- A thorough blend of melody, harmony and dissonance
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.

- Sublimely Soothing.
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). 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
- What can I say? AMAZING!
These guys are amazing. I wrote a review for "Cult", another album and that review definitely applies here too! Our family LOVES their music, all of it! Sean Myers (Sacramento, CA United States) - July 12, 2009

- After too long a wait...
...I finally purchased this album, and have enjoyed it both as ambient soundtrack at home and "driving music" on the road. - Hubby loved it
Bought this for my hubby and he said it totally rocks. He is amazed at how cellos can be so rockin'! Definitely a good purchase. |
