This is the first studio album from Oasis since bad diagnosis in 1984. While no new Oasis album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1984 tour in Europe. When you buy a Oasis album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Oh yes, this album gets Array out of Array
If this be the last time is a song to enjoy for years to come. I wonder why is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. In Hold me it becomes nowhere more obvious that Oasis has yet to define own style. Oasis is just simply stunning. I can’t stop humming along Sirocco. Vocals of Oasis in Who knows really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. loved and lost is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after OASIS have ended. True love is one of these floating songs.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Eskorbuto energies, virtually a rebirth. IF YOU LIKE ALL Eskorbuto’S SONG GO FOR IT! I am not a real Rock: Punk-Rock music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Jodiendolo todo (PRIMERA MAKETA)’ really is amazing. This is my first Eskorbuto Album and i must say i am blown away.
Only one song from Jodiendolo todo (PRIMERA MAKETA) named escupe a las banderas really got me. This song stands out greatly from the others. oh no policia en accion is the albums biggest surprise. mierda, mierda, mierda. was the first single release from the album Jodiendolo todo (PRIMERA MAKETA). As always, Eskorbuto’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. In mucha policia, poca diversion it becomes nowhere more obvious that Eskorbuto has yet to define own style. ratas rabiosas marked the continuation of Eskorbuto in style evolution. la increible vida de un ser vulgar is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. This is probably my favorite song on the album. I can’t stop humming along mi degeneracion. enterrado vivo defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Jodiendolo todo (PRIMERA MAKETA) is os enganan. e.t.a. (censurada) gives good insight into the truths. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time.

This is one of the best Cd’s ANTISOCIAL has dropped to date. On Battle Scarred Skinheads album, ANTISOCIAL have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. While no new ANTISOCIAL album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1984 tour in North America. IF you love ANTISOCIAL, ‘Battle Scarred Skinheads’ Mp3’s is the best!
Let’s Have Some Fun is astounding. Backstreet Boys is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Battle Scarred Skinheads. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. New Punks (3:15) - awsome. ANTISOCIAL offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. Battle Scarred Skinheads is one of the best records ever. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Official Hooligan, which shows, blatantly, how much ANTISOCIAL has evolved as a singer. Sewer Rat is a very catchy tune. What Have We Got (cover) one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Bollocks is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything ANTISOCIAL released so far. Can’t Even Dream is one of the coolest songs ANTISOCIAL has ever recorded. This song stands out greatly from the others. New Punks (Demo) motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. Once you hear Union Jack, you will listen to it over and over. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Live And Let Live. I find myself hearing bits of Brick Wall here and there throughout my waking hours.

On the Belgium charts, superstar Cock Sparrer’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. Cock Sparrer had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. It has been sixteen years Cock Sparrer’ last studio CD, “Runnin’ Riot in ‘84″ which won Array Emmy� Awards and was nominated for album of the year. Exciting stuff.
Is Anybody There? still maintains something of a specific flourish. Price Too High to Pay is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Think Again - a classic song. Don’t Say a Word is really the reason why I recommend buying Runnin’ Riot in ‘84. The Sun Says is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. They Mean Murderer rocked my world when I popped it into my car stereo. Closedown is outstanding work of Cock Sparrer. This track is a great song that still never gets old. Strong, powerful vocals of Cock Sparrer in Runnin’ Riot [live] are very impressive.

Best Before isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. Best Before is an amazing album, racked with beauty.This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Crass. Unappreciated gift to Rock: Punk-Rock
Crass is one of artists that allow his songs like Major General Despair to stand on their own and be heard. I was truly moved when I heard Angela Rippon. Reality Asylum - A catchy, upbeat tune. |titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in Best Before. This track is a killer, it just grabs you instantly. Nagasaki Nightmare is excellent song though, very addictive. Big A, Little A - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. Rival Tribal Rebel Revel is a very catchy tune. Sheep Farming In The Falklands (Flexi) good vocals. How Does It Feel is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. Some call The Immortal Death from Best Before as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Crass has created something that grabs you by the heart and gets you moving. Sheep Farming In The Falklands - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Crass. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. Song You’re Already Dead is actually a funny song. Nagasaki Is Yesterday’s Dog-End is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Don’t Get Caught is the funkiest number on the album. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Best Before is Do They Owe Us A Living (Last Gig - Miners’ Benefit).

Self-described as Rock: Punk-Rock with lots of words, Minutemen comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. While no new Minutemen album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1984 tour in Asia. ‘Double Nickels on the Dime’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. This is one of Minutemen best albums
D.’s Car Jam/Anxious Mo-Fo - To me, this is the best song on the Double Nickels on the Dime. Theatre Is the Life of You is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Minutemen breathes new life into the music in Viet Nam. Nice and different song. There is gorgeous mix of music in It’s Expected I’m Gone. I think #1 Hit Song is the best song Minutemen has ever done. This song stands out greatly from the others. Simple and heartfelt closing track Do You Want New Wave or Do You Want the Truth? closes Double Nickels on the Dime on a high note. Don’t Look Now to me is the best you can get from Minutemen. Shit from an Old Notebook is absolutely incredible. Nature Without Man has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Minutemen. In Political Song for Michael Jackson to Sing full palet of sound is used by Minutemen to accentuate the presentation. Maybe Partying Will Help great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Toadies is nothing but pure genius. Retreat can be hardly overrated by any means; this is what Minutemen is all about. Big Foist is one of the best records ever. Vocals of Minutemen in God Bows to Math really capture me and are set perfectly to the rhythm. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Take 5, D. is simple, dignified and effective, Minutemen refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. My Heart and the Real World - For me, this is the best of the album. History Lesson, Pt. 2 is a fine track on any terms. You Need the Glory is one of the coolest songs Minutemen has ever recorded. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. West Germany is a strong cut, one of many. Politics of Time - This one has a powerful beat and a good melody. Some of the arrangements found on Double Nickels on the Dime are surprisingly edgy. The sound in Please Don’t Be Gentle With Me is really warm and Minutemen’s signature voice is still very much present. Nothing Indeed is perfect. No Exchange is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Double Nickels on the Dime have ended. What sets There Ain’t Shit on T.V. Tonight apart is Minutemen’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. In Spillage you won’t find any flashy solos. Jesus and Tequila is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is June 16th because the melody in the chorus is so good. Storm in My House - This is a very lively song. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Doctor Wu - Minutemen first major hit. The song World According to Nouns ending is my favorite… so catchy! Listening to Love Dance you can hear that Minutemen has still amazing chemistry with band members. Three Car Jam is another strong production from Minutemen.

When you buy a Minutemen album, you know exactly what you’re getting! It’s natural for Minutemen to take a stab at ‘Joe McCarthy’s Ghost’ considering her long-professed love for Ultra Dolphins. Since Minutemen last CD (Sound Factory) on Sparrow Records back in 1984, I have felt a massive void in my life. If you love Minutemen as much as I do, then Minutemen Sound Factory is the CD for you!
The Big Foist gets you up and jumping. Sound Factory couldn’t start better than with the up up-beat title track The Only Minority. In Life As A Rehearsal full palet of sound is used by Minutemen to accentuate the presentation. Still going through Sound Factory and coming to appreciate No Exchange more and more with every listen. The Maze - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love is exquisite work of Minutemen. Party With Me Punker is astounding. Strong, powerful vocals of Minutemen in Anxious Mo-Fo are very impressive. Retreat is a good listen every once in a while. The Red & The Black is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Green River is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. This track is full of harmonies and gets Sound Factory off to a relaxing start. The song The Glory Of Man ending is my favorite… so catchy! Static (0:44) - awsome. Search as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Two Beads At The End is beautiful, yet underrated track. Little Man With A Gun In His H is simply astounding. History Lesson Part 2 one of the best in my collection.

On the Jamaica charts, superstar The Oppressed’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. There is no doubt that The Oppressed has talent. There were many famous songs of The Oppressed available. Cool, but I like their other actual stuff better like Dead and Buried and Fatal Blow.
This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. I like the idea behind Urban Soldiers. Ultra Violence is a very good song maybe surprisingly better than you at first might’ve imagined. The Oppressed is hitting on all cylinders in Run From You. Overall a nice softer song. Leave Me Alone is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Nice and different song. In Government the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. It Ain’t Right motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. We’re The Oppressed is such a excellent and optimistic song that things can get just better. Angels With Dirty Faces is worth the money. In Bad Man The Oppressed spins a tale you want to hear to the end. A.C.A.B. is possibly the best song The Oppressed has come up. In White Flag The Oppressed is at his best. Fatal Blow is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Excellent vocals and musical performances. You can find feelings on this piece of art. In Local Constabulary full palet of sound is used by The Oppressed to accentuate the presentation.

Samhain’s debut, ‘Initium’, does not fit easily into one genre. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Samhain’s album Initium falls to No. 2 with 612,000, a sales slide of 51%. It’s natural for Samhain to take a stab at ‘InitiumSamhain’ considering her long-professed love for B.B. King. I love this album so much, i’ve been crazy about Samhain ever.
Black Dream - My least favorite song on this album. The song All Murder, All Guts, All Fun ending is my favorite… so catchy! Macabre is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named is a striking and quite long song. Horror Biz (2:41) a good melody. I like the idea behind The Shift. The Howl is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. If you are a Samhain fan, you will love Archangel.

‘On you’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Smack’s debut, ‘On you’, does not fit easily into one genre. IF YOU LIKE ALL Smack’S SONG GO FOR IT! Such great and happy songs.
Run rabbit run is the albums lead single as well as biggest hit. Through the class the elegant and beautiful song on the album is hard to describe. Skin alley is one of the coolest songs Smack has ever recorded. |titile| is quite refreshing and sets the tone for what is going on in On you. Completely alone is the more seemingly obscure song on On you that bear up best to repeated listening. Some fun - This one is lively and fun. Ten foot cell is a bit of a show-tune. Primitive is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Get On you and turn on Cemetary walls if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Criminal is a medium tempo tune. I like No peace on earth because it’s extremely catchy and has awesome drumming. Criminal (single edit) is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Opening track Little cunt (single edit) shows the best of Smack. Walking on the wire great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.Smack sings Blank in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time.

When you buy a YOUTH BRIGADE album, you know exactly what you’re getting! This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by YOUTH BRIGADE. Mila Sparrow has compared writing for YOUTH BRIGADE’s new album to that on ‘Sink With Kalifornija’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
Modest Proposal actually sounds so joyous, that you can practically see a smile on YOUTH BRIGADE’s face. Man In Blue (Part 1) is a song to savor, to listen to from every angle. Sound And Fury as a highlight of Sink With Kalifornija contains a ton of gorgeous melodies. Fight To Unite pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. YOUTH BRIGADE has astounded me with this amazing track. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Live Life is perfect. YOUTH BRIGADE is hitting on all cylinders in What Are You Fighting For. Song Did You Wanna Die is actually a funny song. You Don’t Understand is one of these floating songs. The Circle is a fine track on any terms. Opening track Duke Of Earl shows the best of YOUTH BRIGADE. What Will The Revolution Chang (5:04) a good melody. What Price Happiness? - For me, this is the best of the album. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect. One listen to the sheer beauty of Who Can You Believe In? was all I needed. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists.

Jugoslavia Punk 78-81 CS carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Lead single “Narodna pjesma (Paraf)” and “Moj je otac bio u ratu (Prljavo Kazaliste)” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Since Rock - Various Artists last CD (Jugoslavia Punk 78-81 CS) on Sparrow Records back in 1984, I have felt a massive void in my life. Overall, I would highly recommend Jugoslavia Punk 78-81 CS CD.
Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. Grad izobilja (Problemi) - This one is what it is: a powerful, primal invitation to love. Such hits like Kontroliram misli (92) will leave you hooked. When I listen to Konobar (Electricni Orgazam) in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Song VI (Electricni Orgazam) is actually a funny song. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. Overall a nice softer song. Vremenska prognoza (Termiti) still maintains something of a specific flourish. To ne balet (Buldogi) is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. This track is a great song that still never gets old. Anarhist (Pankrti) is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. A great put together song. Lublana je bulana (Pankrti) is perfect work of Rock - Various Artists. Beograd (Bezobrazno Zeleno) make listening to Rock - Various Artists like being in some sort of time warp. D (Defektno Efektni) which is my favorite is a truly Rock - Various Artists sounding song. You can find feelings on this piece of art. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Viso kotirazni mir (Paraf) - This one is lively and fun. Morao sam ici (Paraf) is really a nice song to relax and listen too. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Rock - Various Artists. Pamflex dom (U Skripcu) is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. This track is nearly perfect if not perfect.

It’s natural for The Fuzztones to take a stab at ‘1-2-5′ considering her long-professed love for Ondskapt. After seeing 1-2-5, I had to have a good The Fuzztones cd. John Digester has compared writing for The Fuzztones’s new album to that on ‘Lysergic Emanations’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. IT makes me wanna dance!
Gotta Get Some is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Lysergic Emanations have ended. This track is possibly the biggest guilty pleasure on Lysergic Emanations. Ward 81 on Lysergic Emanations is solid and easy to listen to. Strychine very upbeat. Radar Eyes - a classic song. The song feels complete. The opening track Highway 69 is very much like you would expect from other albums. Just Once has a beautifully haunting disco flavor. I’ve found myself listening to She’s Wicked back to back and back many times. The Fuzztones sings As Time’s Gone in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Listening to Living Sickness you can hear that The Fuzztones has still amazing chemistry with band members. Bad News Travels Fast (Peel Sessions) is a good listen every once in a while. She’s Wicked (Peel Sessions) is astounding. I now have Epitaph For A Head (Peel Sessions) as one of my personal favorites. Cinderella (Peel Sessions) is a great opener for Lysergic Emanations. Greem Slime is a bit of a show-tune.

This is the first studio album from The Fuzztones with Screaming Jay since bad diagnosis in 1984. On Leave Your Mind At Home (live) album, The Fuzztones with Screaming Jay have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Since completing 1984’s ‘Voices Green & Purple’, The Fuzztones with Screaming Jay fulfilled their contract with Capitol Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Blackout Of Greetly
Blackout Of Greetly is the albums biggest surprise. This track is clearly meant to showcase The Fuzztones with Screaming Jay’s vocal abilities. In We’re Pretty Quick The Fuzztones with Screaming Jay spins a tale you want to hear to the end. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Music and lyrics of The Bag I’m In creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. After you’ve listened to You Burn Me Up & Down, most everything else can’t hold up and is second rate. Alligator Wine - I Put Spell On You is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. It’s That Time Again (5:17) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! This track is almost perfect, instrumentals and vocals combine awesomely.

Live In Leeds isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. This disc has all of the essential Varukers classics. Varukers was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Varukers and Live In Leeds together. This is what good Rock: Punk-Rock should be.
Condemned To Death is just simply stunning. Varukers emotions are reflected through Die For Your Government. I hope to keep hearing Varukers works for a long time to come. Nowhere To Go is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. I believe Don’t Wanna Be A Victim is one of the most cool, heartfelt songs ever written. Listening to All Systems Fail you can hear that Varukers has still amazing chemistry with band members. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. The sound of Soldier Boy is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. This song stands out greatly from the others. The first time I listened to Led To The Slaughter I was struck by its marvelous sound. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. The Last War - A classic Varukers track. No Masters No Slaves is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Nice and different song. Varukers is one of artists that allow his songs like Thatcher’s Fortress to stand on their own and be heard. I love the melodic melody of Will They Never Learn (Reprise) and to this day it makes me feel good. The Bomb Blast without a doubt is the standout song of Live In Leeds. Varukers sings his heart out in United We Stand.

This twelve-song debut EP shows the promise that Black Flag has. This album has some very good songs like Family Man and Salt On A Slug. It’s natural for Black Flag to take a stab at ‘Family Man’ considering her long-professed love for Paul Oakenfold. Black Flag is one of my favourite bands of all time.
Salt On A Slug had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Hollywood Diary is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. This song stands out greatly from the others. Vocal harmonies in this track are great and song structure is just right. Strong, powerful vocals of Black Flag in No Deposit - No Return are very impressive. Armageddon Man is so unique, as each one of the songs is. Long Lost Dog Of It to me is the best you can get from Black Flag. It took me a little time but I ended up loving I Won’t Stick Any Of You. Account For What is just a great song and one well worth taking the time to give it a good listen. What sets The Pups Are Doggin’ It apart is Black Flag’s innovative and organic way of creating atmospheres.

It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Buisness energies, virtually a rebirth. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Buisness. This thirteen-song debut EP shows the promise that Buisness has. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is Do They Owe Us A Living
Do They Owe Us A Living is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Guttersnipe is a strong cut, one of many. H-Bomb is the song that really did it for me. You have to get essence of the Last Train To Clapham Justice’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. I came to like Law and Order. Opening track Loud, Proud and Punk shows the best of Buisness. Nobody Listened is almost impossible to review. I now have Pretty Vacant as one of my personal favorites. Sabotage The Hunt is one of the best records ever. Smash The Disco’s is one of the coolest songs Buisness has ever recorded.

I am not a real Rap: Hip-Hop music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Electronic Banana’ really is amazing. eleven years ago, Blowfly briefly lived up to their terrific name, with an insanely addictive hit single called “Rapp Nasty ?84″. On the Thailand charts, superstar Blowfly’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. IT makes me wanna dance!
I hope to keep hearing Blowfly works for a long time to come. Excellent vocals and musical performances. The beautiful sound of this track makes you want to close your eyes and sway away with the music. Fuck The Devil is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Lyrics of Rotten Fish are precise and evocative. Gimme That Old ?69(The Number - arguably the best track on Electronic Banana album.

Prince was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Prince and Purple Rain together. While no new Prince album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1984 tour in North America. Purple Rain carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. This is my first Prince Album and i must say i am blown away.
Simple and heartfelt closing track Take Me With U closes Purple Rain on a high note. The Beautiful Ones (5:14) - awsome. Computer Blue - I like this one. Darling Nikki is another strong production from Prince. I loved When Doves Cry the first time I heard it. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with I Would Die 4 You. Baby I’m A Star is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Excellent vocals and musical performances.

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Clannad on ‘Robin (The Hooded Man)’. Clannad’s debut, ‘Legend’, does not fit easily into one genre. On Legend album, Clannad have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Unappreciated gift to Folk: British
Now Is Here is one of the best records ever. Herne has a fun tempo. Together We is one of these floating songs. Darkmere gives good insight into the truths. This is one hell of a track. Scarlet Inside is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Lady Marian is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Legend. Battles is absolutely incredible. In Ancient Forest full palet of sound is used by Clannad to accentuate the presentation.

Victims Of Circumstance is an amazing album, racked with beauty.Barclay James Harvest had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. Since completing 1984’s ‘Sideshow’, Barclay James Harvest fulfilled their contract with Columbia Records and where under no obligation to release another album. I wish that “Victims Of Circumstance” album was instrumental.
Hold On is kind of track that compels you to skip back and drink it in one more time before moving on through Victims Of Circumstance. No Barclay James Harvest song has come close to capturing my attention as Rebel Woman did. This is the kind of song I think of when I think of Barclay James Harvest. For Your Love is a great opener for Victims Of Circumstance. Victims Of Circumstance is beautiful, yet underrated track. Music and lyrics of Inside My Nightmare creates, for me, fertile ground for daydreaming. Watching You is one of these floating songs. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit.

Attack’s debut, ‘Danger In The Air’, does not fit easily into one genre. This disc has all of the essential Attack classics. Lead single “Danger In The Air” and “The Dragon From The Hill” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Lots of variety between tracks. My favorite is The Dragon From The Hill
Voice and instruments in The Dragon From The Hill complement each other. This track is a great song that still never gets old. Lonesome Rock’n'roller is the best music that I have heard from anyone in any area of music. |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Blew our minds when we first heard The Parade. Attack is one of artists that allow his songs like The Trees to stand on their own and be heard. This track is clearly meant to showcase Attack’s vocal abilities. Danger In The Air (Later Version) is a great opener for Danger In The Air. Sunday Morning (Later Version) is simple, dignified and effective, Attack refusing to over-emote, and demonstrating that less is more. Watchtower Visions is a exquisite song and it grows on you.

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Fastway on ‘All Fired Up’. ‘All Fired Up’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. IF YOU LIKE ALL Fastway’S SONG GO FOR IT! All Fired Up constantly brilliant.
Misunderstood is one of my favorite songs by Fastway. Steal The Show is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Put Station into car stereo for your highway driving Album opener Non-Stop Love is a bright, upbeat ditty. Hurtin’ Me is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think Tell Me is my favorite song on All Fired Up. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. This is the most melodic ambitious and satisfying track in All Fired Up. After about the third Telephone listen through, I began to believe this song is Fastway’s essence. I think If You Could See is the best song Fastway has ever done.

Since Blacklace last CD (Unlaced) on Mute Records back in 1984, I have felt a massive void in my life. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Blacklace. This is the first studio album from Blacklace since bad diagnosis in 1984. If I may, I suggest “March Of The Black Witch”. That one song is amazing!
Strong, powerful vocals of Blacklace in Call Of The Wild are very impressive. Damn Cheater - I used to hate this song, but now it’s one of my favorites. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Devil In Disguise gives taste of what makes Blacklace special as a musician. On The Attack - My least favorite song on this album. Put Born To Raise Hell into car stereo for your highway driving It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Nightmares is a bit of a show-tune.

Ample Destruction carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. ‘Ample Destruction’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. Lead single “License To Kill” and “Warfare” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. One of Jag Panzer’s best albums yet.
Warfare make listening to Jag Panzer like being in some sort of time warp. This track is full of harmonies and gets Ample Destruction off to a relaxing start. A great put together song. Generally Hostile is probably the most interesting track on Ample Destruction. Song The Watching is actually a funny song. Reign Of The Tyrants is a great song to contemplate the modern music and what it really is all about. This is one hell of a track. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Battle Zones (3:38) - awsome. Death Row is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. When The Metal Melts The Ice one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard. Once you hear Iron Shadows, you will listen to it over and over.

Mila Sparrow has compared writing for Kick Axe’s new album to that on ‘Vices’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Lead single “Heavy Metal Shuffle” and “Vices” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. IF YOU LIKE ALL Kick Axe’S SONG GO FOR IT! I Love Vices from start to finish!
Vices gets you up and jumping. Listening to Stay On Top you can hear that Kick Axe has still amazing chemistry with band members. I like the agression and power of Dreamin’ About You. Meneater make listening to Kick Axe like being in some sort of time warp. On The Road To Rock as well as many of songs is a short story in miniature. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Once you hear Alive & Kickin’, you will listen to it over and over. All The Right Moves is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Blew our minds when we first heard Just Passin’ Through.

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Lee Aaron on ‘Breakdown’. Lee Aaron had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. On the Portugal charts, superstar Lee Aaron’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. This album is in perfect progression from Lee Aaron!
We Will Be Rockin’ is a song that takes you on the journey before it reaches the conclusion. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. Don’t judge Steal Away Your Love on the first listening. Deceiver is a pleasing, and full of overall coherence that goes beyond other creations. After few listenings I started to like Shake It Up more and more. Got To Be The One - This is a very lively song. Head Above Water is perfect. Simple and heartfelt closing track Lady Of The Darkest Night closes Metal Queen on a high note. Metal Queen is a great opener for Metal Queen.

Since completing 1984’s ‘Satisfaction Guaranteed’, Loudness fulfilled their contract with Savoy Records and where under no obligation to release another album. On the Turkey charts, superstar Loudness’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. This is one of the best Cd’s Loudness has dropped to date. This album is awesome.
Revelation is possibly the most mysterious and inexplicable track Loudness ever produced. Milky Way is possibly the best song Loudness has come up. Exploder hits the heart. From the sound of it, I believe the song can be a big radio hit. Some call Esper from Disillusion as a quiet invitation of an artist to sit and listen. Loudness offers the kind of music here that makes you reflect on yourself. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Butterfly is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. I have all of Loudness’s tracks and Ares Lament is probably the most his introspective effort.

There is so much to love about Accept, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. Since completing 1984’s ‘Balls To The Wall’, Accept fulfilled their contract with SixSteps records and where under no obligation to release another album. Since Accept last CD (Balls To The Wall) on SixSteps records back in 1984, I have felt a massive void in my life. I wish that “Balls To The Wall” album was instrumental.
Best song on the album, love it. All of songs on Balls To The Wall and have something to say letting alone Fight It Black. When listening to Head Over Heals, it gives me such an energy rush it’s unbelievable. Losing More That You’ve Ever Had which is my favorite is a truly Accept sounding song. In Love Child it becomes nowhere more obvious that Accept has yet to define own style. It took me a little time but I ended up loving Turn Me On. Losers And Winners is outstanding work of Accept. Guardian Of The Night is another favourite of mine. Winterdreams is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track.

The Last In Line isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Dio’s album The Last In Line falls to No. 2 with 794,000, a sales slide of 79%. On The Last In Line album, Dio have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Such great and happy songs.
In The Last In Line full palet of sound is used by Dio to accentuate the presentation. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. I Speed At Night good vocals. After few listenings I started to like One Night In The City more and more. Evil Eyes (3:39) - awsome. Mystery (3:59) Not one of my favorites, but for a lot of people this is one of their best songs. This song is very powerful, its catchy melody will have you singing along in no time. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing.

While no new Pantera album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1984 tour in Asia. ‘Project In The Jungle’ kicks the album off with a blast of pure pop energy. After debuting at No. 1 last week, Pantera’s album Project In The Jungle falls to No. 2 with 522,000, a sales slide of 94%. Check it every song is worth the money for the Project In The Jungle CD!
Only one song from Project In The Jungle named Killers really got me. The sound of Only A Heartbeat Away is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Projects In The Jungle is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. Heavy Metal Rules is absolutely incredible. From the moment you listen to In Over My Head you’re hooked. Like Fire - To me, this is the best song on the Project In The Jungle. Blue Lite Turnin’ Red - a classic song. Out For Blood pretty much defines how I feel spiritually. All Over Tonight - Check out that bassline!

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Samson on ‘Don’t Get Mad, Get Even’. It has been fourteen years Samson’ last studio CD, “Don’t Get Mad, Get Even” which won Array Emmy� Awards and was nominated for album of the year. On the Australia charts, superstar Samson’s career stalled before it left the starting gate. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
Doctor Ice had me crying as I was able to relate so well. Burning Up is one of the coolest songs Samson has ever recorded. Bite On The Bullet good vocals. It’s very catchy and easy to get into which is what you want in a song. The Fight Goes On to me is the best you can get from Samson. This is one hell of a track. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Into The Valley is astounding. Although Front Page News is very melodic it is far from sad.

IF YOU LIKE ALL Manowar’S SONG GO FOR IT! It’s natural for Manowar to take a stab at ‘manowar’ considering her long-professed love for Gustav Holst. We Are Heavy Metal carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. This is one of the best cd’s i have heard through the whole thing.
blood of my enemies - Check out that bassline! secret of steel is an incredible song that has everything it needs to be another favorite track. Album opener all men play on 10 is a bright, upbeat ditty. metal daze is another favourite of mine. thor (the powerhead) still maintains something of a specific flourish. bass guitar improvisation great lyrics, dark, deep, angry and cool.the oath is one of the more up-tempo songs on We Are Heavy Metal. sign of the hammer is nothing but pure genius. battle hymn is a very catchy tune.

Self-described as Metal: Heavy with lots of words, Manowar comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Hail To England carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. I am not a real Metal: Heavy music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Hail To England’ really is amazing. Hail To England is the best essence of Manowar.
If you are a Manowar fan, you will love Each Dawn I Die. This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. Best song on the album, love it. You can find feelings on this piece of art. Black Arrows is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. Bridge Of Death is the albums biggest surprise.

There is no doubt that Hellhammer has talent. Hellhammer had quite a long carriere and they made many hits. When you buy a Hellhammer album, you know exactly what you’re getting! I love this album so much, i’ve been crazy about Hellhammer ever.
Massacra marked the continuation of Hellhammer in style evolution. Triumph Of Death is an upbeat song with a constant snare hit. Aggressor is a striking and quite long song. This song is dynamic and dramatic. Messiah is excellent work of Hellhammer.

Lead single “Danger Zone” and “No Place In Heaven” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. When you buy a Sinner album, you know exactly what you’re getting! Sinner was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Sinner and Danger Zone together. To me Sinner is the best band ever.
No Place In Heaven is the song that really did it for me. Within the first few notes of Scene Of A Crime it’s perfectly clear that Sinner is living this song. In Lupo Manaro the music gets its power. Sinner allows each song to breathe and flourish. The Shiver - arguably the best track on Danger Zone album. Razor Blade is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. In Shadow In The Night Sinner is at his best. Wild Winds presents the perfect mix of instruments on Danger Zone. In Rattlesnake the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. Outro - To me, this is the best song on the Danger Zone.

Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Saxon on ‘The Crusader Prelude’. Lead single “The Crusader Prelude” and “Crusader” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. When you buy a Saxon album, you know exactly what you’re getting! If you want to hear real Metal: Heavy, get this record now!
Crusader gives good insight into the truths. A Little Bit Of What You Fancy defines beauty, yet is as unforgiving as an astringent stone. Sailing To America is perhaps one of the best tracks of the past decade. In Set Me Free the light shines equally on lyrics, vocals and instrumentation. It’s also one of those rare songs that touchingly comfort the listener. Bad Boys (Like To Rock ‘n’ Roll) is beautiful, yet underrated track. Do It All For You is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Run For Your Lives on Crusader is solid and easy to listen to.

I am not a real Metal: Heavy music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Railway’ really is amazing. This compilation contains all of the biggest hits by Railway. While no new Railway album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1984 tour in North America. IF you love Railway, ‘Railway’ Mp3’s is the best!
Get Railway and turn on Out To Kill if you are going to sip your wine late at night. Screaming After Midnight good vocals. This track is clearly meant to showcase Railway’s vocal abilities. I’ve found myself listening to Nightrider back to back and back many times. Dirty Boys is just simply stunning. This track is a great song that still never gets old. As always, Railway’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Only one song from Railway named Hell Soldiers really got me. Outside of the singles, my favorite song on Railway is Break It Up (Bonus Track). Some of the arrangements found on Railway are surprisingly edgy.

There were many famous songs of Pretty Maids available. IF YOU LIKE ALL Pretty Maids’S SONG GO FOR IT! Red, Hot and Heavy is an amazing album, racked with beauty.Exciting stuff.
A great put together song. Red, Hot and Heavy is nothing but pure genius. Put Waitin’ For The Time into car stereo for your highway driving As always, Pretty Maids’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Battle Of Pride is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. A Place In The Night is astounding. Queen Of Dreams - is a breath or fresh air compared to many previous songs of Pretty Maids. The sound in Little Darling is really warm and Pretty Maids’s signature voice is still very much present. It is succeeded by an outstanding track, however: Please Don’t Leave Me, which shows, blatantly, how much Pretty Maids has evolved as a singer.

Fantasy is simply amazing. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. In Bad Boys the music gets its power. One listen to the sheer beauty of Childen Of Tomorrow was all I needed. Nowhere To Run is Pretty Maids’s best work in years.

This disc has all of the essential Pretty Maids classics. IF YOU LIKE ALL Pretty Maids’S SONG GO FOR IT! Pretty Maids’s debut, ‘First Cuts…’, does not fit easily into one genre. This is the best album I have heard in a long time
Fantasy is one of the best records ever. One listen to the sheer beauty of Shelly The Maid was all I needed. Bad Boys is a nice, innocuous song, and much better than anything Pretty Maids released so far. Children Of Tomorrow motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. This song stands out greatly from the others.

This disc has all of the essential Faithful Breath classics. Faithful Breath was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from Faithful Breath and Gold ‘n’ Glory together. There is no doubt that Faithful Breath has talent. Enjoy the show.
Although I prefer the faster paced music, I think King Of The Rock is my favorite song on Gold ‘n’ Glory. Jailbreaker is beautiful, yet underrated track. A Million Heard have really caught my ear and imagination. Song Gold ‘n’ Glory is actually a funny song. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. Princess In Disguise is nothing short of a modern masterpiece. Don’t Drive Me Mad is almost impossible to review.

While no new Destruction album is in sight, the artist has been road testing new songs during 1984 tour in Australia. After seeing Intro, I had to have a good Destruction cd. It has been two years Destruction’ last studio CD, “Sentence Of Death” which won Array MTV Music Awards and was nominated for album of the year. Exciting stuff.
The first time I listened to Total Disaster I was struck by its gorgeous sound. Black Mass is a romantic if not formulaic ditty. Still going through Sentence Of Death and coming to appreciate Mad Butcher more and more with every listen. One of the more genuine-sounding songs is Satan’s Vengeance.

Ivan Grach has compared writing for Chastain’s new album to that on ‘Mystery Of Illusion’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of Chastain energies, virtually a rebirth. Self-described as Metal: Heavy with lots of words, Chastain comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Mystery Of Illusion is not something you should pass up.
When The Battle’s Over is pretty funky and mellow. Mystery Of Illusion is, without a doubt, my favorite song, ever. I’ve Seen Tomorrow has to be one of the most beautiful tracks on the entire album. Endlessly marked the continuation of Chastain in style evolution. Voice of Chastain in I Fear No Evil is honest and guitar work is subtle and poignant. Night Of The Gods is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses. We Shall Overcome is a very catchy tune. The Wind Of Change have really caught my ear and imagination.

This album has some very good songs like A Dangerous Meeting and Nightmare. There is so much to love about Mercyful Fate, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. For older fans Don’t Break The Oath will put a massive smile accross your face. This album is awesome.
This is one hell of a track. Desecration Of Souls motivates you to get up and do something to improve your life and the life of others. I’ve found myself listening to Night Of The Unborn back to back and back many times. This track, in particular, has the kind of undeniably catchy flavor. Gypsy - a classic song. Welcome Princess Of Hell - Mercyful Fate first major hit. One of the songs that always stick in my mind is To One Far Away because the melody in the chorus is so good. Come To The Sabbath - A nice song.

|titile| is the kind of record that makes you remember why music can be so addictive. A Bitch Again is almost impossible to review. Ostrogoth sings Stormbringer in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Lords Of Thunder is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. The New Generation presents the gorgeous mix of instruments on Ecstasy and Danger.

Since completing 1984’s ‘March Of The Saint’, Armored Saint fulfilled their contract with ForeFront Records and where under no obligation to release another album. This is one of the best Cd’s Armored Saint has dropped to date. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Armored Saint on ‘March Of The Saint’. If you want to hear real Metal: Heavy, get this record now!
Lyrics of Can U Deliver are precise and evocative. Music of Mad House is gentle, never overbearing. Simple and heartfelt closing track Take A Turn closes March Of The Saint on a high note. Don’t judge Seducer on the first listening. Mutiny On The World is the album’s biggest hit, I think. Glory Hunter is new, fresh, and hypnotizing. Striken By Fate (3:28) - Oh, this is one of my favorites! Envy is probably the most interesting track on March Of The Saint. False Alarm is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song.
