Roadrunner Records has put together a groundbreaking record to mark the label's 25th anniversary. This full-length release is a master class in hard rock/metal. Boasting 57 artists from 45 of Roadrunner's past and present bands, the album contains original tracks that are collaborations between numerous Roadrunner stars. Four central musicians were originally chosen to produce and write the songs: Joey Jordison (Slipknot), Dino Cazares (ex-Fear Factory/Brujeria), Robert Flynn (Machine Head), and Matthew Heafy (Trivium). These four musicians play on the songs they have written and have also assembled a unique team of artists to appear on each track. In order to cover as wide a spectrum as possible, no musician has played for more than one writer/producer and each song features a different vocalist. In addition to these stellar teams of musicians, there are also special additional tracks from ex-Roadrunner artist Josh Silver--Type O Negative's longtime producer/keyboardist. In the spirit of the project, Silver has included Roadrunner artists on his tracks as well--Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt appears on the Silver-written "Roads."

A Badass Album
This album is full of good songs even though there are a few s***ty songs as well. My favorite songs off this album are "The Dagger", "The End", "The Rich Man", "Roads", "I Don't Wanna Be (A Superhero)", "Army of the Sun", and "Enemy of the State". Do yourself a favor and check this album out. You won't be disappointed.

LIGHTNING FAST!
Cd came quicker than I imagined and came with fantastic quality. Even though this cd came out in 2005, it is one of the best albums I've heard for any metal fan! all the bands that came together to make this album happen is much appreciated. Hell Yeah Road runner records. Well played.

Best anniversary Album Ever!!!!
To me this is one the most amazing heavy metal albumsI own. The fact that musicians from different bands who had probably never played together,played together on brand new material and recorded there parts only one to two daysafter hearing the song for the first time.

Well worth it...
An amazing album, case was cracked but not sellers fault. Unopened brand new album they couldn't tell so can't blame them for that. I would buy from the seller again.
