4.0 out of 5 stars The sophomore follow up..., March 10, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Spells Of Fear (Audio CD)

This is Joey Belladonna's sophomore follow up to his Self-Titled album. It was put out in 1998 (3 years after the S/T album). I think the S/T album Belladonna put out was better than Spells of Fear. If you made me describe this to you I'd say, it sounds like early Anthrax. Joey plays drums on this and it is quite good, although the guitars are not as good as they could be. Still it is good thrash/Thrax style metal, giving a good ol' feeling that metal is still around. I guess joey is working on a new album and his website, which is (type in his name).com has more information about this album that I have.

2.0 out of 5 stars Way too much emphasis on Joey and too formulated., July 7, 2008

WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THIS ALBUM: Joey's voice is [thankfully] not cleaned up and gives the band a more "raw" feel sound. There are, although too short, some good guitar riffs in some of the songs as well.

WHAT'S BAD: To start off, being that there's a "raw" feel, Joey's voice fills in way too much of the music. Seriously, within 5 seconds after a song starts, his voice kicks in and practically fills in almost every second, with the exception of the [exactly] 30-second guitar section 2/3 into the song. And, almost every single song follows this tired formula. Hey Joey, how about stepping away from the mic now and then and letting some of the guitar work come through, like in earlier Anthrax? At least that would have been better. Joey tries too hard and as a result, the album is much too formulated to be a good raw album, and not polished enough for radio airplay. This falls into a useless void, where nobody wants to listen and nothing sounds great...PASS ON THIS SLEEPER...
