Here's some recent purchases. Some disappointing, some more than expected.
1. John 5 - The Art of Malice - 5 outta 5...This guy just keeps getting better and better. It's a front to back, every song's a good one.
2. Ozzy Osbourne - Scream - 2 outta 5...I will say this was a little disappointing. Ozzy himself didn't sound too confident in the release. I would have much more preferred a more Black Sabbath sound like the NIB release with Primus or Stillborn with Black Label Society. "Soul Sucka"....seriously???
3. Krokus - Hoodoo - 5 outta 5...this was a pleasant surprise. Hoodoo Woman and Born to be Wild are top tracks on this one.
4. Ratt - Infestation - 1 out of 5...Another disappointing outing. "More of the same" is all I have to say.
5. Scorpions - Sting in the Tail 2.5 outta 5...This is a repeat of their last album. The album starts out really good then drops off into a bunch of ballads trying to recreate Still Loving You. I much prefer the 70s Scorpions but overall this ok.
6. Hole - Nobody's Daughter 4 outta 5...call it Courtney's Comeback. She still sounds awesome and I highly recommend then new VH1 Classic's Behind The Music: Courtney Love. Skinny Little Bitch, Pacific Coast Highway are the top two on this one and a sad Letter to God.
7. Airboune - No Guts, No Glory - 2.5 outta 5. After their kick-ass debut five star Runnin' Wild, this album with 16 tracks is pretty much more of the same. I was hoping for something new and fresh.
8. The Lions - Let No One Fall - 5 outta 5. Here's a surprising fresh new "sleaze rock" band. Have a rough GnR sound. Although it's a 6 song EP, all six songs totally rock.
