*"Stylus Magazine B+ [http://www.stylusmagazine.com/reviews/roadrunner-united/the-all-star-sessions.htm link]"Roadrunner United" was a project organized by the
heavy metal record label Roadrunner Records to celebrate its 25th anniversary. It culminated in an album released worldwide onOctober 11 ,2005 , entitled "The All-Star Sessions". Four "team captains" were chosen to lead 57 artists from 45 past and present Roadrunner bands, and produce and oversee the album's 18 tracks:Joey Jordison of Slipknot andMurderdolls ;Matt Heafy of Trivium;Dino Cazares ofAsesino andDivine Heresy and formerly ofBrujeria , andFear Factory ; andRobert Flynn of Machine Head and formerly ofVio-lence andForbidden . The unprecedented project was the brainchild of Roadrunner UK General ManagerMark Palmer and Roadrunner USA VP ofA&R Monte Conner . The album project was coordinated by Lora Richardson and was mixed byAndy Sneap . "The All-Star Sessions" spawned one single ("The End"). The DVD included with the CD purchase is a documentary of the "Making Of" the songs. It features the sessions of the four team captains making their songs.
