Customer Reviews

The future of Heavy Metal.
Black Tide are really starting to make a name for themselves in Heavy Metal. A combination of Metallica meets Motley Crue, Black Tide might not be selling any of the Multiplatinum albums yet, because radio format hasn't changed yet. I believe Black Tide will be huge very soon, they just have to write that killer song, their version of Metallica's "Enter Sandman", or their version of Motley Crue's " Dr. Feelgood".I'm waiting to see what will be their next move.

I tried...I really did
I bought this album the day it hit stores, because I thought that shockwave was an interesting song and wanted to see what these kids had. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as I expected. Granted, they're young and have a ton of time to mature musically, but I just didn't feel as drawn the the album as I thought I'd be. I will listen to anything from Alternative to country, to death metal, to power metal. However, I just couldn't get into it. I'll still be buying their next one simply because they seem promising, but unfortunately, this one didn't meet my expectations. Lastly, please don't compare them to Metallica, they are nowhere near Metallica, at least yet.

New Blood!
Black Tide is a a young band with young musicians coming from USA and with a high potential. They play straightforward heavy metal, they don't go for symphonic mumbo-jumbo, sugar-coated keyboards or anything like it. The fact they have a cover of 'Hit The Light' (Metallica) is a hint of what the band wants: to take the path of olden glory of USA 80's metal and bring it to the new century. I expect a lot from them in the future.
