The Skeleton Key - sounds of the old South.......2007-04-11

Dark, stormy listening to take you to the marshlands of New Orleans - at times, clearly a soundtrack, but with tracks from the likes of Robert Johnson and the hoodoo beats of Iko Iko, you'll suddenly feel an inkling for Gumbo like a true bayou-dwelling Creole.

contains every compositional piece from the movie.......2006-08-04

This CD contains what I thought was every compositional piece from the movie. I was hoping the CD in general would be a little more up-beat and personally I found it a little bit boring to listen to. Listen carefully to the music of the movie becuase that is exactly what you get.

good soundtrack.......2006-01-13

If you are fan of the blues, or you simply enjoy eerie instrumental tunes, this soundtrack is for you.
It is very rare for me to find a soundtrack that contains all the songs i liked from a movie.This is the case! It even has Papa Justify's conjuration of sacrifice, those drums really take you to New Orleans Hoodoo streets. A great complement for the fans of the movie .

Review from Equalmusic.com.......2005-10-28

If you are jonesing for the way New Orleans' used to be or are kicking yourself hard because you never made the pilgrimage down before the recent tragedy, then the soundtrack to The Skeleton Key is your best bet. Like the movie, the soundtrack transports the audience into the bayou culture with such ease that at times it's almost hard to believe that you're not in fact below the Mason-Dixon Line. Released on Varese Records, it is the perfect accompaniment to the film.

Composer Edward Shearmur and the Hollywood Studio Symphony bring the flick to life with their bone chilling orchestrations that can creep you out even in the light of day. Those who dig the horror aspect of the film will be pleased with the inclusion of "Conjure of Sacrifice," a spoken track key to the movie's plot. However, the real reason to buy this release is not for its freaky facets but for its spotlight on a few of the most influential blues artists of the twentieth century.

For anyone beginning to cultivate an interest in blues, this is a great foray into the genre and its heavy hitters. First off is Robert Johnson's "Come On In My Kitchen." Johnson, who many have dubbed the father of modern rock and roll, delivers his legendary take on Delta Blues with perfection. Mississippi Fred McDowell, master of the slide guitar, whether it be bottleneck or the apocryphal steak bone, lends his "61 Highway Blues" with a kind of raw integrity.

My vote however, goes to celebrated gospel musician, Blind Willie Johnson. His "God Moves On The Water" with its crackly sound quality, delivers a sucker punch to the soul. Johnny Farmer's "Death Letter" is easily the best track the recording has to offer. Farmer, the only bluesman on the disc still alive and kicking it, loans an infectious ditty that seeps into the skin and refuses to be washed away. Haunting and beat driven, the song is given a modern remix by southern rapper, Organized Noize. The marriage of Delta and hip-hop here is flawless.

Of course there are a few missteps and oddities. Blackbud's "Barefoot Dancing" is a jarring departure from the easy bayou theme. The song is ill suited to both movie and soundtrack, a definite skipper. As is Joe Washburn's "The Goldrush," which despite its melodic back music has a whiny quality that's hard to overlook. "Do Watcha Wanna" by Rebirth Brass Band is an interesting addition. It is a lively big band song that puts one in the mood for Mardi Gras. A rare gem is The Dixie Cups' version of the old Indian Mardi Gras chant "Iko Iko." Although given sinister connotations in the film, it is a fun and upbeat addition to the disc.

Seeped in New Orleans' jazz and Cajun music, the CD captures the music of The Big Easy and its surrounding parishes with forthright conviction. With the latest disaster still a fresh wound, the soundtrack as well as the film is jarring in ways that have nothing to do with the practice of voodoo. However, it is its ability to elegantly capture the culture and feel of the place that make both worth looking into. If only for a little while New Orleans's is returned to its former splendor through the music it has become known for. I suggest seeing the movie first then checking out this superb auxiliary.

Spooky good fun!.......2005-09-01

I bought this soundtrack mostly for the song that played during the opening and end credits, "Death Letter" by Johnny Farmer (with some fun added drum beats and enhancement by Organized Noize). The song (as well as the rest of the soundtrack) was mixed by Chris Fogel. The rest of the soundtrack is a mix of old bayou songs and Edward Shearmur's shamelessly delicious score. It's spooky with a taste of the old South. It's a lot of fun and one of the most entertaining soundtracks I have heard in a while.

Witty and Charming.......2000-08-15

This CD is fun and action packed as much as you could hope for in a CD. He uses quotes from many famous folk and classical songs and implements them into his own compositions with a bit of a twist. For example, in Classical rap, where he raps about being the best rapper in the world with terrific brass interludes between the verses. The orchestra plays a clip from Vivaldi's "Spring" and then he twists it into a record "wicky-wicky" to the same tune. He introduces every peice before it is played in a hilarious manner in which he talks about the peice and something else that was going on in the composers mind as he wrote the peice. Starting at the begining-

This is Professor Pete- Peter Schickele introduces himself as well as P.D.Q.

1712 Overture- A takeoff of the 1812 overture of course, with snatches of some famous folktunes thrown in here and there.

Oedipus Tex- A parady of the Greek Myth Oedipus Rex where he murders his father who is the King. Oedipus Tex lives a life like his brother but in Texas style.

The next tracks are more comedy than exactly music like the WTWP station giving options over the phone about how you would like to hear a certain peice of music. Cooking French... is a woman cooking a French gourmet meal but flubbing up the entire time.

Favorite Bond Film.......2007-04-26

Music score was great. Paul McCartney and Wings. Movie well fitted for Roger Moore, a great candidate for this role.
The Solitaire melody is dreamy and romantic and often moody.
"Bond Goes to New York' is sharp yet out-witted. "Live and Let Die", a sacrament to testimony. Too good to pass up.

Finally! The complete Live and Let Die Soundtrack.......2005-09-13

I have only been waiting for this for 22 years! Granted when this was first released on LP (Vinyl record technology, pre cd, pre cassette and during the horror period of 8 track tapes!),
Only so much music could be recorded on a record. This album finally satisfies all of us who wanted all of the music. Sir George Martin does a wonderful variation to the classic 007 theme as well as great action sequences with different variations of the main title and then some original songs. Sir Martin was the first to score for Bond since Barry who had scored all of the previous movies unavailable for this one. The music was a fabulous introduction to the new Bond Roger Moore.
This Album will stand the test of time when good music was being made for the series.

Best Sound Track Ever.......2005-03-20

I just love bond movies and being able to listen to the music from them is just ausome

Live and Let Delight.......2004-08-12

The remastered release of LIVE AND LET DIE is much improved. The previous issue was no different than the track line up on the original 1973 vinyl record -- or eight track tape, depending on your antiquated stereo. Not only does this release include additional superb tracks, some of the original cuts have also been lengthened and more closely correspond the the film soundtrack. George Martin, the Beatles producer, took the helm from John Barry in scoring the eighth James Bond film soundtrack. Though no one has yet equaled Barry's compositions for Bond films, which we have not heard since 1987's THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS, Martin's soundtrack was perfect for launching Roger Moore's first outing as Bond. Let us not forget Paul McCartney's brilliant theme of the same name.

The musical chemistry between McCartney and Martin is obvious as the title theme music is blended throughout the soundtrack. As a matter of trivia the movie producers originally planned to use McCartney's title theme with a female vocalist before the former Beatle showed his mettle as a negotiator. In the end, Paul McCartney and Wings performed the title track. LIVE AND LET DIE also proved to be a hit Apple/Capitol single as well.

There are a couple things missing from the CD. When some of the James Bond soundtracks were re-released a couple years ago they included selected soundbytes and an analog movie trailer. Apparently the remastered LIVE AND LET DIE soundtrack did not rate these extra features.

Oh well, Live and Let Die. In the meantime, live and go buy.

Why weren't these tracks included in the first place?.......2003-04-16

Yes, that is my sentiment....in fact, it seems in all the other re-mastered Bond soundtracks, the best music is left out, and Live and Let Die was no exception.

George Martin took over from John Barry to write the score for Live and Let Die and he more than admirably did the job. First of all, (take note David Anrold), is that he incorporate the theme song into the score even though it wasn't written by him...thus continuing the tradition of Bond music set by John Barry. Second, he wrote another piece for Solitaire which is also used extensively throughout the score. In all, George Martin wrote a score worthy of Barry himself....

Which is what makes the original release such a disappointment because many of the best music was left out. The re-master remedied that and includes virtually the entire score: the music for the pre-title sequence (gun barrel/snakebit), other notables are Bond and Rosie, The Lovers, Bond to New York, and many of the cues for action/chase sequences. There is an alternate cue for San Monique which I think is better than the one on the original release.

But why the 3 stars rating?
We have to wait for Bond's 40th anniversary for the soundtrack's proper release, AND rebuy the soundtrack (I have it in cassette and CD and now the Re-master). Call me bitter, I think the people who runs the Bond empire should stop treating us fans so shabbily.

Rise in Vibes.......2007-07-16

I had very high hopes for 2007. The year, which began as potentially one of the biggest in recent memory for not only fans of reggae music, but fans of all forms of Caribbean music, hasn't disappointed none at all. Besides the rather controversial manner in which the Cricket World Cup played out, the vibes here have been at an all time high. When reggae music is at it's best, or when soca music is at its best, with the top notch artists making the top notch vibes, there is no greater region in the world and one could clearly claim, that at least for recent years, within the past decade or so, 2007 has been a standard bearer, an all around excellent year for vibes. For those very few of us who actually buy reggae albums (and I do mean `FEW') 2007 has also been a spectacular year with such a wide and varying array of artists reaching with releases already and still many more to come. When the year began the few that were at the time known: There were to be all but certain releases from such artists as Richie Spice, Spragga Benz, Ras Shiloh, Natural Black, Chuck Fenda and perhaps most anticipated, Lady Saw's return with what turned out to be the very very solid, Walk Out. Still even more were released as the year has progressed such as offerings from the cast of `usual suspects, i.e. Sizzla, Luciano, Turbulence (all of whom have made multiple releases in 2007), Lutan Fyah and Anthony B, as well as others like Bunji Garlin representing for soca, another Natural Black album (three in all this year. . . ), Jah Mason and Chezidek, and that's just the first half of 2007. The second half, while it figures to have a bit less in terms of quality does boast potential releases from such reggae giants as Bounty Killer, Elephant Man, Wayne Wonder, Assassin and perhaps the grandest prize of them all of 2007, a potential release from Capleton in late 2007 (and I'd be downright shocked if Sizzla reached the end of the year with a `pedestrian' two releases). Another nice twist for the year is the potentiality of several very nice and very high profile debuts from young artists. The first of note was May's release of (BROWN's TOWN native) Ras Myrhdak (BIGGUP ST. ANN'S MASSIVE!) on his well powerful debut, Prince of Fyah and just recently dancehall singer Mavado tripped up the vibes with his scalding debut Gangsta For Life. In the offering for the rest of the year, potentially, are debuts from the likes of Aidonia, Munga Honourable and the long overdue Ce'cile album, (as well as the first `free` debut of soon to be released singer Jah Cure). Other nice finds even still brim outside the normal radius of reggae, including releases from Josie Mel and Cocoa Tea, and the official releasing of Tony Rebel's I-Rebel and Queen Ifrica's debut album, Fyah Muma, you almost have to be impressed with the vibes of 2007.

All that being said, one of the single most anticipated releases for me personally comes in the form of one of the freshest breaths of air dancehall has seen in quite some time. The US born, Jamaican blooded and grown Alaine Laughton has established herself as THE current female dancehall singer of preference in the past two years following such wonderful names as Chevelle Franklyn and Nadine Sutherland (who herself has a nice album this year as well, the excellent Call My Name) (and arguably sharing the role with Ce'cile who sings almost as much as she DJ's). Guided by one of the finest young minds and production talents in the music, Donovan `Vendetta' Bennett, the young singer has made her name backed by some of the most lush and fluid riddims of this generation, Alaine has made a beautiful style of music which is accessible to both reggae fans, and MUSIC fans alike. Her music even more so blends the r&b stylized dancehall with more mainstream vibes, although she is seemingly just as comfortable riding hardcore riddims (most notably those produced by Vendetta and young dancehall production trio, Daseca) which are likewise given to some of the harshest male dancehall DJ's in the game, like Vybz Kartel and Busy Signal. I myself have rather enjoyed Alaine's rise to prominence, particularly as she has mixed and collaborated with some of the more hardcore styles of dancehall. I cannot tell you how many compilations have been saved by Alaine's vibes! Through listening to riddim albums and other hardcore compilations, an Alaine tune can blend in with the rest on a riddim and yet not interfere at all with the overall vibes of a riddim. Check either of Vendetta's riddims, the Sweat of the Justice albums as evidence of Alaine giving a nice woman`s touch to some of the more harsh dancehall riddims. On the other side, the softer more rootical vibes is where Alaine truly excels and exactly what she does on that type of vibes is DEFINITELY something to hear. Drawing a line which is closer to her dancehall counterparts than her more rootical ones, Alaine creates GEMS of romantic and laid back songs which had been missing for quite awhile in the dance. The dancehall love song is a song which is always appreciated, but many of its greatest performers in recent times, most notably the legendary Beres Hammond, haven't been as active or accessible as one would hope (wouldn't it be soooooooooo nice if Beres would put out an album yearly?) and not to mention that many have been. . . Men. Alaine represents ultra consistently (and she has a very very nice song with Beres, Love Sound, which will probably be included in his next album) for the women, arguably making some of the strongest lover's material seen in the dancehall in quite a long time. She is very active, very consistent, and if you can't tell, I kind of like her just a little!

Taking the Japanese route as many of her peers have in recent years, Alaine brings forth her highly anticipated debut album for Avex Records of Japan. Apparently the label, along with another Japanese label, Victor, has some sort of working relationship with western reggae giant VP Records as they both have been at the helm of several very anticipated albums as of late, most recently, in March, hardcore dancehall veteran Spragga Benz made his long awaited return with the album Live Good (which I'm still trying to get down here); also in recent years, VP artists Da'Ville and Voicemail have made their true debuts months before making their `debuts ` with the label itself on Japanese labels and dancehall production group Ward 21 FINALLY returned last year with their third album, the awful King of the World, also for a Japanese label. Alaine takes the same road with her Sacrifice, named after her MASSIVE current hit of the same title. Of course, the album is produced by Vendetta with the majority of productions coming from Vendetta and "Daseca". What would be the real complaint here, as is the case with many reggae albums released internationally is that Sacrifice is full of older songs. Any fan would most likely already be familiar with roughly 90% of sixteen tracked Sacrifice. However, unlike many other albums built on the same practice, what can be said about sacrifice is that most of the songs here are not only just good songs, but are PROVEN hits. And if you are fan of the artist, much like myself, you really won't mind too much (and I know that's sounding a little two faced considering I ripped several albums, including Ward 21's for having albums which were old and stale a full year before they were actually released) because Alaine makes such wonderfully beautiful material. Then there's her voice! In reggae you have very few artists whose tone is more applicable to the style of music which they make, definitely Beres Hammond falls into that category as his cool and docile vocals flow effortlessly over his. . . Cool and docile songs; Alaine's laid back, yet strong voice which has several levels beyond what she typically uses is custom fit to her songs of varying degrees an styles.

My favorite Alaine song is also my choice for Sacrifice's best offering and its saying a lot because, as I mentioned, the album Is full of hits. Vendetta's Season's riddim is the backdrop for one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard as the songbird creates a vibe so strong on her No Ordinary Love, that it is fully my intention to play the song at my wedding! No Ordinary Love, despite her career to date and developing in the future is sure to be Alaine's signature love song. It was one of the finest songs on the riddim which is saying a lot as even the riddim itself, full of hits like Jah Cure's epic Love Is, Wayne Wonder's excellent I Believe, Sean Paul's international hit Never Gonna Be the Same and Natural Black's Jamaican #1 hit, Far From Reality; Alaine's No Ordinary Love more than holds its own with any of those tracks. The `supporting' cast is full of tracks which I probably voted as the best tracks on any given number of compilations over the past couple of years. One such a track is Deeper! Deeper is a song with an abundance of beauty, it could lend some beauty to another song, and still be a beautiful track! It was one of her bigger hits and having had the opportunity and utter joy of seeing Alaine perform the song live, it loses none of its luster in live situation. Another such song is the gorgeous Rise In Love over Arif Cooper's equally gorgeous Guardian Angel riddim, if this album were released two or three months ahead of when it actually was, it probably would have been titled Rise in Love, a very fitting titled to the album still and somewhat a term by which Alaine's entire career has projected to the head of dancehall. And there's also Heavenly! Over Vendetta's riddim of the same title and despite the presence of Richie Spice's excellent hit, Brown Skin, rather easily the best track on the riddim. Currently Alaine is riding high with the title track. The song was a one-off for producer Vendetta who pushed it greatly making it arguably the biggest hit of her career to date. Sacrifice actually leaves the arena where I could simply call it `beautiful' or `lovely' and armed with a wonderfully done video, directed by local video kingpin Ras Kassa, I would call the song, sexy, first and foremost, it is a song, love will be made to!

On the other side, the harsher side of the vibes, check Anything,. Anything flows easily over Daseca's Anger Management riddim (which was the same riddim which backed Full Clip from Busy Signal and Mavado, and Mavado's own signature track, Real McKoy, and she feels just as home over the vibe as her bullet crazy male peers scoring a shot which ranks amongst the albums best and the riddim makes virtually no changes or accommodations to Alaine, but she shifts her own vibes to fit it. Check Wine, an earlier hit from the singer over Vendetta's Sweat riddim and I remember in reviewing the album for the Sweat riddim saying how a couple of the newcomers had actually outshined their well veteran counterparts (the other being Alaine label mate Munga). Her newest dancehall shot comes over Vendetta's Back Ache riddim with Ya Ya (I Want It) which is a nice mix up with the vibes as it shows Alaine genuinely having a fun with the riddim, it almost comes off as a complete freestyle with her going to Spanish even at times. And check Make Me Weak which rides the same infectious Smash riddim made famous by Tony Matterhorn's Dutty Wine.

From the newer material on Sacrifice check Earth Cry which is probably the song which best shows Alaine's true lovely voice in all of its forms over a smooth acoustic riddim. The song builds nicely over its 3:44 and she blows the lid off her voice nicely at least once during its course. And Keep Loving You, one of Sacrifice's stronger tracks built over a bubbly but laid back "Daseca" track (and listen to the first second of the track to see why I call it "Daseca"). The album fittingly ends with a very nice remix of the title track which incorporates more of a jazz sound into the vibes and of course, the track still works.

I'm definitely recommending Sacrifice, not only to reggae fans and fans of Alaine's but to r & b fans as well. I can definitely Alaine's vibes being appreciated in the r & b/ pop genres as well and just anyone who really enjoys strong music. Of course it helps if you love reggae, this is still Jamaican music, albeit with a slightly progressive sound. Of course, I admit to my own partiality, I'm a large fan of Alaine's and having had the pleasure of meeting the singer I can say that she's a nice person as well. Do yourself a favor, pick up her NICE album.

Motorheads 1990's bullseye.......2007-07-21

The 1990s saw a real resurgence of Motorhead. After Eddie Clarke quit in 1982, the band seemed to struggle for the rest of the 80s. No release was really "bad", but Another Perfect Day was a largely failed experiment, and Orgasmatron and Rock n Roll were warm ups runs (albeit good ones). With 1991's "1916" album however the band definitely found a sound to equal, even exceed the original Lemmy/ Clarke/ Taylor souund.

1995's Sacrifice is in my opinion the highest point of the post Clarke era. It's probably their most consistent album of the 90s. There are probably some songs on other albums that I like better, but as a whole, I find that this is an album where I seldom skip anything.

It's also notable for being probably Motorheads heaviest. Of course all Motorhead albums are "heavy" but Sacrifice replaces the more normal sharp "attacky" guitar tone with a low frequency rumble guitar tone. It's also a bit darker and gloomier than usual. I consider Motorhead primarily a rock and roll band at heart, with the more serious, Sabbath-esque a lesser aspect. Here though it sounds as if the rock and roll is of less importance although of course it's still there in healthy doses!

A highly recommeded album for Motorhead fans. If you like Sacrifice, 2004's Inferno is in a similar spirit and of similar high quality.

This is Motorhead!.......2005-05-30

Sacrifice (1995) after flirting with mainstream acceptance and alienating both audiences, Lemmy and Co. went back to the backs and made a raw metal album filled with depressing and dark lyrics coupled with heavy doses of
power chords, mean riffs and drums! All the songs are fast and hard hitting. This disc goes through you like a bullet, the first five tracks are one the money (Sacrifice, Sex and Death, War for War, Order). Pure Motorhead, accept no substitutes!

Awesome album, highly recommended.

A classic Motörhead album.......2004-06-14

Everybody always talks about the old Motör-albums. They are great, sure, but the albums that the band hase during the 90's and in the new millennium, are fantastic!
Sacrifice is the last album that has the two-guitar line-up with Würzel. Sacrifice is also a great demonstration from drummer Mickey Dee, whose role in Motörhead has become very important. His style of playing is FAR BETTER than Phil Taylor's (or Pete Gill's), and without him, there couldn't be songs like Sacrifice or Make 'em Blind.
The title track is probably the greatest Motörhead song written for more than a decade. The album is very strong, typical Motörhead, though I don't think that it is quite as good as the previous album, Bastards, which I think is their greatest ever.

Oh no!.......2003-01-31

This album is not representative. It's Motorhead's weakest release up to date. It's just heavy and maybe Lemmy tried to show that he and his buddys are the heaviest, dirtiest and loudest on earth but they aren't. Only for true fans.

as good as ace of spades.......2002-03-28

everyone is always ranting about ace of spades. i love that album but the new motorhead stuff can't be missed. this is pretty much the same classic motorhead sound. its actually a bit heavier but it still has the punk/metal motorhead sound. it appeals to a wide variety of listeners, if you like iron maiden, the ramones, or slayer you would probably like this. it is really good.

Finnish Metal Masterpiece.......2007-05-17

Not the best metal band in the world, but they do deserve a lot more credit than they have been given. I love this band and they have a great style. Listening to this cd makes me want to go to Finland for the wintertime. Buy this cd, you won't be disappointed.

progress in winter metal.......2005-11-23

This is a good buy for two full discs of music. You really hear a band find it's sound and get much better in the process. And as they get better they hopefully will now get bigger. Some of the older stuff is muddy due to a limited budget I would guess, but some has some real doomy almost sorrow moments that I really like and wish they would incorporate more of. If you like black, death or other extreme metal with a progessive slant check this band out.

A great, fun collection.......1999-11-25

This CD is great music and pure fun from beginning to end. I would never claim to be an afficianado of classical music but I can listen to this disc over and over again, great music tempered with a great sense of humor. A must for anybody who enjoys classical music but doesn't have to take it too seriously.

Turning Over a New Leaf.......2007-05-09

I never liked heavy metal bands that scream instead of sing, but then I heard Living Sacrifice. The variety of riffs in almost every song outweighs that lack in vocals. Even better than The Hammering Process, which is amazing.

Christian metal that is heavy as hell.......2007-05-04

First time when I heard these guys was back when I was a senior in high school and Symbiotic was playing on Music Choice, then a buddy passed me a burned copy of The Hammering Process and said "listen to this." I was iffy at first because he mentioned that they were a christian metal band, but that changed soon as I listened to it. He also mentioned they were breaking up, which was a shame. Three years later, I had that same burned cd. I gave 'em another shot, and bought that and Conceived In Fire, which I was very interested in hearing after I read that Andy Sneap (Machine head, Arch Enemy, Nevermore) had mixed and mastered it. To this day, those cd's have never left my collection and they never will. I get the feeling that when they created this album, they wanted to continue from where they had left off on Hammering, but make things sound heavier and their playing sound tighter. They made the right move getting Andy Sneap involved. Anybody can get an album to sound metal, but Andy usually makes a huge impact on how it'll sound in the end. Raw, yet crystal clear. The end result is scathingly, brutal thrash metal that would possibly make Slayer proud.

It'z about time!!!!!!.......2006-11-24

FINALLY my search for an amazing christian band is over.. This is my first LS album and I am impressed to say the least. I have been getting frustrated by reviews saying things like 'THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!' about crappy bands and then u go buy the album and itz crap... I have been exploring bands like Pillar, P.o.d., Project 86, Maylene and Demon Hunter (In order) - these are good bands but Why can't I find a christian band as good as Opeth?! Thank you people for being honest, you have changed my life forever!!!!!!! amazing guitar solos, thundering percussion and drums, Thick guitar riffs, brutal vocals........ what more could a man want????????? Sucks that they split. GO BUY!!!!! NOW!!!!!!!!!

Their best work.......2006-06-30

This album is awesome! I really think Bruce Fitzhugh's vocals are so much better than DJ's. Anyway, this album is hard and in your face. The blast beats never stop and Bruce's growls are better than ever. While Reborn is probably their heaviest work, the vocals on that album are not up to par. Bruce's vocals got lower and lower (which is better) as every album came out. On In Memoriam, his vocals on the new recordings are very low and powerful. The music is heavy but technical at the same time and very well put together. A must-have for LS fans. (R.I.P. LS)

good and consistant "death" metal.......2006-05-30

I know they aren't death metal, however if you like that sound then this CD kicks a$$. I must admit that they are probably heavier than any Slayer, Pantera CD i have. The vocals appear mature and not just a high pitched screaming, a good growl yet you can actually understand the lyrics. To top it all off it is a Christian band/were (broke up). The band is talented and each song is different in it's own unique way.
If your Christian, get it to support this style of music. If your into death metal it still rocks. I've seen Pantera live several times and It's a shame I'll never get to see LS live.
