This is for UltMetal. This isnt a complaint, But when I was scrolling through your list of bands, I noticed that You didn't have any Tony MacAlpine (Well, nothing but M.A.R.S.). Whats up with that? Tony MacAlpine is a shred god! His albums Maximum Security and Edge of Insanity are Metal Masterpieces.

I look through Ult's website a lot, and I have found about a billion grammatical errors. It's not a big deal, but come one! Hahaha.

Ult's review of Possessed's "Seven Churches" could be a little better, focuses too much on the lyrics, while they are ridiculous, it's a GREAT album.

Ah damn! I tried so hard to write everything perfect, and I couldn't even get 'on' right. I'm such a failure. fainting Oh well, I was being sarcastic anyways.

I love NLTM. Found it years ago. Came back to it recently. Amazed at how its grown. Cant say I disagree with anything but I love the Hall Of Shame. Funny stuff. My my how some people are so touchy. They're only opinions folks.

I also like how diverse this guys collection is.




Gee I wonder where he got those Beyond Fear pics from. Laughing

I might have to revisit that album. You are right, the comments don't add up to much.




As for the grammar errors, well, when you guys see errors in grammar or typos let me know. It's hard to proof read that site by myself.

thanks.

They are your opinions and should remain so. Don't change a thing!

My only complaint?? You've cost me $1000's of dollars!!! (Actually, you've probably saved as much because I reference your site as a starting point. If you say it's crap my search usually ends there...)

And on some reveiws where you're neither here nor there on a band at least your reasonable and calm assessment lets me know what the band is like and arms me with the knowledge I need...

To be completely honest, I agree with everything I have read so far on NoLifeTilMetal. One error I did find was that you said Neil Peart did the "rap" vocals on Roll the Bones. That was actually Geddy Lee, if I remember correctly. They just electronically enhanced his voice. As for Metal MetalMetropolis, I need to spend a little more time reading the reviews.

I've read nolifetilmetal many times over and the only review that I have ever disagreed with (as well as on all cd sites) is Motorhead's Iron Fist. I realize that you don't straight up say it's bad, but I think it deserves much more credit than it's given. Granted, it seems bland coming off of the wake of Ace of Spades and Hammersmith, but it excellently retains their Bomber era sound, with a little bit of Ace of Spades on a few tunes. I can see how it doesn't stick out like Overkill or AOS, but it's definately as good as Bomber. And, Eddie's work on that album is incredible. Such an interesting craft and dynamic to that album.

Iron Fist is one of the forgotten Motorhead albums. I haven't actually listened to that one in some time.

xyz mentioned the Rush- Roll The Bones review:


Quote:
With the exception of "Dreamline" and perhaps "Where's My Thing?" this has to be the worst Rush album ever released. Neil Peart even attempts to rap in the title track. Argh! Seriously, this disc is powerless, has lifeless songwriting and absolutely nothing memorable, save for the very cool cover art. Rush seems to be content with cramming as many notes into a song as possible without thought for melody or memorability. Even Lifeson's usual stellar guitar playing lacks any real power this time around. Neil Pert still offers plenty of percussive ballet, but with when put behind songs that are lacking any power, it matters very little how good the drumming is. I still count myself as a Rush fan, and perhaps some Rush fans will think I have committed blasphemy, but honestly, this disc is a filler in my Rush collection rather than a frequent player in my stereo.



I actually really like this album. Bravado and Ghost of a Chance are two of my favorite Rush tracks of all time.

Honestly haven't listened to that CD in so long I cannot even remember a thing about it.

I do think I made a mistake in that review. I don't think it was Pert that attempted the "rapping" I think it might have been Lee. Hmmm.... I'll have to go back and double check that.

Have you heard the other Soulfly albums Ult, or just listened to the first one and gave up?

Oh, and Chris wants to know when you're gonna do the Era Vulgaris album review.

Heard the first Soulfly and gave up. Haven't heard any of the others.

Era Vulgaris? Who? Do I have this to review? I have a huge stack of un-reviewed CDs. I'll have to see if it's in there.

Give their last two a chance, Dark Ages and Prophecy.


And yeah, Chris told me he sent you one... its this CD...

Wow! I don't recognize that at all. I don't think I have it. I'll double check, but don't recognize that cover.

That I don't know. I was just talking about it with him. He sent it from over the pond, so it might not even be there yet...

I'll ask next time hes online, I don't hear from him much anymore since they're doing auditions and just moved to London.

" I'm A Rebel, however, sounds a bit more dated and
nowhere near as good as the aforementioned discs. "Save Us" actually
sounds like a disco tune with it's funky bass lines
"

I used to think that I am a rebel was a bad album, until I got a German Re-release. Now that i have it and listened to it, it sounds like a 70's glam band. It reminds me to Slade and Sweet. Even thought this is not as good as the other accept albums with UDO, it is as enjoyable as the others

Haven't heard that one in a while. Might have to dig it out and give it a spin.

For ult. This is a stupid comment , but here goes: although I agree with 100% that Mergadeth's Countdown to Extinction is not a sellout (it's an awesome metal album) and that it is a masterwork, I find it strange that you refer to it as speed metal. Not only is most of the album low- to mid-tempo, but the fast songs (of which there are few) don't even come close to their earlier work (excluding songs like "Liar" and "Wake Up Dead").
