Thor — Into The Noise

Legendary rock warrior Thor is known for two things: his bodybuilding (which he's won plenty of trophies for) and his role as the lead singer of a heavy metal band. His newest musical endeavor, Into The Noise, is reason enough for him to perhaps stick to the bodybuilding. Opening track "Thor's Revenge" is a shredtacular introduction to the album, with a plethora of guitar solos, but the mediocre "Evil Twin" follows it. The only other strong track, "Berserker," is a three-minute guitar escapade (think "Eruption"), but the next eight metallic shout-fests are nothing special. Oddly, closing track "TLB" — a slow acoustic number — is the best song on the album. Thor has released plenty of solid records in the past. With Into The Noise, however, it raises the question: has Thor finally taken on some metal that's too heavy even for him to lift?
