Ah, the smell of the yanky dollar is strong in Teutonic noses. read, music none at all.... not a single fault A lot of great Maiden tracks, Some tracks not previously released live, Amazing crowd response Many tracks have been released on previous live albumsBruce's vocals are clearly sufferingNot the band at their best Still fun.

Classic heavy metal covering 20 years Repetitive, another un-needed best-ofCosmic Thing - The B-52's
New Wave & Post-punk - 1994
Hammer Smashed Face - Cannibal Corpse
Cannibal Corpse's good song, and some okay covers. Unremarkable performance.
Concealed - Augury
Truly innovative and experimental progressive death metal that retains all its power. Won't be to more traditional metal fans' tastes.
Concrete Gospel - Chief Kamachi
Hip-Hop & Rap - Gangsta & Hardcore
Codex Necro - Anaal Nathrakh
Great if you're angry. Lacks restraint and structure.
Cold Lake - Celtic Frost
Not quite as bad as I expected. Weak, repetitive and pointless.
Colour It In - Maccabees
Origional, Classy, catchy, clever, superb lyrics. Some songs could have faster paced endings (like theri starts). Album could of been longer.
Come Clarity - In Flames
Quality, technicality, song-writing, etc etc! Nothing, one of my favourite albums.
Chamber Music - Coal Chamber
Nu Metal - 2003
Cartel - Cartel
Some great songs Some awful songs
