After borrowing the first season from my friend, Metalocalypse became one of my favorite TV shows ever! I've never seen it on [adult swim] since I really don't watch TV, so I just watched the DVD instead. Being a fan of heavy death metal music and plenty of over the top humor, this show delivers!! Season two seems more vulgar and over the top than the first season, plus the new songs that Dethklok perform are likely to be on the next album of theirs! Overall, if you're a fan of heavy metal, adult humor and [adult swim], then this DVD is for you!
What's great about it: Plenty of adult and violent humor! Can watch over and over again and still laugh!
What's not so great: Each episode is only 12-15 minutes long, but the content is there!

Even though I was way younger to know who Guns N' Roses was, I still can't believe it took this long to come out with another record! A full 17 years!! Sure W. Axl Rose is the only original member left, but that doesn't mean the music is bad!!! He still maintains his powerful voice from the lows to the highs and everything in between! The music is also very refreshing by not having a similar song play one after another. They've really got some variety on this CD and while it may take a few listens, it'll grow on you. It's also very cool having Buckethead help out on guitar for this CD!! His solos are out of this world!! Overall, while to some people this 17 years may seem like a waste of time and over hyped. Also by not being the band they were back in 1987-91, people may also be disappointed. But to me, it was worth it and a release like this may never happen in the media industry again! So own a piece of history!

What's great about it: Lots of variety, Axl's voice, screaming guitar riffs, a refreshing listen
What's not so great: Few soft songs, but it doesn't really matter

Let me just cut to the chase here. This is Slipknot's fourth major release (fifth if you count their debut M.F.K.R. album) and it's a great welcome back from the nine men from Iowa who have been away since their last record in 2004! With a great mixture of heavy metal mayhem as heard on Iowa and their self-titled album to the more melodic and softer tunes as heard on their Volume 3 album, it's surely a treat for your ears!! The band sounds that they've really have a diverse sense of writing music now rather than just being either heavy and fast or slow and experimental. They've really taken the best from their previous works and blended it together which is, All Hope Is Gone. Corey's voice is darker than ever and screams his guts out yet still manages to sing like an angel (Snuff is a great melodic tear-jerker). Overall, those of you who have any interest in Slipknot what-so-ever will NEED to pick this up and listen to it!! For the bonus tracks and additional DVD of the making of this album, it's worth the extra dough! More than likely, you will not be disappointed!! I'm sure not! I'm just eager now what they will come up with next!!!
What's great about it: Dark, fast, and heavy, yet at times very melodic. Corey's voice is amazing! Bands overall best effort!
