    Amaranthe - Massive Addictive So this is where everybody can't stop talking about? Amaranthe, thé Danish-Swedish pop "metal" sensation of more recent times, is usually described as a power metal/metalcore hybrid – in reality however they are an Eurodance band with heavy guitars instead of club beats. By all accounts it has all the makings of an Eurodance band: big hooks, yelping high-pitched female vocals, pounding club beats, and vapid lyrics that are best not thought about. Why is this even classified as metal in the first place? Sure, there are heavy guitars and tough male vocals – but everything else has little (read: nothing) to do with metal, not even in its most populist form. 'Trinity' even starts off with an electronic beat that could have been culled from a Paradisio song. There are two male vocalists, of which only the clean singer is tolerable as he alternates seamlessly with the band's focal point Elize Ryd. Ryd certainly can sing, but it makes you wonder what she could do in an actual metal band that plays to her strengths instead of this meaningless drivel that reduces her to a marketing gimmick its prepubescent audience can fawn over. It still is a mystery what purpose the harsh male vocalist is supposed to serve, but there you got it. He's here, he sings. "Massive Addictive" sounds like the bastard offspring of Paradisio and Rammstein – and there's no reason why any self-respecting metal fan would want to subject him-herself to this, unless the equally reprehensible Semargl and Lacuna Coil are your favorite "metal" bands… This is an obvious and transparent cashgrab aimed at your loins instead of your heart.

...co do saksofonu to był to przypadek całkowity. Bo idąc coś zjeść do miasta napotkaliśmy kolesia który na ulicy grał na saksofonie. Zagadałem do niego żeby nagrał nam jakieś partie i zgodził się. Oczywiście nie miał pojęcia na co się porwał, do tego komunikacja nie była najlepsza, bo okazał się być obywatelem Ukrainy i język polski nie był dobry albo w ogóle go nie było...
