12th Avenue -
Moment In Time |
- Odey
"Just
over 16 minutes ago, I got shot
back into time… To a time
and place where jeans were tight,
guitar solos were big, but hair
were even bigger! Rock stars
wore spandex, and things were
considered to be hot rather
than cool..."

Beseech - Sunless
Days |
- Odey
"...I
was quite surprised with the
amount of cool and catchy riffs
on this album. To be honest,
I was expecting something way
more morbid and dark. Fresh
riffs complimented with just
a hint of synthesized sound
- not the slightest bit overwhelming
- a rich, full, almost symphonic
sound, breaking away from the
almost conventional “epic”
feel..."

Meshuggah - Catch
Thirty Three |
- Odey
"At first,
the only words I could think
of were words like, 'Why me?',
'How much longer?' and 'This
can’t be happening to
me!' Years of intensive therapy,
straight out the window!"

Mode of Obscurity
- A Tribute to Depeche Mode |
- Odey
"Mode
Of Obscurity is nothing
more than a tribute to Depeche
Mode, but it features
nothing less than only the best
artists South Africa has to
offer..."

Orgazmatracks
4 |
- Odey
"Orgazmatracks
4 is truly one kick-ass
piece of party material. I was
honoured enough to receive a
promotional copy of this double
disc “head-banger”
boasting with more that 30 tracks,
and DAMN! it rocks!"

Seether - Disclaimer
II |
- Odey
"The boys
are back! A remake of the very
successful 2003 release, Disclaimer,
aptly named Disclaimer
II. Only this time
it’s packed full of all
sorts of goodies. It includes
some previously unreleased songs
(only found on soundtracks and
singles) plus a bonus DVD. Piele!"

Seether - Karma
and Effect |
- Odey
"This
is such a complex album. It's
taken me close to two months
just to crack it's code. This
is Seether's
2nd full-length album, taking
into consideration that Disclaimer
II was, well…
Disclaimer Version 2..."

System of a Down
- Hypnotize |
- Odey
"Today,
exactly 6 months and 5 days
ago, System of a Down
hit us - square in the nuts
- with Mezmerize,
their forth full-length release.
Even with my self-proclaimed
“status” as one
of their most loyal fans ever,
the release of Hypnotise
came as quite a pleasant surprise!"

System of a Down
- Mezmerize |
- Odey
"In a
way, I’m almost too scared
to review this album, mainly
out of fear that I might not
do it the justice that it deserves.
Is it that good, you might be
asking? Well, mere words cannot
describe it…"

The Awakening
- Darker Than Silence |
- Odey
"
'Give credit where credit is
due’, is a phrase that I strongly
believe in. This album simply
blew me away! Not only is it
beautifully presented, superbly
produced and laid out, but it
also got rid of some of the
stigmas surrounding South African
music as a whole..."

The Narrow - Travellers
(Special Edition) |
- Odey
"Now this
is the kind of stuff that makes
me proud to be a South African.
The Narrow
has proven time and time again
that they are truly a force
to be reckoned with..."

The Slashdogs
- Spilled Blood Calls For Vengeance |
- Odey
"I had
absolutely no idea what to expect
when at first I heard of The
Slashdogs, but in all
honesty, these guys never disappointed
me once throughout this entire
album. It's pure, good old rock-n-roll
all the way, with distinctive
rhythm and blues influences
and insane, almost anarchistic-punk
style vocals..."

Woodstock Series
2 |
- Odey
"In the
end - what saved Woodstock
Series 2 was the unbelievable
amount of talent and originality
some of our S.A. bands possess
today. Even with tremendous
pressure from the outside world,
they have still managed to produce
something uniquely 'South African'..."
