RATT all the way. Poison was a Kix copycat.

Pat!!

I already have that one. And I will have the others soon, as well, as I placed my order today!!

Just noticed that the Retrospect website now has the new releases from Reckless, Ron Keel, Mass and Lorraine available.

I guess I won't be bidding....

That's what I hate about the earlier stuff. I love the beefy sound musically, but the lyrics, the ballads and Sweet's voice on the ballads - makes me sick to the stomach. IMO 'Against the law' is easily their finest hour. I actually would rate 'Reborn' 2nd, probably tied with 'In god we trust'. It'd be hard to rank them, but I thought 'Reborn' was a good album. We would probably rate these albums in exact opposite order!

Number

Atomic Arena edging State of Control.

Is there any other choice? I like several somgs from previous albums, but this one kicks ass throughout with only a few fillers. Huge factor for me too - Stryper recorded arguably all of the worst ballads ever, up until this album, where they unleashed possibly my fave Stryper track, 'Lady'. FYI, when I crashed my first car 'Caught in the middle' and 'All for one' blared through the speakers as I stared at the wreckage. Yeah, 'Against the law' by miles. Typical.... We disagree again, Geoff. Next to Reborn, Against the Law is my least favorite Stryper disc. I went with To Hell With the Devil, followed closely by Soldiers Under Command.

How anyone can say "The Elder" is cool and "X" is horrible is a mystery that not even an entire squad of Sherlock Holmeses could figure out. "The Elder" is so bad, it doesn't even deserve to be the yellow, sticky, rancid pus inside the bulging boil on the ass of hard rock. Come on, let us know how you REALLY feel!

I tried listening to Helmet this past few weeks, but it's just not my thing...........

I love this album, always have. This and 'Elder' may as well have been recorded by different bands due to how much better this one is. Okay, I am man enough to admit when I am wrong. I gave this one another spin tonight, and I have to say it is not bad at all. There are several decent songs on the disc. It is NOT NEARLY as lame as Elder.

Went with Rise to It. This one is almost as bad as Elder.

Again with the old account? Incredible... Yeah, hamilton419 is alive and well. She is not selling nearly as many items now, but she still has a few boots listed.

Just wondering what happened with this one..... Especially since Nancy is again a seller on Ebay....

Okay, thanks to many in this thread, I just wasted about 40 minutes relistening to this pile of crap. My original verdict stands: There is ONE good song: "I". There is more crap in this album than in the normal outhouse of the 19th century. Fat Freddy, if you ever get a poll going comparing this album to Def Leppard's X, I may have to give the nod to the latter.

Yeah, just like the album did.

Joe Elliott armpit-farting "God Save The Queen" into a microphone, accompanied by Phil Collen on kazoo, would be a hundred times better than "X" Hear! Hear!

Sounds like a great idea, Fat Freddy!

Wow. Now this one would be tough! Which is more putrid, Kiss' Elder or Def Leppard's X? Sort of like, which stinks more, cow crap or horse crap?

Actually, it's thrash-to-die.

Well, not as disturbing as someone equating collecting cd's with being a drug addict... MUST HAVE MY MUSIC FIX ............................

Is that Dave Weber, AKA metalslaves?

Crap. My least favorite Kiss album ever. One good song: I.

Sam, is this the way it is with ALL his artists? Or are you just more familiar with the Ron Keel situation? I have bought numerous CDs from MetalMayhem, although not nearly the number I have purchased through vegascds and RR. Sam, any additional tracks going on the two Keel re-issues?
