CORROSION OF CONFORMITY
"America's Volume Dealer"
(Koch; 2000)
Reviewed by Kate Smith
Corrosion of Conformity have finally returned with the release of this long-awaited album! C.O.C. have transcended from severe metal to more of a hard rock genre and still maintain a huge following of fans. Apparently, this band can only get better with age.
"Congratulations Song" is a heavy tune that leads in with screaming guitars and a crunching rhythm section that will have you banging your head throughout the whole song. "Stare Too Long" is a classic piece with a blues undertone and by far one of my favorites. You'll need to be cruising down a deserted highway somewhere listening to this one. "Who's Got the Fire" is another heavy one that you would hear out on the streets in New Orleans. With energetic rhythms it shows that Pepper Keenan has one of the best voices in hard rock.
C.O.C. is an amazing band that manages to come out with something new on every album and this one contains some of their finest moments.

Rating Guide:
A classic. This record will kick your ass.
Killer. Not a classic but it will rock your world.
So-so. You've heard better.
Pretty bad. Might make a nice coaster.
Self explanatory. Just the sight of the cover makes you wanna hurl.
