hatebreed for the lions cd

yes, a cover album. why? i don't know, cause i'm bored. also this will be a track by track review not just telling you how good/bad the album is. ready? we all know about hatebreed's blend of hardcore and metal, right? well if you don't let this review and the one i did previously for this band be your guide 1. ghosts of war. this is a slayer song. i much prefer the original. this sounds like what it is a modern take on an old song. nice, proves that even hatebreed can get thrash when they want too. jasta's vocals are annoying though. more on that later 2. suicidal maniac. by suicidal tendencies. i have never given suicidal a real chance. sorry if i've commited some sort of metal sin. i'm guessing this is after suicidal went metal. nice stuff even if i've never heard the original 3. escape. this is by metallica. actually i prefer this to the original. i didn't like ride the lightning anyway. i just think this makes better use of the melodic parts. jasta's voice isn't overdramatic and annoying as all hell on this one and he actually seems to have a good clean voice. not bad, they should do more clean singing like jasta's solo record 4. hatebreeders. by the misfits. the drumming on this is annoying. too many bass kicks. other than that a pretty good version of a great song. hatebreeders. hatebreed. mmm maybe??? 5. set it off. by madball. i've heard the name but know nothing of this. sounds like typical hatebreed to me groove drums, annoying shouts. i like hatebreed but jasta's voice annoys me a bit on later albums. moving on 6. thursty and miserible. black flag. i really don't care much for damage but this is alright i guess. a more metallic version of a punk song. whatever 7. all i had i gave. crowbar. i've never heard crowbar though i've been meaning to check them out. not a bad song. i hear crowbar is a little slower than this though.8. your mistake. agnostic front. i loved this song on the first af album. when it was recorded again for cause for alarm i didn't like that version. and guess what? i like this version even less. it just sounds all wrong to me. the tuning, the drums, the vocals. also the mix is too professional and clean. next 9. i'm in pain. obituary. my friend likes obituary. she may read this. so i better be careful haha. i don't really know obituary except they were a death metal band. this is an okay song. jasta is annoying as ever and the groove shit gets annoying fast but it's okay i guess 10. it's the limit. cro mags. i actually know this one! i like how jasta trys to do john's voice. overall a nice tribute to this band. especially with the trouble that harley's gotten in to 11. refuse/resist. sepultura. you can hear where they get the groove for the sound on this one. jasta trys to do max's shout. it works sort of. the guitars are tuned down a bit. good cover i guess 12. supertouch/shitfit. bad brains. i don't really care for the bad brains. but this cover is even worse. in fact if i hadn't looked up the lyrics i wouldn't even know what song it is. good job guys! 13. evil minds. d.r.i. a little more controled than d.r.i but still a pretty good cover. not bad 14. shut me out. sick of it all. i know next to nothing about sick of it all except they're pretty reactionary i hear. maybe i'll check em out later. anyway good song 15. sick of talk. negative approach. the mix is clean and i think jasta is using some sort of effect. but anyone who likes negative approach is a friend of mine. never going to replace the original in my heart but not a bad tribute to the masters of pissed off hardcore 16. life is pain. merauder. i've never heard of this band in my life. they're a 90s band which explains that. i don't know sounds like typical hatebreed to me 17. hear me. judge. judge was one of those bands who killed hardcore. i will never check them out. well never say never. anyway not bad metalcore 18. boxed in. subzero. another band i've never heard. slow this time. good way to end this thing. over all...download this it really isn't worth your time. it's too clean, too groovy, too dramatic. plus some of the bands are wankers (judge.) if you like metalcore of the old school get this i guess
