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 ...

Dave Mustine is backkk !!

Advantages: Metal is still alive. A good Album
Disadvantages: Same old story, han?

Megadeth is Dave Mustaine. Everybody in the metal scene knew that he the one who helped Metallica and how he got kick from it. From that he always try to beat Metallica but luck is not in his side. Apart from being a one time junkie Dave Mustaine is formally known for his political Statements. He a rebel. Megadeth is the voice for Dave Mustaine. This Anthology is more likely a compilation of Megadeth along the years. From The first album 'Kiling ...
...listen to 35 track in this anthology that is chronological in order to make the listeners feel hoe Megadeth changes their sounds and songs during the years. From the trashy-speed-post-punk-metal sounds to the more technical oriented sounds Megadeth seems to have it all. Listening to Megadeth reminds me how serious is Dave Mustaine being near to commercial success but never get it. Megadeth song literally are songs about fights for what rights, being ...

Obsession; it certainly is!

Advantages: Good, good and good
Disadvantages: It ends.

Produced back in 1978, Obsession was recorded after their panicle studio album "Lights Out" and whilst not a big hit like its predecessor, Obsession remains a classic album from the UFO discography. After the success of "Lights Out" UFO once again packed their brand new album with another heavy dose of good old hard rock, keyboards and catchy tunes which influenced the likes of Iron Maiden, Megadeth and Metallica to name but a few. This was to be ...
...the big hit UFO would have liked, Obsession has, over time, matured to become one of the classic albums of the hard rock driven 70s (and 80s!). It isn't too heavy, isn't too 'cute' and doesn't leave you wanting more. A must buy album for the collection! ...

Curl up by the fire.....

Advantages: Awsome spine chilling vocals
Disadvantages: not very upbeat

...are well known for their ballads and this album brings all the best together in one volume. Luke Morley's songwriting prowess shines through in every song - from the acoustic led "Better man" (with Luke showing even MORE talent playing a harmonica intro) to the more upbeat power-ballad "Castles in the sand". Every track has awsome lyrics, wonderfully delivered by singer Danny Bowes, who has one of the best voices in rock, this album show Danny's ...

A Great Introduction To A Great Band

Advantages: Great songs, great riffs, great vocals
Disadvantages: A few average tracks

This greatest hits collection shows what a versatile, original and underrated band Queensryche are. Opening with the heavy Queen of the Reich, followed by the melodic The Lady Wore Black, you know straght away that Queensryche are capable of more than just standard heavy metal riffing. Jet City Woman has an incredible bass introduction, fantastic vocals and an anthemic chorus, putting Queensryche above most other bands for power, while also showing ...
...evident on bonus track Someone Else which has some haunting saxophone lines, again elevating Queensryche above the competition. A final mention must go to the incredible vocals of Geoff Tate, who stands alongside Rob Halford of Judas Priest as one of the best rock/metal singers around. Of course, not every track is a classic, but it's definitely worth a listen, because there are some truly great songs on this compilation- songs with a level of originality ...
