Product Description
For the true connoisseurs of intelligent, virtuosic heavy metal, Annihilator stands alone. Lead by the shredding axe of Jeff Waters, the brand new release (appropriately entitled "Metal") stands as a testament to Annihilator's status in the metal world. An impressive all-star cast joins Waters and company on this metallic tour-de-force, including Alexi Laiho from Children Of Bodom, Corey Beaulieu from Trivium, Willie Adler from Lamb Of God, Jesper Stromblad from In Flames, Anders Bjorler from The Haunted, Michael Amott from Arch Enemy, Jeff Loomis from Nevermore and many more! Now this is METAL!

your basic annihilator album....thoroughly listenable but slightly average as have been their last few releases.
 Annihilator: Metal (2007) - 3,9 stars October 6, 2008
Olav M. Bjoernsen (Norway)
Solid release from these Canadian veterans.
With close to a dozen musical guests, and a slightly cliched album title, you'd might suspect that this album is a stinker. Thankfully, it isn't. There's nothing very original here though, musically it often sounds like a mix of Anthrax and Metallica circa 1987, but the songs are well written, well performed and catchy. Adding some progressive elements to some songs adds variation; although it may be off-putting for die-hard metal fans to hear thrash mixed with Rush-influenced passages.
Solid release with solid songs; worth checking out as long as you don't mind hearing music with clear and distinct influences noticeable here and there.

I've been a fan of Annihilator since '89 and it's rare that Jeff Waters disappoints. While this isn't the one-two punch of back-to-back opuses Carnival Diablos and Waking The Fury, Metal kicks with a fury that is almost non-existant in today's metallic world. Waters has assembled a virtual who's who of heavy metal guest artists for this release, and from that point on, it's heads-down, pedal-to-the-metal THRASH, bay-bee! You either come along for the ride, or get steamrollered over, it's that simple, punk!
I could use a whole bunch of superlatives to describe the songs herein, and wax poetic over the thrill of hearing such rippin' solos by Jeff's guests, but I sorta doubt you wanna read all that. Suffice to say, this is one solid album from start to finish. If I HAD to give Metal less than stellar marks, I'd have to point out the glaring Black Sabbath opening riff rip-off of "Detonation" (not to worry, Jeff veers away from that soon enough so that he can't be unfairly accused of stealing) and the rock, rather than metallic thrash, of "Couple Suicide"; it really does take some getting used to hearing that song. But honestly, that's about the only blunders on an otherwise nigh-to-perfect disc. And if that's all there is, then that's pretty d**n good to me! Go ahead, pick up this album, and be glad you did!
Great Old School Metal with a flare for the Now! February 15, 2008

This is an awesome album from front to back. Waters does not disappoint and definitely delivers the goods on this one. If you are a fan of classic guitar driven heavy metal then this album should be at the top of your list. I've listened about six times through now. I took it out of my player because there are always other CDs screaming for attention. I had to put it back in this morning. Yes, it's a good album that begs for more playing. The highlights for me thus far are tracks 1, 3, 7* and 8. I starred track 7 because I often find myself starting it again to get some more when it's near finished playing. All in all a great album though and highly recommended if you like Annihilator at all, or if you regularly listen to music by classic metal guitar heroes such as Zakk, KK Downing, Glenn Tipton, Adrian Smith, Dave Murray, Mustaine... to name but a few...
