Liking:
Opeth - Deliverence/Damnation (powerfull Metal on one, Powerful grace on the other. Both sides of Opeth, both amazing.)
Zyklon - Aeon(So far the metal album of the year. massive death mixed with sweeping black metal, includes the melancholy monster Black Metal never wrote)
Aura Noir - Black Thrash Attack(Like the name implies, the perfection of black/thrash)
Soilwork - Figure Number 5(Nu Metal without the baggy pants, dreads, whining. Covered in competant playing and hooks to keep you interested)
Pantera - Power Metal(equal parts LA glam and Bay area Speed. Awesome party record.)
Dislikes:
Nickelback and any of the clones spawned from their sickly presence. Pretentious bitches who make me ashamed I live so close to their hometown.
Ashanti. She brings nothing new to the table, she is not hot, hanging out with Ja Rule makes you a joke.
Pantera for breaking up.
I'm sure there are more in there, but that's what I got right now.
