Dutch pomp-metal band Epica, fronted by classically trained mezzo-soprano Simone Simons, released their second album for Nuclear Blast only a year after their label debut, the more unique The Classical Conspiracy. That two-disc live set found them performing a mix of classical works and their own songs with backing by a full orchestra and choir. This album offers more of their bombastic goth metal songs, with Simons' vocals floating atop an ever flowing stream of complicated drumming, epic riffs, and shredtastic solos. The use of orchestral instruments to add John Williams-like climaxes ...
| | Five Finger Death Punch War Is The Answer CD (2009)
Adventures Highway
$11.59
Five Finger Death Punch stormed rock radio in 2007 with "The Bleeding" (from debut album THE WAY OF THE FIST), a powerful, emotionally tense track that matched vintage, Metallica-style thrash with a throat-shredding chorus more typical of late aughts metalcore. The Los Angeles-based band's sophomore disc WAR IS THE ANSWER mines much of the same territory as that breakout song, keeping the flame of the classic `80s Four Horsemen sound alive with snap-tight chugga-chugga guitar rhythms, minor-key, classical music-inspired clean/acoustic passages, and vocals dripping with a James Hetfield-approved combination of sensitive angst and macho defiance. First single "Hard to See" backs a catchy, harmony-vocal laden melody with a syncopated groove so rhythmically engaging it could almost be called funky, while the closing track "War is the Answer" takes a classic-sounding headbanging riff seemingly straight out of the Anthrax songbook and uses it to drive ...
| | Between The Buried And Me The Great Misdirect CD (2009)
Adventures Highway
$11.49
After Between the Buried and Me pushed metalcore purists away with their most progressive release, COLORS, they decided to push even harder for their fifth release. A diverse outing with an unruly amount of genres crammed into only six songs, THE GREAT MISDIRECT is a highly adventurous, very convoluted, wildly dynamic, and extremely difficult listen. Briggs, Waring, Rogers, Waggoner, and Richardson are in top form, with their script-flipping abilities intact and their technical chops at their most extreme. This is a guitarists' album first and foremost (although bass players and drummers are in for a treat, as well), and the playing, while showy, is incendiary. Like a cross between Dream Theater (whom they toured with in 2008) and Dillinger Escape Plan, Between the Buried and Me meld creative aptitude and roaring fury as they skate genres, stapling together speed metal, hardcore, carnival jazz, chamber pop, and a few indefinable Mike Patton-esque styles. "Fossil Genera -- A Feed from Cloud ...

With over 20 albums to their name, Sparks are certainly entitled to having cut the occasional clinker, although it is hard to visualize any album ever being more disappointing than this one. Recorded in 1976, shortly after the brothers' decision to abandon their adopted U.K. homeland and return to America, it is the sound of Sparks driving straight for the Stateside jugular, an album of almost quintessential mid-'70s slickness, recorded with sessionmen and -- if you want to compare it, song for song, to any past album they had made -- written with the same depth of commitment. The occasional number does snag your attention for a moment, and the closing "Over the Summer" is one of the greatest Beach Boys pastiches ever recorded. But we don't look to Sparks for pastiche, we look to them for manic originality, madcap commerciality, and blistering brilliance, and there's just one song here that steps far enough out of the groove to even hint at the brothers' true genius. "Goofing Off" rides a frenetic violin through a lunatic paean to the joys of, indeed, goofing off, and you can't help wondering if it's also a confession of sorts. Because the rest of the album was almost certainly recorded with Ron and Russell wishing they were doing something else instead and, no matter how complete your Sparks collection is, if you don't own this record, you really won't miss it. Oh, and it has a ghastly cover as well. ~ Dave Thompson
By calling this 1977 release Introducing Sparks, the Mael siblings were being ironic -- this was their seventh album, and they were famous in England even though they only had a small following in their own country. The second of two albums that Sparks recorded for Columbia, Introducing Sparks gained a reputation for being its least essential album of the 1970s. To be sure, this LP isn't in a class with either Big Beat (Sparks' previous Columbia release) or Island gems such as Propaganda and Kimono My House. But it isn't a bad album either -- uneven and imperfect, yes, but generally decent. Some of the album's more memorable songs range from the opener "A Big Surprise" and the Beach Boys-minded "Over The Summer" (a '60s-like ode to summer love) to the Greek-influenced "Goofing Off." On the hilarious "Occupation," Sparks outlines various career options and has fun lampooning all of them -- for example, Russell Mael says of athletes: "We athletes run around and round/We moan and groan and hit the ground/And when we get to 35/We sell cosmetics and survive." Although not recommended to casual listeners, Introducing Sparks has more plusses than minuses and is worth hearing if you're a hardcore Sparks aficionado. ~ Alex Henderson

$6.79
Although there are a few blasts of upfront silliness--Deadeye Dick's new-wavish "New Age Girl," and Willi One Blood's dancehall sendup "Whiney, Whiney"--the soundtrack to the Jim Carrey, Jeff Daniels comedy doesn't try to be dumb at all.
