So, NLTM was updated yesterday, but no thread was started

Just thought I'd point out it was updated.

That's cause I didn't have time to check to make sure stuff was uploaded correctly. If anyone sees any typos, mistakes, missing art, broken links, etc. please let me know. Thanks.

I'm not seeing the Saxon - Call to Arms review.

Just checked. It's there. Hit the refresh button. Might still have the old page in your cache.

A-ha! There it is. Sorry about that.

You forgot to add Vandenberg to the index.
You misspelled Kerry Livgren as Kerry Livegrin a couple of times. The same thing with Elefante as Elephante.
In the review for Keel - Back In Action, you wrote:

Quote :

"Lay Down The Law '84" is a apparently a demo

No need for the first "a".
In the review for Kansas - Drastic Measures, you wrote:

Quote :

"Incident on a Bridge" is one other song on the album that touches on the band's former progressive tendencies. It's a Livgren composition that deals with the Biblical idea of the Rapture. The song features some excellent guitar plaing and intricate keyboard work.

The "y" in "playing is missing.

Quote :

Mainstream" may be the most progressive song on the album. The starts off as a guitar drive, AOR rocker but also features an interesting percussive breakdown in the middle of the song that adds a bit of flavor to the song.

I take it you meant to write "The song"?

You also forgot the second "x" in Diamond Rexx.


Ult, what do you think of Danzig? I'm kinda surprised you don't have any yet...

Several places on the Brainstorm page you keep naming their 4th album "Metis Mortis".... the correct name is "Metus Mortis".

The Black Sabbath link doesn't work.

TheGreatDuck, kmorg, Lari, thanks for catching those things.

Ult, have you heard Shadow King? They're an early '90s hair band that had Lou Gramm on vocals and Vivian Campbell on guitar. Not too different from what Foreigner was doing at the time.

Yes, I heard of them. Haven't heard them in a decade, but from what I remember they were very light-weight AOR, super-polished and severely lacking in chemistry.

Gramm has a great voice. I suppose I should revisit them.

Well, these two songs don't really sound that light-weight to me...More in the vein of Slaughter, FireHouse, or Foreigner's unusual heat album...Dunno, maybe the rest of the album is different, I've only heard these two songs.

Here's a band I'm pretty sure you'd like, Zar. Pretty awesome German melodic metal, with John Lawton of Uriah Heep and Lucifer's Friend fame doing the vocals on the debut:



And since you opened that The Cars thread recently, I'm curious, are there any other new wave/pop-rock/pop acts you like, that aren't on this site?

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say that I am extremely envious of Scott's website and collection.

You pretty much nailed it right there. I know I expected more from that project........... more of a heavier Foreigner type thing.

Can't think of any, though I will be adding The Cars & Candy-O in the next update. Might add Shake It Up one of these days as well.

What cover is that on your BLS cd? Mine doesn't look like that. Was their alternate versions released? Mine looks like this...

TheGreatDuck wrote:

Zar.

I'd second the recommendation. Zar is great.

Must have been because my cover looks like the one I posted.

It would also be nice to finally see GFR and that Toto review you promised so long ago.

Anyway, have you heard of WWIII?



A funny thing is, every member who played on the debut, sans the vocalist, played with Dio at one time or another.

I used to email with Mandy Lion, and he promised to send me some CD's.... Never happened...

On your Grave Robber page, the record label and year for the 2nd release is free-floating and is hanging around the bottom where the review for the 1st album ends.

And you've got a bit of a conflict in wording on one of your Machine Head reviews. In your review for Supercharger you write:

"Machine Head's debut was good, if not inventive."

But later in the same review you write:

"At that point, I revisited "Burn My Eyes" and again found it to be a solid and inventive album."

You also don't have a review for Steeler's (GER) s/t.

Have it on vinyl. Need to spend some time listening to it.
