Editorial Reviews

Have you noticed that an overabundance of hard rock bands of the early 21st century are comprised of sensitive, well, let's face it, rather wimpy gentleman? The loud and proud Tennessee quintet, Showdown, have certainly noticed, and their mission is to do something about it, as evidenced by their 2006 release, Temptation Come My Way. Combining the guitar harmonies of Iron Maiden, the crunchy riffs and vocals of Metallica (before they pulled the mascara/Napster/Some Kind of Monster triple blunder), and the melodic sensibilities of Stone Temple Pilots, Showdown doesn't sound like your average Headbangers Ball band. Instead, the group manages to be rocking and memorable at the same time, especially on such tracks as the album opening "Fanatics and Whores," "Six Feet Under," and "Forget My Name." Additionally, singer David Bunton should also be commended by not abusing the done-to-death screaming and hollering vocal shtick -- which just about every single hard rock/metal singer circa 2006 is utilizing.

Retrospect makes this album that much betterby bogwatter

May 06, 2009: This album has been out some time now. With their third album already released to the masses, you begin to appreciate this album even more by comparison. The initial reception of this, the band's second album, was one of shock as the band had swung for a much more melodic delivery than that of thier first album, "A Chorus of Obliteration". This is understandable, but if appreciated as a work unto itself the quality of this album becomes increasingly more evident. The Band went in a creative direction that they felt lead to follow rather than creating "The First Album, Part 2". By doing this, the ideas remained fresh and the album was phenominal because of it. I would reccomend this album to anyone who likes good tunes, metal or otherwise.
