Best Heavenly ever.......2007-07-08

If your a fan of power metal or melodic speed metal or just good ol' fashion metal, this is a must have. I didnt think they could out do Dust To Dust, exspecially with Fred in Dragonforce, but I think this album is way better then Inhuman Rampage... No offense to Sam and the boys.

top notch power metal.......2007-04-25

far and away, this is the best power metal album i've heard since sonata arctica's "reckoning night". sonata's very own tony kakko (among others) even does some guest vox! every song on this album is great and it never lets up. great melodies, great orchestrations, great solos... all around amazing!!! i recommend this to any fans of fast, symphonic metal, you will not be disappointed. i've listened to this cd at least once (usually more) every day since ive gotten it and it just keeps getting better and better. go buy it now!!!

Amazing, perhaps their best ever.......2007-01-03

After a string of bad/very weak albums, Hypocrisy has returned with a vengence, producing what could arguably be called their best album. That's right - it's that good.

What surprised me most about this album is how much the band sounded like they did on the Final Chapter and on their self-titled albums: intense, brutal melodicism, the right blend of heavy riffing and tremolo passages, slow and melancholy tracks that balance well with the heavy, fast, aggressive tracks, and an amazing range of vocals by guitarist Peter Tägtgren. The second most surprising thing that struck me about the album is how original, new, and fresh it sounds. What we have is a paradox: on the one hand, this is vintage Hypocrisy; on the other hand, it does not sound recycled or stale in the slightest.

The production on this is really phenomenal, a real contrast to the last 2-3 crappy albums they put out where the production was terrible. Another thing that stands out is the vocal ranger of Tägtgren - he can shriek like Dani Filth or produce a deep guttural growl that sounds like Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth.

To sum up, this album is nothing short of amazing. If you liked the Final Chapter or their self-titled, buy this. If you like quality melodic but brutal death metal from Sweden, buy this.

Hard and Heavy with melody!!! (4.8 stars).......2006-07-03

Hypocrisy hasnt dissappointed me yet. In my opinion "Virus" should be listened to at least once or twice everyday if not more. If you thought that you had heard the extreme sides of Melodic Death Metal...you havent until you've heard this!

This album is great in every aspect. Lyrically, intrumentally, vocally, etc. The only thing that bothered me was the lack of guitar solos and thats the ONLY reason it got a 4.8 from me.

The bottom line is, if you like Melodic Death Metal, and you like your Metal HEAVY and BRUTAL, then BUY THIS ALBUM!

damn, another great album from '05.......2006-05-06

Hypocrisy seems to have hit the peak of their career with 'Virus'. A perfect blend of brutality and melody with the good old Hypocrisy trademark sound. A %100 flawless album for fans of In Flames, At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, ect.

Brutaful Music To Die To .......2006-04-03

This is a great album. Not one track is skipable, in my book.
"Warpath" is the highlight. The best drumming on any Hypocrisy album is found here.

Customer Reviews:

one of my favorite tributes.......2005-11-10

Maybe the original is always the best. Maybe no one should ever cover a song. Maybe we shouldn't wear our influences on our sleeve. Maybe this music thing is just too exclusive and elite and we should stop listening.

...or, maybe all that provincial, possessive, narrow B.S. should be ignored, and we should enjoy great CDs whatever form they take. Revolutionary notion?

Granted, there are a few skippers on here -- but there's a high percentage of superb readings of DK songs in a wide stylistic range, and the sound quality is excellent.

Not to be missed are the Didjits, Alice Donut, Steel Pole Bath Tub, and Kramer's psuedo-duet with Sebastian the Crab (from the Little Mermaid)...so wierd!

I prefer the mix of "California Uber Alles" on this CD to the one on the Disposable Heroes album, if you are a fan of them. It sounds a little more immediate.

crazy CD.......2005-02-16

If your looking for a new sound to old DK favorites look no further. This CD has artits that capture the mood and the feeling of the DKs but do it in there own way. From country to rap to loungue versions of some of the best punk songs ever made. A great buy, and probably the best 99 cents i ever spent

Tribute albums?.......2002-10-25

The problem with tribute albums; you only buy them only if you liked the original, and this is not the original.
The only remakes I like of DK songs; Disposeable Heros 'California Uber Alles', and Mojo Nixon's 'Winnebago Warrior', which suck on this album.
I mean buy the original, and if you have to buy a remake, buy the original remakes, Hipocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury and Gadzooks: The Homemade Bootleg.

Aging very well........2000-06-08

I bought this album on vinyl when it was released. I sat in my room with headphones on, listening over and over again. It was great. I taped it and listened in my car. My friends asked, "what the hell IS this?". I kept listening. It ruled.

Time passed, I lost the tape, sold my turntable. Last month I bought the CD, wondering if it would still sound as good as it did when I was younger.

It mostly did. The highlights are definately Moon Over Marin, California Ueber Alles (and if you like it too, check out Spearhead, Mike Franti's current group), and the NOMEANSNO track (a capella! wow!). The other tracks often benefit from a little more volume, and some are too close to the original DK interpretation to be very fresh, but altogether a fine tribute album, and worth your time and money if you like Dead Kennedy's music.

a dead kennedy's no brainer.......1999-10-20

this was Alternative tentacles 100th release, they wanted to make it count. if you like DK, this is a must have. The covers are well done and too much fun. this album gives you a complete new feeling for"Moon over Marin" if you are old school and remember the "old days" of punk, this is a definite keeper

Great Techstep album.......2007-02-06

This is my first Ed Rush/Optical CD (I'm relatively new to the Drum N Bass scene), But given the quality of the tracks on Chameleon, I can't wait for the next album. It might be a bit heavy for people really new to DnB, but if you like a good techstep, neurofunk and even a bit of jazzstep in your listening queue,you cant go wrong with this one! The sweet drum n bassed version of Weezer's "hashpipe" (Bloodmoney) is easily one of the most high energy tracks on the album!

Very catchy grunge-power pop, unfairly ridiculed........2004-01-24

I remember two industry jokes about Green Apple Quick Step (named after a Byrds song, of all things): a) That it was "the last unsigned band in the Washington grunge scene; and b) That its song, "Bottle", was a ripoff of Nirvana's "Negative Creep".

I don't know if either observation was true, but I do know that when I first saw lead single "Dirty Water Ocean" on Muchmusic, I bought the album right away and it stuck to my CD player like glue. While far from a perfect album, Wonderful Virus is full of quirky charm, snappy songwriting, and instrumental hooks.

There's something to be said for a band that can make "Peel away/Hairless skin from the alien" into a chorus hook, and that's exactly what it does on "Ludes and Cherrybombs". While the sci-fi-hip lyrics are an acquired taste, the inherent musicality of the songwriting gets through. "Dirty Water Ocean" is a breathless rush of adrenalin, like the fastest, crunchiest ruckus raised by a band right next door; ripoff or no, the shuffling "Bottle", with its sludgy Alice in Chains-like groove, changing tempos and male-female vocal tag team, is an arresting rock tune; "Rapid" and personal favourite "Eating on All Fours" distinguish this band, the former with its languishing free-flowing melodicism, the latter for its muscular rock-anthem energy, blitz of chord changes, and bassist Mariann Braeden's wistful backing vocal.

Lead singer Ty Willman's vocal style owes more to progressive rock (sounding almost like Blue Oyster Cult's Eric Bloom!) than punk or grunge; the participation of Braeden in vocal chores enriches the sonic palette greatly; and the instrumentation crackles.

One of my favourite records of that fertile alternative-rock period.

They deserve more credit.........2003-04-05

This album is so amazing and such a breath of fresh air.. I also like "Reloaded" too..

A Band That Should Be Recognized As One of the Best Ever.......1999-03-20

Who can't love the backwater/alternative sound of Ty Willman's voice. As if his vocals alone are not enough to hook you, Mari Ann Braeden's angelic background singing adds an element that separates GAQS's stlyes from all others. I'm an experienced music listener, who orders you to buy this album. This album gives you alternative rock songs such as "Feel My Way", and "Dirty Water Ocean". Also amazing songs that differ in stye, such as the soft "Rapid", and the spunky "Can't Believe". And who couldn't be obsessed with the song (my favorite) "Ludes And Cherrybombs".

think of Slayer on downers........2005-05-16

if Slayer's two guitarists took downers, and one of them took a break, Virus 7 is what you would hear. the music is slightly slower than Slayer's music, but it still rocks the joint.

absolutely spectacular!.......2002-07-13

I've always loved Hank Shermann for his work with King Diamond in Mercyful Fate as I love Andy La Roque, the guitarist in King Diamond's solo band, and I think they're two of the most underrated guitarists around. So, whenever they put out solo projects of their own, I jump on them. Virus 7 is even better than the Gutrix album, Hank's last solo project. I love this cd, I play it everyday, it's great to drive to at night as well. It's very well produced, and I believe these guys were just trying to pull of a fun, hard-driving metal album...Mission accomplished! I give it 5 stars and highly recommend it.

Good and heavy.......2001-05-06

When I bought this c.d., I didn't know what to expect.But after listening to it, I was really impressed. First of all, the sound of this c.d. is awesome.Great engineering.I guess it was done in Sweden, where they are really sickin the head about being audiophiles. Anyway,check out "Better believe", "Fight the Fight" and "Execution".They are very much in the vein of Armored Saint and Mercyful Fate with a more aggressive vocal style!! A

YES!!!!! GOOD PUNK ROCK.......2006-05-31

The Virus was one of the best punk bands around during their time together. ANd this release definitly shows it. With songs like "Nowhere to Hide" " Rats in the City" and "Already Dead" make this a punk masterpeice. Long Live the VIRUS. If you dig it check out Cheap Sex, mikes new project

Malt-O-Bene.......2005-04-21

This is the Hardcore Street punk album ive ever heard, every one is diggin the Unseen and telling me how good they are but the Virus s**t all over those dudes. It probably deserves 5 stars but Its to hard to say. I really dig this guys voice, thats probably why it stands out more that other HC street punk ive heard, You can actually understand him very clearly and yet he still yells, not only that, the songs have a good tune so it doesnt sound just like noise going 100 miles per hour. all you 'street punks' will love it and any one into HC rock and roll (fwark the emo, scremo, poppy, boys night out crap) just buy it if you like fast angry quality music with a message.
also check out Clit 45 and Union 13.(not as good as these guys tho).

THE VIRUS REDEFINES ITSELF........GET THIS CD.......2004-05-02

AMAZING
This Cd is the greatest thing the virus has put out. When I heard the virus's first CD " still fighting for a future" I thought it was pretty decent, spotlight tracks were "until we win, they lie, no time at all" The cd was agressive but some songs lacked energy over all the cd was 4 stars good. When NOWHERE TO HIDE was released, i have never heard such great agressive punk rock in my life. This new formation of the band is the best street punk combination ever. The vocals on this cd are phenomenal. The vocals are so agressive and destructive, yet they deliver a range of vocal variety that a lot of street punk bands dont have. This cd sounds very different from your average casualties, or varukers cd's. The guitar work on the album is incredible dealing killer solos and awesome guitar riffs with back up guitar in the background. The drumming is killer also. The drums in this recording have so much intensity they break all sound levels. One thing I love about this cd is that the lyrics dont focus all on politics/government that a lot of punk music does, instead it focuses on hardships of life and the anger and hate kids have to deal with. Some of the greatest tracks on this cd are So long, rats in the city, another day goes by, my life my world, working for the company, vicous rumors, already dead, the very last day. This is the greatest thing ever to hit street punk, bringing the UK 82 legend to new levels. DONT HESITATE TO BUY THIS CD!!!! BUY IT!!!! ITS THE GREATEST!!!! MUST HAVE@!!!!!

Review by Kerry Miller.......2002-12-31

I own the CD Nowhere To Hide by the Virus.
I've never been a big fan of Punk music before (gone to a few concerts but never really got into them), but I got this Cd as a gift and I love it!
you all should all get this cd!
Props to my cousin!
