Songs From The Sparkle Lounge

by: Def Leppard

Release Date May 05, 2008
Purchased this album and as usuall I buy everything they've done since i got into them around the hysteria time, got the deluxe edition expecting all the goodies, but when i got home, opened it wheres song no 12 (Love -acoustic). There is no tracklisting on back of cover on deluxe edition, now i will have to wait till itunes have it for download which last time i checked they hadn't. Its on the cheap version.

Revelation

by: Journey

Release Date June 09, 2008
It's not as bad as Paul thinks, but he's mostly right the only songs that have any life at all are right at the end and he probably didn't endure the banality to listen that far. 'What it takes to win' & 'turn down the world tonight' have a little more gumption than the rest of this feeble offering and just happen to be the ones where the new singer isn't trying to mimic the old singer. 'The Journey' is an instrumental nod to their 70's incarnation and isn't too bad. As for the positive reviews this has recieved from others, I can only imagine they are desperate for Journey to keep going no matter what banal tripe they push out, listen to some classic albums from journey, this just doesn't make the grade. I want Journey to continue but with quality songs,most ... Read More:

Death Magnetic Limited Edition

by: Metallica

Release Date September 12, 2008
well after a few good reports i finally brought the album and i will have to admit after 15 times listening to it i am still dissappointed, yes the raw musical power is back with some great gitar work and drum work, but and heres the massive but for me there are no songs on there that are truely great songs the lirics to me seemed to be totaly forgotten, indeed even on the 15th play i couldn't sing along to any songs (even while driving along with the music turned up) at least with st anger you had a couple of tracks that blew me away
don't know what went wrong but this ain't in my top 10 of metallica albums

30th Anniversary Collection

by: Whitesnake

Release Date June 09, 2008
Over the top !
Overbearing !
Its white, and plenty of references to the trouser snake !
Overall a great package for all c*£! rock fans, this compilation plucks the best of David Coverdales post Deep Purple band with a bit of covaredale and page for good measure.
Fans of cliched rock rejoice in over three hours of music coving 30 years.

Folklore & Superstition

by: Black Stone Cherry

Release Date August 18, 2008
So here we go, the second album from Black Stone Cherry is here, and it's been worth the wait.
Southern Rock has never sounded so fresh and contemporary, killer guitar lines, powerful vocals and improved songwriting all contribute here to a band rapidly on the rise.
Things don't really get much better than album opener "Blind Man" which believe me is a good thing, because this song is easily one of the best rock songs I've heard this year.
The Ballad "Things my father said" again fits in beautifully, its a tearful reflection on one's dad who has passed away.
It's a shame a band like this is not very well known, by that I mean the casual music listener, because it really is a quality album.

Wake The Sleeper

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!

Black Ice

by: AC/DC

Release Date October 20, 2008
Slightly better than Stiff Upper Lip, but not as good as Razors Edge. Not quite a classic album because there's too many flat tracks here. Having said that I've played it many times and punch my fist in the air in enjoyment. The stand out tracks are Runnaway Train, Big Jack, War Machine, Spoiling for a fight, and Rocking all the way. All in all, if you're a fan, buy it, play it and get rocking!
