d.r.i dealing with it lp

dri's first album (the dirty rotten thing was an ep!) it took me a long time to even get this. i knew they went metal and i didn't know how this would sound. well...for the most part really good. straight up fast as fuck hc. right where i belong. the mix is great. all the musicians get plenty of sound. people spend large amounts of money triing to get the perfect production and some punk kids did it on one album. the vocals especially are really pissed off. he still sounds like that today! not the low parts. they screwed up the intro to i don't need society. i liked the ep version where it was just drums and guitar then all hell broke loose. the lp version has some doublebass stuff and the lyrics are sung slow. yes mam was better on the ep too. but whatever they can't just stay the same. the worst song is nursing home bluez. oh my god. it just goes on and on and on and i fall asleep. 9 hours later it's still going. the song is pure metal but it just doesn't go anywhere. i love metal. we all know i love metal. if you couldn't tell just by reading the blog posts you're an idiot. but this is just annoying. the song goes nowhere and it's a problem that would dog the band on the rest of the albums. the songs are just too long sometimes. other than that it's a great album. the lyrics are a bit simplistic but whatever. i still prefer the dirty rotten ep to this but it's fun for a listen. ps the clip of the singer's dad yelling at them is funny as hell

d.r.i thrash zone lp

you know when a band crosses over it puts me in a weird place. you know my metal love by now probably. but when a hardcore band i love goes metal it's weird because on one hand i love metal but on the other hand they were one of my favorite hc bands and now they're following a trend. now you know about dri a little from my blog. i even reviewed a metal album by them a fiew months ago (seems like three years now) but now i actually have words to say what this is. it's ok. the guys know how to play but please get rid of the singer. i love his hc singing but in the crossover dri he really doesn't change his way of singing so it really doesn't fit the music. other than that it's a good metal album. so check it out if you like metal.

d.r.i full speed ahead lp

alright i know i just did a blog post but i was listening to my collection of albums and full speed ahead came on. well after about 10 minutes of air drumming and dancing around my room (yes i am an idiot) i just thought i'd write a review. see i've always been a metalhead at heart though i'm a little more awhere than your avrage dumb metalhead. think of me as a more extreme version of erich good bad music. no i'm joking. but anyway when i was seven i heard metallica for the first time. it was one of the songs on the black album and i was hooked. i like pretty much anything heavy but the more orijinal underground stuff is higher up than the horible nu metal and metalcore stuff i have. i also like some pop punk but not green day. but hey who cares. i can like what i want. i'm not really punk. i mean i am i guess but i don't call myself punk because i hate labals. my mind is open to a lot of music. anyway this is the best metal dri album yet. it's actually the last dri album. i like all the albums i've heard from them but this is the best crossover album they did. i like the good double kick drummeing the singer still sounds like it's 1982 and he's singing busted or something. they even do another version of who am i. i like the dirty rottin ep versiong a little better but whatever. i was checking out the flex discography (which is way wrong some times) and it said that you couldn't hear hardcore in the sound anymore. really? maybe so but i can tell they were at least influenced by hardcore. pretty good album but i have to say one more thing. people bitch about a band going crossover. well here's my take. as bands get better musicly they don't want to play the same 1/2 fuck you hardcore thing all the time. i know it's a letdown but you have to understand. after all if you could play good and did the hardcore thing wouldn't you want to change a little? this album still has some good points in the lyrics. and to everyone who call dri posers. you are the poser. then again maybe i'm just a poser. oh fuck it we're all posers! anyway buy the cd and enjoy. or don't enjoy it if you don't like metal. but i think i made some good points on this post you just have to decode what i'm saying. just hit your head five times and you'll be as stupid as me. i'm actually better at talking than typing. ok that's enough for now.

d.r.i dirty rottin ep 7

what can you fucking say about dri? this ep is just fucking awesome! 22 songs in almost 18 minutes! we all know they crossed over into thrash which i like but i guess people weren't happy about that. wimps. i haven't heard the second ep or the first album yet but if anybody can tell me how they are i'd love to know. when i was randomly picking albums (not really) i snagged about three dri thrash albums. and what i have gathered is listen to them two or three times. or just be a fan of metal. as i said before i didn't like the ssd metal shit but i generally don't like that ac/dc stuff. but i did like that gang green album. but anyway you can get this as always at gbm and buy the remastered (blech!) cd. i hate remastered shit that's why i got it from gbm. i can't think of too much to say right now. ps. the labal d.r.i is on just said that they are releasing the dirty rottin ep in it's original form and they will also be releasing it on a 7. and some more information. one pressing on 7 then they rerecorded the guitar and released it as the dirty rottin lp.
