AlphaMale 87 Platinum Records and a Drug Addiction to Match

This thread is dedicated to cds that are great/awesome, but most people have never heard.

 

My first one: Impellitteri "Crunch"

 

Listened to this last night and this album is just amazing. Came out in 2000 with the awesome Yngwie-like guitar licks from Chris Impellitteri and the amazing soaring vocals of Rob Rock. Just a killer collection of metal songs with great choruses. The only Impellitteri disc that really hit me.

 

Anybody else a fan of this disc? What other discs out there do you feel are great that you think not many other people have heard?

 

My favorites from "Crunch":

I'm huge fan of Chris, but not very much of this disc. My faves are answer to the master+ screaming symphony + first EP

I am about to check out their whole discography. I heard the Graham Bonnet discs are brought down by his terrible vocals. Also heard they had another singer besides Rob Rock on a disc or two. Going to check them all out.

Yeah, "Answer to the Master" is awesome! Nice call on Chris Impellitteri. I'd say he's far better than Yngwie Malmsteen. Yngwie makes noise, while Chris makes music.

Grin and Bear 8 for the "power of love"? Godly track. I'd wished my favorite ones were also released on vinyl, like this one.

I say the same album everytime a thread like this comes up, but each time it seems to gather at least one new fan, so hopefully this is no exception. I know it's impossible to get these days, but one of my all time favourite discs:

 

Silly Fools - The One (English Version)

Which is why it only gathers one new fan. How the hell can I love an album I can't seem to find? Anywhere.

Don't know how easy it is to find their stuff, but if you can get the album Shoot Me, do yourself a favour and pick it up!

The Outfield ... their first three albums are all fantastic, if you ask me - quality pop-rock - but even though they're a London band, no-one I know here in the UK has ever heard of 'em :(

      Thunder reissues part 2

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I wonder what control they have over the releases? That have promoted the BMG individual releases. The 2009 reissues were by original label, EMI. And this boxset seems weird being issued by Cherry Red. And I have not seen the bands social media promote it at all. I wonder if the reason the BMG ones were lacking in the bonus tracks from the previous reissue was EMI holding onto the rights, but have now allowed Cherry Red to release them. I know EMI used to be the distributer for Cherry Red, so they may be more forthcoming with the material.

      Babymetal

      By Captain Howdy · Posted

      I have been a Band Maid fan since their early days (2015) as I really don't mind foreign vocals as long as the music is great, but I always kinda avoided Babymetal as I saw a video of them once and really wasn't impressed with the kiddy vocals, so never gave them another chance. Fast forward to now and on the back of the collab with Electric Callboy I have decided to give them a go. I thought they had a huge discography as they have like 25 albums, but on closer inspection it is only four studio albums and 21 live albums. As I am not a fan of live albums anyway, I decided to buy the four studio albums as they are all quite cheap. Have to say there music is a mixed bag, but overall really enjoying a lot of it. Not sure if I just picked the wrong song to start with, or if it is just that I have adapted more due to getting into a lot of weird and wonderful foreign bands over the last few years, but I am glad I finally gave them a proper go. Have to say, if this song was sung in English I think they would have a lot of fans on here
