| i m a die hard fan of their debut album.it was a marvellous ,extraordinary record ,absoluty irresistible.here it s a big deception.yes "make a move" is a fantastic song but the rest?it s very average and sound not always melodic.the magic of "law and oder" is definitely gone.

Shark Island - Bloodline |
| From: MetalllianStallion |
Date: December 10, 2019 at 5:48 |
| This band lived on the Sunset Strip in the 80s and where supposed to be the next big thing, but so was Odin & London. "Paris Calling" is a great track on their debut but the rest of Law & Order (1989) was ho-hum to me. The last one "Gathering Of The Faithful (2006)" didn't do much for me. It was a re-recording of previously written tracks that never made it on an album. So "Bloodline" was a pleasant surprise as right out of the gates this album grabs you for the first 4 songs.The album's opening track which they used to play live, “Make A Move”, finally gets a studio recording. Even the Depeche Mode cover is good. Black is back with his distinctive vocals intact as he's the only original member left besides the bass player. I'm guessing about half the tracks are polished up demos from back in the day, as they aren't trying to reinvent themselves, just stick with what works. This is their most consistent album to date, as there isn't that one stunner track, just a good flow overall.

Cry Wolf - Cry Wolf |
| From: CC |
Date: December 8, 2019 at 0:24 |
| Laughing at the first comment on here that this album was bland compared to their follow up. Six of the songs on this album are also on the second album, with only four of the songs on this one being unique. Not quite sure how four songs make all the difference.

Michael Bormann's Jaded Hard - Feels Like Yesterday |
| From: MetalllianStallion |
Date: December 7, 2019 at 6:13 |
| Bormann at 53 still has a unique voice. He had the looks (persona) and talent to make it big, but talent doesn't always translate to album sales. I have a bootleg CD of his early work (1987) T.A.X.(High Voltage) which shows promise of things to come. Jaded Heart's first album in (1994) was 3 years late to the tail end of the hair band party in the states. Losing crucial time from the 80's to to 94' with Jaded heart's debut as the major label clock was ticking. My personal favorite release is his collaboration with ex-Bonfire Angel Schleifer "Charade". Well enough of his bio as Mike ain't dead yet. Bormann goes the Jack Russel's Great White route with this release claiming the fans demand blasts from the past in his live shows. After (2004) "Trust" he got the boot from JH. This release sounds more like a extension of Bormann's AOR/MR friendly solo work, just ho hum, by the numbers to me. I was expecting more of a return to form if he's going to slap the Jaded Heart logo back on.

Eclipse - The Truth And A Little More |

| sensational debut for ECLIPSE with a clear commercial hard rock sound,big hooks and choruses and a fine songwriting performance all the way with no fillers that could sound better if the production was better!it sounds truly flawless and it s not easy pulling it out of the cd player!wow didnt expect that one so good

Aviator - Aviator |
| From: titothetitan |
Date: December 5, 2019 at 17:35 |
| The album is great but it lacks one or two ballads. I think the bonus tracks would be part of the follow-up album.

Date: December 4, 2019 at 16:59 |
| Was in a YES mood, been listening to this the past couple of days. Such a solid album! Love Steve Howe's playing, but man, you can't deny Trevor Rabin's impact. The jump start they needed.

Gino Vannelli - Black Cars |
| From: hair metal again |
Date: December 4, 2019 at 11:09 |
| very good release for GINO VANNELLI in the mid 80 s capturing exactly the pop rock spirit of that era and offering many remarkable songs like "hurts to be in love",'total stranger",' imagination"!many hooks ,mostly keyboard driven and some darker pop lines that i really dig!recommended

Molly Hatchet - Battleground |
| From: Doug |
Date: December 2, 2019 at 17:21 |
| Great question. They don't even list one on their own website? But I did check out a few clips on YouTube. Agree, whoever this guy is, he is good. He has the Danny Joe Brown sound they need.

Bryan Adams - Shine a Light |
| From: Doug |
Date: December 2, 2019 at 17:09 |
| More pop than rock. This is Bryan Adams at 60. This album will never surpass his stellar work from yesteryear. But I do give him huge credit for putting out new music.

Arcade - Arcade |
| From: edwithmj |
Date: November 28, 2019 at 20:13 |
| A lot more raw-sounding than Ratt and I really enjoy it. I've had this for quite a while but have only just given it the chance it deserves. Pearcy sounds much better than he did on Detonator and there's none of the awful filler of that album such as Givin' Yourself Away, Shame or All Or Nothing. What we do get is less-polished sleazy rockers such as Messed Up World (my favourite) and Calm Before The Storm and slower-paced songs like Cry No More. This is the direction in which Ratt should've gone after Reach For The Sky: the guitars are perfectly audible and loud and the bass and drums loud and thumping.

Cage - F-Y-CO |
| From: Ydol eM |
Date: November 28, 2019 at 18:03 |
| Fyco is the name of the label/company that published this, for me, a non-well balanced album whose name is simply "Cage". On the other side, TI is very good here (as usual).

Bad English - Backlash |
| From: CC |
Date: November 28, 2019 at 17:30 |
| I will be the first to admit that I was never really familiar with this band and had never gone out of my way to buy their stuff, but was always a fan of the song Missing you by John Waite, and the two albums were cheap so I thought "Why the hell not". So far only this one arrived and I love it. Have to say listening to it all I could think though was how much it reminded me of the album Blood on the bricks by Aldo Nova (an album I have owned for years) even down to the similar vocal style. Not suggesting anyone copied anyone, just my observation of what this reminded me of.

Grim Reaper - At the Gates |
| From: Metal T |
Date: November 28, 2019 at 15:02 |
| This one has a modern heavy feel,not the record I would have made coming after the awesome 'Walking In The Shadows' but Mr Grimmett is pissed and I cannot blame him.Good luck finding another metal singer-or any singer for that matter who is still recording and touring with what is basically one leg and whole host of depression issues.Not a bad recording by any stretch though-Keep truckin' Steve!

Icon - Icon |
| From: Metal T |
Date: November 28, 2019 at 14:50 |
| Budzilla is a clown...Steve Clifford's vox were d@mn good on the debut-solid,spirited singing delivered with a fire! THIS is HEAVY METAL-I wouldn't expect some of the AOR-pussies (don't get mad) to like it,but hey to each their own.Couple the rippin' guitar work from the two fiddlers w/ the vox and you do in fact have an underrated gem right there.I have the Axe Killer reissue,but still have my old Capitol Records cassette from like a gazillion years ago and the thing still plays-go figure.'Night Of The Crime' is a bit lightweight compared to the S/T but id recommend that one for the axework and Steve's vox which are both worth the price of admission on it.

Tone Norum - One Of A Kind |
| From: titothetitan |
Date: November 28, 2019 at 12:10 |
| Very average album [just not to say weak]. In places the good material [by the Europe guys] is there, but the singer is very weak. How can someone rate this 100/100 is beyond me.

Bai Bang - Rock of Life |
| From: hair metal again |
Date: November 26, 2019 at 14:09 |
| excellent new release for BAI BANG keeping their momentum as they ve managed to create a certain sound in their 4 latest ones with plain ,party hard rock songs with extremely catchy choruses &lines !Didi s songwriting ability is truly remarkable with songs like "crazy night",'hey hey you","stop messin around" and "smokin hot"!one of the best Swedish acts for sure

Dangerous Curves - So Dirty Right |
| From: CC |
Date: November 25, 2019 at 21:39 |
| Just got this one direct from the bands store and it is an interesting one (firstly, be aware it is a CDR) for me. The album is highly competent and has some cool songs on it, with influences that defo throw a nod to the likes of Def Leppard and Danger Danger, with a little bit of maybe Reckless Love thrown in at times but at no point does it really rock out. It just seems to be one mid paced rocker after another. Yes it has the obligatory slow paced ballad in Forbidden love, but the only two songs that throw up something a lil different are Funky bonez which is a mid pace funky rocker, and I need lovin which is an acoustic number but not a ballad. Locked down is probably the closest they come to a balls out rocker, but even that never really lets fully rip. Sounds a bit harsh as I do love the album, its just that I was hoping for a bit more diversity in pacing.

Clean production & well-respected names here but not a great album IHMO. "Until it Burns" "Cover up my Face" & "The Edge of Town are my faves. Too many Uptempos to my taste, Good AOR album though.  80/100

| Frontiers Records really won with this band! I love Magic Dance and this record worths every penny. I bought all the Magic Dance, EPs included.

Triangle - Shine |
| From: juan carlos |
Date: November 24, 2019 at 1:07 |
| Hey! this has nothing to do with Metal! well, Average hard rock EP. The ballad "Melanie" and the semi-acoustic "Destination" are not bad at all, the rest is pretty avoidable in my book. 6/10

The Treatment - Power Crazy |
| From: juan carlos |
Date: November 23, 2019 at 15:37 |
| Excellent & Clean Production, The Treatment has Attitude, Vibe & very good Hard Rock straight to your face. Perhaps nothing new to offer but the energy is there and "Bite Back" & "Let's Get Dirty" are good examples of that. 85/100

Change of Heart - Last Tiger |
| From: juan carlos |
Date: November 23, 2019 at 6:18 |
| I think this is a Good Melodic Rock stuff indeed. The opener "Rise to the Challenge" is cool & catchy, "Roads of my Life" is one my favorite songs here. Some very catchy solos like "Touch your Soul", "Hold onto Love" is a heartfelt ballad & "Silent Rage" are my faves. Good CD, buy it! 85/100

H.E.A.T. - Into The Great Unknown |
| From: titothetitan |
Date: November 22, 2019 at 14:04 |
| This fifth album doesn't sound like H.E.A.T at all and there's no audible resemblance with AOR whatsoever. It's perfectly listenable but very disappoing. H.E.A.T released some new songs of their upcoming 6th album and thank God they're back to their roots [actually it sounds more like a Hard Rock album] rather than this boring psicodelic non-sense that this album [Into The Great Unknown] is.

| From: rick kerch vzla |
Date: November 22, 2019 at 3:13 |
| This one along with "Black Cars"(1985)are the best albums by Gino as the modern sound used at that time made them quite appealing for lovers of Hi Tech AOR as well.My fave ones are # 1,2,3,4(nice),7(beautiful)& 9.87/100 :-)

Gino Vannelli - Nightwalker |
| From: rick kerch vzla |

Saraya - When the Blackbird Sings |
| From: titothetitan |
Date: November 21, 2019 at 19:22 |
| Sandi Saraya had a very hard time in the music business and decided to move forward and take care of her five sons: "I loved music more than anything but I hated the music business and everything it stands for. I have to say too that the harsh criticism we received for the second album really affected me too. It was too much for me. I never wanted to go back to my old life. I've continued to sing, because I love singing, but i've done whatever I can to cover all traces of myself. I wanted to remain anonymous and not be associated in anyway with my old life."

Glory - Danger in This Game |
| From: titothetitan |
Date: November 20, 2019 at 17:12 |
| This is the only great album by them. It will catch you instantly with it's big choruses and keyboards. 'Feel the Fire' such a lovely song. 'I'm Hurt' will stuck in your head for weeks. Sadly, on their second album they departed to a generic and boring Hard Rock that lacks everything that made this debut big. And on the third album, 'Positive Buyoant', despite having the great Göran Edman on vocals, there are 8 instrumental songs out of 10. That anomaly should have never been called Glory as there's no relation with AOR whatsoever. I never heard the fourth and fifth album and I never will.

Jaded Heart - Common Destiny |
| From: hair metal again |
Date: November 20, 2019 at 16:26 |
| pretty good release for JADED HEART with a solid,massive electric heavy sound but again nothing special like their Bormann era and of course this must be seen as a totally different act!well performed but it doesnt have any big hooks or songs !standout songs are "saints denied","my destiny" and "no more lies"!ok i guess

Tom Keifer - Rise |
| From: Rob Rocker |
Date: November 15, 2019 at 15:26 |
| I agree with the Doug's comment above. I think what makes the vocals sound so abrasive/"cat-screeching" is the amateur mixing/poor production. The guitar level is as high as the lead vocals, which kills the dynamics, especially on the heavier songs where you can't even make out what lyrics are being sung. Blows my mind that the mix was approved/released to final production. I think there are some great songs on Rise but it's ruined by the abysmal mix.

| i ve discover this excellent record only now.never late than never.i ve listen a song on rock melodic radio by concidence and i think what a great a o r!!!.i recommand this record but be careful there is four fillers.tracks 2 and 3 have an horrible choruse.tracks 8 and 9 are very very average.but the others songs are excellent.the production is good and the singer have an exceptional voice.he is a mix of phil bates (atlantic) and michael bolton.this album is a class and smart a o r realise.i can add that the bonus track is a very good song.i think that you can give it a chance.hey mister tito try to listen this good a o r record.

| I'm not as hyped as you guys. Side A lacks a ballad or even a med-tempo song. All the songs just sounds the samey. If you listen the first you already have listened all. And the singer doesn't sing, he just screams. Still. I'll give it a second chance as my mate 123charpenay knows quality bands.

| Very average album. At times the chick tries to sing like Doro and fails miserably as she lacks strengh and breath to do so - just watch on Youtube the weak cover she did of 'Living on a Prayer'. Track #3 'Get U Ready' is a rip-off of that famous song (which I can't remember the name now) and it's embarassing. Production and the other band members are good, though.

Tom Keifer - Rise |
| From: Doug |
Date: November 13, 2019 at 0:57 |
| I've been giving this several spins and really trying to like it, since I am a Keifer and Cinderella fan, but man, it's hard. We all know Tom's vocal issues, and he's a screamer to begin with, but the vocals on this one are so "cat-screeching" it's difficult to stay with it. Tracks 5,7, and 10 are passable, but only because of the guitar riffs. I can't recommend this one, the effort is just all over the place. His solo debut - way better, IMO.

| Disappoiting if compared to the debut. They switched to Hard Rock and play 11 very standard songs with nothing new under the sun. Only 'Tonight' and 'Can't Hide Your Tears' resemble the first album. Production is very good though. 70/100

Kix - Fuse 30 Reblown: Blow My Fuse 30th Anniversary Edition |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: November 9, 2019 at 21:44 |
| I guess they weren't able to secure the rights for those songs (from a disgruntled Donnie Purnell most likely). Which leads me to my other question: Are they using Donnie's bass tracks here, or did they have Mark Schenker sneakily go in and re-record them? Regardless, the remixed version of the original album sounds fantastic. Now can somebody please, please, PLEASE do the same with L.A. Guns's debut?

Kix - Fuse 30 Reblown: Blow My Fuse 30th Anniversary Edition |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: November 9, 2019 at 21:41 |
| I also love this version of a great album. That weird, muffled production is gone, replaced by a much clearer sound, but one that still could have existed in 1988. The drums really bang, and the snare doesn't have that sound like there's a towel wadded up inside it. The differences are slight: "Get It While it's Hot' has a longer fade-out; "She Drooped Me The Bomb" has a solo at the beginning that you couldn't hear on the old version; "Cold Blood" ends with a touch more feedback; "Boomerang" doesn't have Steve's trailing scream at the end, and there's a bit more fooling around before 'Blow My fuse," which also stays at full volume longer. Agreed, the bonus disc is not very necessary, which makes the $35 I paid for it through the now-defunct PledgeMusic quite overpriced. There are demo collections floating around on the bootleg circuits that feature a wealth of unreleased songs, both for this album and for Hot Wire, as well as the Thunderground collection, but those don't appear here.

| I agree. Very average album. Sure it has some cool keyboards and some nice riffs here and there but that's it. Production is bad,just listen to the drum sound - it sounds more like a hammer beating on a metal plate. Even Steve Lee sounds annoying at times.

Charlie Sexton - Pictures For Pleasure |
| From: petermexico13 |
Date: November 6, 2019 at 1:42 |
| Great memories with this record!, love the 80s production, a very Young Charlie, a great collection of songs of a different songwriters, Impressed, Beat´s So Lonely, Hold Me, Pictures for pleasure and You don´t belong here are my favourites. Un disco de un muy joven artista lanzado en 1985, varios temas acompañaron algunas películas de la época bajo la producción de Keith Forsey, en lo personal un álbum digerible pero de buena manufactura que denota perfecto la ´poca en que fue grabado. Para ochenteros!

| Picked this up the other day. I agree with many of the comments. These guys are never going to reach the glory of their fantastic debut, but this album is good. Nothing earth shattering and yes, we've heard many of these riffs before, but I've always enjoyed Gioeli's vocals (he and Elefante sound a lot alike, IMO). I think this album is worth checking out.

Kix - Fuse 30 Reblown: Blow My Fuse 30th Anniversary Edition |
| From: Rob Rocker |
Date: October 31, 2019 at 19:46 |
| Big KIX fan, and "Blow My Fuse" is a classic 80's album to begin with, but this remixed CD is absolutely fantastic! It has dynamics and more punch, with some of the generic 80's production stripped back. You can hear all the instruments clearly, and even some riffs/parts that were buried in the original. The 2nd/demo CD is unnecessary, the songs are pretty much the same as the recorded/album versions (No Ring Around Rosie has some minor changes). A bit pricey (with disc 2 essentially being a throwaway) but the remix is definitely worth picking up to replace the original.

| Not only one of the best records from 2018 but also one of the best from the last two decades. Production, musicianship and everything else are done with mastery. 13 top notch tracks, not a single filler. Lead singer Robin is the son of legendary singer Jim Jidhed. His influences on his father and the band Alien are very noticeable. In fact the album does sound as a follow-up to the 1988 debut. If you love Alien, H.E.A.T, The Defiants, buy it!!

Circus of Power - Magic and Madness |
| From: Doghouse Reilly |
Date: October 18, 2019 at 19:19 |
| The biggest thing holding this record back, to me, is the length. It has twelve songs, same as the last disc, yet it's fifteen minutes longer. On the first album, only one song (barely) breaks the four-minute mark. Here, almost half of the songs are over five minutes long, and three of those go beyond six minutes. Circus Of Power don't do epics, dammit! Other than that, I don't see a huge drop in quality, maybe because I'm not totally gone for the debut the way some are. This band has never had the catchiest songs, the best riffs or even the most charismatic singer. They just sorta "do what they do," and if you love that dirty biker-rock sound, there's plenty here to like. For this album, the band opened up for Alice In Chains, along with Masters Of Reality.

Eclipse - Paradigm |
| From: Eric3 |
Date: October 14, 2019 at 21:30 |
| Solid, but not spectacular. Musically it's the same old Martensson; there is absolutely nothing new under the sun here, especially concerning the riffs, lyrics and overall pace of the album. As one HH board member put it, "it sounds like he's marching to war again." It's been getting harder and harder for me to get into this band for several albums now, not like there's anything wrong with them but it's just not as instantly appealing as Bleed & Scream was. The music isn't worse -- just a little stale.

Eclipse - Paradigm |
| From: MetalllianStallion |
Date: October 13, 2019 at 6:14 |
| Is "Paradigm" the soundtrack for a new Braveheart sequel movie? I'm not digging the Celtic/folk/mandolin influences at all.The lyrics stress a rebellion (against the system/politics?) Paradigm means a cognitive framework shared by members of a group. With politics as a example, The left–right paradigm is a concept that societies have a tendency to divide themselves into ideological opposites. It's a controlled opposition created by the elite banking cartel. New face(president to blame),same agenda. "Politicians are put in office to give you the ILLUSION you have a choice, you don't" George Carlin. This band has been around now to close to 20 years and I think they are a talent, especially the production skills of Martensson and Henriksson for other bands. But as far as this release, I like a couple of songs but I'm definitely not blown away. When you have so many irons (side projects) in the fire, sometimes your motherboard band suffers.I expect more from this well oiled machine.

| I just re-purchased this CD all these years later due to the Demon Doll reissue. I do not regret trading in my original copy all those years ago as I found it for a couple of quid at a boot fair (totally random place to find something like this in England). The reason I bought it again is because Pleazure and pain is such a fucking killer tune. I don't wanna cry no more is also a cool tune as well. Listening to it all again all these years later, its actually better than I credited it all those years ago. Still not an amazing one, but certainly one worthy of sitting in my collection.

| I listened to this again over the weekend. Man! The only song that truly "rawks" is "Momma Don't Stop." "All Right" and "Livin' In The USA" somewhat uptempo, but are more like campfire toe-tappers. The lyrics range from sad to wistful to downright bitter in a few places. The part that stuck out for me is on "Alone," where Jack sings "I guess I realized I overstayed my day / I wonder as I write this down, how it's gonna sound when I get old." Pretty unflinching stuff for a band that just a few short years ago was extolling the merits of "Mistah Bone." But such was the world in 1994. You can't fault them for making the music that was in their hearts. They were getting older and maybe thinking about things besides the three People's. Not every Sunset Strip band would be able to pull off a record like this, so I give Great White credit.

| "Get Your S**t Together" and "D.N.F.S" are completely unnecessary songs. Dumb, but the rest is okay.
