The band being around since 1974 have survived from all the music genres from the eighties since now, with only downtime in 1991 when they called it a day to reunite 4 ...

The Rolling Stones – Exile On Main St. (Deluxe Edition)
Sounds too clean. That’s the short version of this review. Exile On Main St. is of course one of the legendary rock albums and one of the greatest of all time. Most critics consider it to be the Stones’ finest hour (although I prefer Sticky Fingers and Let It Bleed myself). Most of it was famously recorded in ...

Cathedral – The Guessing Game
Cathedral is one of these bands that are so iconic in their field (in this case doom metal), that it’s very difficult to assess their albums objectively. It would be easy to say “if you like Cathedral, you ‘ll like The Guessing Game“, but things are never as simple as that. Despite their unmistakable sound, ...

Darkthrone – Circle the Wagons
A friend was breaking my balls for years to listen to Darkthrone and I kept telling him that this music (black metal) it’s not for me – not for me until now anyway. Now that I have downloaded Circle the Wagons and after ten hearings I so desperately wanna go and bye it. I was ...

Bullet for My Valentine – Fever
Generally I consider my self open minded when it comes to music genres that are in fashion. As for Bullet for My Valentine – never were they able to put me out of my boredom. Their first record The Poison was boring, their second attempt Scream Aim Fire was boring x 100 and their newest ...

Coheed and Cambria -Year of the Black Rainbow
Year of the Black Dragon is the bands fifth studio album. The album is also a concept album taking its story from the Amory Wars comic series. This album chronologically is a prequel to the band’s previous four concept albums. Musically, it doesn’t have so many differences from the bands previous albums. The same amalgam of ...

Crashdiet – Generation Wild
Crashdiet is without a doubt one of the best rock bands out there. After the death of their singer Dave Leppard every body was in shock – not only for the loss of a hell of good voice but also ‘cause the future of the band seemed a little unstable at the time. Fortunately The ...

Elliot Smith – XO (reissue)
Seriously one of the best albums ever! XO released 26 August 1998 is in my opinion Elliot’s best work. Thank those money-thirsty agents for re-releasing it in a 180 gram vinyl, the format I always wanted it but could never find. In the music part I could write pages about Elliot’s majesty and musical genius ...
