Strapping Young Lad - This was my first time to hear SYL so I wasn't sure what to expect. The vocals surprised me some. Had just a little bit of cookie vocals going on, although it was more like aggressive screeching/yelling vocals. The rest of the band was very good. Great use of the keyboards. song list: 1. Dire 2. Consequence 3. Relentless 4. Rape song 5. Aftermath 6. Devour 7. Last minute 8. Force Fed 9. Dirt pride 10. Bring on the young Arena - Contation - This is a Great CD. Has a nice Melodic Metal sound. song list: 1. Witch hunt 2. An angel falls 3. Painted man 4. Madness lies 5. A spectre at the feast 6. Never ending night 7. Skin game 8. Salamander 9. On the box 10. Tsunami 11. Bitter harvest 12. The city of lanterns 13. Riding the tide 14. Mea culpa 15. Cutting the cards 16. Ascension Marty Friedman - Music for Speeding - Another great CD. Keeps the solo guitarist CDs in good company. This one doesn't suck and has great flow. Still listening to it now. song list: 1. Gimme a dost 2. Fuel injection stingray 3. Ripped 4. Its the unreal thing 5. Cheer girl rampage 6. Lust for life 7. Love sorrow 8. Nasty machine 9. Catfight 10. Corazon de santiago 11. 0-7-2 12. Salt in the wound 13.
