Bottom Line: |
Burning Angel describes itself as the home of Punk Rock porn where you can find girls sporting the alternative look, goths, emos, metal chicks, many are heavily tattooed with multiple body piercings. The action covers the entire range from softcore solo posing through to lesbian, boy/girl action, threesomes and more. The star of the site is Joanna Angel, porn actress turned director and she herself features in 508 videos and 469 photo sets within the site.
The main browsing categories on the site are videos, DVDs, pics and girls. Selecting videos brings up all the scenes starting with the most recent, you can also select to view them by most viewed and highest rated. Each scene comes with a brief written description and there's also a trailer with every scene usually 1-2 minutes long to give you a good idea of the action. Most of the1080p scenes that I downloaded had a bit rate around 6000k although I have seen bit rates as high as 9000k. I mostly found myself downloading the format they call web hd which was 960 x 540 and 2000k and I was actually quite surprised how good these looked on my 24 inch monitor especially considering they were only around 350 MB for a 25 minute video compared to over 1 GB for the 1080p or 800 MB for the 720p.
Selecting Girls brings up the model index which can be sorted by most recent, most popular and alphabetically. There are 271 girls listed here in the model index however when I started browsing through the photo set pages I found a large number of girls who don't appear here in the model index. From what I can tell the girls listed in the model index are the ones who have videos; if a girl only has photo sets and no videos she doesn't appear in the model index so if you prefer photos as I do then you will need to go through the pages of photo sets otherwise you could miss out on something like another 130 girls.
If you select the photos option it brings up 41 pages of photo sets at 70 sets per page. It was going to the last pages with the oldest photo sets where I found a lot of my favourite models and photo sets on this site. Back in the early days of the site the models seemed to have more of an amateur look about them and the photo sets seemed a lot more creative with regards to outfits and backgrounds. A lot of the newer sets seem to have a more repetitive look about them often with the same white background.
Although I've never had a membership at Burning Angel before I get the impression the site used to be more of a community featuring people who are into the body art lifestyle. Many of the girls have an extensive biography on their model pages including what music, films, video games etc they are in to. There's a community section on the site that features a forum, blogs and an events listing and the girls used to actively participate in the site replying to user comments but I don't see a lot of activity going on these days. There's hardly any activity in the forum and the last blog post was 9 months ago.
Overall as a photo collector of solo models I got plenty out of the site for my money. My only complaint is the way I get shafted by their biller Trustcharge every time I use them and end up paying more than 50% more than the listed dollar price. Luckily I joined on a cheap special offer but with the threat of a recurring price of equal to nearly $48 dollars I was only ever going to stick around for the one month. |
