The Principle of Evil Made Flesh

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Hard Rock and Metal
by: Cradle Of Filth

Release Date May 22, 2006
The first Cradle of Filth album I bought was 'Midian', which I was very impressed by. After reading some reviews I decided to buy 'Cruelty And The Beast'. However, due to a mix up I received this album instead. So I thought "What the hell? I might aswell listen to it!". Little did I know that my taste in music would be changed so dramatically by this album.

The first thing I noticed was the contrast between the production on this album and on Midian. The "wall of sound" on Midian is replaced by a sparse sonic landscape. The guitars are fuzzy, the bass cold, the drums tight; all backed by keyboards, brimming with elegance. The vocals Dani produced on this album are raw, more true to the 'black metal' that was beginning to surface ... Read More:

Billion Dollar Babies: Expanded Version

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Hard Rock and Metal
by: Alice Cooper

Release Date March 05, 2001
This is a great album.Alice Cooper has made quite a few albums that could be classed as great but this is him(and his band)at his very peak.There are many tracks that stnd out including 'Hello Hooray','No More Mister Nice Guy','Billion Dollar Babies' and the fantastic 'Elected'.

I can honestly say that this album sounds as good today as it did when it was originally released.A true classic,brilliantly produced by Bob Ezrin and absolutely essential.

Release Date December 23, 1999
don't get me wrong this is a good kiss album BUT! it really was a big change in sound and direction! i was a big fan of kiss in the 80's crazy nights is still my favourite kiss album, then i was 15 when it came out so i missed the early stage of the band with the make up and all that,so for me kiss in 80's rocked.so back to revenge i was a little surprissed when i first heard it because it was so different to what i was used to,it was a lot darker in mood to say lick it up or hot in the shade records so it took some getting used to but after a few listens i did start to enjoy it more and more so what do i know? have a listen for youself and see what i meen rock on!

Welcome To Hell (Remastered / Expanded)

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Hard Rock and Metal
by: Venom

Release Date February 26, 2008
After sampling 'In Legue with Satan' off the great lightnin' to the nations compliaton CD I imediatly bout the first 3 Venom albums and I have to say their debut is the best of the 3 and an absolute classic slab of metal!

Now everyone says Venom are notorious for bad production and they are right, but I have a feeling it was semi-diliberate to try and achieve the heaviest sound they could muster and it pays off, this is a brutal album and must of sounded like pure noise back in 1981(!).

The album opens up on a surprisingly weak song 'Sons of Satan' but dont let that put you off, the title track is a stonecold classic, so much that Iron Maiden completly ripped off the main riff for one of their best songs '2 minutes to midnight', compare it, ... Read More:

Shades Of A Blue Orphanage

CD-Charts > Music > Classic Hard Rock and Metal
by: Thin Lizzy

Release Date February 12, 2004
I can understand why this isn't the most popular Lizzy album: this ain't the Lizzy we're used to and it's a bit folky/ prog-rock.

But I've had this album nearly 20 years now and I still play it due to some outstanding tracks like Sarah (not the late seventies version) and Buffalo Gal.

These songs were re-recorded in edited versions for later albums which cashed in on their chart success, but Thin Lizzy fans won't be disappointed in this unusual, slightly pretentious but highly melodic and enjoyable album.
