In retrospect, Opiate seems a little haphazard, but it's possible to hear the seeds of Tool's oppressively bleak, cerebral metal in such cuts as "Sweat" and "Opiate." The two live tracks, "Cold and Ugly" and "Jerk-Off," don't sound out of place, since they share the same churning riffs, black noise, and doom that characterize Tool's sound. This is not as developed as either Undertow or Ćnima, but it's possible to hear the roots of those albums all over this EP. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Back in the early months of 1992, alternative rock was exploding. Radio and MTV had finally fully embraced the oft-dismissed genre, but the bands that were receiving most of the airplay were writing straightforward, raw punk-pop songs. After the breakup of Jane's Addiction, another Los Angeles band, Tool, satisfied fans looking for progressive art-rock with an alternative edge. Issued in March of 1992, Tool's debut six-track OPIATE EP showed that the new band was creating its own highly original sound.
Half of the songs stretched over the four-minute mark, which signaled the epic-songwriting direction the band would explore further on such future releases as 1993's UNDERTOW and 1996's AENIMA. While the compositions on the debut aren't as developed as those on the aforementioned albums, OPIATE remains a gripping listen. Four studio tracks are featured ("Sweat," "Hush," "Part of Me," and the title track), as well as a pair of tracks recorded live at the Jello Loft in Hollywood, California, on New Year's Eve of 1991 ("Cold and Ugly," "Jerk Off"). Most of Tool's now instantly recognizable musical traits, like Maynard James Keenan's perturbed singing and guitarist Adam Jones' repetitive guitar riffs, were already noticeable on OPIATE.

| | VH1 Presents The Corrs Live In Dublin CD (2002)
Opiate music CDs
$6.39 (MP3 Available for Download)
The Corrs: Jim Corr (vocals, guitar, keyboards); Sharon Corr (vocals, violin); Andrea Corr (vocals, tin whistle); Caroline Corr (vocals, drums, bodhran, percussion).
Recorded at Ardmore Studios in Dublin, Ireland in January 2002.
You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when she was looking away, sized her up -- at precisely the same moment Chuck Berry was checking her out. If that ...

| | Memphis Minnie Hoodoo Lady CD (2008)
Opiate album
$8.79
Remastered reissue of the bands third full-length originally released in 1995, includes 4 bonus tracks 'The Sexuality of Bereavement' and 3 tracks live at Dynamo '95, 'Your River', 'A Sea to Suffer In' & 'The Forever People'. Digipak. 2003.
Personnel: Memphis Minnie (vocals, guitar).
Liner Note Author: Michael Hendon.
Memphis Minnie was notable not only for making a name for herself in the almost exclusively male field of early country-blues singer/guitarists in the 1920s and '30s, but for her powerful, distinctive style of fingerpicking and her big, soulful voice. While some of her best-known tunes, like "When the Levee Breaks" and "Me and My Chauffer," are absent from HOODOO LADY, it still contains the cream of the crop from her mid-period (1933-37), pre-electric work, including the bold, brassy title track, which functions as something of a calling card for this larger-than-life blues legend.
Born in Algiers, LA, in 1897, Lizzie Douglas forged a reputation as Memphis Minnie during the late '20s and throughout the '30s by singing topical ...
| | 20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best Of Kiss Vol. 2 CD (2004)
Opiate CD music
$6.79 (MP3 Available for Download)
Kiss: Paul Stanley (vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar); Gene Simmons (vocals, bass guitar); Mark St. John, Vinnie Vincent, Bruce Kulick (guitar); Eric Carr (drums, background vocals).
Liner Note Author: Jeff Kitts.
The majority of Kiss hits collections to surface since the late '90s (and boy, have there been a truckload of them) have focused primarily on the group's makeup years, which is understandable since that's when the dudes smeared the grease paint back on. But for the most part, their unmasked years have been glossed over on subsequent hits collections (or included in small quantities). 2004's 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Kiss, Vol. 2 is the first Kiss collection ever to primarily focus on their non-makeup era, ...
| | Uriah Heep Head First CD (1983) (Import) Bonus Tracks; England; Remastered; United Kingdom
Opiate MP3 Album
$11.99 
Sanctuary. 2005.
Uriah Heep: Mick Box (vocals, guitar); John Sinclair (vocals, keyboards); Peter Goalby (vocals); Bob Daisley (bass); Lee Kerslake (drums).
Additional personnel: Frank Ricotti (percussion).
Recorded at The Manor, Oxford, England. Includes liner notes by Mick Box & Robert M. Corich.
After rising from the ashes with 1982's impressive Abominog, Uriah Heep continued to pursue a similar combination of heavy metal firepower and AOR sleekness on Head First. This album lacks the consistently strong tunes and unified feel of its predecessor, but it still offers enough highlights to make it ...

| | Hentchmen Hentch-Forth.Five CD (2007)
Opiate album
$13.09 (MP3 Available for Download)
Personnel: Jack White (vocals, guitar).
Audio Remixer: Dan Currie.
Photographers: Kelly Casterline; Steve Shaw.
The Hentchmen have been playing raw, revved-up garage rock in Detroit long before that was considered a shrewd career move, and more than a few musicians have passed through the group's ranks since it started playing in 1992. One of them was Jack White, who played bass and guitar with the band for a spell in 1998, after his stints in Goober & the Peas and Two-Star Tabernacle but before the White Stripes cut their first album. The Hentchmen recorded a vinyl-only album during White's tenure with the group and, nearly a decade after the fact, Hentch Forth Five has been resurrected on compact disc. Rabid White Stripes fans looking for glimpses of their hero's creative input on this album will be somewhat disappointed -- while his Jimmy Page-influenced guitar chordings pop up briefly on two songs, most of the ...

Put on the headphones, lean back, close your eyes, and hit play. The first thing that comes to your mind is OMG! Who is this, and where can I get there music?! Well this is WESTLAND from Boston, Massachusetts! Two Cape Cod friends, one old friend from Pennsylvania, a new friend from Switzerland, and another from Massachusetts. These five band members collectively have so many story-lines and experiences which derive from the Beatles, Criss Angel, Settle, the Beach Boys, a father’s influence, and so much more.
