Whitesnake release brilliant new album shock!

Advantages: It's the best Whitesnake album in 20 years!
Disadvantages: It might be their last!

...was still a very very good album, but sadly nothing since has been worthy of the Whitesnake name. Until now that is.... This album straddles the old and the new(er) versions of the band and picks from the best of both worlds. The current band has something that was missing from the late 80's and 90's band line-ups - and that something is 'soul'. This band has a feel for the blues that previous guitarists including the widdly widdly king Steve Vai, ...
...a couple of very good ballads, in the style that only David Coverdale can do.... and that voice... oh yeah, he may be well in his mid 50's but that voice is still in very fine fettle indeed. Sounding more mature, as it should do, perhaps a wee bit deeper and more resonant than the early years, there must be a good few years left in this beast yet! All I can say is, if you're at all a fan - buy it, you won't be disappointed! The tracks - 1. Best ...

Review of Good To Be Bad - Whitesnake

WHITESNAKE SLIP OF THE TONGUE

Advantages: a good mix of ballads and hard rock tunes
Disadvantages: not everyones cup of tea

...tunes like Slide it in, Slip of the tongue, kittens got claws to name just a few. On this album David asked Steve Vai to play lead guitars, the latin american instrumental seven string axe wizzard sertainly does play some mean guitar solos and melodies. Steve Vai and Adrian Vandenburg sertainly made this a very enjoyable album. Look out for Steve Vai Sex And Religion album, which has the Whitesnake lads as guests. Whitesnake is not everyones cup ...

Review of Slip Of The Tongue - Whitesnake

THE RISE

Advantages: The first of a two part album
Disadvantages: You have to buy two separate albums

...is very unusual. The Neon God Part 1 subtitled The Rise (the second installment subtitled The Demise) is a 14 track cd that tells the story of a young orphan (Jesse Slane) who has been abused by the nuns that run the orphanage he is incarcerated in. Each of the 14 tracks charts a part of the story as the young orphan tries to come to terms with his own existence, the abuse he is suffering, the hypocrisy of religion, the discovery of the power of ...
...will worship him as the Neon God. Each Track is loaded with classic W.A.S.P riffs that meld seamlessly with front man Blackie Lawless unique and unforgettable vocals, creating modern symphony that carry's on from track to track. The tracks get better and better as they progress through the album culminating with The Raging Storm which will bring you out in goose bumps. Although there are 14 tracks four of them (2. why am I here, 5. why am I nothing, ...

The Best Of The Best - Whitesnake

Advantages: Amazing Songs , Voices...
Disadvantages: -

...6/10. It isn't the the best song , but it has some great lyrics , and backing use and the voices are sublime. Then again , it is a slower more boring song after you have listened to it a few times over... This song runs for 4.37 minutes , another long track!!!... 17. Still Of The Night Now we have come to the final song on the album!!!... Whitesnake leave us with one great whopper of a heavy metal rock song. The lyrics are so well and strongly ...
...purple with the writing "The Best Of Whitesnake". It has the picture of a Whitesnake inside where the CD is placed with a black background , i find this album art really interesting!! Whatever the way you buy this album , you WON'T be dissapointed.. My top five suggested songs are - And in at number one ... 1. Fool for your loving ... 2. Love ain't no stranger... 3. Now your gone... 4. Here i go again... 5. Don't break my heart again ... ...

Review of Best Of Whitesnake, The - Whitesnake

The Crimson Idol- WASP

Advantages: Its power to invoke emotion
Disadvantages: Its power to affect your mood.

The Crimson Idol is a beautiful album, which fluctuates between powerful emotions of melancholy, rage and frustration. As a concept album it is dark and depressing. It makes you feel for the character of Jonathan as he deals with beatings from his father, fear, being ignored, running away, his own mocking reflection in the mirror, insanity, the words of a gypsy fortuneteller. The machinations of Chainsaw Charlie, His rise to fame and his fall from ...
...Roktor. The album sweeps in with the aptly named Titanic Overture and ends on a long melancholy reprise track. I love this album, if you like raw emotions in your music; this is what you are looking for because the angst filled tracks come fast and furious from the start ...
