totally Heavier
Gilbert and CO. Get heavier with this one. Heavier meaning different. Gilberts chops of course are mindblowing. The Heaviness of this one is more from there sound and depth, not really crazy fast rythm and lots of double kick bass. For any Racer fan or Gilbert fan this is a must have. It's good to see that Gilbert and Racer are moving into a straight ahead direction, rather than just staying the same.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Most Refreshing Racer X album yet! Near Audiophile quality!
Finally... a Racer X album that my girlfriend genuinely likes and actually listens to! If you like the direction they take on this cd then you may like Paul Gilbert's "Burning Organ" cd as well.I give it 5 stars*****!!!
"Superheroes" was a hard album for Racer X to follow-up to but, I think this cd is strong,not weak.
These songs seem to have much more songwriting substance to them than just shredding the instruments into splinters as in previous Racer X cd's.
I own several expensive audio system's and this is by far the best sounding Racer X cd to date.

What happened here? - they should have waited till they had some better songs - after two great albums (Technical & Superheroes) this is nowhere near their potential - let's hope the next one gets back to form.

 Misleading Album Title!!
This album is NOT heavy at all COMPARED to Racer X's previous albums - so if you are a hard core shred/metal fan, you might be disappointed. It sounds like Racer X is playing songs from Mr. Big or Paul Gilbert's solo cds. So be warned - this is Racer X's "sleeper album", kinda like when Foo Fighters became mellower in "There is Nothing Left To Lose"..
However, on the upside, it is a refreshing new album from Racer X. Paul's tone has also changed - less distortion, more twang. His style has also changed a bit - it seems like he's dabbling in more Van Halen territory.
If you like a variety of music, I think you will still appreciate this album.

Purchase Getting Heavier CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Five Finger Death Punch War Is The Answer CD (2009)
Getting Heavier
 $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 ...

AENIMA was nominated for a 1997 Grammy Award for Best Recording Package. "Aenima" won the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
On its second full-length album, this hard-rocking quartet delivers 15 tracks of unrelenting aggression and focused intensity. Rather than overwhelm with huge sonic washes of guitar and booming drums, Tool employs a propulsive, snaky approach that makes use of undulating rhythms and clipped, ...
| | Black Sabbath Paranoid CD (1971)
Getting Heavier
$9.09
PARANOID proved to be Black Sabbath's most focused, consistent, and successful record. Leaving behind the amorphous, extended jams of their debut for focused songs and a more structured sound, Black Sabbath virtually wrote the book on heavy metal with the ominous, unforgettable riffs, thunderous rhythms, and dark themes on this release. There are some up-tempo rockers, the famous title track for one, but for the most part PARANOID oozes ...
