1. The Smashing Pumpkins – Love
Eh, I listen to far too much metal…. but the Smashing Pumpkins, on this track, have a guitar tone that is similar to the thick, fuzzy sound preferred by early Swedish death metal bands. The Pumpkins excel on this track, as they seemingly always do when the guitar is emphasized.
2. Alice Cooper – Hallowed be my Name
Aggressive lyrics set to a boring tune.
3. ZZ Top – Sleeping Bag
So, when this song began I thought it was a track from “The Land of Rape and Honey”. That does not mix well with their vocal styles and guitar tone, although it doesn’t suck quite as much as one would expect.
4. Jefferson Airplane - She Has Funny Cars
BORRRRINGGGGGGG…….
5. Behemoth – Track 93
Extreme Metal Newb Spotting Tip: “BEHEMOTH RULES!” –This band is favored by those who know very little about extreme metal which isn’t new.
6. Judas Priest – Between the Hammer & the Anvil
There’s something off about this track, they don’t fully embrace the full on thrash assault displayed elsewhere on the album. Instead, you get an awkward combination of old school Priest & groove metal.
7. David Bowie – It Ain’t Easy
Eh.
8. Blood – Positional Warfare
The band themselves were not satisfied with the production…. but, they still slay. If you think Nasum are good, Blood will blow your mind.
9. Handel – Juravit Dominus
10. Soilent Green – Cold Steel Kiss
A crappy song by a crappy band that plays a crappy style of metal, if you like Agalloch you’ll probably think they rule.
