I like Ronnie, will definitely give this one a listen.

Mildly I interested if Alex and Mat helped with the songwriting.

I read online that Mike Slamer recorded a lot of the guitars and solos on Warrant's DRFSR. Whilst on Wikipedia it noted that only the original 250,000 copies of the album had the original version of Heaven. I did a quick search on YouTube and couldn't find anything. Anyone have it, can link to it? Just curious to hear the difference.

Oh Stefan.....Have you learnt nothing? Wikipedia him and start listening to some of his music!

Great list, great year....Although I never got into King's X.

Yeah, interesting, because I love it more with each spin. Yeah, I thought it was underwhelming on the first few spins. I'm such a huge fan of the back catalog and also Coupe that I left it in the car for a few months. One of the greatest bands of all time with some of my favourite songs ever, and also the band that made the best comeback after a long hiatus. Must have listened to it around 50 times by now and I honestly think it's not very good. Throw in some 'expectation' and I have to say it's one of the biggest disappointments in recent history. I might post my thoughts in the Treat thread to explain. I've deliberately not listed to it for a couple of months and now given it 5 spins again with fresh ears and I don't get why it's pretty much one of the top 3 CDs from last year according to most on this site. I also defended it's title when the album was announced......wrong....I now think it fits perfectly and was the warning that many predicted!

OMFG this is the worst news ever. The selfish side of me just thinks of all that music thats been written that I'll never hear eg. Romanovs....... Condolences to his family, friends and all the musicians he worked with over the years.

Welcome....Maybe we should add a WATCH section to up the user base and appeal to the kids...Umm oldies...Whatever!

For me that Treat stands out. I'm disliking it more and more.

RE: Rob Zombie....Man, who'd have thought he make some good movies and after 3 if them I was backing each new one to be great but since then he's been a terribly steep downward spiral....

Love the start, then I skip after the first chorus. They needed to go back to the start and strip it back and build again after the first chorus. Then again I seem to be one of a few these days not loooooving everything these days. Looks like I need to go into Facebook as well to get myself the right opinion? ?

A couple of horror movies: Lights Out - good if you like Asian horror style movies. Even scarier if you have kids. Hush - One of those intruder movies but a bit different as the lead female is deaf. Both recommended.

Fkn shitheads! Need to trust your judgment. If you blocked in the past just leave it. Too many tools to keep track of ?

Cool. I just wish I had your money. All you guys always buying the Japanese pressings: how do you afford it? Do what I do, only by the good albums and not the albums you want to be good. Mine should be arriving soon along with Eclipse and a couple of others.

I know we've discussed this many a time, but I still don't get your hate for that album. Just sounds like every other Martensson album to me It's just safe, boring songs. Listen to it back to back with Eclipse. He hasn't thrown one decent meaty riff into the Nordic Union album, whereas they're on every Eclipse song. There is not one hook on the albums (bar that wonderful ballad) that is anything more than straight forward and basic... and just sounds bored to me. Compare the chorus hooks alone to Eclipse, or Hitchcock or something. Like I said all along, the reason I am probably more disappointed with it than other similar releases is because Atkins is a great song writer himself. He doesn't need someone writing songs for him, and for the most part he could have done much better or at least as good. It's just the safest I've heard Martensson go. "Falling" is one of the best songs in the last 15+ years, for me anyway.Me too 'Falling' would be one of my least favourite tracks on the album. The chorus is soooo banal. It sounds like he wrote a song like that 15 years ago in school at lunch time or something. Sorry dudes... I don't hate the song... I just really, really don't get the praise for something I find so average. Lonely opinion A little less lonely. The NU album falls flat for me. There's nothing on there that ranks in the best tracks since 2002!

I won't use it for that reason. It's helped kill the industry but it was going to happen anyway due to the quality and convenience of the digital age. I deliberately avoid using it and check out YouTube if I'm on the fence about purchasing an album so that Spotify gets nothing from me. Sure the bit of spit they send down to the artist is lost but I don't think it's relevant because I'll either not purchase it, or will buy the physical media. These types of services are just too convenient, cheap and entrenched. They won't go away and I imagine artists will just get less and less over time as Spotify have to keep growing an ever larger catalog.

Awesome stuff. Need more of it!

Yep, cool flick and much better than any of the Bond films!

Agreed, I would to but once she started with the 'give it to me big boy' in that voice I'd be out the door in a flash!

Sweet

But it depends on why you are rating an album - fair enough if you are just rating an album to catalogue everything do what you like. But you cant just throw up 2 summaries as an argument that you like TS more when on average the 10 best songs are on Rocketride - it makes no sense to any of us. Peace out. One thing is obvious in all of this. We need more titties in CD booklets!

Finally a band releasing an acoustic track of a song from another album so you don't end up with 2 of the same songs on the one CD.

Ron Jeremy did music too? Weird stage name. This looks absolutely amazing!! What is it? Must be James Murphy's solo album before he joined Obituary!

Yeah I don't get the ratings things at all. 10 tracks max I reckon and if there albums with 11 or more great songs they should get additional recognition coz you didn't have to drop a song.

I thought it was crap. +1
