Free Music Notes for The Dethalbum (Deluxe Edition) (2CD)
Free Music Review: A brutally fun listen!
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes my review is late but I figured I'd give my 2 cents.....Brendon Small the creator and main force behind Dethklok and most of the instruments for that matter shows on this just how competent a musician he is....Dethalbum all the way though is an interesting and fun listen. Hanving hired legendary drummer Gene Hoglan(Dark Angel, Death, Strapping Young Lad..) to play the role of Pickles shows how motivated Brendon was to make Dethklok a real thing..and for the most part the musicianship is quite superb...with overly catchy songs like "Thunderhorse" this album just catches your ears and keeps them at bay for the entire 71 minutes of this 2 cd set....it is however a shame that it was at 1st and to this day so hard to get this deluxe edition without paying an insane amount of money....because the 2nd disc has a few Dethklok hits that shouldn't have been left out of the reach of some fans that coudn't obtain a deluxe copy...."Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle" being one of these songs....the 2nd disc also includes a guitar lesson from Skwisgaar and the music video for "Bloodrocuted" which is mentioned in an episode but new to the ears....new songs never heard in the show are also on the album like "The Lost Vikings" and "Face Fisted"....all in all fans of the show will not be disappointed Dethklok is a real touring band and with this album the highest charting death metal album of all time shows Brednon and Dethklok are a force to be taken seriosuly within the metal universe....a very fun and very approachable album that 2 years later I still enjoy every bit as much as the day I obtained it....masterpiece. P.S. I'm ready for Dethalbum II it's gonna slay this even.Free Music Review: METAL!!!!!!

Dethklok could perhaps be the ultimate metal band of all time. Brendon Small, creator of such TV shows as "Home Movies", has really outdone himself with the first season of "Metalocalypse" and this Dethklok CD, where he plays all of the instruments (excluding drums by Strapping Young Lad's Gene Hoglan) and does all of the vocals himself, a truly brutal one-man band.
"The Dethalbum" is a prime example of metal at its best. Having such epic jams as "Murmaider", "Go Into The Water", and "Thunderhorse" (which appeared in the game "Guitar Hero II" for PS2 and Xbox 360), while also including the louad, heavy, head-banging tunes in songs such as "Awaken", "Better Metal Snake", and "Hatredcopter".
This Deluxe Edition 2-Disk set is great for fans of the show, including sound bites and other Dethklok songs that appeared in the show, such as "Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle" and "Hatredy". This also comes with the rockin' music video for "Bloodrecuted".
I haven't heard an album this good since Arch Enemy's "Doomsday Machine". I highly recommend this album for fans of the show or fans of metal in general.

Hello Dethklok fans, this is an illusive album is it not? Not even released for a whole week and no where to be found, in stores or online. I myself do not own a copy of it. What I do have is a burnt copy that a friend made for me, I've been listening to it for the last 2 days and its awesome. But I do plan on buying the Deluxe edition as soon as its available again, the burnt disc is just to hold me over til then. I spoke to a guy at FYE who told me they should get some copies of it Tuesday, hopefully. The manager there also told me the limited quantity wasn't because there were so little made but because so few were ordered. No one thought this album would do so well so they didn't order that many, think about it how often do metal albums sell out they way this one did? I've never heard of it in my life. So I think I can say with confidence that if we wait a while there should be more on the way. I mean when it all comes down to it these people want our money, so why not make more of the edition people want when its in such high demand?Free Music Review: Better than most real bands!
Hit: 5 Stars
For an album from a group of cartoon musicians, this thing succeeds where many metal albums fail. It's almost sad that something that's best described as Spinal Tap meets Slayer, does a better job with metal than some actual metal bands. This album rocks hard. The music ranges from just in your face brutal to melodic and really cranks up the speed on some songs. "Go Into The Water", "Thunderhorse", and "Dethharmonic" showcase the best of what this album has to offer, but no song really disappoints. And the extra songs on this Deluxe Edition actually make it worth picking up. Alot of musicians like to just slap an extra CD in and call it "Special" or "Deluxe". Not the case here, the songs on disc 2 live up to and in the case of "Blood Ocean" possibly surpass the material on the disc 1. Yeah, maybe they could have just put all the songs on the album so those who can't find the Deluxe Edition don't feel they're missing out. But since this review is about the Deluxe Edition, it's a moot point. If you like metal, add this to your collection.Free Music Review: Great Metal Album from a Great Show

The Deluxe Edition of this album is the one to have. It includes the Video for Bloodrocuted and Episode one of season two. The Deluxe Edition is hard to come by new, only a handful of large retailers still have a copy, but some smaller independant stores may have it, so look into that. The extra CD is worth it for the video and for the extra 7 tracks.
This album is based on the Adult Swim, Brandon Small Written Metalocalypse series, which all of these songs have been featured on. Brandon Small plays all instruments except drums and does the lead vocals, an impressive accomplishment because this album is put together better than most metal/deathmetal albums with larger budgets, "known" produces, and big named bands. Overall, highlights for me are Awaken, Briefcase full of Girls, and Birthday Deathday. It is hard to believe that this tounge and cheek mockary/tribute of metal bands that is so visually gorey (not for small kids) is so good. I highly recommend this album to all fans of things that are brutal and metal.
