 Oath To Vanquish - Applied Schizophrenic Science Fucking amazing! Brutal death metal from Lebanon.

 Iced Earth - The Glorious Burden OK, so Jon Schaeffer turned out to be a cunt, but listening to this, he's a talented cunt. It's a pity he didn't just stick to music. And Ripper Owens is a fucking amazing vocalist, even if he didn't suit Judas Priest. He's the best thing here. The songs are jingoistic war glorifying bullshit, but the music is pretty fucking solid otherwise.

 Raging Speedhorn - Raging Speedhorn Wow! This is excellent! Sludge metal can get a bit samey and dull sometimes, but not in this case. The band uses a variety of tempos, which helps a lot..

 Aerosmith - Pump Much better than I remembered. There's some great songs on here, like Don't Get Mad, Get Even. Still won't get many listens, but glad I revisited it.

 Nuclear Assault - Something Wicked What a fucking awful album cover! Yet another trade. This really didn't grab me at all. Listening to it now, there are a couple of outstanding tracks, but those are when the band put their foot down and play fast. When they play slow, the songs are OK, but unremarkable. Still, I need to listen to it more often.

 Xentrix - Kin I was disappointed when this came out because the band had slowed down considerably. However, it's heavy as fuck. For a band often accused of being Metallica copycats, this is more a Countdown to Extinction heavy than a Black Album heavy. See Through You is a fucking incredible song. And unfortunately, No More Time is incredibly shit.

 L7 - The Beauty Process: Triple Platinum I love Bricks are Heavy, and thrashed Hungry for Stink (I got a free longsleeve with that which I wore for years til it fell to bits!) but for some reason I never fell in love with this one quite the same. I probably never will do either, but it's still pretty fucking good.

 Demoniac - Prepare for War Featuring a pre-DragonForce Sam Totman, this is a lot better than I remember. It's pretty lo-fi and amateurish in places, but that's what makes it fun. There's quite a variety of sounds here too, and a damn fine Bathory cover.

 Machine Head - Supercharger Not quite the nu-metal abortion I remembered, but just not very interesting. It has it's moments, just not enough.

 Cryptopsy - Once Was Not I've never quite understood the fuss about Cryptopsy, and quite honestly, I still don't. This has technicality, skill, and precision bleeding out the ass, but it doesn't have memorable songs.

 Dismember - Massive killing Capacity Surprisingly not very well received on release. This is an absolute fucking beast of an album! I'd play it more if I had it on CD, or if it was on Spotify (had to resort to YouTube).

 Deftones - Around The Fur Another one I bought new and then sold. More metal than most nu-metal, but fuck those vocals are annoying. I stand by the decision to sell this. Not something I'd listen to much... ever.

 Dimmu Borgir - Spiritual Black Dimensions Another trade. This just seems a bit bland and flavourless. Not my thing back then when it was new, not my thing now.

 Children of Bodom - Are You Dead Yet? Another trade. Sometimes with trades (up to CD-rs by now) you end up getting stuff you don't really want. Like this. Me and Bodom never really got on. As a death metal album, this is complete arse. However, I reconsidered it a little. This is more an exercise in death metal as pop music. There's melodies and harmonies, and most of the abrasive edges filed off. When I think of it like that, it's not quite so bad...

 Extreme - Pornograffitti Don't like it, but maybe not as bad as I remembered. A hard listen, although Nuno Bettancourt can fucking shred, and Hole Hearted is still a catchy little tune.

 Soulfly - Soulfly Such a mixed album. A couple of stunning tracks, and then big piles of shit. No, still don't like it.

 Doctor and The Crippens - Raphanadosis This is better than I remembered. Another tape trade from decades ago. It's pretty chaotic and a bit rough. It's like Sore Throat with more melodic vocals (Glen Danzig melodic, not Bruce Dickinson!)
