My Gift To You - Escape The Fate Self Titled Album Review!!!

Okay guys, let me just say one thing first, read my Brokencyde review, you will be able to tell how tired I was from just reading it. I wanted to give you something to show you I'm going to try harder now, so here it is, my review of ETF's self titled album.

*Note: Let's get one thing straight before I start, no Craig hating, or you will have made an enemy.

Track 1 is an intro called Choose Your Fate and it builds up really well. I liked it, and that's not all I'm gonna say. I liked how dark it was, it's got sorta a scary tone, and it should with all that makeup.
Track 2 is called Massacre and it's one of the only tracks with any screaming, and I like Craig's screaming, and well, let's face it, Ronnie was a terrible screamer. I love the chorus to this song!!
Track 3 is called Issues, and it was the first official single off the album, but the first song leaked, I think was massacre. Now, don't get me wrong, this IS a great song, but it's soooooo short! I mean couldn't they have made it longer somehow? But all criticism aside, this is a great song.
Track 4 is one of my favorites, called Zombie Dance, I love the part where Craig goes "We're already dead x4" That part is awesome!! It's the one song that mentions "a dead masquerade" Which was the name of their tour!
Track 5 is called Gorgeous Nightmare and I heard this song on the radio the other day, and I have a new love for this song. I think that Craig is terribly underrated, especially when I hear songs like this! F**k Craig haters, he's a f**king great singer, and a better screamer than Ronnie ever was... EVER!!
Track 6 is called City Of Sin, and between this and Issues, there are a lot of short songs on this album! But this is an amazing song!! Too bad they didn't play it when I saw them live. :(
Track 7 is called Day Of Wreckoning, and I think this could be my favorite song on the album (tied with The Aftermath [G3])!!! I like the chorus, I like the verses, I like everything about it!!
Track 8 is called Lost In Darkness and it starts out soft, but then it gets better, then softer, than better, etc.
Track 9 is called Prepare Your Weapon and it's really, and I mean, REALLY heavy metal!!! Along with Massacre, City Of Sin, Day Of Wreckoning, and The Aftermath (G3), this is one of the only songs with screaming. All criticism aside, this is a great song!!!
Track 10 is called World Around Me, and you're not gonna believe this... you ready for this... IT'S A SOFT SONG!!!! I keep expecting it to pick up, like an ordinary ETF song, but it DOESN'T!!! I don't like it, sorry ETF!
Track 11 is one of my favorites, it's called The Aftermath (G3) which happens to be the last song. It probably has the most screaming of any song on this album, and I'd expect that, being that it's one of the Guillotine saga. This is a great song, and a great way to end the album, I love it!!!
Well, another review, wrapped up, hope you enjoy this one more than the Brokencyde one. And Craig haters, go see ETF live, without Ronnie, they're amazing, no matter who you love, they're great!!! And you're gonna hate him even more for this, but they played Situations, and did GREAT!!!
Cya!

Addressing my last review.

Hey guys,
Remind me never to make a review in the middle of the night again.
My Brokencyde review probably isn't the best, because I was f**king tired when I wrote it.
I apologize for it not being the best, and I promise, the next one will be better.
Thanks

DJ Sku Presents Brokencyde Vol. 1 Review

Hey Guys, welcome to Part 2 of my Crunk review.
This is a review of Brokencyde's new shit. Enjoy.
Track 1 is called Breaking Point. The intro part is really funny. It's a pretty sick song, and I really like it. Sorry I didn't have more to say about it, I'm just really tired and I'm getting lazy cuz of it.
Track 2 is called Haterz Make Us Famous, and aint that the truth! It's got a pretty sick beat, and the vocals are AWESOME!!! So haterz, if you don't want BC13 to be famous, don't pay any attention to them!
Track 3 is called Skream, and it's pretty cool. It starts out just rapping, which is weird for a song called Skream. And finally at 0:50, we get some skreaming!!
Track 4 is called Fofo's, and it's really short... but good!!! It's got a lot of screaming for a 1 minute 27 second song.
Then there's a skit that ties in with it. The skit is kinda annoying.
Track 6 is called Around The World, and it's pretty good. It's pretty hip hop, and I'm not sure when the screaming comes in.
Track 7 is called Fall Back and it's really cool, I like it, because it's got a lot of attitude. It's got some cool screaming, and when he screams, he SKREAMS!!
Track 8 is called  Prank Call Skit and it's f**king funny!! It's so funny, I literally laughed my a** off.
Track 9 is called In Love With Da Game I think it's kinda boring. That's just my opinion, I just don't like it.
Track 10 is called Skit, and it's really short.
Track 11 is called Pothead, and it's another drug song. I mean I like Brokencyde drug songs, but I'm getting kinda sick of them. I still like them, but I'd like to hear some other types of songs.
Track 12 is called Sorry We're Not Slayer Skit, and it's basically about them not being a band, but being a hip hop "GROUP".
Track 13 is called So Punk-Rock, and I like it because there's a LOT of screaming. This is what I like about this EP that I didn't like about I'm Still Here... there's a LOT of screaming!!
Track 14 is called AM, and I'm not really into it, it's kinda too dancey. I'm not into too much dance-pop stuff.
Track 15 is called 2Night and it's really good!!! It's a good song, and I like it, I'm sorry I don't have more to say.
Track 16 is called I'm the king, and this is a great way to end the album, because there's a lot of screaming and it's really good,
Well, another review wrapped up, I'm sorry if this way too short, or it wasn't my best review, but I was very tired when I wrote this, and I'm very eager to go to bed. Goodnight!

Amongst The Reckage - Vader Skillz Review

Hey guys,
This is part 1 in my 2 part review of the 2 new crunk albums I haven't reviewed yet.
Part 1 is the first release from Jayreck's new band, Amongst The Reckage, called Vader Skillz.
I'm expecting highly of this, because it's Jayreck's first release since leaving DDC, and I already gave DDC a good review, so I'm expecting just as highly of this.

Track one is called YerGonnaDie and the first thing I noticed when I looked at the track listing for this album, is that none of the tracks have spaces. I'll let it pass, Jayreck probably just has a problem with his spacebar, but back to the song. And it is the f**king weirdest intro I've ever heard. I don't get what message they're trying to get across. *Whispers* Wait, what? The message is YerGonnaDie? Well goodbye guys!
Track 2 is called TakeMeToYourLeader, and it is f**king AWESOME!!! It's mostly screaming, okay scratch that, all screaming, yet, for some reason, I can't get enough of it!!
Track 3 is called DevilHorns, and it's pretty cool. My only problem is it's kinda repetitive. Other than that it's great! I just would've made it less repetitive.
Track 4 is called WhatYouFear, and it is really awesome!! It's like a song for anyone who feels hated, who feels alone, who feels like nothing is good enough for anyone else. Thank you Jayreck!
Track 5 is called VaderSkillz and it starts out kinda boring, but it gets better, and by the end of the song, you'll be begging for more, and... do I hear a DDC song reference? The lyrics "You can call me crunkatron"? Tell me that's not a reference to the DDC song Krunkatronic!
Track 6 is called RunRed, and it's really sick!! I don't really get what it's about though. But who the f**k cares?! Not me! It's still f**king awesome!!
Track 7 is called DropZone and it's weird, because there's no real lyrics, and the vocals it does have is just noise.
Track 8 is called DanceBeforeDoomsday Ft JJ Demon. I like it, and JJ Demon's part is okay, but it's not as good as his part in Fresh 2 Death Remix, but it's still better than the appearance he has in I'm Still Here (Go Forever The Living Dead!!)
Track 9 is called The Dark Side Of The Force, it's a really sick song, and it's the first song with spaces in the name. It's awesome!! I love it!!
Track 10 is called No Hands, it's a remix, and seeing how bad this remix is, I can't imagine how bad the original is.
Track 11 is called Dro, and the first thing I noticed is it has lyrics from 420 on the DDC mixtape. I remembered, Oh Em Gee! These are the lyrics from 420, and this is a pretty sick song!! I don't do drugs, but the songs about drugs are pretty awesome (StonerBoySwag!!)
Track 12 is called tsixEoDsneilA, and it's AliensDoExist backwards, everything in this track is backwards, so I reversed it, and it's basically interviews with people who saw aliens.
Track 13 (and the last track), is called CrazyInsane=X and it's probably the best song on the album! I loved it!!! So sick!!
Well another review wrapped up, in all I would give this a 9 out of 10.
Stay tuned for part 2, where I review DJ Sku Presents Brokencyde Vol. 1

Forever The Living Dead - Shorty You're My One Mini Review

Hey guys,
So I recently got in touch with Ricki from Forever The Living Dead, and he asked me to review his new single.
So I said okay. I listened to the demo of this song and it was different from many other crunk songs out there. It was softer. And it was more meaningful than a lot of rap songs out there. It came straight from the heart from the sound of it, and occasionally, I like a song like that. It was not as fast as other crunk songs, so I was getting the feeling that it might be boring at the beginning, but it was far from boring. It was a touching song. My only problem is, him referring to his true love as "shorty" at first made me imagine he was referring to a midget girl, but then I thought, "open your mind Michael" and those thoughts just went away. It's a very sweet, touching song, and I like it. 8 out of 10.

Dot Dot Curve :) I'm Still Here Review!!!

Dot Dot Curve has been my favorite band for over 2 years now. They started out with a lineup of just Spanky. Then Jayreck joined. For the most part they always played crunkcore, but then Jayreck left, and they released a music video for the song, Fruit Rolled Up. This song represented a major change in DDC's song style, because ordinarily, DDC made crunkcore stuff, but this could only be described as hip hop. If you're like me, you wanted to know what the rest of the album was gonna be like. So I pre-ordered the new DDC album on may 2nd, and it should have shipped may 24th, but it didn't ship, and so I finally got fed up and cancelled the order. I just went and bought it at Hot Topic.
So here, finally, is my review of Dot Dot Curve's I'm still here.
The first track is an intro called Yur Kidding. It's basically some guys (presumably DDC playing other guys), smoking and talking about how much DDC sucks, which reminds me a lot of the intro to Till The Wheels Fall Off, which was called Hanh!. Anyway, a good intro to the album, which ties in with the first song.
The second track on the album is a song called We Nice, and man, it is good to hear some screaming after hearing nothing new by DDC but Fruit Rolled Up since the announcement of the album. Pop Off was good, but it doesn't really count, since it's not on the album.
The third track is called Koolaide and it's good, and it reminds me a lot of the original DDC, y'know, aside from Young Chi being on the new album. My argument that this is better than Fruit Rolled Up, is that it's not strictly about drugs. I don't know why, but this song makes me want to drink Koolaide, in hopes that it will make me as cool as Spanky.
The fourth track on the album is Fruit Rolled Up, a drug rap, and the first new song DDC released since Your Ears Will Bleeping Bleed. This track was very different from anything on Till The Wheels Fall Off, or Your Ears Will Bleeping Bleed, because DDC went from making songs with all screaming like This Is Halloween, to a song with all rapping. Before this song, the only songs they had about drinking or drugs, were Spoon Full Of Sugar, and Stoner Boy Swag, but now they've had a lot more songs about drugs. Personally, I liked the days of mostly screaming better, but this was still an okay song.
The fifth track on this album is a song called What The Future Holds featuring Potent Da Rockstar, and honestly, for a song that's mostly rap... it's REALLY good. There's barely any screaming though and it's kinda weird, like it's been edited.
The sixth track on the album is a prelude called Titty Milk, and it's about a guy at Hot Topic, looking for the new DDC cd, like me! :) Only difference was, he didn't like it.
The seventh track on the album is called Shake Your Titties Featuring J Bigga, and for a song about shaking titties, it's pretty good. I like it mainly because J Bigga is in it, and because the song is mostly J Bigga, other than that, the song really doesn't stand out that much, but it's good.
The eighth track on the album is called Gigga Dee. The song is great! The only thing I didn't like about it is that Spanky needs to brush up on his horror movie history. He says "I can chop and screw you like Freddy with my machete". Get a clue Spanky, Freddy has knives for fingers, Jason carries a machete. I know, I know, it rhymes, but being a horror movie fan, I absolutely HAD to point that out.
The ninth track on the album is called Stop, Drop And Roll Featuring JJ Demon. It's a pretty good song, but I don't like JJ Demon's part. I can't say why, but I just don't like it.
The tenth track on the album is called I'm Weird, and if Spanky had proved anything to me in this album, it's that, one, you can change your style a bit, and not be a sellout, AND that you can be weird AND AWESOME!! It's a really good song, and yes Spanky, you are a weirdo, but you're still my favorite!!
The eleventh track on the album is called Take A Nap, and it is my favorite song on the album because of all the screaming! It's a f**king awesome song, and Spanky has proved to me that he is still hardcore!!!
The last real song is a freestyle by Young Chi called YCB Notes. YCB I'm assuming means Young Chi Baby. It was good, but I would like to see a freestyle from Spanky in their next album. 
The last track is an outro called You're Snoring ZZZ, and I don't know what to think of it, because basically, I don't understand what was going on.
Well, that wraps up my review of Dot Dot Curve :)'s third album I'm Still Here. Thank you for reading, and be sure to keep up, for a new review may be coming soon.

Review of Nostradamus by Judas Priest

Hey guys,
This is my first album review, so I thought I'd start out with something metal.
Today I will be reviewing Nostradamus by Judas Priest, released in 2008
The first track, and the intro to the album is called Dawn Of Creation. It is very boring at first, but then you can see how it ties in to the next track
THEN, we get to the metal. Track 2 is called Prophecy. It's got a pretty nice guitar riff, but not as fast as I would like. And boy, Rob Halford at age 59... can STILL scream like he's 23!!!!!! They play this song live a lot, probably because it's GOOD! In closing "I AM NOSTRADAMUS!".
The third track is called Awakening and boy, was it BORING! It was only fifty-three seconds so there's not much to say. It being so short and so soft, is why it's boring.
The fourth track is called Revelations, and I'm soooooooo glad they put this song after Awakening, because it really picks up after the boringness of Awakening. It's very dark, and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 'Nuff said.
The fifth track is called The Four Horsemen. I've heard this song a million times, and I love it. I guess after a while a song just grows on me. The lyrics go well with the song it's introducing. "Peace on earth no more"
The sixth song on the album, and the first single, is called War. I can't tell you how many songs I know called War. However, this is better than the rest. It rocks!!! Watch the music video, it looks like Judas Priest playing Second Life.
The seventh song is called Sands Of Time, which ironically, was the name of the new Prince Of Persia movie. It's another intro. All I can say is it ties in with the next song.
The eighth song on the album is called Pestilence and Plague, it rocks. The chorus is in another language, but in the end they translate it into " Into temptation, in search of glory, the price we pay, the fall of man".
The ninth track marks the first time on the album two real songs come in a row. It's called Death. It is the longest song on disk 1, being that it is seven minutes thirty-four seconds long. The intro is gonna give me nightmares, and the song is haunting as hell. It rocks, and guess what, MORE SCREAMING!!!! YAY!!!!
The tenth song on the album is called Peace.It starts soft, then gets louder, then soft again, but it still finds time to tie into the next song.
The eleventh song is called Conquest, and after this, there are two more real songs (real meaning, not just intros). AND, it's the first real song less than five minutes, weighing in at four minutes, forty-two seconds. It rocks, and I like it, even though it's kinda slow.
The twelfth song on the album is called Lost Love, and it's probably the most boring song on the album. I really don't have much to say about it except... GET TO THE METAL!!!!!
Well, The Metal God, Rob Halford must've heard my prayers, because... I GOT METAL!!!!!
The thirteenth song on the album and the last song on disk one is called Persecution, and it rocks like hell!!!!!!! Just six minutes, thirty-four seconds of the metal gods answering my metal prayers.

Welcome back. Now I am going to review disk two of Nostradamus by Judas Priest.
The first track (14th overall on the album) is called Solitude, and being that it's called "Solitude", I expected it to be boring and... 
I WAS RIGHT!!!! 'Nuff said.
The fifteenth track (second on disk 2) is called Exiled, and to me, it actually sounded like it came from Nostradamus himself. If they do a film, Rob Halford is playing Nostradamus! This was so heartfelt, and even thought it was slow, it rocked!!!
Again two real songs come in a row. The sixteenth track is called Alone and it is the second longest song on the album, at seven minutes, fifty seconds. It starts out boring, but then we get to the rock!!! Although it goes on and off, slow to rock... A LOT!!! But the best thing about this song... MORE ROB HALFORD SCREAMING!!!!
The seventeenth track is called Shadows In The Flame, and it's gonna give me nightmares. It's f**king scary!!!!!
Then we get to some metal!!! The eighteenth song is called Visions, and it is f**king metal!!!! It has an awesome guitar riff, thanks to the Downing/Tipton crew (DAMN KK DOWNING FOR LEAVING!!!!!!!!!)
Oh, and the chorus is awesome!
The nineteenth track on the album is called Hope, and it's really boring!!! I don't have anything to say about it, sorry.
The twentieth song on the album is called new beginnings, and it's definitely the gayest song on the album (thanks a lot Rob Halford)! Just joking, but it does suck (but not as much as lost love)!!!
The twenty-first track on the album is called Calm Before The Storm, and it's another boring intro.
The twenty-second song on the album (and the second to last), is the title track, Nostradamus!
It rocks!!!! Believe me, it ROCKS!!!! And the best part, EVEN MORE ROB HALFORD SCREAMING!!
I love this song, and have since I heard it, except for one thing... the fifty-four second intro. I think they just made that to prolong the end of the song, because it's so boring. Without the intro, it would be five minutes, forty-five seconds! That's fifty-four seconds of boringness out!!! All criticism aside, this is an AMAZING SONG!!!
The last song on the album is called Future Of Mankind, and it is the longest song on the album at eight minutes, thirty seconds!!! This is probably one of the most metal songs on the album, not that the other songs aren't metal. It is a bit slow though. But this is one of the best songs on the album, even though it's extremely long. Does anyone else think they planned to make the last song on the album the longest?

Well, that's a wrap, thanks for reading and JUDAS PRIEST FOREVER!!!!
