“I’m just letting you know; I was holding back…it may get worse…” TITLE TRACKS are not always the ultra-obvious, one trick pony they’d seem to be. Sometimes it IS ultra-obvious and is smack dab in the middle of the chorus where it belongs, sometimes only one of the words might be included in the chorus, and still other times “the chorus is not expl…

“If Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell…” You’ve heard of movies based on books, but what about albums based on books?

We got a little out of control and went far beyond the “appetizers” section, to the point that there was no “meat” to skip to (in terms of a docket), primarily because we had a lot to talk about: albums ahead of their time, new Olympic competitions, and a whole host of other things (including our potential 9/11 Head-To-Head Death Match teaser…).

“Do you know how many burps I edit out?” EXODUS have been blessed with the almost uncanny gift of delivering absolutely devastating opening tracks on every album they’ve ever done.* There’s simply nothing like the “violently articulate” manifestations of Gary Holt’s riff wizardry to fuel the intensity of how blisteringly killer the opener (not to m…

Imagine being in a record store, just flipping through the LED ZEPPELIN section of albums on November 8, 1971, and finding an album that appeared unfamiliar, mysterious, and perhaps even a bit out of place.

(METHOD OF DESTRUCTION), the crossover thrash patriots that emerged following the end of S.O.D. with a similar sense of politically incorrect humor, biting social commentary, and a more hardcore infused thrash sound than S.O.D. (Stormtroopers of…

Summary: AC/DC’s follow-up to Back In Black, 1981’s FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK (WE SALUTE YOU), seems to have a heavier, darker, and doomier vibe than its legendary, multi-platinum predecessor.
