...When it comes to doing reviews of music, I can focus more on the actual music of the album in a more isolated way, or the band and their previous musical efforts. Unless you are a fan of the band, it seems pointless to write extensively about the previous work aside from drawing a comparison.

A must for anyone who wants to hear some of the guitar shredding neck breaking Heavy Metal classics.... Read review
