	Collection »rank: 4237 by: Jason Becker : :Gripping virtuoso guitar licks and a glimpse at history as it was being made are the meat and potatoes of Jason Becker's 2008 album, Collection. Jason Becker still has a strong desire to compose, despite paralysis from Lou Gherig's disease, and Collection CD not only contains some of Jason's favorite moments from his Shrapnel and David Lee Roth recordings, it also features three new Becker compositions, each as impressive as anything he has recorded in the past. Jason has enlisted ...

Considered by all band members to be their strongest album in the seventeen years of their existence, Vertebrae's sound, songs, seasoned guitar tone and time-travelling solos and overall atmosphere marks a crowning achievement for ...
	We Are Not Alone »rank: 3891 by: Breaking Benjamin : :All sharp hooks and hefty beats, We Are Not Alone starts off with the Middle Eastern melody of the roaring lead single 'So Cold,' a riff-heavy track that showcases the fretwork of guitarist Aaron Fink, an expressive guitarist with a flair for both color and crunch. Employing a palette of quirky pedal effects, distorted textures and throttled power chords, he amplifies the emotion in each song, be it the confrontational rage in 'Believe' or the sweeping emotional plea of 'Break ...		The Better Life »rank: 1466 by: 3 Doors Down : :The Mississippi-based quartet 3 Doors Down has only one thing that sets them apart from other hard rock bands: lead vocalist Brad Arnold is also the drummer. The group shops the sounds of Pearl Jam and the Goo Goo Dolls, pointing at what they like, picking it off the shelf, and throwing it into the stew. While the music on The Better Life, their debut, sounds overall both competent and confident, the songs themselves are equally uninspired and clichéd. For example, ...
	Happy in Galoshes »rank: 751 by: Scott Weiland : :As the front man for Stone Temple Pilots, Weiland has remained a dominant force in rock music. Now with his 2nd solo release he proves that his music and songwriting is as potent and powerful as ever.

Thank You »rank: 2479 by: Stone Temple Pilots : :From their arrival in 1992 with the 8x-platinum 'C0RE,' Stone Temple Pilots have consistently been among the forefront of modern rock ‘n’ roll artists. With each album, the California-based quartet - Scott Weiland, Dean DeLeo, Robert DeLeo, and Eric Kretz - has pursued their own unique musical vision, an inspired sonic approach merging metallic riffs and baroque pop melodies with a punk-fuelled energy and a gift for psychedelic experimentation. As a result, Stone Temple Pilots have sold more than 20 ...
	Cocky »rank: 1580 by: Kid Rock : :Detroit-bred rocker/rapper Kid Rock has reason to be 'cocky,' as 1998's multiplatinum Devil Without a Cause established the multifaceted artist with the Southern rock influences as a generally likable braggart able to back up his boasts musically. Rock's Twisted Brown Trucker backup band also spawned a successful solo career for DJ Uncle Kracker, who wrote songs for--but whose turntables aren't on--Cocky. With a little help from fab friends, including actor David Spade, and musicians Sheryl Crow and Snoop Dogg, Cocky covers ...
