MTV2 Headbangers Ball, Volume 2 CD

 Great Collection Of Songs
This Double Disc of Headbangers Ball Is Incredible. It Has almost all of the songs from this past years shows. My Only Comlaint is they did not include Iron Maiden's Wildest Dreams or Rainmaker which were barley shown on the ball and either one of them were both worthy of being on this collection so check them out to, overall it kicks major A**!!!

 A very diverse mix
What's good about it? Disc 1: All the hard rock heavyweights flex their music muscle here. Chunky bass and guitar riffing dominates Korn's "Right Now". Megadeth (minus everyone but Mustaine) return from the dead with "Kick the Chair". Dave's miraculous recovery from a nerve damaged hand is apparent on the frantic opening riff. The speed metal days are over, but the heaviness and distain for politics remain. Drowning Pool's supercharged fighting anthem "Step Up" is sure to get your blood pumping. There's plenty of Pantera leftovers with Superjoint Ritual's "Waiting for the Turning Point" and Damageplan's "Breathing New Life". Newcomers Lamb of God are quite vicious on "Laid to Rest", while Kittie show you how sharp their claws are on "Into the Darkness". Disc 2: I have to admit that I despise death metal and the like, but it would be unfair for me to dismiss disc 2 as crap. If you’re into blood-curling, snarling, angry vocal from the pits of hell and thunderous, piercing, teeth rattling guitars and rhythms, finished off with some of the darkest, evilest lyrics, they you will love disc 2. It's nothing but the best of death, black, and occult metal. I would like to point out that I actually liked Cradle of Filth's "Medusa and Hemlock". Dani Filth has finally decided to use his deep snarl over his high-pitched wail that sounds like a dying cat. The band is as good as ever. Hopefully it's a sign of what's to come. They haven't sold out, but I think they've found their balance. Also check out Ozzfest 2004 main stage act Dimmu Borgir on "Progenies Of The Great Apocalypse". Anything bad? Okay Fear Factory and Korn, it's time to try something new. You're latest songs sound like your last five albums. You've conquered that sound, now tweak it. Bottom Line Forty songs for around $15, you can't go wrong! A very diverse mix.

 Amazing Collection of Metal!!
This CD is probably the best collection of metal that I have ever heard. Now, I own some of these bands' current albums, like Slipknot, Killswitch Engage, Lamb of God, and so on, so I have heard many of these tracks before. However, it still doesn't detract from the quality of this album. The "lightest" track in the entire collection is, "Weak and Powerless" by APC, who are brilliant, anyways. I totally recommend this double CD.
