The only real quality this album has going for it is a newfound melodic direction, even more so than on 'Battle Magic,' and for the most part this integrates well in the form of lead guitar melodies in most songs, though it also comes at a cost to the heaviness elsewhere.

Begins fairly promisingly. 
Short, immature and amateur. Interesting, temporary change of direction. Metal instruments now entirely confined to background duty. read, music none at all.... not a single fault A lot of great Maiden tracks, Some tracks not previously released live, Amazing crowd response Many tracks have been released on previous live albumsBruce's vocals are clearly sufferingNot the band at their best Are you having a laugh? Poor and gets worse! Continuing to re-define the sound. I'm not so fond of the direction change.White Chalk - PJ Harvey
A real departure, beautiful, melancholy Not for rockers or pop fans
Voyage 34 - Porcupine Tree
Unusual and insightful blend of trance and psychedelic rock. Heavy reliance on borrowed ideas, and the entire second half is a waste of time.
Triumph Of Steel - Manowar
Heavy Metal - 1992
Tightrope - Stephanie McIntosh
Some Strong Tracks / Catchy Tunes / Lack of Originality / Only 1 song written by herself / No Diversity between tracks
Timeless - Wet Wet Wet
Run, What Do You Know, Marti's voice boring ballads
This Is The Life - Amy Macdonald
Nicely detailed CD book and overall CD case, good prices if you know where to look. Easy listening. Song structures keep repeating and it can become tiring. Shades of other bands material.
This Meets That - John Scofield
Jazz - Post-bop - 2007
There's One In Every Crowd - Eric Clapton
Classic Rock - 1996
The Walk - Hanson
A range of styles, can be bought online for a good price They are severely underrated, album might be hard to find in shops
