Although hard to fathom nowadays (since just about every single band is smearing on the eyeliner), there was a point during the '90s when "theatrical metal" was completely dead. But thanks to the success of Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie, the genre returned from the grave, as both artists proved that wearing makeup didn't automatically make you a pop-metallist like Poison. By the early 21st century, a whole new breed of similarly styled rockers appeared, such as the Murderdolls, whose frontman, Wednesday 13, began issuing solo outings. With Wednesday looking like the offspring of Plasmatics guitarist Richie Stotts, 2005's Transylvania 90210 is his second solo release overall, and sounds quite similar to the recordings from his full-time band. "I Walked With a Zombie" contains expected horror movie-esque lyrics, although the punk-pop riffs bring to mind blink-182. Elsewhere, however, the expected heavy sludge riffage reins supreme ("House by the Cemetery"), while the album closer, "A Bullet Named Christ," is a haunting, piano-based ditty and "Elect Death for President" sounds like an outtake from Antichrist Superstar. Newcomers to the "horror metal" genre should enjoy Transylvania 90210, but longtime admirers of the aforementioned artists will have heard it all before. ~ Greg Prato

This cd is amazing, the killer riffs and catchy lyrics are definatley a hit. I love a cd that paints you a mental picture and Transylvania 90210 buries this challange alive. The stand out tracks on the record are God is a Lie, Haunt Me, Bad Things and Look at what the Batrs dragged in. These tracks help my face crack into an evil grin. I close my eyes and am with the lyrics and the guitar riffs combined. A CD that never bores you.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Great CD
Very nice CD, I find this work to be better then that of the Murderdolls. One of the only albums I own where I can actually listen to it all at once, very solid lineup throughout the entire album. Containing lots of great songs 'Transylvania 90210' is definately worth picking up!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No a fresh change from the usual
The lyrics are amusing and it'll have you chuckling even before you reached I walked with a zombie which is the best track on the cd. However, other standouts are God is a lie, Buried By Christmas and Haunt Me. There isn't one song which I would skip as soon as I here the first note. It's just all amazing. Even the last one displays a sense of originality and spookiness. In the music business nowadays, originality doesn't come around very often, and when it does you've got to stand up and applaude and rush down to the shops.

Transylvania 90210 album
 $6.19   
This audio document of The Corrs' Dublin homecoming concert has pretty much everything fans of Irish pop could wish for, including an appearance from Bono in his earthly incarnation, fresh from an audience with President George W. Bush. It's to the band's credit that the charismatic singer fails to steal the show, despite creditable efforts via an anthemized version of Ryan Adams' beautifully downtempo "When the Stars Go Blue," and a great, leering rendition of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra's "Summer Wine."
Somewhat more mysteriously, Rolling Stone Ron Wood also turns up on what sounds dangerously ...

Transylvania 90210 CD music
$11.99  
A sprawling two-disc set, the Drive-By Truckers' SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is a cracked masterpiece that's enjoyable on several different levels. Hipsters might enjoy the giggly premise of a two-disc set devoted to a slightly altered retelling of the rise and fall of 1970s Southern rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd. Progressive rock fans lamenting the modern era's relative lack of story-driven albums divided into "Act I" and "Act II" will latch onto SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA with the same passion with which they ...

And now for something completely different. Perhaps sensing that their career as an important, consistent but nevertheless underappreciated black metal band (secondary to Emperor, Darkthrone, and a few others) was in need of a major shake-up, Borknagar came up with the radical notion of making their seventh album, Origin, a predominantly mellow collection of acoustic songs, steeped in both folk and classical music. And, heck, why not? Some of the most extreme black metal artists (Norway's Finntroll and Windir, Sweden's Dimmu Borgir and Bathory, Finland's Amorphis, etc.) have integrated both orchestral and Scandinavian folk traditions into their music over the years, so it really shouldn't surprise anyone that the gentle sounds displayed on Origin appear to come so naturally to Borknagar, as well. So it is that, along with the band's core members -- who bravely bare their instrumental talents to scrutiny and acquit themselves impressively without the shielding cloak of electric amplification -- several guest musicians are brought in to contribute orchestral strings and native-sounding woodwinds to all nine songs. These are topped with seriously philosophical and certainly pagan-inspired lyrics discussing life, the universe and everything, and result in frequent highlights throughout elaborate but supple offerings like "Earth Imagery," "Grains," "The Sprit of Nature," and a totally reinvented version of old song "Oceans Rise." On stark interludes ...
