Welcome to Rock Music Critic! Check out reviews in the Flash menu above or the static links below. This latest version of the site now includes reviews with an embedded music player so you can listen to whole albums once for free courtesy of Lala.com. Lala doesn't always have an album, but when they do I will include the player. What's easier than listening to an album to decide whether you like it? Feel free to ignore my petty ramblings and just listen to the tunes. That's really the whole point anyway. Up the Irons!! ~ George
Mindgrinder
Mindtech
Remember that little boo-boo-beep sound that used to play at the beginning of cassette tapes? What are cassette tapes? Never-mind, it was before your time. Anyway, the CD starts off with that noise and I thought that was pretty cool.
Musically there is nothing here innovative and new. But I enjoy Mindgrinder. I wouldn't really call this black metal, but it does remind me a bit of the more recent Immortal albums.
The production is good enough, but it could be better.
Yeah, this is a pretty good disc. Nothing much sets is apart from a million other metal bands, but it's a good listen. It is heavy, the singer is gruff but he enunciates fairly well and is mixed well, so I like this.
Whoa. I just heard some rather Emperor-ish clean majestic vocals thrown in there, that is quite cool mixed in with the harsh vocals. Check it out.
