Black Tide - Light From Above |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: September 7, 2008 at 3:05 |
| Yeah, the singer is about 15 I believe (and on his third go-round in seventh grade, according to Rolling Stone, AND already a pothead), and the other guys are a couple years older. I like this CD, but a couple things hold it back fo rme. The lyrics rae pretty cheesy, but mainly it's those yodelly power-metal vocals that grate on me. Surprised to see it on this site, as it's heavier than the usual fare.

Litterer - Romancing the Night |
| From: Speed Racer |
Date: September 7, 2008 at 0:01 |
| Man I love those guys. I remember a friends band opening for them a few times in the early 90's. Damn shame they never got the big break. I've been tryin to find a copy of Romancing the Night for years. Anyone know where I can get one? All I got a a couple songs on a old dubbed tape which is not in that good of shape. If you can help me out email me or leave a message on here. Email is hurricaneracingteam@yahoo.com

Pantera - I Am the Night |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: September 6, 2008 at 20:31 |
| Somehow, I don't like this one as much as Projects In The Jungle, even though it's heavier (they were really getting heavier with each album even back then). This seems to have a more European, "serious" feel (to the music I mean, the lyrics are still by and large pretty dumb), and it reminds me of bands like Dokken or anthemic Priest. It's really a shame the band shuns these releases. Sure, it's a very different flavor, but with the exception of the amateurish Metal Magic, it's nothing to be ashamed of.

Pantera - Projects in the Jungle |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: September 6, 2008 at 20:17 |
| This is way better than Metal Magic, and the Def-Lep-with-EVH comparisons are dead-on. This really reminds me of a somewhat wilder High 'n' Dry, with Terry sounding like a screamier Joe Elliott. "All Over Tonight," "Out For Blood," "Like Fire," and the title track are all terrific, and "Heavy Metal Rules" is musically very cool too, but yeah, the lyrics are pretty dumb. But it was 1984, most metal lyrics were stupid. Guys, if you still need this stuff, I have it, or you can just Google the band and album name, plus "mediafire" or "Rapidshare" and you'll most likely come up with a link you can pinch it from. S'what I did.

Pantera - Metal Magic |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: September 6, 2008 at 20:02 |
| Well, as we all know, Pantera's humble '83 debut is nothing like what they would become in the '90's. Metal Magic is made up of very average hard rock, like scrappy Crue or the most aggressive Twisted Sister. Really nothing special at all, but highly sought after since the band virtually disowned it. Standouts for me are "Ride My Rocket," "I'll Be Alright," "the smooth and melodic "Nothin' On But The Radio," and the frenzied title track.

TMG - TMG 1 |

| Heavy enough to get me started, melodic enough to make me stay. Great cd and contributions from all involved. A keeper that gets regular play around here.

Bangalore Choir - On Target |
| From: rbrigade |
Date: September 6, 2008 at 9:41 |
| This album is GREAT! Far better than Herricane Alice which had only two songs worth. But there's no need for a comparison since they play in a very different style! BC are far too melodic and commercial compared to HA. Tracks 1,2,3,6 of On target are melodic hard rock gems! David Reece is a GREAT singer, wish there were many more like him. He is far better than Udo, yet the Udo albums of Accept are far better than the crappy Eat the heat. David is back in business having just released an album with Swedish band Gypsy Rose. I must also add that David's voice sounds great both on melodic as on heavy stuff. He could be a great metal singer, he was actually in metal bands in his early demo years (Sacred Child, Dareforce).

Bad Moon Rising - Opium For The Masses |
| From: rbrigade |
Date: September 6, 2008 at 8:50 |
| Another boring album by Bad Moon Rising. Can't understand what's so great about them...While they have great members they just fail to deliver the goods. Ok, I don't agree with ratings like 10/100 but 90/100 is almost equally unreasonable...Average songs performed good, That's all about this album...
|
| CD:
The Promise - The Promise |
| From: juan carlos |
Date: September 6, 2008 at 1:31 |
| Correct peterpoland. Very Good British MHR/AOR. "Holding Out For A Miracle" "Don't Keep Me Waiting" "Holding On" are the highlights and define this album, "Sleeping Alone" is a good/beautiful ballad. Catchy Chorus and really good solos/Keyboards. 8.8/10
|
| CD:
Bad Moon Rising - Blood |
| From: rbrigade |
Date: September 5, 2008 at 20:00 |
| Every time I listen to it I get bored...Ok, Swan is a great singer, Doug is a great player, but the songwriting is just above average on this album. Most of the songs fall in the filler kategory. Tears in the dark is a nice tune. But not something outstanding. Doug can play fantastic...but are the solo's he's doing here really anything to die for? No way...If you like Swan just check Tytan, this was his magnum opus, hands down.

H.S.A.S. - Through the Fire |
| From: metalmastermusic |
Date: September 5, 2008 at 15:44 |
| This is one excellent release with one killer lineup. Great riffs , solid vox . Not much more to add to the comments above. Get this one. 92/100
|
| CD:
Extreme - Saudades de Rock |
| From: metalmastermusic |
Date: September 5, 2008 at 15:42 |
| Hmm...very few comments on this one yet? It is different and more like the Pornografitti album in its sense of funk. Nuno is just a stud on the guitar and Gary is very good. I like the modern edge they have put on this and they have some very funny lyrics as well. My fave songs Star, Comfortably Dumb and King of the Ladies. Welcome back Extreme after some very bad releases. 89/100

| CD:
Fatal Charm - Looks Like Trouble |
| From: metalmastermusic |
Date: September 5, 2008 at 15:37 |
| This is not bad but far from great. It has some really solid tunes but not one sticks out as a killer track. Reminds me a bit of a 2nd rate Bon Jovi/Winger. The production does not do it any justice as it soudnsliek it was recorded in a tube. I know it was remastered but it still sounds like a tape recording. This is worth having but I would not make it a top priority. 77/100

Vixen - Vixen |
| From: Dante |
Date: September 5, 2008 at 14:37 |
| I loved the singles but, when I got the album, it all sounded a bit too AOR for me. The songs ain't bad, just don't expect some heavy rock. Peace

Axe - Nemesis |
| From: lalo r.o.c.k. |
Date: September 5, 2008 at 14:05 |
| What a band! strong and catchy melodic riffs,AXE is the definition of the inmortal Hard Rock,that amazing sound made with passion and soul,songs like Heat in the street,All through the night,I think you´ll remeber tonight(great begining),Eagle flies alone,Let the music come back,Masquerade; are masterpieces of great melodic rock,this is a must have for any rock collection,9/10.

Place Vendome - Place Vendome |
| From: KurtmanJP |

Frozen Rose - Frozen Rose |
| From: RoseHead |
Date: September 5, 2008 at 10:59 |
| I remember these guys touring the Midwest in the early '90's. What a great stage show and no one was doing the songs they did at the time! I hear they are all still active, but in different bands. I caught up with the singer living in Pittsburgh now, and I hope he gets back out onstage soon! I know they have a myspace page and also their album is available for free download on the archive dot org website, so it's out there for you if you want to hear it! UP THE ROSE!!!!

Sister Whiskey - Liquor and Poker |
| From: Dante |
Date: September 5, 2008 at 8:17 |
| Even though Strum aparently dostroys the bands he produces, he produces great albums, nevertheless. This is a great, fun, southern-fried L.A. party rocker. Great musicians, great compositions, great guitar licks and a voice that captures the real emotions out of every song. If only the songs from their previous demo were in this record, this would be near perfection, specially Southern Mistreater and Memphis Road. Peace

The Scream - Let it Scream |

| Corabi is the man and this is his masterpiece! Nothing more needs to be added. Peace

| CD:
Kik Tracee - No Rules |
| From: Dante |
Date: September 5, 2008 at 7:58 |
| People like to trash this record but I think this is one of the most original records of the time. They weren't afraid to experiment with other sounds and still maintain that party rock excitement. Still get crazy listening to it. Stephen Shareaux's voice is really one of a kind. This get's top marks in my opinion. Peace
|
| CD:
Wildside - Under the Influence |
| From: Dante |
Date: September 5, 2008 at 7:45 |
| One of my favorite EVER! I still remember the first time I heard it playing on the record store, when it came out. Had to bring it home that moment. Absolutely recommended! Peace
|
| CD:
Jones Street - Dancin' With the Devil |
| From: Dante |
Date: September 4, 2008 at 20:00 |
| This is my 1st post ever and I have the honor to post the 2st comment on this magnificent record. This is Sunset Strip as we all love it! No rehashed, "new millenium" over prduction. If you love late 80's/ early 90´s sleaze, do yourself a favour and get it! No regrets. Peace

| CD:
Except You - Child of Desire |
| From: KurtmanJP |
Date: September 4, 2008 at 19:57 |
| "Let It Run" "Deprived Childhood" and "Your Heart" are excellent AOR songs with lots of keyboards and energy. The rest is good but not great. Sounds like a better version of Exizt but with a female singer and more keyboards.

Dogpound - III |
| From: CLUTCH |
Date: September 4, 2008 at 18:54 |
| Geoff is spot on with the fact they write unique lyrics. This cd actually had me reading the lyrics for singing purposes. Great release all the way around, from the writing to the playing. A little bit of a modern edge that I typically don't care for but this one REALLY works. Totally melodic and totally great. End of story. BTW: "My Own Sin" sounds just like what a friend of mine says all the time! Ready to trade for something better.....or is it?

Marcello/Vestry - Marcello/Vestry |
| From: shoemaker |
Date: September 4, 2008 at 8:44 |
| This stuff is overrated. Far from brilliant. It sounds like the first DANGER DANGER album. Its not very original. Some people here are very fast with 100 points rate. For me 100 points is brilliant at the test of time!!! 90-99 are very good. 70-90 good stuff. 50-70 more or less average. under 50 is the weak sector.

TNT - Tell No Tales |
| From: BIG-TIME |
Date: September 3, 2008 at 20:10 |
| Excellent album, but Tonys voice just edges this band out of my favourite bands list. He just screams and wails abit to much for me! like on 'Desperate Night' great song but just to much screaming anyway excellent album buy it you won't be dissapointed with it something for everyone...KEEP ROCKIN ALL!!!

Axxis - II |
| From: BIG-TIME |
Date: September 3, 2008 at 19:54 |
| Personally I don't like this album!!! It sounds alot like Lenny Wolf on vocals with Stratovarious playing the music but the songs are just boring, I want to like em but just can't. For some reason the songs sounds like they came out of the "Rocky Horror Picture show" or another beefed up rock musical, with that; as I call it "Victory rock"...like whats played on a sickly action movie or something. So for me it's a big no, no...KEEP ROCKIN ALL!!!

The Outfield - Voices of Babylon |
| From: DanDare |
Date: September 3, 2008 at 18:45 |
| 'Voices of Babylon', 'My Paradise' & 'No Point' are my personal highlights on what (to my ears) remains the quintessential Outfield album, to this day. There really isn't a bad track on it but it is lite and poppy with a rock edge that should satisfy most AORsters. 95/100.
|
| CD:
EndeverafteR - Kiss Or Kill |
| From: CC |
Date: September 3, 2008 at 18:14 |
| If you like this album you should track down the song "No more words", the song they contributed to the album WWE Music vol.8 Also worth checking out for the Airbourne song "Turn up the trouble".

| CD:
Desmond Child and Rouge - Runners in the Night |
| From: Harald |
Date: September 3, 2008 at 14:57 |
| IMO this is a must have for any early 80´s AOR fan and comes highly recommend if you like Franke & The Knockouts, I-Ten or Preview. Desmond Child had loads of hits in the 80´s. Bon Jovi´s "Livin´On A Prayer" and Alice Cooper´s "Poisen" were amongst them. Every song on "Runners...." could easily be a top 10 single but with his own projects he didn´t have the succsess he deserved. "Tumble In The Night" is my favorite track here and without a doubt a #1 dancefloor killer, so it´s up to DJ´s now. TIMELESS!!! 10/10

Paganini - Weapon of Love |

Big Thing - Fallen Nation |

Date: September 3, 2008 at 10:38 |
| Their demo was definitely like Dokken in sound.They changed a bit modern direction with this release but not that much like Masquerade's 1st to 2nd release.Good band.Don't pass.

Bon Jovi - New Jersey |
| From: CECILIA_BONJOVI |
Date: September 3, 2008 at 0:20 |
| Un verdadero álbum para recordarse, para mí el mejor en su historia al igual o después de 7800ºF, lo tiene todo desde lo mas Heavy hasta lo mas melódico (como la excelente balada I'll be there for you) pasando hasta por algo de country, un álbum tan bueno que ha pasado la prueba del tiempo gracias a su gran calidad en todos los sentidos, dejando de lado la comercialidad, para mí uno de los mejores en su historia... LONG LIVE TO BONJOVI!!!!

| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: September 2, 2008 at 22:40 |
| First comment???....listeners!!!..where are you???.Good album with perhaps some touches of modern rock but still pleasant to listen to.The album brings us good songs such as "Venus In Overdrive","Obliveon" & the highlight of the album that is undoubtebly "What's Victoria's Secret?".One curiousity in here....almost all the Bissonette family played here!!!...hahaha!!!.85/100

Elegy - Labyrinth of Dreams |
| From: CLUTCH |
Date: September 2, 2008 at 20:11 |
| Another one of my favorite melodic metal cds. It is releases like this and Conception- in your multitude that truly got me into the melodic stuff. A fantastic album that will always have a special place in my collection.

| CD:
Conception - In Your Multitude |
| From: CLUTCH |
Date: September 2, 2008 at 20:05 |
| Never mind musical categories, this is one of my favorite albums of all time. Huge riffs, hooks and vocals all over the place. I would say this has a little bit of a metallic edge to it (in a good way) but is very melodic. One of the reasons I started listening to the more melodic stuff as opposed to the heavier. This cd will stand to the test of time without question.

Warrant - The Best of Warrant |
| From: DanDare |
Date: September 2, 2008 at 18:08 |
| Probably the place to start if you've never heard them before and are curious. I used to have the 'Cherry Pie' album on casette (what's a cassette grandad?) when it first came out and used to live driving along to it. Bought this CD a little while back and it all sounds a bit thin now but 'Cherry Pie', 'This Disguise', 'Uncle Tom's Cabin', 'I Saw Red' & 'Bed of Roses' are all worth the admission price. Just don't pay a fortune for it. 80/100.

Seventh Key - The Raging Fire |
| From: DanDare |
Date: September 2, 2008 at 18:01 |
| Magnificent and mighty. Every tracks a winner, although 'The Sun Will Rise' and 'Always From The Heart' are among my favourite songs of all time. Having said that, all the songs combine excellent musicianship, melody, hooks and the sort of full sounding production that I love. Dynamite. 97/100.

Humanimal - Humanimal |
| From: DanDare |
Date: September 2, 2008 at 17:52 |
| For someone who tends to stick to the lighter end of the market, I actually quite like this album. For me the best track is 'Find My Way Home' - it's a monster. As is the rest of the album. Good melodic riffing. The only downside is that the last 4 or 5 tracks do rather blend into 1. But it's a small price. 85/100.

John Kilzer - Busman's Holiday |
| From: DanDare |
Date: September 2, 2008 at 17:39 |
| I really wanted to like this album - honest, I tried really hard. The problem in the end is that it's just too damn quiet. 'Marilyn Dean And James Monroe', 'Parasites' & his cover of Al Green's 'Love And Happiness' are all pleasant enough I was just always left feeling that he could've done with turning up the guitars a bit. Shame really. 70/100.

Adam Bomb - Pure S.E.X. |
| From: CC |
Date: September 2, 2008 at 8:46 |
| Havent heard this album in years, but just finally got round to replacing it on CD, so just been listening to it. Now, I always remembered loving the title track with its Billy Idol stylings but really couldnt remember if any of the other songs were that great. Well I have to say as the other songs came on, they brought back all sorts of memories, and I cant believe I forgot some of these tunes, as I used to love so many of these songs (amazing how time and memory goes). Is it a work of art or one of the greatest albums ever? No! But what it is is a great little pop/rock/glam album with some decent hooks and singable choruses!

Fisc - Handle With Care |
| From: Mustaine_TW |

| not their best record but some good songs "Come Run Riot", "Won't Let You Go", "Love Under Attack", "Let Me Leave" and "Breaking All The Rules" . Track #5 is very similar to Def Leppard imo.

Such a shame they headed towards that direction...Their worst album ever!

Carpe Diem is in the anthemic vein PM delivered so many great songs in the past. Until it dies is a dark masterpiece. The rest is good but not good enough. The album actually did disappoint me a little. It's really good, but I want better cause we're talking about my favorite band, hehe! 8/10

Pretty Maids - Anything Worth Doing Is Worth Overdoing |
| From: rbrigade |
Date: August 30, 2008 at 11:54 |
| Ronnie Atkins is the absolute metal throat! Pretty Maids is the most underrated band in the world, they should be rock icons like Def Leppard, Kiss, Maiden, Metallica etc. This album is worth 100/100 from track 2 up to 7. Tracks 8 till 11 just dont reach the same level...Hell on high heels is an AOR masterpiece, When the angels cry is a hard 'n' heavy semi-ballad miracle and With these eyes must be one of the best ballads of the 90's. And why don't you people like heavy metal anthems like Only in America or Destination Paradise?????? I can't understand people saying ''PM are good at AOR stuff, but their heavy songs are fillers''. Just couldn't be more wrong

Pretty Maids - Spooked |
| From: rbrigade |
Date: August 30, 2008 at 11:45 |
| Twisted is not a ballad...Die with your dreams is not melodic rock. These are just heavy metal monsters like Dead or alive. Your mind is where the money is is another fantastic song, maybe a little on the modern rock side. Spooked is also a modern metal anthem nad they do one track like this on almost every new album (check out Until it dies, Worthless and Die for a lie). I like every song here and 3-4 are in my all time favorites. This is so superior compared to 90's metal bands that sold more than Pretty Maids...such a pitty...One of my top ten 90's releases

And the AOR highlights Know it aint easy, Please dont leave me...perfect too. Come on tough come on nasty is the sleaziest thing they've ever done, love that one too! Atkins is simply awesome here. His voice is unbelievable! Did I tell you I love Pretty Maids? Well you've figured it out I guess...9/10

Pretty Maids - Lethal Heroes/Jump the Gun |
| From: rbrigade |
Date: August 30, 2008 at 11:18 |
| Pretty Maids are the best band ever! They can play everything from heavy metal to AOR just brilliantly. I prefer Atkins vocals on this one compared to Future world, cause on this one he figured out how to sound raw without overdoing it. Lethal heroes, Don't settle for less, Savage heart, Headlines, Partners in crime, Attention, Over and out...I can't recall any hard rock albums containing so many PERFECT songs! I must agree with Tomcat on the production. The album is somehow overproduced, everything sounds thrown in the mix carelessly. Still the album is a must buy like Red Hot and heavy, Future world, Sin decade, Spooked, Anything worth doing...Like I said...THIS IS THE BAND!

| I had this on vinyl years ago and then sold it for some reason. I bought the CD again on ebay last year, listened to it and remembered why I sold it before and sold it on again. It's not that I'm violently opposed to it, it's just that it's not very sophisticated. There's lots of shouty vocals, thumping music and squealy guitar. Great if you like that sort of thing. 'In The Fallout' is probably the most memorable track on here and you know there's gotta be a video on YouTube of them with their fingerless leather gloves, miming on some landfill site and pointing at the camera. 50/100.

Kix - Kix |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: August 27, 2008 at 1:43 |
| Kix's debut, seven years and three records before most people had heard of them, is a somewhat odd mix of metal, pop and even a bit of punkiness. It reminds me of a heavier Hanoi Rocks. Songs like 'Atomic Bombs' and 'The Kid' must've sounded pretty tough back in '81. I never thought of 'Poison' as a particular standout, but apparently, it was a staple of their earlier live sets, until Blow My Fuse went big. And of course, there's the band's signature track, 'Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.' This CD is worth it for that esential song alone, but there are some filler-ish songs that keep it from a really high rating.

At least some of these clowns know stage from real life, These toss offs wear the make up and stage gear on a day to day basis. Leigh Van Hell always wears his eyeliner and his stage off fits i wouldnt be surprised if he wore them to bed! Dave Scythe famous for his love of Transexuals and Transvestites here in melbourne loos like he doesnt belong and refuses to conform to the others looks, looks more like Beaver Cleaver with makeup. Terrible guitarist also. These guys have no style, no talent. The get real shitty when they dont get a reasonable crowd. The lame assed singer emphasises that with his carry on actions 'tantrums' on stage. Avoid this band like the plague, the only people who give this band any praise is themselves.

Kix - Cool Kids |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: August 26, 2008 at 20:04 |
| Most everybody, the band included, hates thsi album, and I have to say it's one of their weakest albums. Keyboards are everywhere on this thing, ruining what could've been some fairly rockin' tunes. 'Body Talk' gets a bad rap because of the godawful video, but is actually kinda catchy. The title track is HORRIBLE, though, and 'Loco Emotion,' well, I don't know whether to laugh my ass off, puke my guts up, or sing along. 'Love Pollution' could've been good had it been recorded with the same powe as later albums. 'Mighty Mouth' and 'Restless Blood' are good fast tunes as well, but the bulk of my 55 rating is from the ballad 'For Shame.' Hey, Fat Freddy, Kix did perform 'Restless Blood' live for quite a while, even after giving up on the rest of the album.

Kix - Midnite Dynamite |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: August 26, 2008 at 19:08 |
| After two quirky little albums, Kix finally grabs onto the style they're best known for, a sort of AC/DC-aggression-meets-Cheap-Trick-sugar sound. Actually though, this is probably their heaviest work, adn the title track the heaviest song they ever did. Beau Hill insisted on giving Steve Whiteman the Steven Pearcy treatment, and so the vocals have this strange, echoey sound to them, which takes away from the melodies somewhat. But this was and is the soundtrack to many a party around my particular doghouse. Favorites: 'Cold Shower,' 'Bang Bang,' 'Sex,' and especially that monster title track.

Kix - Blow My Fuse |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: August 26, 2008 at 19:03 |
| Kix finally hit the big time on this record, the second in the new, harder style the first fully embraced on Midnite Dynamite. The songs here are even catchier, I think mainly because the vocals aren't triple-tracked and reverbed all to hell, so now just about every song stands out. The guitar tone is kinda weird-sounding, though. This is prime, no-bullshit, East Coast hard rock right here. Favorites: 'Red Lite, Green Lite, TNT,' 'Get It While It's Hot,' and especially 'She Dropped Me The Bomb!'

The songs are more up-beat and they did away with the whole dark feel they seemed to achieve (intentional or not) previously, even down to the album artwork. 'Animal Heart', 'Stand or Fall' and 'Rescued (By the Arms of Love)' are highlights for me. 90/100.

| Kix were always known as a stellar live band first and foremost, and this is a pretty good representation. Steve's kind of irritating, talking in his shrill singing voice (the intro to 'Blow My Fuse' is way too long, but the talking part in 'Yeah Yeah Yeah' is wonderfully filthy). I hav e abootleg from Ocean City in '87 that's just as good as this, though.

Kix - Show Business |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: August 26, 2008 at 18:44 |
| I'ma big fan of Kix, but I have to agree with the majority: this is just missing something. The songs sound like leftovers, and at least one of them is. They played 'Book To Hypnotize' live for over ten years before it made this album. These guys actually have probably two or three full albums of songs that never made any record, and while I've only heard some of them, it's hard to imagine that the songs that made it onto Show Business was the best they could come up with. The two ballads are putrid, but some of the rockers are decent, if extremely formulaic. I gave it a 50 just for trying, but this should be the last Kix album you buy.

Listen to the whole album in one sitting and I promise you you will not be disappointed. It plays like a classical suite. The music washes over you in waves breaking on an Irish shore. I've awarded this 99/100 because he will never top 'Out of the Silence'.

It is everything you could want from an AOR album. Darren Wharton is a God and should be idolised. If youever see him walking down the street throw petals at his feet and then offer to bear his children. This is the last of my top five AOR albums you must own. 100/100.

Things kick off with 'Sharp Dressed Man' which to be honest, along with 'The Boys Are Back..' are the worst two tracks on here. More interesting are he covers of The Allman Brothers' songs. Hatchet have been covering 'Dreams I'll Never See' since the debut album, so no surprises with this one, but a nice addition is their version of 'Melissa' which is very good indeed. The Eagles songs are ok, although strange hearing Phil McCormacks gruff vocals, especially on 'Desperado' - a beautiful song for sure, but I'mnot sure if this one works or not. The standout of the album is definitley 'Wild Horses', which has always been a great song, but they certainly take it to new heights and do a fantastic version on here. So,a general thumbs up all in all, and for a covers album, not a disaster like some I have heard.

| For me this album started off well but it soon degenerates into a shadow of what Kix used to be. The songwriting and lyrics sound tired, unoriginal and uninspired. That said this is a good album if you've listened to all the others and are dying to listen to somenew material from these guys! 5/10
