Def Leoppard Hysteria (9/10) This is SUCH a moster album. I wanna give it a 10......i want to so bad but it's too long. In my listen. i'd cut. Don't Shoot Shotgun' Run Riot Excitable. Keep everything else. Cause then it's the perfect pop/rock album IMO. the title Track and animals are honestly 2 of my fav songs of the decade. Don't get me started on Gods of War.....so Good!!!! This album is a SHAMELESS pop chart grab. and i say........you get those charts boys, lol Mick

he worked with meat loaf on Bat 3 and even he can't save that steamer, lol. But since then.....MIA but he and Bon Jovi Just clicked IMO. mICK

well like i said 3 tracks i genuinely loved so i can't give it a zero, lol Mick

Bon Jovi-2020 (4/10) Hated this when it came out. it's even more miserable now. First off naming an album 2020 and having it be nearly all topical is just asking for a sucky product. I mean what was he thinking. Nobody i knew wanted to preached this stuff in 2020!!!!! and with age this album looks so stupid, 2nd. Jon's writing partner on this is John Shanks. He's partnered with him since i think 05. and Trust me when i say he's Bon Jovi's worst writing partner. his best writing partners without a doubt were Desmond Child and Sambora. Well Sambora's gone and Child is nowhere to be found here...... should have called him Jon!! So We're left with shanks for most of it and it sucks. As i say preachy bullshit that nobody wanted to hear THEN, lol funny enough the 3 best songs on here......Story of Love, (an actual REALLY good song IMO) Brothers in Arms and unbroken were all Jon solo writes. So what are you doing with Shanks? Last point. Jon's voice is so broken and it's sad. Not a good album. Mick

i like Hysteria a lot But like yea cut a few tracks and it's honestly IMO one of the best hit albums ever made IMO. but it's way too indulgant as is.' Pyromainia got it perfect. Mick

Def Leoppard- Pyromainia (10/10) EP inspired me. this is really a perfect pop/rock album. I respect the band because while a lot some fans were disappointed in the glossy direction......i heard an interview where Joe Elliott was like. "yea we wanted to be big stars fukk you!!!!!" i love the honesty and i think the resulting 2 huge albums were great for the style they wanted. Mick

i love Tuna as EP said. Honestly Roll with the Changes is my fav Reo song. But InFidelity is a better album. Mick

i don't man i always pack earplugs. Ever Since i saw Weird Al. NOW........you wouldn't think al of all people would be too loud but while i had fun. it got to be a bit painful. i was gripping my arm rest tight, lol. i was 14 and after that i was like.....i'm not doing that again so plugs it is, lol Mick

Bon Jovi-Keep the Faith (7/10) I never thought this was as strong as New Jersey. I like The title Track I'll Sleep when i'm Dead In These Arms Bed Of Roses Dry County (the highlight.......maybe of this man's career) The rest......meh. The followup however These Days is my fav album by then. Mick

Didn't they have real cannons on that tour? For theose about to rock.........FIRE!!!!! and.......your deaf, lol it obviously wasn't cannon balls explosives but GOD DAMN, lol Mick

Most average folk i know (i mean not super obsessed music losers like us, lol) only know the hits they had. Actually....nowadays even with the hits REO i'd say is sliding towards relative obscurity. the Only times i hear them is if say Stranger things pulls it out as backgroud music, lol Mick

Hi InFidelty slaps hard. I love that record. it's like 1960's inspired AOR. Mick

Pearl Jam-Dark Matter (5/10) Yea not feeling this one. Production's Terrible. Song's while i like a few....... Wreckage(though it could have been 2 minutes shorter) Waiting for Stevie, Upper Hand.......are mostly boring. And i really liked The last album. this one just slides back to like what they sort of did on Lightning bolt which i found.......better than this but only by a hair. Mick

i think the people down the hall know who ya arrrre!!!!!!!! Mick

Lately. AC/DC and Bon Jovi. Tried ZZ top but to no avail. i do actually enjoy the commercial period more than the 70's classic era......i know sinner, lol. but i'll just stick to those. it's like 2 albums but it's something. Mick
