    Cheap Trick (Official Thread)

    Count me in as a massive fan of Cheap Trick. Sadly, I've only seen them live once back in 1988 when they opened for Robert Plant at the Providence Civic Center.

    Definitely didn't know about that. Hell, I didn't even know this album existed until I saw it yesterday.

    I picked up the Rik Emmett solo CD Absolutely and the Stone Fury album Let Them Talk on cassette today. The latter will become an article in my Cassette Chronicles series down the road.

    My Top 10 (okay...11) CDs of 2024!

    It is an extremely rare occurrence when I like a harsh or cookie monster vocal. So yeah, those ones weren't even going to get a 2nd glance. I'm glad you liked the DiAnno album. I've never gotten into his stuff post-Maiden.

    My Top 10 (okay...11) CDs of 2024!

    Another album I just didn't have time to get to. Time and money limit what I listen to sadly.

    My Top 10 (okay...11) CDs of 2024!

    Cool that we have Judas Priest in common. The Moggs Motel and Riot V albums were on my buy/listen to list but I never got around to more than the first song they put out a video clip for.

    Warren Zevon (Official Thread)

    I am a huge fan of Warren Zevon. One of my favorite artists all-time (regardless of genre) and definitely one of the coolest songwriters ever.

    Review CD Review - HammerFall - Avenge the Fallen

    I've only heard 3 or 4 albums so I can't really rank with much authority. I liked this one but by no means assume it is their best ever.

    Review CD Review - HammerFall - Avenge the Fallen

    HAMMERFALL Avenge the Fallen Nuclear Blast Records - 2024 My music collection does contain a couple of HammerFall albums including the Legacy of Kings album which I absolutely love. But I think it would be fair to describe me as pretty much a casual fan...at best. Then a couple years ago, I...

    Review CD Review - Todd Michael Hall - Off the Rails

    Thanks for the video clip. That's a damn good cover version of the song.

    Review CD Review - Saxon - Hell, Fire and Damnation

    I think I'm just a teensy bit more partial to Carpe Diem but I do really like this album a lot as well.

    Review CD Review - Saxon - Hell, Fire and Damnation

    SAXON Hell, Fire and Damnation Silver Lining Music - 2024 With the addition of Diamond Head guitarist Brian Tatler to the lineup, Saxon has once again turned up the volume for their 24th studio album Hell, Fire and Damnation. The opening track "The Prophecy" is just under 2 minutes long and...

    Whats the last FULL ALBUM you listenend to?

    Like Catfish, I listen to an album in full when writing a review. I'll be posting my review of the Saxon album Hell, Fire and Damnation here on the CRF in a bit.

    Review CD Review - Bruce Dickinson - The Mandrake Project

    BRUCE DICKINSON The Mandrake Project BMG - 2024 The Mandrake Project, the seventh solo album from Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson, has taken a long and winding road with me since it was originally released back in March. While I'm a fan of both his solo work and Iron Maiden, the first...

    Review AC/DC- Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap (1976, 1981 in U.S.) *** 1/2

    Nice write up on the album! I had my own thoughts that I wrote up about 3 years ago or so. If you are interested, here's the link.

    Review CD Review - Accept - Humanoid

    Accept Humanoid Napalm Records - 2024 With the immediate intro for the song "Diving into Sin" providing a cinematic vibe, the Accept album Humanoid gets off to quite the dramatic start. After that opening, the more forceful metallic pacing kicks in and gives both the song and the listener a...

    Nicko McBrain retires

    Sorry to see him go but at 72 years old and coming off some serious medical issues, I can't hold his retirement against him. 42 years is a good damn long run. The band has announced Simon Dawson from Steve Harris's British Lion band as their new touring drummer.

    The Cassette Chronicles

    They aren't always straight up reviews. If I have stories that tie into the album or something related to when the album came out, then I tell a story as well as put in some minor thoughts about the music as well. Or when someone has passed away, I might write about an album they were a part of...

    Review CD Review - Todd Michael Hall - Off the Rails

    Did you ever listen to the Reverence albums? I heard one of them and it was my first experience listening to Todd Michael Hall. Oddly enough, I really didn't care too much for that album.

    Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band (Official Thread)

    I'm a big fan of Bob Seger and have a lot of his material. There's so much good music to choose from and I'm glad that there's actually still some for me to discover once I (if I) complete my collection.
