Iced Earth: Horror Show

[NeXTLiFE]

"Horror Show" is, without doubt, THE most disappointing album in the last 5 years!!!...yeah, sure, it's conceptually cool...BUT it's BORE-fukken-ING!!. It's a toss up which will put me to sleep quicker...listening to to this drivel or skolling a bottle of rum. Damn shame after the sheer brilliance of EVERYTHING they'd done previously. L8rz Iced Earth, was nice knowin ya..."Something Wicked" was always gonna be hard to top, but THIS?...gawd!...[anyone wanna buy a cheap CD?]

I liked Horror Show a lot. It didn't seem as heartfelt as all their other albums but it was still good I think. Heres my rating on the songs:

Wolf: 4/5

Damian: 5/5

Jack: 4/5

Ghost of Freedom: 3/5

Im-Ho-Tep: 1/5 (the worst song on the album, I think)

Jeckyl & Hyde: 4/5

Dragon's Child: 4/5

Transylvania: 3/5

Frankenstein: 3/5 (but I still like it)

Dracula: 5/5

The Phantom Opera Ghost: 5/5

Horror Show is probably my favourite Iced Earth album. It's their most 'epic' to my ears.

A lot of the album sounds so similar, though...

Richard Christy's excellent drumming definitely made the sound different, but it's like he's doing straight sixteenths on the bass drum all the time, and it got old.

And one Barlow was enough. Hearing him multitracked 50 times was something I abhorred beyond belief.
