It's a very surprising thing to see Herman Rarebell releasing such a great and'fresh 'rock'n'roll!!So,the Scorpions'fans will be happy enough to listen to the new Scorpions album and get Herman's one as well.
But this album is not adressed only to Scorpions fans,but to every hard rocker.
It's a great album to take with you on your holidays,on the beach or to listen with your girlfriend!!
It's very interesting that Herman sings on 3 tracks!
It's hard for me to pick favorite tracks out of this album and i think that tracks like Let me rock you,Don't loose your trust,Your love is hurting,Freekshow,I'm back,heya heya,are a very good reason to get this album!! I love it!!!!

This album from the late 70's is some of the best hard rock I have ever heard. Simply amazing guitar rock,with really wild ,fast guitar playing by Jim Gustafson. He surprises you with song after good song ,just bursting with impressive playing. The bass and drums are top notch ,too, and could stand up to any other band in thier ability. It is a mystery why this album did not become as big as Cream,Van Halen,Sabbath,Purple,Ac/Dc.ect. Powerful stuff. I love this CD and you will too.

The new Bulletboys - 10ct. Billionaire, is a great disc. The songs are instantly memorable, and the amazing production adds a 1-2 punch to the Bulletboys sound. This is a must have for anyone that loves hard rock! I would liken this comeback disc to Bon Jovi's "Crush", or Europe's "Start from the Dark" releases. It's the same badass backbeat that Bulletboys have always offered...but with a powerful modern punch, that was well worth the wait. Don't hesiate...check it out!

Sure pays to web surf nowadays!! I have come across this Southern Rock/Metal gem from back when rock 'n' roll was real rock 'n' roll and not the cr-- that sells by the millions from lame wannabees who haven't got a clue about great music!!

Hopefully, the fellas from Blackfoot will eventually release a new CD sometime in the nearby future (last album was from back in the 90's!!).

Wishing all the best to these kings of US rock flavoured with a touch of Southern picante!!!

HELL YES...The Lovehammers ROCK!

I received the CD yesterday and can't stop listening to it. It is so happening in today's music world. The re-amped version of Trees is just as good as the version Marty "HOT" Casey sang on Rockstar: INXS.

THIS IS A MUST BUY!

After too many years away from the recording studios, WHITE SNAKE has returned with a damned good album entitled: "Good To Be Bad". I have to say that David Coverdale still has all the talent and vocal agility that you remember from the 80's. This man is down-right inspiring, and it is really great to have him back again! The music is very strong, and the new line-up is very solid and talented. I was very impressed with all of the new songs, and I hope that this album will earn the band some good money. One would be  hard pressed to find a better sounding Rock Band. I will be looking forward to seeing WHITE SNAKE on their next tour. By the way, there is a a limited edition 2-CD version of this album. The second CD contains the bands greatest hits recorded live. And it does sound great.(Be prepared to pay $2 more for the limited edition version). Buy this one and play it loud & often!

I remember seeing HEADSTRONG when they came to Houston,TX for a show at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavillion long ago and they were most excellent.  HEADSTRONG put on a phenomenal performance..  They had very good stage presence!!!!  It's too bad HEADSTRONG isn't around anymore because this CD frigging Rocks!!!!!  I strongly encourage EVERYONE on Earth to support HEADSTRONG and buy this CD!!!!!!!  HEADSTRONG was a very unique and amazing band...  I only wish they were still around, so that I could do some live shows with them/  Sincerely....

I can still remember my excitement the day that I purchased this CD and brought it home to listen to. I could hardly wait to hear what the newly reunited Judas Priest had in store for me on their new album, and I can honestly say that I was not disappointed in the least with what I heard. Angel of Retribution turned out to be one of my favorite Judas Priest albums ever, almost rivaling even the mighty, and my personal favorite, Defenders of the Faith (Still their best album ever, in my opinion.) Yes the King of all singers, Rob Halford had returned to his musical throne and the mighty Metal Gods Judas Priest were back!

From beginning to end, Angel of Retribution is an awesome collection of songs that will go down in history as being one of the biggest and best musical comebacks of all time. Songs like Judas Rising, Demonizer, Wheels of Fire, Hellrider, Angel, and even the long and lumbering Lochness are all amazing tracks that fit right in with the best of the Priest catalog.

I followed Halford's career throughout the years after his departure with Priest in all of it's incarnations (Fight, Halford, and even Two), and I found something enjoyable in all of it, but nothing he did solo sounded as sweet to my ears as his reunion with Priest. It really is a great album and I highly recommend it to all Heavy Metal fans around the world.

Standout Tracks are: ALL OF THEM!

Yes! , Finally Dokken has put out a good Hard Rock CD.  It sounds like the band is finally moving away from the alternametal sounds of their Shadowlife CD and moving closer to their Hard Rock roots. This is the best  that Don Dokken has sounded in long time.  Reb Beech is an excellent  replacement for George Lynch and sounds absolutely great.  This CD is no  Under Lock and Key, but it is easily the best thing this band has done  since Back for the Attack.  I highly recommend this CD.

Hard rock Hank! This is the first Rollins cd I bought (after reading his  books) and it rocks. Mother Superior are an awesome rock band that take  from the classics without ripping them off. I unfortunantly own the  defective version, but it still is a great cd.  Illumination's music suits  the mood of the lyrics, Get Some Go Again is about as straight forawrd as  hard rock can be, On The Day has a sound simaliar to old school RB.  L.A.  Money Train is a great rant and the Brother Wayne Kramer just sweetens the  whole deal.

Re-machined is the perfect tribute to a hard rock album that turns 40 this year and it makes the perfect companion to the 40th Anniversary Immersion boxset that came out recently to boot! Although I wasn't crazy about the Flaming Lips version of Smoke on The Water, every other name band and artist turns in an exceptional and killer performance! I like both the Chickenfoot and Glenn Hughes/Steve Vai versions of Highway Star and I really can't decide which one is better. Michael Anthony's bass playing and vocal screams are jaw dropping and I like that Steve Vai paid tribute to Jon Lord by playing a harmonized, Brian May-like version of Lord's Made In Japan organ introduction. And Glenn Hughes is a vocal dynamo on the song as well as on Maybe I'm A Leo. Metallica's version of When A Blind Man Cries is a real treat while BLS sound amazing on Pictures Of Home and Zakk Wylde's vocals have never sounded better. It is a great listen from start to finish, and I have to say it again that it makes a great companion set to the 40th Anniversary Machine Head remaster set. Re-machined is a tribute album that delivers and you won't be disappointed!

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A COPY OF RELANDED WITH THE CURIOSITY OF WHETHER THE BAND WAS ANYTHING LIKE BYFORDS SAXON, WITH TWO ORIGINAL MEMBERS AND ONE FORMER MEMBER HOW COULD I GO WRONG. I WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THE BREATH OF FRESH AIR THE BAND HAS GIVEN TO THE OLD SAXON TUNES. VOCALIST JOHN 'WARDI' WARD GIVES THE THE SONGS A BOOST WITH THE SHEER POWER AND GRIT IN HIS VOICE. THE RAW AWESOME POWER OF THE RHYTHM SECTION BRINGS SOME OLD METAL CLASSICS BANG UP TO DATE. THUS PROVING GRAHAM OLIVER AND STEVE 'DOBBY' DAWSON WERE THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE CLASSIC SAXON HITS. CAN'T WAIT FOR NEW STUDIO ALBUM.  AWESOME!!!!!!!

All you Godsmack fans out there, this is a MUST HAVE!!!  For anyone who isn't yet a fan, now is the time to get "smacked" , you won't regret it.  Sure to be the best HARD ROCK cd this year!!!

INNOVATOR!ON elec/ecclectic/guitarist returns to form. This is a POWER TRIO recording*(for the most part)Larrys not played like this sinceBAREFOOT BOY/OFFERING/1"1th house**(btw,they had a 70th bday reunion/filmed&recorded for rel.:-) /:-) /:-) /!!recently.)There's some hammknd B3 on here as well. This cd has a "jam-like"quality"to it-&-as is typical of Larry,is very inspired. The rhythm section's vg,not great-&-does give pt support for the ideas/emotions expressed here. Coryells' gtr.tone is very electric-almost like Led Zeppelins'Jimmy Page*(on their 1st lp/cd)I really hope this band tours:-) !!or-11th House*(orig.version,w/Randy Brecker/Al. Mouzon/D.Trifan/M.Mandel,who did recent reuniin)Larrys released a lot this yr.also,of great important ,is the incredible"Wonderful,Wonderful",w/B3Maestro. Joey deFrancesco+drmr*(ex-miles Davis"Kinda Blue")Jimmy Cobb.a Astounding disc itself:-) :-) !!!get these.buy,don't illegal download.artist like this can't afford the hit!!!!!it's killing indy labels too. This low quality/"good enough"cultue/attitude willkill music artists.livlihood-not just big record companies. Yes-moneys made at shows now(is y concert prices are higher,btw)but-how long do you think it'll be before this "good enough/lazy culture/low sound culture.decides a UTUBE videos "good enough'&-thus kills the last avenue to make a living$$.INTEGRITY!LIVE!IT!M.Franco/miami

Even better than their last album (which was AWESOME, btw).  If you like Hard Rock that inspires you and motivates you this is all you need.  The band, "Disturbed" is made up of Geniuses!  This is the album with "The Vengeful One" on it.  All the tracks Rock.  I can't say enough about this.

It is so good to have Budgie back delivering quality hard Rock to my ears again. This CD, as with most Budgie CDs, mixes Classic Hard Rock with Melodious Ballads. I just wish the CD was made up entirely of the Harder edged tunes as the majority are KILLER. I enjoyed many of Budgies Ballads from the past (Heaven knows our name/Riding my nightmare/Don't go away etc), but those were all in the 70s, and times have very much changed. If they were to continue this process for their NEXT release (Lets not have another 25 year wait Guys), how about a double album with one disc ROCKING and the other to smooch to? I think Burke's vocals have stood the test of time much much better than any of the other old school Warblers (Plant/Gillan/Ozzy etc) and would have to compare his durability to that of Steve Tyler. Just check out the "Live in San Antonio" CD. His voice really does stand out well considering the songs he performed which required extreme effort. Hey! Just imagine Ian Gillan singing "Child in Time" today in the manner it was sung in 1972. I think not!!
The recommended hard rock tracks you need to check out from the CD are:
JUSTICE/DEAD MEN DON'T TALK (Big time Groover)/FALLIN'/(DON'T WANT TO) FIND THAT GIRL (Great rhytmic feel here)/I DON'T WANT TO THROW YOU (Reminded me a bit of "Sweet Emotion")/I'M COMPRESSING THE COMB ON A COCKERELS HEAD (Just check out Burke's vocals on this one-Wow!)
The Ballads, as has been mentionned, give the CD an uneven feel. This really could have been one Hellbender of an Album, but as we know, Budgie don't waive their rules. Keep on Rockin' Lads, and hope to see you again soon.

I agree with the mates that had reviewed, that this album is darker that the other KOL material, though it is a magnificent piece of work! i just love the way the melody on Caleb's harsh-screamy voice get mixed with the great riffs and bass lines to form this kind of dense hard rock n roll.....just awsome man! a couple of favourites of mine that are examples of what i say, would be indeed "charmer" and "mcfearless", and of course other great songs like the opening song "knocked up" is hypnothic and is a kind of strange country-hard rock melody; and not to forget the great(now UK rock)anthem "Fans"...maan this is an EXCELLENT album of KINGS OF LEON!!!

and for you collectors, this item came in RED VINYL edition..i don't know if it is numbered to just some quantity but i got lucky and got this gem!
