5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must have, April 9, 2003

By	Ken Harris (Blue Springs, MO United States) - See all my reviews

Do yourself a huge favor and pick up this CD. Any fan of guitar driven rock and roll will love this offering from Shotgun Messiah. A band that starts their CD off with a song entitled "Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll" is a band for me. Shotgun Messiah's guitarist, Harry Cody, can deliver the goods as good as, and or, better than most of his contemporaries that enjoyed way more success than he. He should be, without a doubt, herald in the same catagory as Guitar Gods like George Lynch, Vivian Campbell, Nuno Bettencourt, etc, etc. Bold statement I know, but just listen to him shred on this CD and you too will agree. I think everyone has some sleeper CDs in their collection that they love but didn't get mass attention. This is one of those. It's also one of those CDs that you can listen to over and over again and it still sends chills up your spine everytime. The song "Heartbreak Blvd." received some commercial air play, but that was about all the attention this release was given. Too bad, because it's not the best song on the CD. The songs are hard and heavy (with a few slow ones) but still possess strong melodies that is missing from a lot of hard rock. You will be able to rock out and still sing to the songs at the same time. "Second Coming" will completely satisfy the most die hard, hard rock fan. Get it, crank it, love it. Trust me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truely a natural high, September 15, 1998

By	Nathanael D. Robinson "Dewfather" (East Peoria, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Tim was the bassist on the first record, but why they didn't start him out as vocalist, I'll never know. He defines Shotgun Messiah's sound. His voice is so heavy and it runs oh so smooth over Cody's shredding rifs. In the short time they had together, they created one of my favorite records. Catch Skold now with KMFDM on "Anarchy", obviously my favorite track on the "Symbols" album.
