You know, I almost put that Riot V on in the gym tonight, but chose some Arch era Fates Warning instead. Anyway, right now is Overkill - White Devil Armory

Any of those choices are good choices.

I just ordered this on LP. Just waiting for it to show up now.

King Crimson - The Power to Believe

Devil City Angels - S/T

I downloaded this from Amazon because of two glowing reviews at sleazeroxx.  It's yet another "supergroup" consisting of Tracii Guns, Rikki Rockett, Eric Brittingham (who's on the album but has been replaced by Rudy Sarzo) and Brandon Gibbs.

Based on the reviews and that lineup I figured this thing would blow me away.  Meh.  It's OK and there's nothing particularly wrong with the album other than the fact that the whole thing sounds like any other hard rock band on the planet could have recorded it.  Given the lineup I expected more "fire" or "soul" but this just comes off as generic to my ears.

Good stuff. Search out the Live In Japan concert from this tour, it was released on DVD under the title Eyes Wide Open. This material kicks even more ass live than on the studio album.

Opprobrium - Serpent Temptation
Cauldron - In Ruin
Dying Fetus - Reign Supreme

Benediction - Subconscious Terror
Holy Terror - Mind Wars

I'll have to do that, live Crimson is almost always killer. I haven't fully digested Power to Believe yet, but I can see it becoming a sleeper favorite in their discog for me. It's heavy and weird and almost-industrial; I can imagine a little influence from touring with Tool showing through.
