WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Test Thy Metal

Posted about 1 year ago
You guys are putting the hurt on me. My metal tastes wete forged back in them ancient 70's. Guess I kinda moved on, because, reviewing the music at hand, the pickings are slim."Now", a co-worker told me, "If you don't listen to anything else (in her stack of discs), listen to THIS one" while stabbing a forefinger down on the Billy Talent II disc. Glad I listened to her. I don't think you'd call this metal all the way, but the opening track shreds nicely. Apparently, these guys are big in Canada and Europe. Funny how things can slip by ya in this little podunk country :)Billy Talent are:Benjamin Kowalewicz - vocals Ian D'Sa - guitar, backing vocals Jonathan Gallant - bass, backing vocals Aaron Solowoniuk - drums

  4. Bartleby says What put me off the metal production is its lack of "finesse?" But this is definitely something I could like.

  5. darmuzz says Hey scotfree, sorry I missed this post earlier. That makes me remiss because I am a major Billy Talent fan. If you like this, I would also recommend the last two albums by Rise Against.
