Imaginative and memorable, 2010-09-03
One of the best albums Iron Maiden have made - every time I listen to the tracks I hear and understand more. All the tracks are strong and I particularly like Satellite 15, El Dorado, Coming Home and When the Wild Wing Blows.
Highly recommended to new fans and us old ones!

Guns N' Roses
If time is the true test, then Guns N' Roses' Greatest Hits confirms that they really were one of the greatest rock & roll bands in the world. While, in retrospect, fellow graduates of the class of 1987 are about as cool as poodle perms and spandex, the LA bad boys still rock like gods. Listening to the sun-drenched chords of "Paradise City" and the ensuing stadium-sized swagger is enough to make wearing leather trousers and bandanas seem like a good idea. Of course, it helped that for them sex, drugs and rock & roll was a way of life, not a fashion statement. As Axl Rose wails "I wanna watch you bleed" on "Welcome to the Jungle", like a chain-smoking lunatic possessed, it's hard not to believe he meant it. Yet equally, it was his surprisingly poetic nature that made genuinely touching love songs of "Patience" and "Sweet Child of Mine". Though none of their subsequent albums matched the drug-crazed genius of Appetite for Destruction, they did, as the Greatest Hits reminds, have their moments. From the bloated Use Your Illusion I & II came ultimate rock ballads "Don't Cry" and "November Rain", along with the primal rage that was "You Could Be Mine". ...

Muse
With Absolution, size is most definitely an issue. Hoping that it will finally propel them into the musical major leagues, Muse have set out to create a cross-genre monster, a contemporary meisterwerk, the biggest-sounding album in years. That they almost succeed is testament to their sky-high confidence and unarguable abilities. With just three members to draw upon, they've individually stretched themselves to fill in the inevitable sonic gaps. Bassist Chris Wolstenholme, in particular, does sterling work, producing a driving buzz to lift "Time Is Running Out" to a massive crescendo, then a rush of distortion that pushes "Hysteria" to Queen-like levels of ecstasy. Throughout, Matt Bellamy adds classical grace with his tinkling, rolling grand piano, all the while moaning and shrieking out his fear of decay, destruction and death, like a traumatised Gene Pitney. Indeed, aside from their classical leanings and clear kinship with the prog-rock likes of Queen and Rush (there are some outbreaks of metal here), Muse often draw on classic pop, employing lush 1960s-style arrangements. With "Blackout" they go even further, daring to conjure Bacharach's "Magic Moments". If there's ...

Meat Loaf
"Bat Out Of Hell" is a teenage album for adult males, and an adult album for male teenagers., 2010-02-02
Let's clear something up right away. This record is not pretentious. It is grand, operatic, sweeping in scope, theatrical over the top brilliance, full of humor, and great Rock and Roll values like tragic car crashes ("Bat Out of Hell"), car romance that is quintessential teenage angst ("Paradise by the Dashboard Light"), and goofy romance for soap opera nuts ("Two Out of Three Ain't Bad"). Elvis and Roy Orbison are all over the singing style of Meat Loaf (and if you think he ain't a great singer, try singing along with these songs and see how many high C notes you hit while maintaining dramatic phrasing). Broadway theater, Queen, The Eagles, and Springsteen influences run wild all over the album and yet, there is no other album like this so it remains unique despite all the influences. I could go on about the amazing one take Todd Rundgren guitar solo that sounds exactly like a motorcycle ("Bat Out of Hell"), the exact drum pattern from The Ronettes "Be My Baby" on "You took the Words Right Out of My Mouth", or the energy that went in to breaking this album when no one wanted it (34 million worldwide record sales ago) that literally wrecked Meat Loaf. Never again would he approach this level of brilliance, not even close. Instead, I'll end with this, if Springsteen is the son of Phil Spector's Wall of Sound, Meat Loaf is the grandson of that sound. Rock and Roll needed sex, attitude, Blues, R&B, Country, and Chuck Berry guitar licks to burst on the scene, but it surely also needed the larger than life grandeur pioneered by Spector and heroically carried on by songwriter John Steinman, producer Todd Rundgren, and for this one moment in time, the interpretive genius of Meat Loaf.

Rodrigo Y Gabriela
Rodrigo and Gabriela are two fast-fingered, Dublin-based Mexicans with a unique sound created on acoustic guitars. Their music is difficult to define, straddling both world and rock, and often imbued with the timeless Hispano classical influences. The fire in it comes from their life-long passion for metal music. Rodrigo is a deft finger-picker who can move from raging speed to sensual soul in the space of a fret, while Gabriela employs fast, rhythmic techniques. Her percussionist’s thrashing of strings and drumming of the instrument’s body inevitably raises comparisons with flamenco which they acknowledge as an influence but swerve as a pigeonhole. The duo’s repertoire flies beyond familiar Latin folk guitar styles because of the metal connection: their reworkings of Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven and Metallica’s Orion are musts, and the presence on "Ixtapa" of the fiery Hungarian gypsy violinist, Roby Lakatos, is inspirational.
Rodirigues Y Gabriella, 2010-08-15
This CD is excellent, a real reflection of the duo if you get to see them live, which you must!
Saw them live in Greece in 2009 what a great sound.

More interesting music from AX7, 2010-09-02
AX7's previous self-titled release was a bit of an eye opener. Based on what I'd heard of their early work, I'd been expecting extremely heavy music with screaming vocals. I turned out to be a wonderfully complex and varied album with lots of great hooks.
Nightmare has some equally good hooks and is a very enjoyable listen. The Mike Portnoy influence is noticable in some songs (like Save Me) but he hasn't over-run the album. The music is technically complex and rich. The vocals have some screaming but, on the whole, there's more singing than screeching. The more I listen to the album, the more nuances I pick up and the more I like it.
If I had one minor gripe it is in the sequence of the songs. They could have done with mixing up the faster and slower songs to create the same varied feel they attained on the last album.
Well worth getting!

AC/DC
The death of the lead singer would spell the end of most bands. But most bands aren't AC/DC. After Bon Scott's overindulgence in alcohol lead to his undignified end, lead guitarist Angus Young and Co. simply found a singer that sounded exactly the same and carried on. The result: Back In Black, the most successful album of their lengthy career. Like every other AC/DC album, it doesn't deviate from their trademark sounds: loud guitars, basic boogie and vocals that sound like they are being screamed out by a buzzsaw. But never before (or since) have they gotten the formula so consistently right: "You Shook Me All Night Long", "Rock 'N' Roll Ain't Noise Pollution", "Hell's Bells" and the title track are among the best hard rock songs ever. AC/DC never experiment and never innovate; they just rock. No other band even comes close. --Robert Burrow
definitive release., 2010-07-20
No one wants to be a sheep following everyone else but i cant deny that this is the very best ac/dc album out there. The fact is that pretty much all of ac/dcs albums contain some filler, maybe a bit like priest and maiden and even sabbath, it happens and thats the way it goes. This is the ac/dc album that contains no filler, highway to hell was also a masterpiece but this betters that just.
The album was born from tragedy of course, i think everyone knows the story but from the rebirth came the high point of the bands career and they have never bettered it in the 30 years since although im very fond of black ice.
The album has a real swagger about it, confident and it knows this is the bomb.
Do not hesitate for a second, this is the album that you have read about alright and more.
