In flames, might be best thing for it.
Advantages: Some accomplished bits. Disadvantages: Screaming and samey drum beats.
In Flames - Come Clarity
Yet another of my 14 year old (next months) son's offerings which he insists 'You must listen to this dad'. This is by no means my longest review as I am not going to 'fill' when I have not much to say.
Wikipedia tell me that these are a Swedish melodic death metal band.....not a good start, however, being am open minded dad I thought I should give them a a go. Though I do fail to see how Death Metal can be melodic, ho, ... ...5. Scream 6. Come Clarity 7. Vacuum 8. Pacing Death's Trail 9. Crawl Through Knives 10. Versus Terminus 11. Our Infinite Struggle 12. Vanishing Light 13. Your Bedtime Story Is Scaring Everyone I am not going to review every track as I have to say they are all quite similar. They are fast, drum based songs with some pretty fast and accomplished guitar work, both lead and bass. The vocals go from screaming to well, screaming. The intro drum work on ...

Review of Come Clarity - In Flames

Originality Lyrics Quality and consistency... How does it compare to ... Value for Money |
Maiden Heaven
Advantages: All the best Iron Maiden tracks in one place LIVE! Disadvantages: None
...So what if the second CD is short - the biggies are on the main disc... anything else is a bonus!
If you are looking for something that has the full flavour of Iron Maiden then this is it (far better than Live at Donnington, or the individual albums). ...

Iron Maiden - Rock In Rio
Advantages: Amazing live CD Disadvantages: Hard to lay your hands on in some cases
...live repertoire recorded at the rock in rio festival in front of a live audience.
The CD opens to the awesome "wicker man" and progresses through the monumental hits including "Fear of the Dark", "Run to the Hills", "Iron Miaden" and the and the epic "Hallowed be thy Name" .
The album is essentially a fundraising effort for a multiple sclerosis charity, as Maiden\'s drummer suffers from the disease, and for this effort the band should be applauded.

20 of Maiden's greatest tracks all on one album
Advantages: A fantastic album Disadvantages: None
...of almost 70,000 for this live recorded album.
This is a personal favourite of mine and one of the most played albums of my collection. It features 20 classic Maiden songs across 2 discs and really brings the atmosphere of the event into your room. It features the timeless classics of Fear Of The Dark, The Number of the Beast, Wrathchild, Can I Play With Madness, The Evil That Men Do, Run To The Hills, 2 Minutes To Midnight, Iron Maiden, The Trooper ... ...and still gets a strong audience reaction whenever played.
It also features the not so well known or not so often played songs of Be Quick or Be Dead, From Here To Eternity, Wasting Love, Tailgunner, Afraid To Shoot Strangers, Bring Your Daughter.... To The Slaughter, The Clairvoyant, Heaven Can Wait, Sanctuary and Running Free
The whole album is packed with energetic riffs and features a selection of their strongest songs that gets everyone up ...

Review of Live At Donington 1992 [Remastered] [ECD] - Iron Maiden

A Fairly Terrible Quite Good Live Album
Advantages: A nice smattering of rare live songs on disc one. Disadvantages: Inferior alternative to 'Live at Donington' in every way.
...works collected together 1993's 'A Real Live One' and its not-very-long-awaited successor 'A Real Dead One' into this sensible single volume, with a fairly ridiculous title. The two separate entities compliment each other excellently, as a deliberate decision was clearly made to memorialise the band's extensive (even at this point) history, while at the same time acting as an unofficial farewell tour for singer Bruce Dickinson, who had announced ... ...reaches its peak on 'A Real Dead One,' originally the second half of the collection but rearranged to come chronologically first on this re-release, as he completely butchers favourites from the band's first five albums. While this flaw could be generously overlooked, as it can for the excellent 'Live at Donington' show recorded around the same time, the problems sadly don't end with Dickinson.
Although more recent live releases rival this collection ...
