NOW PLAYING

Helloween - Giants & Monsters

I really enjoy it, the previous one too, but not to this extent, it's an easier listen. 7 out 10 for me songs is great. Only 2 are much weaker than the others (Tokyo and Moonlight), it's really noticeable. They are really highlighting the melodies here, instead of riffs, like Maiden. :rocker:

My favorite song is A Little Is A Little Too Much. Or We Can Be Gods. I'm a big fan of half of the album.

Btw, only 3 longer songs (6-8 minutes) and overall faster material - this is probably what an 80's inspired Maiden album could be today, and liked.

So far, I only knew two great Toto tracks: Africa and Rosanna. But now, on Letovia’s radio, I heard a third one—Hold the Line. Solid AOR. A little bit Bostonesque?

...and there's zero shame in listening holding the line!
Dude you´re in for a treat! Toto has alot of great songs. Some more AORish, other power ballads, sometimes jazzy intermezzo´s. Great musicians and always top notch production.
Their first albums until Isolation are recommended. The double disc Africa:The Best Of (from Camden records) is a fantastic and cheap compilation with all their biggest hits and great album tracks.

Just saw Toto live last week and they were great! Steve Lukather rocks when he wants to but of course they played great ballads as well
 
Iron Maiden - The Broadcast Collection

(Another Life from disc 2 1981 Tokyo has the drum intro same as studio version (unlike Beast On the Road live version) as well as Clive Burr drum solo in the middle of the song!;
found this at a local music store here on the way to see Bruce live few nights ago )
