Free Music Notes for HELLYEAH
Free Music Review: R.I.P. Dime
Hit: 2 Stars
I have nothing but the upmost respect for Vinnie Paul. It eats me up that he chose this project as his comeback to music. I can't think of a musician that wouldn't have jumped at the chance to be in a band with him. (Zakk Wylde, Maynard James Keynan, hell even Matt Heafy are a few names that come to mind) I respect what Mudvanye does. They have a formula. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it works and it sells records. So why this collaboration? why now? I can't figure it out. Glen Tribot and (insert nothingface guitarist name here) are not even in Dimebag's shadow. Their riffing doesn't do Vin's playing any justice and it shows right off the bat. The only part of this album where I hear any real connection is when Vinnie is playing the snare and high hat in 4/4. Terrible waste of such an amazing talent. As for the vocals... some of the screaming works, nothing special, just kinda sounds like Mudvayne. But on the slower country influenced songs, I fight every urge to smash this cd into a million pieces.
Vinnie Paul, please find yourself musicians at your skill level and leave the amaeturs in your wake...
If you like Mudvayne and enjoyed Damageplan... you will still probably be disapointed with this cd.
If you are expecting Pantera, as some of these reviews will lead you to believe.. well go throw on Trendkill and feel privelaged that you were able to experience metal at its finest.
Free Music Review: If you can hear me now, there's one thing I've got to say (3.5)
Hit: 3 Stars
PREDICTION: Every single person who hates Hellyeah will use a play on words to mess up their name (i.e., Hellno). Huge fans will cuss a lot whilst describing how "f*cking badda*s" they are. I think I'm gonna end up being right on this one too.
I like every member of Hellyeah to a certain degree, Vinnie Paul and Chad Grey are the two that piqued my interest the most however. Chad has a great voice in my opinion, whether he's screaming or singing, he uses his voice tastefully most of the time. As good as he is though, Hellyeah plays as more of Mudvayne throw-aways (except with a lot better drumming). Three songs, Alcohaulin' Ass, Star, and Thank You are the only departures from the Mudvayne-esque riffage the rest of the CD sports. I like Mudvayne a lot, I don't care about other people's opinions on them, but I was hoping for a lot more with Chad being paired with some highly influential musicians.
Hellyeah is a great opening track with a huge, sing-along chorus that I ask you not to be singing to yourself after you hear it. You Wouldn't Know and Waging War are the first signs of weakness. The vocals aren't great, the lyrics aren't great, and even the music is lacking. Matter Of Time rebounds nicely with a reminder as to why Vinnie Paul is so highly regarded. Alcohaulin' Ass is the first huge departure for Chad and he proves himself tenfold. Defintely reminescent of days gone by. Goddamn is extremely cheesey but is catchy enough to warrant a few listens thanks to the chorus. In The Mood, the only instrumental track featured, is a perfect lead-in to one of the CDs best tracks, Star. Star is just one of those all-around great songs. Thank You has all the potential in the world to be overly corny and unwanted but ends up being another standout. Rotten To The Core, Nausea, and One Thing are all songs that can be passed over. None have a really redeeming quality to them and none are particularly noteworthy.
My favorite songs are Hellyeah, Matter Of Time, Alcohaulin' Ass, Star, and Thank You. Supergroups seem to popping up every couple minutes and for the most part I tend to just not pay attention to them. With a lineup as good as Hellyeah's though, it's hard not to get sucked into the hype. I do recommend this CD, just know what you're getting yourself into. Even if you despise Hellyeah and all they stand for, one thing can be agreed upon without question, seeing Vinnie Paul making music again is a great thing to see.
Free Music Review: HELLYEAH = FU*KING NASTY!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is pure fu*king sick!!!. Chad is an amazing vocalist, Greg just as amazing on the guitar. I have no following of Nothingface but if this is any indication to what they do, Im going to become real fimiliar! Then you have somebody that needs no introduction what so ever on drums. Vinny Paul, I dont even have to put anything by his name, Vin has proved his importance over many many years. This is the amaculate Metal band! You are covered on all corners..
CHEERS MOTHER FU**ERS!!!! GO GETCHA HELLYEAH!!!!
Free Music Review: F**KYEAH
Hit: 5 Stars
This album totally blew me away, members of Mudvayne, Nothingface, and no other than Vinnie Paul from Pantera/Damageplan!! How can you go wrong with a lineup like that. Every damn song on here is reminisent of Pantera's bad to the bone grooves and Mudvayne's vocal style.Alot of people get these high expectations about what an album is going to sound like before its released and what it should sound like when it finally is released. That really bothers me, accept the music for what it is for crying out loud. Pantera is over and Damageplan is Over, this isn't trying to be a Pantera record, this isn't trying to be a Mudvayne record, and this isn't trying to be a Nothingface record!! All the members of this group add their own chunk of creativity to make this band work, and in no way is it going to lead to the breakup of Mudvayne or Nothingface, I mean it was Mudvayne and Nothingface members who thought this great idea up, it took twelve times to convince VINCE ABBOTT to join, and i am so happy to hear him on the drums again i love it. This music is just fun to listen to when your drinkin or smokin, to me thats what music like this is made for, to have good times and good rockin tunes. I like every song on here for what it is and would like to personally thank everyone(especially Vinnie)for putting together such a fantastic assortment of metal minds CHEERS!!! Definently a must have for Pantera, Damageplan, Mudvayne, and Nothingface fans. This is the revolution of metal, so roll with it or get rolled over mother F**kers!!!

I listened to this much-hyped album with low expectations going in, and because of that, I wasn't disappointed. It's exactly what I expected it to be (based on the album's cover, the musicians involved, and the band's hysterically lame title)...a "southern-rock" (to put it tactfully) union that, much like "Down," fails to live up to its promise. While I enjoyed Mudvayne (to some extent) and Pantera (never heard "Nothingface"), I never felt that Mudvayne produced an album that was listenable all the way through (none were especially great). Unfortunately, this rearrangement doesn't fare much better. Chad's a decent enough singer, but this is expectedly boring, unoriginal music that doesn't serve him any better than Mudvayne's latest musical creations; in fact, "HELLYEAH" detracts from the "metal" image he previously displayed, especially during the "LD50" days. I'm not sure that I'll be able to listen to that album again without this Texan, "down-home boy" (again, putting it tactfully) image he's presenting to us now popping into my head (if this is the truth, it certainly hurts)...not that I'd be listening to it much anyway, because it's forgettable beyond track four. That's another story, though.
The bottom line with "HELLYEAH" is that we've heard it all a million times before, and there's very little here that will stay in our memory beyond a listen or two. For me..."NOTHANKS."
