The Number of the Beast

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

Release Date September 14, 1998
"The Number Of The Beast" is an absolute classic, a landmark album in music/rock/metal history. And this reissue is an absolute disaster, with the classic cover printed in wrong colors, and the audio victimized by the infamous "loudness war" (Google the expression if you don't know what it means), with the music having been turned into one big mass of distorted noise. I did a full audio analysis of the whole album and just can't understand how the band's label could have let this precious material fall into the hands of inept audio engineers capable of producing something this amateurish. I wonder if the band had any say in these "enhanced" releases. Avoid this thing and buy an older, non-enhanced and non-remastered CD edition of the album if you ... Read More:

Wake The Sleeper

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

Release Date June 09, 2008
Head First was the last Heep album I bought. Not paid any attention to them since then, but reading reviews here at Amazon, I took the plunge and bought Awake The Sleeper.

Good job I took the advice on offer, because this is a good, solid listen and so nearly a 5 star effort.

Good mixture of new and old sounds here, with that great Heep-unique organ accompanying songs throughout. It rocks from start to finish, but a special mention for What Kind of God, which is classic Heep to these ears.

Lads, don't think about drawing your pensions yet : there's obviously life in you all still!

Houses of the Holy

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

Release Date August 25, 1997
This is essentially Led Zeppelin's best album, due to the fact that no other fireball in their cannon has as much diversity as this one.
This is an album for the highway and your 67' black camaro.

Kiss - Greatest Hits

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

Release Date June 18, 1999
I bought this on tape when it first came out, then gave it away. If you like rock, want ot hear KISS's hits, how the were recorded, buy Double Platinum, and then just buy Creatures of the Night, Lick it Up, Asylum, Crazy Nights, Revenge, Psycho Circus, and then Carnical of Souls.

And Guys, I I have them all, been to see them 6 times, will try and get to Download (was at the front last time at Donnington), and must advise you all to get out there and see "The Hottest Bad in the World, KISS" live and in the (probably decaying) flesh!

Also Alive, Alive II, Alive III, and Alive IV are very much worth buying...

The Best of Deep Purple

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

Release Date October 12, 1998
even though it was stated as new release for 2008 Deep Purple's best of is merely the same compilation that was released ten years ago as i came across it in co-op so don't be fooled by the release date as there is nothing new on this dissappointing best of.

Volume 4

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

Release Date February 26, 2008
This album is brilliant. Ignore the negative reviews, this is a great album. The song Changes just reminds me of the awful cover by Ozzy and Kelly Osbourne so I do not like it, but the rest is brilliant. It's what you'd expect from the early Black Sabbath albums a great metal album with a bluesy feel to it. Best songs are Wheels Of Confusion/The Straightener, Under The Sun/Everyday Comes And Goes & Supernaut. Recommended to Black Sabbath fans. I like any Black Sabbath albums as I always enjoy Tony Iommi's guitar playing so no Black Sabbath album is bad. BLACK SABBATH ROCK!!!!!!!!!!
