I am usually pretty skeptical when it comes to live albums. Something about me has been conditioned to find studio albums as the best you can get. I mean, you get all the best takes. You get awesome layering and effects that are troublesome to reproduce live. And you’re guaranteed the best every time. So why bother with live albums? Well, every so often you get a live album, where the energy of the band is more than the studio track. Where all the extended parts are just brilliant. Where the album is like being there. It’s a beautiful thing;…

I guess if you’re going to pick an album to be better than an Iron Maiden album, you better pick one by Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath is one of the easiest roots to trace to heavy metal’s origins. Their music is dark, heavy and aggressive in varying degrees. The heavy blues-rock they developed would be used as the basis for countless imitators and set a new standard about what music could sound like. As Black Sabbath progressed through the years, they also helped to develop the metal image, doing massive amounts of drugs and women while managing to churn out…

If Metallica was the first band I got a metal album by, I guess Iron Maiden was my first non-Metallica metal band. To be honest, I’m not sure what turned me on to go look for Iron Maiden. They’re not as mainstream as Metallica and I wasn’t into the full blown metal phase just then, so I can’t help but wonder where I heard of them. Nonetheless, I am thankful everyday that Iron Maiden exists. They are what is so great about heavy metal, with this intense melodies loaded with speed and power, a singer full of bravado putting forth…

Ya know, when I was making this list, I didn’t realize I had made such a pocket of metal. But I must admit, it was good timing for these reviews since I’ve been in a metal mood recently (like that Pat Boone album! - http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Mood-More-Mr-Nice/dp/B000005KOE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1244786256&sr=8-1). Anyway, I’m sure it’s no surprise that a metal lover like myself would eventually have a Metallica album on the list. After all, for many of us Metallica was our introduction to metal. Although Metallica’s “Metallica” (aka the Black Album) was the first of their albums that I got, I purchased “Master…

Few things are as metal as the first couple of Slayer albums. Right up to and including “Seasons in the Abyss” they show the ability to make metal everything it was meant to be: fast, evil, and harsh and in any combination imaginable. For some reason, I feel the albums that follow this really must that was great about these thrash legends work, but “Show No Mercy” is a perfect example of how Slayer put their stamp on the era. And of the four “great” thrash albums (Anthrax’s “Fistful of Metal”, Megadeth…

I have been told by a radio host that there are two types of Megadeth fans: those that think “Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying?” is the best Megadeth album and those who think “Countdown to Extinction” is the best. Personally, I like to think I am neither, as I enjoy all their discography (“Risk” excluded). I have pondered the meaning of this and I guess it’s meant to signify the earlier thrash albums versus the more mainstream sound that Megadeth had during this era. I wonder why people worry about this, as if the popularity of…

Motorhead is the first to have a repeat on the list, though certainly not the last. And here I picked what many consider the ultimate Motorhead album, or at least the most recognizable. Like all Motorhead albums, "Ace of Spades" is consistently good because it does not disregard the formula that made Motorhead a band of such longevity: loud, fast and heavy. It is simply the degrees of these elements and the way that they are delivered that changes from album to album.

So I got to thinking about what made this the “classic” Motorhead album. If it…

I have been really searching for a way to accurately review this album. Obviously an instrumental album is harder to really pick apart, especially one like this that has so much virtuosity. I made a good attempt during my review of “The Fountain” OST, but that required knowledge of the movie. Here I will have to go more with my intimacy with the music. I was introduced to "Friday Night in an Francisco" by a friend of mine who seems to like pure technical skill in his music and this album has plenty of that. I…
