A couple of the Pantera guys were huge fans of King's X.

Are those the couple of guys who are no longer with us?

I know Dimebag was one of the aforementioned huge fans; I don't recall who else.

I didn't use to notice it much, but it stands out more now I try to listen carefully.  Bruce Springsteen's records are big offenders.  His live recordings and bootlegs are really good and as much as I love his early studio albums they come across as flat in sound (or something!). 

 

bruce later period records sound awful.  Magic is the BIGGEST pile of mush ever.  but see i can overlook it cause the material is wonderful.

Two underappreciated live albums IMO.

How do you overproduce an acoustic album? Devils And Dust...

 

...and solo Myles Kennedy

Night Ranger- Dawn Patrol 

 

This is perfect. Like, I can't fault this album! It's a joy every time I come back to it.

 

Toto- Toto 

 

ANOTHER PERFECT DEBUT

 

sorry for shouting

[bluefox4000]

Toto-Mindfields (7/10)

 

I think i really figured out why this album doesn't quite work......besides being too dam long.

 

It feels less like Toto and more  like two solo records smashed together.....Bobby's and Lukes.  With an encore by paitch at the end.

 

there is little balance and cohesion to this record......like at all.....they don't even soud like they recorded together honestly.

Toto-Tambu (9/10)

Madonna- Like A Prayer

[Segue Myles]

Anthrax- Fistful Of Metal

 

That album cover is a crime. Otherwise, this debut is really fun but it is mind-blowing how much they changed. For the better, but I still enjoy this record. 

 

Anthrax- Spreading The Disease 

 

This album could be an addiction.

Where’s the Toto !? 😜

[Alex’s Amazing Arpeggios]

It Bites - Once Around the World ( ‘88 ) 

  9/10

It Bites - The Tall Ships ( 2006 ) 

  8/10 

[Segue Myles]

Rush- Signals

Rush- Grace Under Pressure 

Rush- Power Windows 

Rush- Hold Your Fire 

 

It's crazy to me how much I love these albums, but to crazily varying degrees. I NEVER get hooked on Power Windows, but I greatly enjoy it when I play it. I think I love HYF more than I actually do, and I love Signals way more than I realise, and I think Grace Under Pressure is utterly flawless and one of their greatest achievements.

 

Great stuff, as expected.

I love this Tull!

[TheAccountant]

Edguy - Mandrake

 

For me the 2 best songs on the album were The Pharaoh & Fallen Angels.  That being said, there was a lot of enjoyable songs on this album - did think the album got weaker at the very end.  The last song or 2 were nothing special.  Other than that, quite the album.

 

Man - the lead singer sounds like Bruce from Iron Maiden.  Its even more obvious on this album.  Will keep exploring this band.

[Entre_Perpetuo]

Genesis - Invisible Touch (gotta be their catchiest record, cuz I keep having to put it back on to hear something from it that gets stuck in my head)

 

Gojira - From Mars To Sirius (first time listen, okay, yeah, I can see how this is better than the two I’ve heard, fair enough. This is pretty stellar holy cow)

 

Mastodon - Leviathan (there’s a bit in, I think in Hearts Alive, where they totally play a straight up Iron Maiden sounding riff, just noticed that. Sick)

 

Queen - A Day At The Races (in any other band’s catalogue this would be my favorite album from them, no questions asked)

Definitely agree with the vocals sounding like Bruce. I am a big fan of this album, it's possibly my favourite!

 

Mastodon's Leviathan is a fantastic album. Full of surprises and I swear it is a different experience every time I listen to it. I consider it a masterpiece in the truest definition of the term.

From Mars To Sirius blew my mind when I listened to it around 2006. I've never been quite as enamoured with anything they have done quite to this extent since then.
