The Beatles - Abbey Road
posted a review of The Beatles - Abbey Road. 10 months ago
In my opinion The Beatles best album is Abbey Road. Also, in my opinion, I feel Sargent Peppers Lonely hearts Club Band is over produced and a bit overrated.

But, I purchased Abbey Road on Vinyl and this 2019 reproduction by Apple Corps Limited... See full review
Anthony Pappa - Balance 006
posted a review of Anthony Pappa - Balance 006. 11 months ago
can not believe the reviews I am reading for this release.
Hands down this is one of the best progressive compulations of 2004. I think that it is up there with Sasha's Involver album and I have yet to understand why there are so many mediocre... See full review
Bolt Thrower - ...For Victory
posted a review of Bolt Thrower - ...For Victory. about 1 year ago
At first I wasn’t all that crazy about For Victory, but after listening to it again after a break, I realize how great it really is.

This was the last album with the original “classic” lineup with Willets and Whale still in the band. It was never the... See full review
Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade
posted a review of Bolt Thrower - The IVth Crusade. about 1 year ago
Easily my favourite album of all time! The riffs are so damn crushing and continue from start to finish and the drumming is absolutely brutal. This is my 10/10, I listen to it almost every day even years after having first heard it and seem to love it... See full review
James Zabiela - The Masters Series Part 15 - Life
posted a review of James Zabiela - The Masters Series Part 15 - Life. about 1 year ago
Zabiela's goal for this album was to create a set of EDM that sounded like one giant song. Thematically, he tried to make the energy, mood, and drive cohere throughout the entire set, and for the most part, he succeeded.

Unlike his previous... See full review

Cinderella (3) - Heartbreak Station
posted a review of Cinderella (3) - Heartbreak Station. about 1 year ago
Heartbreak Station, Cinderella's third studio album and ultimately their last record to achieve platinum success, is one of the forgotten gems in the 80's hard rock era. Long Cold Winter, for all its virtues, was marred by its pop-metal conventions.... See full review
Cinderella (3) - Long Cold Winter
posted a review of Cinderella (3) - Long Cold Winter . about 1 year ago
As the title of this review says, this is no "Hair Band". If ever a band was unfairly labeled, it was Cinderella. This is band of gifted, talented musicians, led by Tom Keifer, who is one of the most brilliant musicians alive. The album title should... See full review
Cinderella (3) - Night Songs

Back in the day, I listened to nothing but heavy metal. Over the years, my music taste has become more diverse so I listen to pretty much anything with a good tune and rhythm.
I got back and started listening to what I used like when I was in high... See full review

Hernan is the man. He's Sasha from the 1990's. Beautiful minimal Progressive sweeps then stronger beats lifting you like a cloud gently carrying you to places you want to experience. Balance is easily the Best series since Renaissance stopped making... See full review

First of all, I am a huge Nick Warren fan and have been for numerous years. He's that rare DJ that knows how to build a set and look at the bigger picture. The pro's of this CD are that it is well mixed and all the tracks are very good. On the other... See full review

I vowed a while back, perhaps harshly, not to rate any progressive releases higher than 4 stars simply because they weren't Nick Warren's GU Shanghai. I'll make an exception here, and NW himself wouldn't mind since the prog maestro is always saying... See full review

The Balance series has brought some exciting and memorable mixes from Joris Voorn, Danny Tenaglia, Henry Saiz etc.. Some of the Balance series seems rushed while some seems tediously perfected. Many times it seems a DJ wants to fulfill a conceptual... See full review

There is no denying that Megadeth – Mustaine and the brand – remain a force to be reckoned with in the metal community, especially for those of us that have spent nearly 3 decades following their career and lapping up every ounce of metal forged. But... See full review
Death (2) - Human

Death was unquestionably one of the, and arguably the primary innovators of the death metal genre, but it was with this album that Death truly built their legacy as one of the greatest metal bands ever. This marked a new phase for Death, turning them... See full review

Continuing the Death reissue series, this reissue of 'Individual Thought Patterns' does not dissapoint in the least. Coming hot off the heels of their magnum opus 'Human', Death continued to expand and push the boundries of 'death metal' on this 1993... See full review

Megadeth - Endgame
posted a review of Megadeth - Endgame. about 1 year ago
After 1990's landmark album Rust in Peace, Megadeth's sound, more or less, began to get less and less heavy with each subsequent album during that decade. 1992's Countdown to Extinction, while still possessing a somewhat thrashy sound at times, was... See full review

In 1990, Megadeth released the critically-acclaimed thrash-metal masterpiece, "Rust in Peace". Their 1992 follow-up album, "Countdown to Extinction" (which also received extremely positive reception) kept the Megadeth spirit alive, but perhaps... See full review

Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?
posted a review of Megadeth - Peace Sells... But Who's Buying?. about 1 year ago
A classic. Possibly the best Megadeth album ever made but it is a close call between their first 4 releases really. This was their Ride the Lightning, for want of a better analogy, and it is every bit as good. 'Wake Up Dead' is just a hammer in music... See full review

I've never been a huge Megadeth fan, as a matter of fact I've called them Megacrap for a long time. I never thought they were crappy really, but I just always viewed them as second tier Metallica.

I've always been an audiophile, and just recently... See full review

Beautiful disc, rough remaster. It's rather unfortunate that this had to be remastered. The new vocals are lacking tremendously. Many songs sounds fine, but some are just completely ruined. Any yells or collective screams or demonic voices are... See full review

It's a pity that this year's Sunset Session with Blank & Jones in April 2020 had to be cancelled at the dairy bar at Norderney. I should like to enjoy other sunset sessions in the milk bar in the past. And it was a pleasure. With this CD, I was able... See full review

Nice intro that immediately makes you feel like the next North Sea holiday. Afterwards, the B&J interpretation of “Lovelee Dae” in the lounge version pleases. Afterlife's “Pirates” is the next successful break.
