I played the lp backwards(side D to A) to relieve the ...sameyness and found it pretty dull I'm afraid. I think it all stems from Faulkner's influence. He's an excellent player but very straight. KK is Ledge, free flowing and artistic whereas Richie is uniform and conventional. The twin leads...

It's a nice record, just a little safe and straightforward(which everyone does nowadays it seems). I can see why Painkiller fans think it the best since then, but I prefer the other reunion albums. Deeper lows but greater highs. Early days so it may grow-love the title track.

I think Phil Collins once said Genesis could sound like Zeppelin in practice but the records always sounded like themselves. It's just an inherent thing. Changing all members would change the sound significantly for me, not to mention the character. KK going was a huge loss, Glenn will be too...

A large part of the second heart! I digress... RIP. They were truly great days.

Yes they are, because they're the fourth heart!

Yep, include Thin Line and Nomad and I'd agree.

I watched it 'live' last night and thoroughly enjoyed. Sounded great to me, although seemed to tail off nearer the end. Maybe my ears. But I'm still not liking the new stuff. Enternity is fine and Speed of Light is very good but the others, not for me. Personally, I'm glad Hallowed's gone...

I have to disagree with you on Motorhead's Bomber; I've got and luv all their studios and this is tops on a good day. Phil's drums are wondrous to behold on "Dead Men...", Eddie sings on the blusey "Step Down" and "Stone Dead Forever" is THE Motorhead track, it's play-out matching the cover art...

Yeah, I know but nostalgia an' all. I get a bigger thrill playing the original, however it sounds. It's still got the HMV(Norwich) price sticker - 17.99ukp. 27.99 for the new one just doesn't feel good. It'll probably happen one day, especially for TFF, but not right now.

X Factor was originally released on clear vinyl I believe, not picture disc. I played my picture disc of Dance of Death and it sounded better than remembered so have cancelled my orders. I may buy if the price comes down but they're too expensive right now.

Ooh, ooh. Definites- The Final Frontier. A favourite and my pic disc doesn't play well. Dance of Death. A special/personal record to me and, again, my pic disc is poor. Brave New World. Never had the vinyl before. Excited for this. Maybes- Matter of Life and Death. My pic disc plays quite...

I've got all the studios now. They've a working class charm that lets them get away with standard rockers. It's Biff's vocals that win me over. I enjoy the new stuff, but admittedly there are dry spells. Battering Ram is patchy. Sacrifice is strong overall. Call To Arms is one of their best, up...

Such is life. Sad but true. It's like a rocket firework. The initial 5 albums are hugely exciting as the rocket rises at considerable speed(Ooh!) culminating in an agreeable explosion(Ahh!) with PS-7th. Then the fall begins and disappointment sets in, but we still have strong directional...

An exciting time that was. I was stinking up the official bb (free!) loving BNW. I've enjoyed all of the reunion stuff bar the absolute garbage that is TBOS. Life's too short. It's fun watching the jumbo on YouTube though.

Their initial releases of ep's and the first two lp's were based on traditional ghost stories and the third lp was a new story of their own, again about ghoulies. But This is no Fairytale , as the title suggests, is about the horror of child abuse, told from the victims perspective. Hence the...

You'd never believe me. I like all of Metallica's albums. Top tier, I can happily listen to every track - Justice, Death Magnetic and Lulu. Middle group are records I used to fully enjoy but over familiarity and my ageing has taken the shine off a bit. Undeniable classics though - 1st 3 and...

I have a theory about the track order, but it's best left unsaid. Otherwise it could be down to lengths of songs and getting them to fit nicely on the vinyl. Dream is 6'29'', Savage 6'30'' so nothing in it there, but side D inherits lengthy Revenge(7'17'') from side C which fits better with...

Now I've got vinyl in hand I must say it sounds and looks great. I'm not sure where to rank it as I'm very fond of all their releases, but this is high. Much higher than I originally thought after the leak. The track order on the vinyl is better than the cd; Savage 5th on disk 1 instead of Dream...

I like Atlas, but all the tracks sound very generic to me. How many riffs did they have? Minus Kirk's phone obviously...mmm. It's looking like their worst effort with no new interesting stuff. (BOS pt2 ;) ) Metallicheese.
