5.0 out of 5 stars 4.5 Stars- Exellent, But Why The >>Edited<< Songs?, May 4, 2005

By 

Pete "RUDESS=God" (The Glass Prison) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mtv2 Headbanger's Ball 2 (Audio CD)

This is one of the best CD compilations out there, only beat by Contaminated (Relapse records) and Uncorrupted Steel (Metal Blade). I will now go right into the sonsas I have a limited writing space...

Disc 1
1. Duality - Slipknot - I really like this song. One of the best from thier best album. 5/5
2. Right Now - Korn - Don't like their new album much, but I guess this is one of the better ones. 4/5
3. Rose of Sharyn - Killswitch Engage - Great metalcore band. I really like this song. 5/5
4. Kick the Chair - Megadeth - Dave Mustaine rules! 5/5
5. Right Side of the Bed - Atreyu - I liked their first album, but the new one sucks! 0/5
6. Step Up - Drowning Pool - Not the same without Dave.... 2/5
7. Weak and Powerless - A Perfect Circle - Too mellow, should of had "Judith". 3/5
8. What Drives the Weak - Shadows Fall - AWESOME! SF dominates! 5/5
9. Imperium - Machine Head - Best song from their new album, but like I said...WHY the edited version? 4/5
10. Waiting for the Turning Point - Superjoint Ritual - Phil Anselmo is my hero. 5/5
11. Into the Darkness - Kittie -Okay band. Morgan's hot though. 4/5
12. Your Sweet 666 - Him - Too soft for this type of compilation. 3/5
13. Unholy Confessions - Avenged Sevenfold - This is possibly the only good song from their new album (first one rocks, though). 4/5
14. Laid to Rest - Lamb of God - The uncensored rules, but this version sucks. 0/5
15. Prophecy - Soulfly - Best song from the new album. 5/5
16. House of Doom - Black Label Society - Good song, but not the right sogn to be on this compilation. 4/5
17. Breathing New Life - Damageplan - Awesome band. R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell :'(
18. Quiet Place - In Flames - I'm so sick and tired of all their old fans saying "they sold out". 4/5
19. Archetype - Fear Factory - One of their best songs in general. 5/5
20. My Tortured Soul [Live] - Probot - Great band. 5/5
Disc 2
1. Medusa and Hemlock - Cradle of Filth - Great band. Dani's voice can be annoying though. 5/5
2. Great Dividers - Unearth - Great band. Tey're better live. 5/5
3. Antihero - God Forbid - Possibly the best metalcore band. 5/5
4. We Bury Our Dead at Dawn - The Agony Scene - Good song. 4/5
5. Needled 24/7 - Children of Bodom - Alexi Kaiho rules! Best song on collection! 5/5
6. Love Lost in a Hale of Gunfire - Bleeding Through - Decent track. 3/5
7. Like Light to the Flies [Demo] - Trivium - The best new band, IMHO. Hard to believe their singer is only 18! 5/5
8. Fuel for Hatred - Satyricon - Great black metal! 5/5
9. Rain to the Sound of Panic - Himsa - More great metalcore. 5/5
10. Deadly Sinners - 3 Inches of Blood - I lve the line "Enemies of metal, your death is our reward." Why doesn't anyone like this band? 4/5
11. Contagion - The Black Dahlia Murder - Metalcore? Hell no! 5/5
12. I Been Gone a Long Time - Every Time I Die - Ok. 3/5
13. She Speaks to Me - Blood Has Been Shed - Howard Jones' other band, better than KSE. 5/5
14. Waiting for the Heavens - Eighteen Visions - One of the only good songs from their new CD. 4/5
15. Scars of the Crucifix - Deicide - Rules. 5/5
16. Deepest Gray - All That Remains - Phil Labonte's new band is killer! 5/5
17. Venus Complex - Twelve Tribes - Good song. 4/5
18. Panasonic Youth - The Dillinger Escape Plan - Some good math-core. 5/5
19. American Hollow - Martyr AD - Okay. 4/5
20. Progenies of the Great Apocalypse - Dimmu Borgir - Great
band! 5/5

Overall, a great compilation. $15 for 40 tracks? Why not?

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Selection of Bands, September 28, 2004

By 

S. Martin "Music Fan" (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mtv2 Headbanger's Ball 2 (Audio CD)

This is a great two disc set! There is a great selection of artists both well known and some up and coming artists. What I enjoy most about this disc is that there are several different genres of metal music on this. This disc has the possibility of introducing some realy great established bands to a new fan base.
