This review is from: To Ride Shoot Straight & Speak the Truth (Audio CD)
Let's get the bad stuff over with first. I feel an unnerving duty to warn you that, at first, this CD will sound like White Zombie. It has to be said, and although these first impressions certainly DON'T last, the first song sounds like a crunchier, MUCH heavier take on Electric Head. Now let's get down to the rest of this, Entombed's 4th full-length CD. The band have established themselves as one of the world's premier death metal bands, and no doubt many people will be worried that this album has gone the same way as Death's 'Symbolic' or Morgoth's 'Feel Sorry For The Fanatic'. Well, over the past few releases Entombed have pioneered the use of Rock guitars in death metal, the unmistakable Sunlight Studios sound, and this is no exception, as Sweden's first and foremost deathsters pile on the grooves and create a swinging masterpiece of bitter 90's metal. Yes, 90's metal. Not death metal. There's still the death metal power, but the riffs are not, and nor are the vocals. Thiswill undoubtedly disappoint many. That's just the way it is. But hey, give metal a chance.

This review is from: To Ride Shoot Straight & Speak the Truth (Audio CD)
Amazing record i just dug out of the crates and am currently rediscovering. I'm not really that well versed in death metal and don't even own Entombed's two first records. But as many reviewers before me have pointed out the genuine death metal-schtick is not really present on this record or the previous Wolverine Blues. For me, the greatest thing about Wolverine Blues and this record is the production. The thick, bludgeoing riffs and the excellent drumming is killer. Nicke Andersson clearly commands the songwriting on this record, and in retrospect it should have come as no suprise that he left Entombed to concentrate on the more straight rock n' roll-oriented band Hellacopters. The greatest tune, among a lot of great ones (To Ride, Shoot straight..., Like this with the devil, Damn deal done etc.) is, for my money, Wreckage. It's a screaming loud, feedback-drenched monster of a song. To me, portions of it echoes a bit of Sonic's Rendezvous Band's mighty City Slang (especially the coda where Hellid and Cederlund before my inner eye raise their guitars in a classic Fred "Sonic" Smith-like pose), albeit much heavier and complemented with Petrov's beautiful howling. There are some filler song, but as an album this holds together brilliantly. In spirit I find it reminds me of MC5's Kick out the jams, although in a more extreme, metal way. There is a certain delicious sloppiness that gives this record a unique charm. If you like loud guitars, loud vocals, loud bass, loud drums and loud feedback, this is for you.
