Review: MTV 2 Headbangers Ball Compilation
Various Artists
(Roadrunner)
The thing about compilations is that they kind of serve as nothing more than an appetizer for each band. If you dig the song on the album, the hope is that you’ll go out and buy the band’s full length. The first disc of this CD compilation is a collection of who’s hot in hard rock right now featuring the likes of Godsmack, Sevendust, Cold, Hatebreed, Slayer and Static-X. The second disc of this compilation is a who’s who of the underground featuring Cradle of Filth, Soilwork and In Flames.
