First you should know my life's work is collecting all output by Marilyn Manson, both band & artist Brian Warner. Thus, I bought this CD to procure the title "Break You Down." By Godhead, it features Mr. Manson & that alone made this worth the money. I'm very glad I found it. I'm an overall music fan w/ a fairly large collection of movie soundtracks. Their purpose for me is to relive the emotions I felt watching ("Demon Knight," "Sweeney Todd," "Full Metal Jacket," & "Idle Hands" are 4 excellent examples). I never saw "Dracula 2000" & have no attachment to its music. This film garnered no review that made me want to even rent it. Despite this (& putting MM fanaticism aside) I've found enjoyment in this compilation. Powerhouse 5000 starts off with a bang on the title song. Heavy, just like I like it these days. I may have to check them out further. A big fan of Disturbed, it was a pleasure to obtain a previously unheard title. "A Welcome Burden" is as angry & well sung as their newest "Inside the Fire" (LP "Indestructible" to be out 6/3/08). Front man David Draiman has amazing vocal range & the clearest enunciation of anyone I've heard. It's refreshing for a band so heavy. Even seeing them live you don't miss a word (& my first exposure was well before I owned but 1 LP). "Bloodline" by Slayer is, well, Slayer. What else do you need to know? I have a hard time not straining my neck. System of a Down with "Metro" comes across as very melodic & fast at the same time, their classic sound. As usual the message conveyed can't help but push an anti-war political statement but it's subtle & an admirable tune. Because I lost out on the music scene for about a decade of regrettable time to talk radio, Monster Magnet is a band I'd not heard before. I can't help but like "Heads Explode." The F word is annoyingly bleeped, but maybe I just got the wrong release (& I need to lighten up, for it only happens once). Lead singer Dave Wyndorf begins by sounding a bit like Trent Reznor to the point that I did a double take at my iPod screen. But the song is no Nine Inch Nails rip off. It's got a decent metal sound. Then there is "Break You Down" by Godhead. Even had Mr. Manson not joined with his unmistakable, mutable vocals it would be a great offering. I like the angry message. A little web research exposing the band's influences explains why I like them, not to mention that they signed on with Marilyn Manson' short-lived record label. I'm going to nab the album "2000 Years of Human Error" after learning that Mr. Manson, Twiggy Ramirez (Jeordie White) & Scott Putesky (formerly Daisy Berkowitz in the early Marilyn Manson days) all contributed. Linkin Park's "One Step Closer" is my favorite of their radio hits, so I was pleased to find it included. I'm no real fan of their music that I've heard but I admire their hard work & must also mention their commendable charity efforts. "Avoid the Light" is Pantera. Great! 'Nuff said. X comes off well with Static-X. Fast & frantic, its lyrics are hard to understand. "Swan Dive" by (Hed)P.E. is a reggae metal fusion sound that I like. Very funky with a good message. Taproot's "Day by Day" was bleeped once, too. No stand out but not bad. "Malice" by Endo & Flybanger's "Blind World" are too repetitive. No ground breakers. Halfcocked features Sarah Reitkopp's fine vocal style. Sorry they broke up. Saliva finishes nicely w/ old favorite "Your Disease." Great words-love/hate/failed redemption. I definitely recommend this.Read full review
