Skid Row review

Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2012 09:14 (A review of Skid Row)

By: Skid Row
Release date: 1989
Standing track: 18 & Life

From the late 80's onwards, any band or artist's best strength lied in their debut and Skid Row by the eponymous band is one such example. The first song I'd heard was 18 & Life, lyrics based on a true story, and I fell in love with the band and the song and decided to look at the album and found such great tracks like Youth Gone Wild, I Remember You and Big Guns

Ultimate Victory review

Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2012 09:14 (A review of Ultimate Victory)

By: Chamillionaire
Release date: 2007
Standing track: Hip Hop Police

Chamillionaire is a modern Hip-Hop genius and this album proves why. Bringing more catchier songs than before, this album is one of the most innovative and entertaining rap albums I've ever heard. I like the lyrics of Evening News/Morning News and Won't Let You Down and as for Hip Hop Police, it very well could be the American Pie of rap music! Kudos!

Led Zeppelin IV review

Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2012 09:14 (A review of Led Zeppelin IV)

By: Led Zeppelin
Release date: 1971
Standing track: Stairway to Heaven

Considered the greatest album to listen to while rollicking in bed, LZIV is Zeppelin's most greatest effort and easily their most recognizable. This also cemented their status as a 'classic' rock band, most particularly by the song Stairway to Heaven, a forever rock classic, followed by Black Dog, Misty Mountain Hop and my personal favourite, Rock 'N Roll...

Van Halen review

Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2012 09:13 (A review of Van Halen)

By: Van Halen
Release date: 1978
Standing track: Runnin' With The Devil

Have to admit, this is the only album I thoroughly enjoyed by Van Halen. I'm not a major fan of Halen, just to a degree, but I did also like 1984. Anyway, this introduced a new, rare talent in Eddie Van Halen and his immortal tapping technique which has raised a question that still haunts to this very day: Did Eddie invent the tapping technique?

The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits! review

Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2012 09:13 (A review of The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits!)

By: Pantera
Release date: 2003
Standing track: 5 Minutes Alone

You can't label out one Pantera album and declare it the best. You just can't. That's science!

So what do you do when you are stuck in a situation like this? You buy this compilation CD which has been so brutally named: Reinventing Hell! This may be a compilation CD and i don't consider them as 'albums' but it's sick far beyond driven! This CD contains 15 tracks from Pantera's 4 well-known albums!
From the groovy Walk, to the foot-stomper 5 Minutes Alone to the haunting Floods to the in-your-face-AC/DC I'm Broken, this compilation is a must-have for us junkies!

Paranoid review

Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2012 09:13 (A review of Paranoid)

By: Black Sabbath
Release date: 1970
Standing track: Paranoid

It's a fact: more than 75% of rock music that came from the early 80's wouldn't have had been possible if this album weren't there. Paranoid forever changed British rock music and laid down the blueprints of true heavy metal and a new legend was born in Tony Iommi and his heavy guitar riffs. Oozing out tracks like Ironman, War Pigs and the title track, it's no wonder this album is considered the Godfather of Heavy Metal

Rust in Peace review

Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2012 09:13 (A review of Rust in Peace)

By: Megadeth
Release date: 1990
Standing track: Holy Wars... Punishment Due

Arguably one of the greatest metal albums, Rust did not only bring Megadeth to a wider audience but it also gave us Marty Friedman, the guitarist who I think is better than Ol' Dave himself. It's no wonder all the albums Marty has done with Megadeth are vintage! You may not like all songs but you surely cannot pass off Tornado of Souls, a song which is on everyone's tongue but often forget how it goes!

Nevermind review

Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2012 09:12 (A review of Nevermind)

By: Nirvana
Release date: 1991
Standing track: Come As You Are

1991 was quite a unique year of it's own: We got Slave to the Grind, Metallica (Black) and also Music for the People... OK, bad example but will do. But 1991 is historic because of Nevermind, the album responsible for bringing both Nirvana and Grunge-rock to a more wider audience. The immortal classic Smells Like Teen Spirit is something that everyone has heard of but my most favourite song is Come as You Are. Overall, the album sure is great and one should have it in his over-piling mess of CD's!

Appetite for Destruction review

Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2012 09:12 (A review of Appetite for Destruction)

By: Guns N' Roses
Release date: 1987
Standing track: Sweet Child O' Mine

OK, this is no-brainer. Everyone knows this album, the songs and the band. Arguably one of the greatest debuts in history, Appetite has won hearts for all the right reasons but, sadly, none of their follow-up albums were as great as this one. I mean, I only liked 1-2 songs from their other albums, unlike this one!

Deep Purple in Rock review

Posted : 11 years, 10 months ago on 28 May 2012 09:12 (A review of Deep Purple in Rock)

By: Deep Purple
Release date: 1970
Standing track: Child in Time

In Rock had all the makings of a great album. This is the album that shot Deep Purple to stardom and the name suggests their transition to a more 'rock' sound. They're in rock now, geddit? Anyway the first song is Speed King, one of the earliest fastest songs but the main highlight is the monumental epic Child in Time which brilliantly showcases Ian Gillan's vocals, Jon Lord's unmatched Organ playing and the 3rd greatest guitar solo in the history of rock music by Ritchie Blackmore!
