linkin park were once called hybrid theory

Advantages: great music performed live by a great band
Disadvantages: it doesnt show them 100% at their best

...the CD(12 audio live tracks) comes with DVD (17 performance tracks), case, and booklet (10 pages). DVD DIRECTOR: Kimo Proudfoot DVD PRODUCER: Matt Calabiano ALBUM PRODUCER: Josh Abraham Great an up close look at a band who is passionate about their music. The DVD has some off-stage sound bites and lots of on-stage action shots. The bands seems to have the big tough Metallica fans prancing happily in the Mosh Pit throughout the show which ya gotta ...
...time to notice the text and art on the actual CDs themselves - - which is reallly cool. 1. Don't Stay great slow motion footage during the intro. the crowd is immediately into the show. 2. Somewhere I Belong the band showcases their strong vocal talent here. The mix between DJ, guitar, bass, vocals is amazing. 3. Lying From You not mixed very well which is Too bad cos its a really Good song. 4. Papercut vocals get lost in the music here, again. ...

Tight Denim And Fuzzy Long Perms

Advantages: A coming of age album, perfectly polished
Disadvantages: Probably not to be topped again by the band

...when after the gentleness of Hysteria and a soft cuddle with your new fella. It'll either having you reach for the volume knob to turn it up or turn it down. I liked it, simply because it was fun, after such a serious track. It tells you to 'stand up' We're back almost into bop mode again. The last track 'Love and Affection' could have been another 'Hysteria' but it seems to lack something, I think because it sounds so similar. It bares the mark ...
...spoils it. Its again gentle and reflective. It doesn't have the same broodiness of 'Hysteria'. It would have felt better on a follow up album. It's still a good piece to finish an album but not a rock album. They were essentially a commercial rock band unlike others, they had chosen to conform, whether it was to make money or get popular fast. One feels that previous albums, 'On through the night' and 'Pyromania' seemed to be true Def Leppard. One ...

Whitesnakes 30th Anniversary Collection

Advantages: Contains a vast diversity of music from David Coverdale's post Deep Purple carrier
Disadvantages: Nothing, unless you hate Whitesnake (and if you did you wouldn't be reading this)

Whitesnakes 30th Anniversary Collection appears to be a glorified greatest hit album. However it's more than this. Its 52 tracks contain live tracks, the original version of Here I Go Again, songs from David Coverdale's (DC's) album with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and of course songs from DC's solo work. The three CD's cover the carrier of DC after he left Deep Purple. The first disc with tracks like Ready An' Willing and Fool For Your Loving (live) ...
...would say the first disc is best of Whitesnakes blues. The second CD contains the Coverdale Page songs as well as more live songs and a collection of Whitesnake hits. The third CD contains the song Best Years from Whitesnakes latest album and We Wish You Well the song Whitesnake wrote for their audiences but have never preformed live. The songs are very original and truly unique. Overall these three discs are excellent and anyone who likes Whitesnake ...

The forgotten album

Advantages: Truely awesome lyrics and music
Disadvantages: Couldn't name one.

This is possibly my favourite Def Leppard album of all time. It is definately one of the most forgotten albums, only remembered for 'Let's Get Rocked' but it really contains more than that. This was the album compiled just after Steve Clarks death and really had sentimental vaulue to the band. Steve was one of the main contributors to the songs on the album and the album was put out in memory of his creative genius. The inlay of the album has a few ...
...most vulnerable time, looking back on all the times when they should have seen the destruction going on behind the mans eyes. But it was definately never easy. My heart goes out to the band, for coping so well with such a terrible happening. Def Leppard have really had the worst things thrown at them, but always turned them into a life experience, and helped it make them stronger. Anyway, back to the songs! Obviously, the album would start with ...

Magnifique!

Advantages: In parts, this is Thunder at their best
Disadvantages: Misses the trademark humour

...I'm not too displeased to have paid full price for the album. If the ending of this one and the evolution of the sound from "Giving the Game Away" to "Shooting at the Sun" to "The Magnificent Seventh" is to continue, then the next album is going to be immense! ...
