magma DVD Review by Gary Hill Given that the music of Magma is set in their own language, it seems appropriate that most people will need captions on for this film. More...



Various Artists - Underrated Rock Book Too!: 200 More Overlooked Albums Written by Jim Santora, Jr. Review by Gary Hill I remember when the first book in this series came out, it really captivated me. I actually suggested to the author that he should do another edition. More...

Ian Gillan with Tony Iommi and Friends - Who Cares Review by Larry Toering This is the first time Ian Gillan and Tony Iommi have done any recording on the same project since 2006 when Iommi guested on Gillan's Inn, a career retrospective dual disc of re-recorded classics of Gillan's. More...



Ian Gillan with Tony Iommi and Friends - Who Cares Review by G. W. Hill An expanded set based on the concept and charity involved with the original single, this double disc set has some great stuff. More...
