Classic Rock Standards - Nice (The)

Advantages: Lots of hits, great sound quality, one of the best bands ever
Disadvantages: Short playing time, not as good as "Rock In Rio"

...To The Hills", are nice supplementes for a one-time enjoy, but you forget them quickly. Because fundamentally, "Rock In Rio" remains the standard, the best Maiden live document there can ever be. So concerning setlist and atmosphere, the 2001-album can not be reached. But the band is playing tight and well experienced, is ruling the audience and leaving all doubts of their technical play. Above all, the soloparts of Dave Murray and Adrian Smith are blowing me away every time. The short playtime is okay, with the band members reaching 50 years soon. For this, they prove impressively that they're getting better and better. Making music for more than 25 years, they can select from a huge fundus of hits, which shows that Iron Maiden are still one of the greatest Heavy Metal bands ever. Up The Irons! 1. Wildest Dreams 2. Wrathchild 3. Can I Play... Read review

Advantages: Ambient and mellow......hard and rocky!
Disadvantages: Don't think so!!

...Truely, the deftones have become one of the few bands who's albums i will actually buy. The album is worth every penny. Every song is great, with a nice blend of hard rock, mellow tunes, or some nice alt. stuff with some classic riffs. Mr. Morenos vocals are excellent and so varied....and the limited edition cd's are cool. Especially the media section with some photos and a video clip! This whole band is really something special, sure they aren't going to set the top ten alight, but thats not what the music is there for. Its for real music lovers, with a passion for excellent music.... Read review

Advantages: Good collection of their hits.
Disadvantages: Can get v. repetitive and drab.

..., reminiscent of Aint talking about love, it kicks in with a gritty rock riff that sounds kinda similar to Steve Vai’s – the attitude song. The song is pretty standard to some van Halen’s stuff, but overall is a pretty good song, following the happy rock formula they are famous for with harmony vocals. 04 – Learning to see A lightly distorted guitar comes in, and it sounds almost Hendrixy crossed with Steve vai in a weird sense, before launching in to a monster of a metal riff. The song progresses with a soft mellow verse with dominant lyrics. The chorus is over crowded with too much back ground instrumental, and probably would have been better off with a little less ambience. The lyrics however are the strong point, melodic and nice J 05 – Ain’t talking bout love A classic right out of the box, the opening riff is air guitar fantastic! (you can... Read review

Advantages: All the greats, 2 new songs,
Disadvantages: You may already have these songs!

...If you like Green Day then you must have this album. Green Days International Superhits is nothing short of a punk-fest extravaganza! This Album contains all the top songs spanning from the albums Nookie up until Warning. These include the classics from Welcome to Paradise, Basket Case, Geek Stink Breath, Nice Guys Finish Last, Warning, Minority and many more classics. What grabbed me more about this Album is the way Billy Joe, Tre and Mike all created that Punk-Rock feeling that just makes you wanna join in and play it as loud as ya can! This is a product that no Green Day fan should not be without this in there collection! Plus there are two new songs on this album! Get This NOW!... Read review
