Brent, I remember that Stormwitch being pretty good. I had checked them out because of a Hammerfall cover. Whats the rating for that one?

It's pretty good jj - it's not as

as their earlier albums and in the end is a pretty unusual mix of classic metal and almost pompy melodic rock (eg the title track). I dragged it out as part of my 1987 listening.

There's a few albums like that actually - Shy's Excess All Areas is definitely part hard rock but there's also plenty of AOR style about it.

That Shy album is excellent. Don Dokken produced some of it I remember. Devil Woman is a great cover too. The S/T from a couple of years ago was great but their other albums weren't up to par.

Excess All Areas is a ripper and , unfortunately for those that don't have that version , the 3 bonus tracks are stronger than many of the album tracks. The s/t made my top 50 , so 'nuff said.

I would agree that they were up and (mostly) down early on but I rate some of their other later albums quite high , especially Unfinished Business.

I had Excess All Areas back in the day and loved it. Still do.

I'm trawling the depths of 1987 now mate

- they were an unsigned (note the awesome cover art) band out of Houston USA. There's a bit of a Christian edge to some of the lyrics but nothing too preachy. They're old style classic metal a la early Sword, Vicious RUmors etc..... and for an indie production it's pretty good.

I'll be listening to City of Heroes some time over the weekend, but I'm not expecting much based on the songs we've heard so far.

Never heard of the other one.

City of Heroes is getting some great reviews ..........but then so is the new Trixter track which just made me roll my eyes.
