Ego Likeness - The Order of the Reptile

Genre: Industrial/Darkwave
Vocals: Female
Year: 2007
Quality: MP3@128

The correct title is, "The Order of the Reptile". I didn't notice until after uploading that mine are tagged as, "Order of the Reptile". Probably not a big deal for most people, but if you're a perfectionist in these things - be sure to fix it after download. Enjoy!

Ego Likeness - Water to the Dead

Genre: Industrial/Darkwave
Vocals: Female
Year: 2004
Quality: MP3@128

Haven't actually listened to all of this one yet, but even just the last two tracks are worth the download. The ballad "Wolves" which is not the same style as most of the disc - but instead a piano and voice song is simply stunning. Quality is the best that I could do, if you like it enough to want more - I'm sure it worth your investment in the actual CD.

Alright

Rather than trying to fix all of the dead links, just be sure to comment if you want something that doesn't currently have a working link. Don't be afraid to do it, don't be shy! It's just a lot easier this way. Thanks everyone!

Sorry, all

I've been having computer problems, which is why there's been no updates recently. Don't know when I'll be able to update more, but hopefully I'll at least be able to find something pretty soon. I'll keep you all posted.

Thanks for reading,

Perfect! Is there really any other way to describe this album? It's just absolutely awesome. The blissful melodies and gorgeous voice of Miki Berenyi just blend perfectly to create the best Lush album, and one of the best albums ever created.

Opeth - Watershed

Includes DVD bonus tracks!

Genre: Progressive Death Metal
Vocals: Male growls & clean
Quality: Album - MP3@192, Bonus tracks - MP3@320
Rating: 9/10, Bonus tracks - 6/10

Spectacular release from Opeth! Much better than Ghost Reveries, and absolutely one of their best albums. The bonus tracks are unspectacular, none of them being particularly interesting, which is why I've given them a separate rating - but the album itself is awesome, and that's what really counts. I don't know who to recommend this too, Opeth is a pretty unusual band and I really don't know of anyone else that sounds similar.

Lez Zeppelin - Self-Titled

Genre: Hard Rock
Vocals: Female
Quality: MP3@320
Rating: 7/10

An all female Led Zeppelin tribute band. The covers certainly do justice to the original versions but once the novelty of having Zeppelin with female vocals wore off, I really wasn't inclined to listen to them instead of the original versions. Still, it's a better disc than many cover albums and, with nice versions of Rock and Roll and Kashmir it's worth a listen for fans of Led Zeppelin and female fronted rock/metal, but, at least for me, it didn't impress enough to become favored over the classic original songs. Also, the lack of Stairway to Heaven is disappointing and the collection omits quite a few of their most popular songs. The track list is as follows: Whole Lotta Love, The Ocean, On The Rocks, Sing I've Been Loving You, Rock and Roll, Winter Sun, Communication Breakdown, and Kashmir. Obviously, this one is for the Led Zeppelin fans.

Nightsky Bequest - Keep The Lonely Trees

Genre: Gothic / Doom Metal
Vocals: Mostly female, some male
Quality: MP3@192
Rating: 7.5/10

Interesting album. Although it's classified as metal, there's a lot of lighter acoustic parts as well. There's a few pretty average songs on here, but enough very good ones to make it worth a listen. This one's hard to do recommendations for, but I'd say for fans of Opeth and Draconian.

Amberian Dawn - River of Tuoni

Genre: Power Metal
Vocals: Female (Operatic)
Quality: MP3@320
Rating: 8/10

Another female fronted metal band with operatic vocals reminiscent of the first three albums of Nightwish. Somewhat derivative, but great vocals and solid instrumental work bring it above many of the other Nightwish style bands. Recommended for fans of Nightwish, Epica, and After Forever.
