... be different. Their shtick is intertwining carnival melodies and other supposedly unique and ingenious quirks to create what is essentially watered down nu-metal.

Revolutions Per Minute (Fat Wreck Chords). Review by Daniel Mitchell.
... , which often happens in the "hardcore" genre. Rise Against can play fast, melodic hardcore ("Black Masks & Gasoline"), or they can slow things down and deliver powerful rock songs ("Like the Angel").

THESE 5 DOWN THESE 5 DOWN Absolute If Korn and Fear Factory had a child, and the Deftones were the kid's uncle, and the kid went to church every Sunday, it would be this CD. Confusing? It's not, really. The singer sounds like the guy from Korn, and the album is filled with brooding bass lines, heavier ...

... , ending with Robert's famous last words, "I must fight this sickness, find a cure." As the remnants of feedback, distortion, and tape loops wind down, Robert says to the crowd "See you in seven years."

One of the most heavily-hyped movies of the summer finally hits the big screen. But does this story of three men and a little horse deserve the Oscar buzz? Our man at the track, Steve Stav, places his wager.
... (convincingly played by real-life ace jockey Gary Stevens, in his film debut) a longtime friend of Pollard's, comes to the rescue when the chips are down.

... sensual groove rhythms that keep the whole edifice from blowing apart (can anyone say Hellacopters?). Not so, friends, in the case of The Bell Rays.
