Free Music Notes for Metal On Metal
Free Music Review: YEAH...IT'S METAL!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I purchased this on vinyl when it first came out and still have it. I loved it back then and all these years later
it still kicks all kinds of butt. This is as good as anything that's out there now, and better than a lot of it.
There isn't a bad track on the disc and there are enough great riffs for any metalhead. Robb Reiner's superb
and tasteful drumming really drives home the point and powers the band beautifully. 'Metal on Metal' and 'March
of The Crabs' should be metal classics if they aren't already. THIS is why I love metal.
I encourage those of you who haven't yet seen Anvil: The Story of Anvil to check that out. To show the kind of determination
and resiliency that Robb and Lips have shown in the face of extreme frustration is simply amazing. The film is funny, heartwarming
and sad. You can't help but root for these guys. I think it's safe to say most people don't show this kind of determination in
most things in their lives. These guys get knocked down time and time again and keep bouncing back. God bless them for it.
I only hope that after all those years of frustration, false starts and getting screwed they can finally enjoy some long
overdue success. If anyone has earned that then Robb and Lips surely have.

Free Music Review: Worth it for Metal on Metal and March of the Crabs alone!
Hit: 5 Stars
These guys are no joke. This album, as one reviewer described Anvil's live shows, kicks solid balls of awesomeness. Many of us discovered these guys through the Anvil documentary only to then discover that these guys really rock. When you put this cd into your stereo it comes alive. You don't get the full power of the actual music from the movie or your iPod. This is music meant to be cranked loud and with quality stereo sound. These guys are even more powerful than bands like Metallica that they inspired. March of the Crabs is a metal masterpiece- brilliant sound and beat. I saw them live at The House of Blues (Boston) in January and they held the entire crowd's attention throughout the entire show. Many of their greatest songs come from this album and in their show they feature several from here including Metal On Metal, March of the Crabs, Jackhammer, Mothra and 666. Lips made a point to stay for every single person who wanted an autograph or picture. How many rock stars will do that? My next Anvil cd will be to hear School Love loud!Free Music Review: Essential metal!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is by far Anvil's best album, really a groundbreaking release at the time that was sorely overlooked. The striking thing about Metal On Metal is the variety - they really cover a lot of different sub genres of metal. "Metal on Metal" is straightforward power metal/hard rock, "March of the Crabs" - thrash, "Mothra" and "Heat Sink" - NWOBHM, "666" - death, etc. The production is great, the musicianship is outstanding, and there is much variety in song structure - things are definitely not 'cookie cutter'. The lasting power of this album is seen in the live show, which when I saw them last month, featured 5 songs off of "Metal On Metal". "Jackhammer" remains on of my favorite Anvil songs and took on a whole new meaning when I heard Lips explain what the song is about (nothing to do with heavy machinery!).Free Music Review: A "true" metal classic
Hit: 5 Stars
Metal On Metal rocks from start to finish! A must have for anyone trying to round out their classic metal collection. Yeah, sure it sounds a bit dated, doesn't everything from the eighties? I actually dig that classic Gibson/Marshall sound that Lips achieved on this rager. Rob Reiner's drum work is exceptional,not because he's fast, but because he was all over his kit. He would throw tripletts and quads where most guys would just keep a steady beat, Stop Me would be a weak song if it weren't for his killer drumming. I was fortunate enough to see these guys in a small club on the Forged In Fire tour and they blew me away! Most of you reading this probably already owned this on vynal, but for the few who are trying to get to the "roots" of thrash/speed metal, this is a must have!!! Up go the hammers!Free Music Review: Metal on Metal

After watching "Anvil the Story of Anvil", I felt the need to go out a pick up an Anvil cd. I purchased "Metal on Metal" cause I remember the song from the movie, and it stuck in my head. I put this cd on and was blown away! The musicianship of Anvil is great! A few highlights are "Metal on Metal" and "666", but I really enjoyed the whole album a lot and went back to the record store and bought "Hard 'n' Heavy" and "This is Thirteen", the only other cds the store had in stock. I'm glad I watched the movie, cause I probably never would have discovered Anvil's music otherwise. Simply put "Metal on Metal" is a heavy metal masterpiece andn should be in any good music collection.
