Razed in Black "Damaged" Album Review

RIB comes of age....
After hearing a song from RIB recently, I found and purchased Damaged and immediately was floored. Coming from a background of metal RIB was my first Goth/Industrial/Dance crossover album and since has set the mark by which I measure all other albums. The mix of aggression and beauty is something most other artists in the genre can only wish for. I quickly went out and bought Shrieks but was fairly disappointed with it. It seemed as if Romell's songwriting skills have matured and he now has the knack for immediately hooking the listener and not releasing them! There really isn't a standout track on this album--the whole thing is incredible. If you are looking for something with a driving beat that doesn't ever get monotonous, PLEASE do yourself a favor and pick up Damaged!!!

Atari Teenage Riot "Redefine the Enemy" Album Review

defintely for the hardcore
with ATR being known pretty much known worldwide (except the u.s.), they like other bands have had a bunch of different versions of songs appear in places where you wouldn't think of looking. so, here comes "redefine the enemy!" to the rescue. presenting with what could be a handful of god knows how many different versions there are, this is truly great stuff.

just about every track here is a remix except for the first two which serves as a nice sampler what ATR sounding like live for those of us weren't lucky enough to attend a show when they toured the u.s. there are 2 a cappella versions which is very different considering that what makes ATR amazing is the beat that supplies the lyrics, but to hear it minus beats, it still holds up very well ("waves of disaster"). then there are the instrumentals which remove the lyrical style we know all love and its like listening to a brand new song.

the cd itself comes in this beautiful silver metal case that truly is unique among the usual cases you see at a record store. the package compliments the disc perfectly as a standout edition to your collection. there is a sorta mini poster on the inside which contains photos of the band both live and promo shots, along with tiny snippets of newspaper articles that remind us that ATR was/is a band that took no prisoners and remained true to their beliefs.

this is pretty much for those who love ATR as those who have never heard of them, might not get what makes this so special...unless you're adventerous and love to take a chance and buy something you've never heard of. either way, this is a fantastic collection of b-sides & rarities.

i'd tell you about the tracks...
but nah, you gotta do that yourself...
where would be the fun in me telling you?
