If you are looking for some different music to listen to, I would strongly suggest the album put out in 2003, by Nine Days. This is the band that brought you “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)” back in 2001, and they’ve continued making music since then, even though …

—¦And Justice For All, the title track of Metallica’s fourth record, is I believe the second longest song they have (The Outlaw Torn being the first) as the song is 9:47 in track length. With a length like this it isn’t unreasonable to be weary of listening to the …

This is Pantera’s second album, the title comes from the movie The Exorcist. Released in 1992 and produced by Terry Date again, this album is far more aggressive than the last, tighter, darker, faster, and I don’t think it could have been much heavier. Mouth for war opens the …
