Paul Gilbert and Scott Travis are amazing on this cd. Classic Racer X heavy sound with a more experimental groove at this time.

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.

"Disciple" was nominated for the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance.
Don't blink. Otherwise, Slayer's eighth studio release will scoot right by at hyper-speed. In fact, morbid images and jackhammer guitar riffs are the only traces that GOD HATES US ALL leaves behind on its demolition path. Heavy, indeed. If lead screamer Tom Araya slows down just for a second, dark mantras such as "I won't be force-fed prophecy" and "My hate is contagious" become frighteningly intelligible. Slayer might not be pretty, but no one can accuse the band of campiness--this is as real (and scary) as it gets.
GOD HATES US ALL is another searing slab of classic Slayer. Highlights include "Disciple" and "Threshold," which capture the group at its bombastic best. Stylistically, the album has all of the characteristics of great thrash metal--grinding guitars, crisp bass drums, and convincing shout-speak vocals. GOD HATES US ALL is not for everyone, however. It will ...
