this is truly a sad, sad "best of" tracklisting for a band i hold so near and dear. if "when ya get drafted" isn't included on a "best of" list when it comes to the dead kennedys, the list becomes invalid for me.
and get the fuck out. where the hell is "let's lynch the landlord"? i'm not a particularly big fan of the song, but that was a radio hit (in terms of punk music getting airplay), for christ's sake.

these days bands don't know the record company is releasing their "best of" collection until it's out in the shops. i remember this happening to death metallers Nile: their record company held all the rights to the albums and just put together a cash-in compilation.

Nah, not on a Mac. I hate RapidShare, but Megaupload works fine. As for the Dead Kennedys "Best Of", you're better off buying all their albums.

mezzanine - american burnout
Now this is a shockingly good rock 'n' roll record! For the most part the songs are remarkably similar to those on Corrosion of Conformity's America's Volume Dealer but that's not Mezzanine's entire schtick. There are also epic Red Giant space rock songs as well as mellow accoustic jams thrown in for a nice diversity. If you dig the southern boogie of Raging Slab and Corrosion of Conformity then you'll surely dig American Burnout by Mezzanine. (Stonerrock.com).

ogre - seven hells
Coming from the classic rock/early doom side of things is Ogre, and as Seven Hells attests, they’ve got a keen grasp on how to lay down the righteous. Following the blueprint established on Dawn of the Proto-Man, their 2003 debut, this three-piece comes across as half Cactus, half Pentagram, and fronted by Bon Scott’s third or fourth cousin.
While it’s easiest to pigeonhole ‘em in the doom category, their tendency to let loose and jam makes them more than just “doom.” Take “Dogmen (of Planet Earth)” for instance. There are more awesome grooves in that one song than most bands can muster up on an entire album, culminating with a sweet solo by guitarist Ross Markonish. On “Sperm Whale,” the band as a whole takes turns in the spotlight, including drummer Will Broadbent. Yeah, that’s right. There’s a motherfucking drum solo. That sort of self-indulgence can be tough to pull off without seeming, well, self-indulgent, but with Ogre, it just sounds natural, like something you’d expect to find on a live Deep Purple record. Throw in a cover of Pentagram’s “Review Your Choices” and you’ve got the makings of a winner. (StonerRock.com).

slowtorch - adding fuel to the fire
(New review out on METAL HAMMER):
Italia, 07/2007: This month, we start with Northern Italy; Bolzano, to be precise. This is where SLOWTORCH hail from (www.slowtorch.com or www.myspace.com/slowtorch […]). On “Adding Fuel To Fire”, they come over as very genuine and natural. There are influences of rock’n’roll and stoner rock, they sound a bit like Kyuss at times, with the occasional hint at more extreme music, worthy of being compared to the late 1990’s Entombed. [Their] adrenaline-driven guitar work and overall biker feel dominate, most of all on tracks like “Another One Down”. The big picture you see is the crazy image of a trip, your ass on a good old Harley Davidson, bottle of beer in hand, riding all across the U.S. Slowtorch take you down the direct route (see Hangman 11), their style and attitude are those of any southern rock band, but with a twist – they add that special pinch of metal insolence for even more fun…definitely worth your attention!

camel - mirage
UK prog band that is not as appreciated as it should be... This is their best album, representing the earlier more psychedelic influenced sounds. Later on they became much more "cheesy prog" with some synthesizer wizardry, exploring spacier territory. However, here their sound is quite amazing. Great keyboard and flute work adding those progressive touches. The best song is the suite "Lady Fantasy". That song alone will blow you away. A masterpiece of psych prog, one of my favorite psychedelic rock songs of all time. Plus a nice album cover paying tribute to their apparent vice....

Holy shit. It IS definitely their best. I don't think that's the original cover. I'm not sure. I'll look later, I think I still have it.
People who liked "Camel" also liked Lancaster and Lumley "Marscape" and Quiet Sun "Mainstream".

That's one of those albums I don't to listen to anymore, so that when I do hear it, my mind is transported back in time to when it came out.
Albums can be like time machines, if you don't hear them for a long while.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity. ~ Albert Einstein "Fear is the great barrier to human growth." ~ Dr. Robert Monroe ~~~*Dosis sola facit venenum*~~~ *Check my profile to listen to my music*

yakuza - transmutations
Boundary-pushing Chicago band Yakuza’s (a term referring to organized crime in Japan) 2007 full-length, Transmutations, is the group’s most varied yet simultaneously consistent and coherent release to date.
For those unfamiliar, Yakuza melds grunge, deathcore, world beat, and jazz fusion. The most unique aspect of this band’s sound has always been lead vocalist Bruce Lamont’s contributions as a sax-man. If you have yet to hear Yakuza, try picturing Acid Bath with a saxophonist.
The first track on Transmutations, “Meat Curtains,” starts out as slow, doom-laden, grunge and develops into a crusty slice of deathcore. “Egocide,” track 2, runs the gamut from Middle-Eastern tinged jazz to what I can only describe as a death-ska onslaught.
On Transmutations, the band has expanded the ‘90s alt-rock facet of their sound. Previous Yakuza releases have occasionally tossed in some cleaner, grungy vocals with the growls but the vocal styling on this album is close to an even split.
It comes as no surprise that the eclectic Sanford Parker (member of like-minded Minsk and Pelican, just to name a few of his associations) crossed paths with Yakuza, taking on production duty for Transmutations. (livingformetal review).
