Restless - Alone In The Dark |
| From: Swazi |
Date: February 18, 2019 at 15:03 |
| That there are only 2 comments after 20 years says a lot. This release is mostly crap and I found it painful to listen to it. The singer cannot sing and it is no surprise to me that he seems to have disappeared from the scene.

Balaam and the Angel - Days of Madness |
| From: hair metal again |
Date: February 18, 2019 at 14:13 |
| very good hard rock release for BALAAM AND THE ANGEL back in 89 and this is what happens when an English band goes to the States!the sound becomes more hard rocking and the attitude gets better!Days Of Madness will satisfy most hard rockers with its classic sound and strong production by Steve Brown!"i took a little","she really gets to me","did you fall " are the highlights !recommended

Dion Bayman - Better Days |
| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: February 17, 2019 at 17:00 |
Wow...no comments yet but so far only mine?...this is a really pleasant and overall enjoyable modern AOR release...the guy is a very talented songwriter and composer for sure and has been approved here  ...my fave cuts are # 1,2,3,4,5(nice),6,8(nice),9 & 10...as u can read basically the whole album is a dope of melodic stuff...highly recommended...85/100

| CD:
Starbreaker - Dysphoria |
| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: February 17, 2019 at 16:40 |
| It took 11 long years for a come back Record of this "in & off" band/project...Tony is a great as usual and the songs are into that little TNT vibe here and there...my fave ones are # 1,2,4,6,7 & 10(good cover of Judas Priest classic song)...right stuff...80/100
|
| CD:
Kane Roberts - The New Normal |
| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: February 17, 2019 at 16:22 |
The wrestler of Rock & Roll is back!!!...but forget about his AOR past  ...the list of invited guests is enviable but the sound created can be related with Kip Winger"s alternative solo stuff(in fact the man himself is in here contributing)...my fave ones are # 5,6,8 & 9...a decent come back but do not wait for excitement at all.75/100...this "new" is really kinda "normal".
|
| CD:
Kenny McGee - Kenny McGee |
| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: February 17, 2019 at 15:55 |
| Wow very good album in here indeed ...fans of Hard Rock with Glam touches will love it to death...Kenny is a great vocalist for the genre...tracks #1,2,3,4(AORish),6(cool smoothie),9,10,11,12 & 13 are going directly to my book of music...highly recommended stuff if u r into the aforementioned music style...85/100
|
| CD:
State of Salazar - All the Way |
| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: February 17, 2019 at 15:28 |
| Great debut of a band that has Toto and Work Of Art as main references in their music direction ...my fave cuts are # 4(beautiful),5,6,7,8(beautiful),11 & 12(beautiful)...recommended stuff...86/100.
|
| CD:
State of Salazar - Superhero |
| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: February 17, 2019 at 14:53 |
| Nice album that will suit fans of Work Of Art & Toto for instance ...tracks # 1,2,3,4(Totoish 100%),5 & 11 are the ones in my book of music...enjoyable stuff...83/100
|
| CD:
Toby Hitchcock - Reckoning |
| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: February 17, 2019 at 13:37 |
| Perfect and solid sound fulfilled with a powerful vocalist...Toby is nowadays one of the most respected singers of the AOR genre even though his career with Pride Of Lions is in a 'stand by" mode right now and doing his own solo stuff that took him 8 years to release a 2nd album ...my fave tracks are #2,3(beautiful),7,8,9 & 11.Not as solid as his 2011 debut but for sure is a lovely one as well.85/100
|
| CD:
Wake The Nations - Heartrock |
| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: February 17, 2019 at 12:45 |
| Cool album with a sound that is becoming quite typical of this new modern melodic Rock suff...my fave cuts are "Something In Your Eyes"and "Higher"(sounds like Kamelot influenced semi Power Metal song)...tracks # 1(good starter!),2,4(nice),6,7 & 8 are also appealing ones...in general lines an enthusiastic release,decent to say the least.80/100
|
| CD:
Rainbow - Difficult to Cure |
| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: February 16, 2019 at 21:46 |
| Good album for sure with Joe giving his powerful vocal skills to the top of it and with a Purpleish sound ...tracks # 1(hit single),2,3,4 & 6 are the ones for me...enjoyable stuff...80/100
|
| CD:
Praying Mantis - Time Tells No Lies |
| From: hair metal again |
Date: February 15, 2019 at 9:24 |
| very good debut for PRAYING MANTIS in the early 80 s with a solid professional sound & performance and many good songs around like "cheated",'children of the earth","rich city kids"and "flirting with suicide"!a classic of that era for sure
|
| CD:
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime |
| From: hair metal again |
Date: February 15, 2019 at 2:30 |
| absolute masterpiece for the mighty QUEENSRYCHE back in 88 and of course their finest moment!when i bought that vinyl i was amazed by its enregy,performance and the marvelous songwriting!i still cant find anything similar and i d say that this iconic release is one of the releases of my life!

| CD:
Blue Oyster Cult - Fire of Unknown Origin |
| From: Doug |
Date: February 14, 2019 at 12:35 |
| So, I pulled this CD out the other day and have been listening to it a bit. Reading the comments over the years, it seems all are favorable. But for me, except for "Burnin' for You," which is simply stellar and a song that quite frankly, it's production and sound value is completely better than anything else on this album, the rest of the songs are really a mish-mash of techno, "tinny" type songs. The album has no real identity to it, IMO.
|
| CD:
Queensryche - Hear in the Now Frontier |
| From: hair metal again |
Date: February 13, 2019 at 12:02 |
| very good release for QUEENSRYCHE trying to be updated and less prog ,but even like that their talent is obvious!the production isnt clear and the guitar parts are probably their worst but you can find many hooks and interested lines!"hit the black","sign of the times","all i want" and "spool " are the standout songs !good stuff here

| CD:
Def Leppard - Songs From the Sparkle Lounge |
| From: 123charpenay |
Date: February 13, 2019 at 11:20 |
| great album,not perfect but great.track 1 and 6 sound too modern and not enough melodic at my taste.track 4 is a ballad in the vein of the beattles,not for me.track 12 (first japan bonus track) is a piano version of this ballad.definitively not for me.track 13 ,the second japan bonus track 13 is a def leppard s version of the excellent "nine lives".all the other songs are really excellent.we find def leppard in very great inspiration and disposal.i think that this record is at the same level than "euphoria".
|
| CD:
Queensryche - Empire |
| From: hair metal again |
Date: February 12, 2019 at 15:40 |
| a def masterpiece for QUEENSRYCHE, a unique release that cannot be again!perfection in every aspect and a massive sound &production with the band finally reaching the commercial success that seeked!cant find anything missing and surely Empire is one of my best 90 s albums and a fine piece of art

Kane Roberts - The New Normal |
| From: CLOUD FORCE |
Date: February 11, 2019 at 18:01 |
| Not what I was waiting for..it's not 80s and is not classic AOR he used to play,but is well crafted,and even if is modern,the melodies are really catch,so you can't say is a bad album-
|
| CD:
Wild Ride - Tension And Desire |
| From: hair metal again |
Date: February 11, 2019 at 2:23 |
| sensational commercial hard rock music for WILD RIDE back in 93 with their sound being somewhere between ZINATRA,SLEEZE BEEZ &FRONTLINE!the hooks are everywhere and the balance between keys &guitar gives this one a fine radio commercial vibe but always with a hard edge that i so much love!the songs are exceptional with tunes like 'love will find its way","this time","dont save your love" and "stop the fighting" !essential

Best of 2018 - Best of 2018 |
| From: CC |
Date: February 9, 2019 at 17:11 |
| Must admit I did not buy a huge amount of new albums last year, but my top 5 is fairly easy. In no particular order: Midnite City - There goes the neighbourhood, Halestorm - Vicious, Dee Snider - For the love of metal, Diamante - Coming in hot & Maverick - Cold star dancer. Now while I have had a download of it since last year, I would have loved to put the new Donnie Vie album on the list, but as it has not been officially released yet, I will save that for my 2019 list as that beats most if not all of that top 5 for me.

| CD:
Rick Springfield - Working Class Dog |
| From: hair metal again |
Date: February 9, 2019 at 7:51 |
| excellent pop rock release for RICK SPRINGFIELD in the early 80 s and his terrific songwriting ablility gets obvious with plenty of hooks and fine lines!everything Rick does is about a radio friendly song and i really dig his style!"love is alright tonite" |

Queensryche - Condition Human |
| From: Doug |

| From the above comment, I would say the latter, it's their sophomore effort. It took a few spins, but I really like this album.

| CD:
Cry Wolf - Crunch |
| From: 123charpenay |
Date: February 6, 2019 at 11:29 |
| hum i m very surprised by all the very great comments about this record.of course i respect but i don t understand.cry wolf play a decent american hard rock influenced a little by stryper or autograph.no problem with the production,the sound is great but the problem is the inspiration and the talent of this band.all is average in this album the singer,his voice is decent but have absoluty nothing extraordinary,the songs ,no killer songs, no hits at the horizon, no choruses wich will catch you and stay in your brain.when i listen this cd ,i ve the feeling to have hearing this kind of hard rock one million times absoluty no surprise.for make short when i hear cry wolf i feel nothing.for me it s a decent but a second zone band.they don t plays in champion s league.

Boneyard Dog - Bluesbound Train |
| From: 123charpenay |
Date: February 6, 2019 at 11:04 |
| the excellent rob mancini on vocals,yes i take.but with his new band theys plays a real bluesy rock.it s not bad but not for me.it s too much bluesy at my taste.fans of blues rock will be very pleased wiyh this album.me i prefer "rock n roll circus" from rob mancini ,a top class a o r record.

| Love the best of lists on the mighty HH! For me, in 2018: 1. Stone Temple Pilots – “S/T” (what a GREAT return) 2. Judas Priest – “Firepower” (Fantastic!) 3. Godsmack – “When Legends Rise” (Smack purists probably quibble over this one, since it’s more commercial sounding, but I liked it). 4. Kissin' Dynamite – “Ecstasy” (a real gem, check it out) 5. Slash – “Living the Dream” (Myles with Slash, 'nuff said) 6. Halestorm – “Vicious” (Lzzy Hale, heck yeah!) 7. Dead Daisies – “Burn it Down” (Doug Aldrich, such a talented and sought after guitarist) 8. W.E.T. – “Earthrage” (I'm a big fan of Erik Martensson)

Kane Roberts - The New Normal |
| From: CC |
Date: February 1, 2019 at 18:14 |
| It's not the Kane Roberts album that we have all waited decades for for sure, and it will certainly not appeal to a lot of people, but there are some really good songs on this one if you like rock music with a bit of modern touch to it. I will admit there are a couple of tracks that really did nothing for me, but overall I really enjoyed this despite wishing he would release something a little more classic sounding. There is some absolute blistering guitar work on this as well. I know this one will get a lot of hate from the faithful, and in many respects you cannot blame them, but for those open to something different it's worth a punt.

Radio Moscow - World Service |
| From: 123charpenay |
Date: February 1, 2019 at 9:05 |
| i can say that this record is better than their second effort "get a new life".nevertheless this affair stay very very average.ok the sound is perfect ,the production a must but the songs are just decent.the singer is weak ,and sometimes (track 1) he is out of tune and his voice is not adapted to this type of hard rock.with an exceptional singer like ron young (little caesar)this cd could be better.even if little caesar plays in champion s league and radio moscow in a second or third zone hard rock band.this album is for die hard fans of american indie realises.

| rick with his very great comment about moral decay ,have waking up my curiosity about the borg s brothers.i confirm moral decay is a top class aor/hard fm scandi record in the vein of amaze me ,on the rise or zinatra.and i discover that, in 2013, i ve totally missed their debut album.this jewel is hard to find now but finally i ve find it in spain.receive it today wow!!!!what a great record exactly like moral decay.only track 6 "my rose"is not at my taste cause the building of this song is strange.the rhythm of the drums is too fast ,out of tune so this song sound fake.the others songs are killer songs,a real dream to all aor lovers of this planet.the borg brothers have made an excellent job.

Date: January 30, 2019 at 19:42 |
| They wanted to re record the songs totally different from the originals. Well mission accomplished! Played this the other day and probably will never play it again! This release is for very very die hard fans only! I love Thunder but don't love this! I see no logic in doing what they did. If these songs would of been released in place of the originals, the band would of disappeared and their music career would be over. 5/10

Toby Hitchcock - Reckoning |
| From: Eric3 |

| This sounds nothing at all like Mercury's Down. It's more like Find Me with Hitchcock on vocals rather than LaBlanc. The production is almost completely identical, save for some interesting string arrangements scattered here and there. It's not bad, but I'm missing the power of the debut.

Shy - Misspent Youth |
| From: edwithmj |
Date: January 24, 2019 at 11:33 |
| I don't unerstand a lot of the negative opinions about this one. This is easily better than Excess All Areas, which was only slightly above average for me. We start off with a superb rocker Give It All You Got which got me hooked from the first listen. Burnin' Up and Money are two more hard rockers with super solos, After The Love Is Gone is a decent ballad with unbeatable vocals. My final pick is Broken Heart with unforgettable lyrics. The guitars and vocals are the best they'd ever been by the band. Lovely stuff.

Maverick - Cold Star Dancer |
| From: CC |
Date: January 15, 2019 at 17:41 |
| I kept hearing things about this band, but had listened to a couple of songs here and there but never really thought 'yeah, gotta go out and buy their music'. When they announced this album I decided to take a punt and preorder it. Thank god I did as what an amazing album it is. On the strength of this I went out and bought their previous two releases, and while good, they just did not hook me like this one did (that might explain why previous listens did not excite me). There is defo some 'Irish' influence in this with the odd Thin Lizzy nod here and there, but overall its a damn good mix of styles without sounding like anyone else. Seize the day and Goodbye are the two real standout tracks for me, and were some of the strongest songs from last year for me.

Nashville Pussy - Pleased to Eat You |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: January 14, 2019 at 22:15 |
| ... laced, ZZ Top-esque 'Hang Tight.' I'm curious if the subject of 'Go Home And Die' is long-departed original bassist Corey Parks (similarly immortalized in 'You Give Drugs A Bad Name' from Say Something Nasty), or if it might be referring to former drummer Jeremy Thompson, who was replaced with very little fanfare in late 2016.

Nashville Pussy - Pleased to Eat You |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: January 14, 2019 at 22:12 |
| I'm an enormous fan of Nashvillle Pussy, so it pains me to report that Pleased To Eat You falls into the lower half of their catalog. The production sounds like the remixed version of From Hell To Texas: raw, to go along with some undercooked songs. There are three covers here: 'Testify' (George Clinton), 'Woke Up This Morning' (Nazareth), and 'CCKMP (Steve Earle). The first two are fun, if a little goofy, but the latter (which stands for Cocaine Cannot Kill My Pain') is dreadful, possibly the worst song this band has done (and Blaine sounds like he has the microphone right in his mouth, on this and several other songs, which is really annoying). 'Endless Ride' is a plodding, wannabe southern-rock jam that just drones along, and a few others just feel tossed-off, and again, the production really lays bare some of the weaknesses. The best songs are 'She Keeps Me Coming,' the snide 'We Want A War,' 'Just Another White Boy,' 'Low-Down Dirty Pig,' 'Drinkin' My Life Away,' and the harmonica

Date: December 31, 2018 at 10:09 |
| Many many years ago there was a short lived store near to me that was basically a warehouse clearance store for Our price, and it used to sell cassettes and CD's at incredibly low prices. I would go in there on a weekly basis and buy pretty much anything (on cassette back then) that looked like 80s hair metal, glam, metal or rock. I bought Screwed blued and tattooed this way. Beyond a couple of songs, I thought it was just 'OK'. Years later I replaced the cassette with a CD and decided to pick up this one with little expectations. God damn though was I blown away by this one. Maybe it was the Def Leppard influence that was so obvious on this one, or maybe it was just the songs were so much better, but whatever it was it kicked my arse. Listening to it again now on the last day of 2018 and it still sounds fucking great. Thank god for cheap CDs or else I might never have bothered with this.

Since the songs were selected by fans, someone might miss their favourite track (Lies In The Sand eg ). Despite this, I like the selection which is a mixture of hard rock, alternative and progressive rock, pop, grunge, funky, soul...

Dokken - Lightning Strikes Again |
| From: 123charpenay |
Date: December 21, 2018 at 10:41 |
| a little disapointment for me.it s a decent dokken realise.on several songs dokken have the modern temptation,not very melodic,absoluty not at the same level than the best albums of dokken.the glory days of under lock and key are far far away.i can add that don dokken have lost his beautiful voice maybe the ravages of time with the help of cigarette and whiskey.this cd have not the irresistible spark of class of their best realises.

The Wild! - GxDxWxB |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: December 18, 2018 at 21:29 |
| The only bad thing about this disc is that it's only seven songs. What, you couldn't come up with three more to make a full album? A pretty nice criticism to have, really. This is deceptively simple, power-chord, blues-dipped, punk-injected rock 'n' roll, something like what Buckcherry have always been aiming for but can never reach. I'm also reminded of a band like Snew, only with the higher caliber hooks Snew lacked. Jackyl, American Dog, Junkyard, Dirty Looks, Rhino Bucket, and all those other gutter-dwelling dirtballs all feature inThe Wild!'s sound to varying degrees. The only letup comes with the slow blooze of 'What About You,' whose lyrics are a bit ridiculous, yes ('Every woan wants a mister, every man just wants somethin' to screw'), but on the whole, the EP makes you want to drink whiskey and drive fast.

| pretty good debut for TRAGIK ,in the classic Phil Vincent s way of songwriting and performing!nothing blowminding ,but it has its moments with songs like 'higher','back of my mind','caught in the moment' and 'jessica'!unfortunately there are some fillers and it could be much better with em off the album

Jackyl - 25 Years 1992-2017 |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: December 17, 2018 at 19:06 |
| The festivities conclude with a cover of Black Oak Arkansas's 'Hot And Nasty,' originally from 1997, but touched up to remove Tom Bettini and Jimmy Stiff's parts. In the end, the disc is kinda like the appetizer sampler at a sports bar: greasy and fried, bad for you but oh so good, but yet in amongst the wings and the mozzarella sticks and the jalapeno poppers, you get broccoli bites or fried zucchini or something. You wonder why it's there, and ask if you couldn't just get tater skins instead.

Jackyl - 25 Years 1992-2017 |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: December 17, 2018 at 19:02 |
| This compilation is pretty spotty. You get most (but not all) of the early singles, but few of the fan-favorite deep cuts like 'Just Like A Devil.' They couldn't get clearnace to use 'Locked And Loaded,' and so replace it with two other songs from Cut The Crap (two of the better ones, but still inferior to 'Locked And Loaded'). And by the way, 'Dumb Ass Country Boy' hasn't held up well at all, with Jesse's oh-so-1997 gripes about sissy-rock and waning interest from radio. The selection of later songs is just as erratic, with no 'She's Not A Drug,' or 'All Night Rodeo,' but stinkers like 'Favorite Sin' and 'Just Because I'm Drunk,' plus the version of 'Just Like A Negro' with DMC to prove that some of jesse's best friends are black (Jesse all but pleaded for someone to be outraged by the original version, but no one who mattered was). Then we get yet another live version of 'Redneck Punk.'

KISS - Lick it Up |
| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: December 15, 2018 at 19:35 |
| A heavier album that the common releases of the band...saw them live on the Tour of this one with Helix as the opening act in Lisbon-Portugal.My fave tracks are 1,3(hit single),4,5,6 & 8...some comments above are not good at all towards it but in my case i think it's quite a decent record with good songs in it.85/100

Firmo - Rehab |
| From: MelodicMetal4Ever |
Date: December 13, 2018 at 17:00 |
| well let's see....never heard of this band so we'll see what we got. After 1st listening I found my self saying Ohh I like that song..then Aww that's a great song...by the time I was done with the cd and counted up all my OH'S and AW'S, that was almost the whole cd!! The singer is from Italy but reminds me of Bon Jovi in his delivery and sound. The band as a whole sounds alot like a 'lighter' version of Bon Jovi if you will. some highlights are tracks 2,3,4,6,11,12 & 13. the whole cd is GREAT but those are my favorites. If you like Bon Jovi type music give this a try..I think you'll like them. I know I did.
