A Classic Metal Saturday night!
I had a craving for this, F&J's 4th album. A sort of bridge between the thrash days and the 90's. I was a bit skeptical when this came out, but it has aged amazingly. There is some seriously bad ass rhythm guitars on this album.
You made me go back to this one. It's a pretty cool album, in the line of those early 90s records from thrash bands slowing things down a bit, but still with plenty of energy and punch. Sounds great.
Not my fave classic Accept album, but again, I had a craving for it. Wolf Hoffman's tone is unmistakable. But I have to say that I'm a huge fan of Stefan Kaufman's drumming, so groovy.
Agree with everything. I typically reach for Breaker or Restless and Wild for classic Accept, but this is good stuff too.
While I love me some Michael Kiske, Walls is such a classic album. My favorite part of the Pumpkins United show was easily Kai's mini concert. These songs translated so well in that setting. A testament to their quality.
WoJ was actually the first Helloween I heard, and at first I didn't love it - more "raw" than I was expecting, between the vocals and the overall sound. Now I think it's great - I actually like the songs from the EP even better (which I believe are always packaged with the album now)
When I did my Top 50 albums years ago, this came in at #35. I love this album. If I did a Top 50 songs, In My Darkest Hour would rank even higher than that.
Never quite got the love for this one. I've seen it very high in many Megadeth's fan lists - with my friends back in the day too. In My Darkest Hour is a fantastic song, but the album feels all over the place (not in a good way). I guess not surprising given where Mustaine (and the rest of the gang) was at the time, but still
I like Peace Sells way, way more...
Jeff Scott Soto rules this album. It's an all time Top 10 Vocal performance on ANY album. I cannot believe he's the same guy that turned in those lame vocals for Sons Of Apollo. Oh, and Yngwie is pretty good too!
Yes, indeed! I'm not even a huge Yngwie fan, but the songs rip on this one! The solos AND the riffs are great and, yes, JSS kills it.
