David Benson - Purposes Of The Cross

1996

Well, David Benson certainly has Ozzys' vocal sound down to a T. The tunes sound like some early Sabbath.

Brutality - In Mourning

1996

Some pretty awesome Death Metal going on right here. Gruff coarse vocals bordering on the whole cookie monster thing, but not quite there.

Electric Wizard - Come My Fanatics

Wallow in it.

The Cows - Whorn

I missed this one when it came out. Which is odd because I bought each Cows release as they came out. Got 'em all. Pretty Good. Not their best. Sounds like The Cows. Not as chaotic and messed up as earlier stuff, but more of a refined chaotic and messed up. Awesome lyrics.

Nirvana - From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah

1996

I'm was/am big Nirvana fan and all, but maybe I've just heard all the songs too many times. There's really not that many songs. The songs on this album are compiled from a bunch of different shows over the years. I suppose I could go through and pick certain songs and performances on here that are better than others. You know, find the good ones. I believe this album came out to fulfill Nirvanas' contract with Geffen after Kurt Cobain died. The CD ends pretty strong with a couple rockers...maybe it's just the more poppy songs I don't have the patience for anymore. I've had this since it came out and very rarely put it on. There's better bootlegs out there.

Where to Start: That's a tricky one, Bleach is my favorite. Nevermind maybe the place to start for most, but I like In Utero better than that one.
