Stabbing Westward "Stabbing Westward"
SW's 4th release is by far their most interesting, though it may disappoint some of their older fans.  In their latest installment, SW leans a bit away from their previous hard edge industrial sound and heads to more acoustic and melodic areas.  It seemed to me that they were reaching for this with tracks like "Waking up beside you" on Darkest Days, but weren't quite able to get there.  Well now they found what they were reaching for.  As an enormous fan of SW, I was pleasantly suprised by their latest album and I give it an enthusiastic thumbs up.

Hmm
This isn't a pan, just a beef.  Is it just me, or does everything Rob Zombie do sound the same?  Go with me on this..  Take all Robs solo stuff, and the White Zombie albums and mix them all together.  No real noticeable difference right?  Don't get me wrong, I like both but its starting to get a little repetitious...  C'mon Rob, knock our socks off!
