Great songs, But haven't we seen these before?

"All great songs, but these ALL have been released, not adding much value to your cd collection. I've seen this done before as well with the Matrix Soundtrack. But if you are new to metal, this is the cd to buy."

Not Exactly Aggro...

"I look at aggro music as a style of music that bands like Pantera, Helmet, and Biohazard use, and I really don't think it describes this current rap metal trend. But that is what this CD winds up being. There are far too many rappish bands and not enough actual aggro. The mixing of these songs is great, perfectly mastered, wonderful in actuality, for a compilation. Whoever put these bands together and called it "aggro" is a bonehead. How do the Bloodhound Gang show up? Come on. Production could be better.The songs are some of the best from each of the good bands. Helmet's "Exactly What You Wanted" is a classic aggro song, from the start to finish. Rammstein is a band I have just been getting into, and their crushing international hit single "Du Hast" is one of 1998's best. Elsewhere, Fear Factory's "Zero Signal" is a great, classic Fear Factory song. "Oasis" is probably my favorite Puya song, as is "Loco" with Coal Chamber. Other tracks I like on here include "Guilty" by Gravity Kills, "One Thing" by Nothingface, and "Liar" by Rollins Band. The actual rating of this CD would be higher, but bad outings by Bloodhound Gang, Type O Negative, and Carcass bring it down. There aren't many real aggro bands on here, except for Rollins Band, Helmet, and Rammstein, while the rest are mostly industrial. Overall decent, but I've seen this done before with The Matrix Soundtrack and The Hard and The Heavy Compilation. Still pretty decent. Also check out the soundtracks for Heavy Metal 2000 and Strangeland."
