The most satisfying thing about this album is how distinctive it sounds, something I considered near-impossible for the genre, and while it doesn't quite live up to the genre greats such as Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, it's one of the best albums I've heard from the more obscure recesses of the NWOBHM.

Fine selection of material from the first five albums. 
Brief at only ten tracks. Inconsistent musical styles None Rarities, quirky packaging Low recording quality on many tracks, most available to download for free legally anyway Observational and unique None - I'm biased!We All Love Ennio Morricone - Ennio Morricone
Easy Listening - 2007
Unmixed - Freemasons
Funky, upbeat and uplifting Two uninspiring instrumental tracks
The Olden Domain - Borknagar
Excellent progressive black metal from the best in the field. Style becomes repetitive, even when the songs sound different.
Origin - Borknagar
Fair neofolk album. Dull and devoid of interest.
On Tour With Eric Clapton - Delaney & Bonnie
Some decent Southern Blues Too technical and not enough feeling
Live Cannibalism - Cannibal Corpse
Very heavy, just what you expect. Certainly not for the faint hearted.
Epic - Borknagar
More progressive take on the 'Empiricism' sound. Songs still sound similar, and there are more epic albums out there.
Come Clarity - In Flames
Musically accomplished. Too much screaming, drum beat is very samey.
And Four More Ways To Fight - Multi Purpose Chemical
Brilliant, original, varied album! None really, I guess it's a fairly short album though.
Sessions For Robert J - Eric Clapton
CD & DVD None
