Thanks Ross! I just went and D/L all the 'bytes and here what I thought (if anyone cares!)

Fucking mad distortion! Made my ears rattle! Other then that, lame.

Sounds like shit to me...just the kind of shit MTV loves so much!

Take a OK song, add some screaming guitars and voila, crap!

Ok beats, cool basslines...more guitars and vocals, kakka! (snip) I went thru them all and wrote little reviews of each 'byte, but then figured I'd just sum it all up in one fucking line. Wow this shits 'oribble! What the fuck were they thinking? There was only one without vocals, Metallica/D.J. Spooky and it was quite lame regardless. All had varying amounts of screaming guitars and distorted vocals. The only cut with some balls was the Slayer/ATR one and it just sounded like rotterdam with bad vocals. Goldie/Rollins sound good until Henry started talking (and I LIKE Black Flag and the Rollins band!) Overall, this shit is really going to piss me off I get bombarded with it everytime I turn on the tv, radio or go anywhere. Metal vs Techno? Looks like Metal won to me... word to the mothership, brock. np: Amon Tobin - 'Bricolage'
