Free Music Notes for Amplified: A Decade of Reinventing the Cello
Free Music Review: A thorough blend of melody, harmony and dissonance
Hit: 5 Stars
Though I buy Apocalyptica for only about half of their songs, the one's I DO like are among my favorites of all time, and I very much appreciate the band's overall originality.
On this 'Best of' album there should be something for every Apoc. fan.
If you enjoy Apocalyptica's original sound, there's:
-Enter Sandman
-Master of Puppets
If you go for their more symphonic sound (as I do), there's:
-Harmageddon
-Nothing Else Matters
-Somewhere Around Nothing
-Farewell
-One
-Heat
-Cohka
-Kaamos
-Deathzone
And if you keep them around for the really hard stuff, there's:
-Harmageddon
-Refuse/Resist
-Betrayal
-Hall of the Mountain King
-Angel of Death
On top of the well-rounded and awesome main attraction there is the second disk with eight tracks (none are repeats from disk 1) that include vocals by various artists (sadly I'm not familiar with any of them, but since they're collaborating with Apoc I'm sure they're top-notch). These stray quite a bit from the band's roots but are nonetheless a blast.
Hope Vol.2 is by far my favorite.
Free Music Review: Sublimely Soothing.
Hit: 5 Stars
This is not your typical soothing music but it is soothing all the same - in its own way. The cello is a haunting instrument and Metallica can be haunting music but this group makes haunting wonderful. The whole CD is mysterious, intense, reflective and oozing with talent. I have to say that I was only recently introduced to Apocalyptica so I don't have the background to compare this CD of theirs to another. On its own though, it is a wonderful composition of class, style with a bit of metal thrown in. Not like anything you normally hear. Truly refreshing and amazing! These guys are very talented (and hot too).Free Music Review: Had to have it the music stuck with me!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
I watched vids on youtube and discovered the song Path feat - Sandra Nasic (lead singer of Guano Apes), and Bittersweet feat - Ville Valo (lead singer of H.I.M.). I was obssesed with Path and than Bittersweet got stuck in my head. After I got the Cd I've become obssesed with Hope feat - Matthias Sayer (lead singer of Farmer Boys). But all The songs are really great even Seemann though Till Lindemann (lead singer of Rammstein) isn't singing. But really check it out Apocalyptica are super great cellists if I had lots of mulla I'd pay to have them at my wedding with lots of other people of course!!!Free Music Review: Excellent!
Hit: 5 Stars
Apocalyptica is really a band that you must hear to believe. They are very talented musicians, and they reach all the depths and heights fully in their chosen form of expression. They can be as hard as any of the Heavy Metal bands, or as wistful and timeless as any classical piece I have heard. This album is perfect for my husband and I to enjoy together, because he likes music that is quite hard and aggressive, while I tend towards more emotional depth and classical/traditional forms. Apocalyptica is a fusion of classical and Heavy/Death metal, so it appeals to both of us very nicely.Free Music Review: These Boys Have Grown Up
Hit: 5 Stars
It has been 10 years since these boys decided to do a cover album of metallica tracks. Now they are making some of the most hardcore metal on cellos that I have ever heard. All of their orignal work just blows their cover work out of the water. Ever since Harmageddon, this band has outdone themselves with their work. Favorite tracks are Heat, Wie Weit, Life Burns, And Bittersweet. All of the versions here have vocals, but the instramental versions are the ones I fell in love with. This is just an excellent album, worth owning for all fans of this band. Get it Now!!!
