Back in Black

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: AC/DC

Release Date February 18, 2003
AC/DC is one of those rare bands that all these years later, I can honestly say that I still enjoy listening to--almost as much as I did when I first heard it back in '80. It's also one of the ONLY bands that bring me and my oldest son together...something I cannot say about the music MY Father used to listen to.

Debates have raged for YEARS over who is better, Brian or Bon...? Honestly I love 'em both. While to this day SOME people have a problem being able to distinguish between the two (and some of those people even consider themselves FANS), I noticed the difference the second Brian began singing on the very first track I heard, which I believe was the title track. It took all of maybe 45 seconds for me to become a total convert. ... Read More:

100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: Bon Jovi

Release Date November 16, 2004
I'm about half way through disk 3 right now and can not believe the songs on this set. with the exception of 3 songs so far I like all rest I've heard. I do like bon jovi, but I'm not a huge fan. that being said half of these songs are as good or better than the songs that did make thier albums. I got a really good deal on this I got it from an amazon merchant for $16.50 including shipping it was used, but it is just like new. definately well spent money. there probably is $60 worth of good music here though.

Metallica

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: Metallica

Release Date August 12, 1991
Before I get into the meat of my review, I must acknowledge that this album was one of several that distanced the "hardcore" Metallica fans from the band. Many felt betrayed by the band, which they had seen as moving away from their thrasher metal roots. This is indeed true; the album is very radio-friendly. That said, the album on its own is very solid, whatever your opinion of how it compares to the band's previous work.

From the distinctive opening noted of "Enter Sandman" all the way to the end notes of "The Struggle Within," there is not a bad song on this album. Several Metallica staples, including "The Unforgiven," "Sad But True" and "Nothing Else Matters" also make appearances on the album.

I know the above-mentioned "hardcore" ... Read More:

Master of Puppets

This is easily the best album Metallica has ever come out with and will ever come out with. There is not one bad song on this album. From Battery to Damage Inc., it is headbanging heaven. If you do not have the album, buy it. Buy it now. Thank me later.

Highway to Hell

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: AC/DC

Release Date February 18, 2003
"Highway to Hell" es para muchos fans(me incluyo)el mejor álbum de su carrera,con la llegada del productor "Mutt" Lange encuentran el equilibrio y la potencia necesaria en sus composiciones, dando el salto de calidad que los hace superestrellas del rock y una fuerza que surge a finales de la década de los 70's, para iniciar con todo un movimiento que avecinaba el reinado del hard rock durante la siguiente, empezando por el himno "Highway to Hell", donde lucen contundentes en su interpretación, con cada tema va llegando un nuevo clásico, y canciones como "Girls Got the Rhythm", "Walk All Over You", "If You Want Blood", se hacen indispensables en su repertorio, el cual, sin saberlo quedaría como el final del legado de Bon Scott con la banda, y dejaría el camino preparado ...

High Voltage

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: AC/DC

Release Date February 18, 2003
AC/DC is a true power rock band. Every song on there electrifying debut is rocking all with the same basic rock beat and cool guitar riffs. Starting off with Its A Long Way To The Top it just goes from there every song on here is rocking(well except maybe the bluesy Little Lover) But still the album is AC/DC when they were young as it says in the booklet. Lock up your daughters because this album is a non stop rock thriller and is perfect for any person who loves basic rock n roll and not concept albums.

Ride the Lightning

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: Metallica

Release Date October 25, 1990
Talk of Metallica albums usually passes over "Ride the Lightning"; you hear how great "Master of Puppets" is, the transition that was "the black album" and general disgust at "St. Anger." The truth is, without "Ride the Lightning," we never would have seen any of the others.

"Ride the Lightning" was Metallica's sophomore album, and it represents a quantum leap forward over "Kill 'Em All," setting the sound that has come to be known as "Metallica" to us. The songs are more refined, yet still feel as raw as those off its predecessor. While it would later be refined into "Master of Puppets," arguably the greatest metal album ever, this album is still a masterpience, containing "Fade to Black" and "For Whom the Bell Tolls" as well as the very-well-done instrumental track "The Call ...

...And Justice for All

CD-Charts > Music > Hard Rock
by: Metallica

Release Date October 25, 1990
Three Stars Is a VERY Kind Review. I'm being kind because the album after this was below in quality and actually makes this one seem better than it ever really was. A good way to more objectively review this is to listen first to the "Black" album, then to "Master of Puppets", and finally this one. For me, listening to the Black Album was for the large part a chore, the ensuing MOP a pleasure, and this halfway between.

As I wrote in the title, ...And Justice For All is Master of Puppets extended, and beaten to death. So many of the same keys, chugg-chugga "melodies", vocal patterns, and composition structures are pounded into the ground. Even worse, the compositions themselves are rarely inspiring; the sludgey tempos and easy-to-make-fun-of dour atmosphere predominate throughout, making ... Read More:
