Krokus - Change Of Address


All free. Krokus really sucks, I had never heard the album and that is just NOT Krokus. REALLY bad.

And stay away from Change Of Address!

Yes, worst thing they ever recorded. I have it in my collection but when I want to hear some Krokus I never, ever reach for that album.

I'm proud to say that Fastway record is now OUT of my possession!

I would definitely disagree with that, I prefer it over their early releases(before Marc Storace joined the group).

IMO the album has some good songs like Hard Luck Hero, Now(All Through The Night), Let This Love Begin and Burning Up The Night.

CJSS - World Gone Mad

I have Houses, but haven't played it yet (my wife is giving it to me for Christmas). Let me know how "The Ocean" sounds on your copy. I have read reviews on Amazon that the US pressing of the remaster is terrible on "The Ocean" and that the left channel is distorted on that song. Curious to hear yours, I'll report on mine when it comes in. It is also being discussed on the Steve Hoffman forums.

Kick Axe - Welcome To The Club
GTR - Self Titled

Both free, in exchange for making a CD copy. Both pretty generic sounding. I have never heard Kick Axe until now. I remember GTR when it was new but it hasn't aged well. Generic 80's rock to me now.

Playing Kick Axe now, doesn't stand apart from anything else around 1985.

Their first album - Vices - is better than Welcome To The Club, but I wouldn't say they were that great. 

This track got some airplay on MTV back in the day:

WHEN did this so-called word come into practice? It was NEVER said in the past (that I know of).

I've heard some teenager/20-somethings say it in the past year, as well as British journalists (in their 40s / 50s) in a couple newer metal documentaries.
In the early 1990s, some death metal guys said it just like you spelled out, and questioning what it was, and we would laugh, and explain to them it was an abbreviation for The New Wave of British Heavy Metal , and then they would say - "Who cares, all those albums suck".

damn kids

In units it looks like vinyl sales are back to about 1990/1991 levels. Of course vinyl sales cratered starting in about 1985.  I am gleaning that info from these two charts:
