~~Voivod~~!!I'm impressed. one day after hearing 'Rebel Robot' and expecting to wait a week or so for my mail to be delivered, I find a package waiting for this Canuck this morning. the promo pic included is cool! the members look genuinely happy to be together, its nice to see photos without big rockstar ego poses and just having fun instead. my favorite song of the 3 is Rebel Robot. it has the stangest time signature of the three as the other two are more straight ahead rock beats. my favorite 'Vod stuff is with lots of dynamics and tempo changes, I am keeping in mind these are the promo songs and may be the most radio-friendly (if that even applies to Voivod) on the album. it is still VERY COOL to receive this package. thanx to one of best bands ever!

This sampler CD reminds me of the first time I drank good tequila. After my first couple of shots, I thought, "this is pretty good, but I don't get what the big deal is!" It went down way too easy and was way too subtle for me to appreciate it. Then 7 shots later, I got it! Or should I say, it got me! That's what this CD is doing right about now. After the first listen, I thought it was nice, but I wanted a little more from them. And now after listening to it several times over and over, I'm getting it. I think Rebel Robot absolutely rocks. Yeah, they are all straight forward rockers, but very cool. Complete with Snakehooks. Understanding that record companies have to make money in order for the band to make money, I understand why certain songs are made singles over ones that I would think are better. For this reason, I think we have reason to believe that the remaining 10 songs will give us a little more of what we all expect......and that's the unexpected.As for me, my favorite track is Rebel Robot on the sampler. Good, well written, strong song IMO. Can't wait for more.
