It had no ups and downs to my ears. Pretty much flattened out. I‘d prefer Powerage over Power Up though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A friend gave it to me and I hated it. “Sabotage” gets a lot of shade thrown at it due to the prog-keys of Rick Wakeman. “Hole in the Sky”...sheeit. Who swings harder than Bill Ward?

BruceM 1,582 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) After watching 20 Feet From Stardom (highly recommended!), I started looking up the performers' music. I listened to Claudia Lennear's album the other day. It's got a great early 70s vibe. Edited December 1, 2020 by BruceM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alantig 1,058 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Tim Minchin's new CD, "Apart Together", is pretty much a perfect album, IMO. He's best known for his comedic songs, and this is his first studio album. Great turns of phrase, dude is a great pianist, and there are some great pop hooks and choruses here. First single, video is all one shot. And a beauty about resisting temptations. I especially love the line about Pringles and Snickers wrappers, and the one about the devil tempting Jesus.

RobB 6,083 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Fairly brutal, 5-song live EP from Germany, 1986. WTF happened to this band? Oh yeah, I remember: Awful, suck-ass singers. Still, hard to deny the, "machina brutilicis" of the Benante/Ian combo. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobB 6,083 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Really great, 14-song set from Perkins Palace, Pasadena, CA. In comparison to, "On Your Feet..." and, "Some Enchanted Evening", the vocals are stronger, better mixing and BOC heavies up, "Burnin' For You", and other mid-career favorites. Buck plays his ass off on, "Roadhouse Blues." 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobB 6,083 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Warner Bros. have done a great job with the VH reissues. This sounds way punchier (drums/bass) than my CD version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobB 6,083 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Lemmy's first post-Hawkwind release. Despite Lemmy's odd disclaimer (see below), this stands up. Larry Wallis is no Eddie Clarke, but I love the slower, druggier versions of later Motorhead ravers. Edited December 6, 2020 by RobB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RobB 6,083 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 My fave Bon-era record. Tight, raw production, it's got the goods. I still get verklempt when I hear, "Gone Shootin'." 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobB 6,083 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Where does a newly-unemployed, Deep Purple singer go with his walking papers? To this awesome band. They fell through the cracks, unfortunately. Great debut LP 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobB 6,083 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Growing up in SoCal made me never want to hear these Garden Grove boys ever again. I got a reissue, 2xLP of, "Smiley Smile", last year and the ban was lifted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobB 6,083 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Early Accept. Like, "Breaker", they're finding their footing between sounding like AC/DC, Scorpions and Judas Priest. Cruncholis Maximus... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
