Classic Masters - Quicksilver Messenger Service

Advantages: Flawless Heavy Metal record, technically stunning time signature shifts with occasional classical structuring
Disadvantages: 20 year old production job, could do with a re-mastering

...emerged. Everyone had tears streaming down their faces, full of emotion they just couldn't believe it, couldn't believe that 'Metallica' would be performing 'Master of Puppets' at it's full length, god no even to hear 'Orion' performed live!!! Ok enough of that, I'm just trying to give you all a picture of how it was that night, but anyhow it's time for the review of the album itself. 'Master of Puppets' clocks in at 54 minutes and 47 seconds, considering there are only eight tracks this is a long album. The majority of songs here go way beyond 6 minutes, with some almost up to the 9 minute mark. Despite the length of the songs, there isn't a single boring moment on the album with everything being some sort of high point, whether that be the twisted heaviness of 'The Thing That Should Not Be', the impressive classical time signature...

Advantages: The Beatles
Disadvantages: None

...Prunes’, ‘Quicksilver messenger service’, etc. He wanted Sgt. Pepper to be Dr. Pepper, but there was a soft drink in America with that name. The song is fast, with good guitar riffs and with producer George Martin as an excellent orchestra conductor for the orchestra bits in the middle. The voices of McCartney, Lennon and Harrison singing together almost all the song are great, and the beginning is an example of how to play electric guitar. 'It's wonderful to be here, It's certainly a thrill. You're such a lovely audience, We'd like to take you home with us, We'd love to take you home' Rate: 10/10 2. With a Little help from my friends (Lennon-McCartney): The first song is perfectly joined with this one.

Advantages: Live set of classic Masters Of Reality tunes, with Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri
Disadvantages: None really

...This album brings together the talents of stoner rocks finest to produce a great live album. The band rocks through a great set of material from the whole Masters Of Reality catalogue - although it mainly focuses' on their recent output. Recorded live on their European tour of 2001 with Chris Goss, Josh Homme (QOTSA), Nick Oliveri (QOTSA) and John Leamy. Personally, I love this album. Its is psychedelic stoner rock at its best and i would recommend to any Masters Of Reality fan, as well as anyone wanting to hear some great live music. This is however not the best place to start if you are new to the Masters Of Reality experience - that would be 'Sunrise On The Sufferbus'. Instead it showcases the new Masters of Reality at their best, playing a set of brilliant live music including a selection of songs from their last album 'Deep... Read review
