Products similar to Frances The Mute - The Mars Vo...
The Red In The Sky Is Ours - At The Gates
Classic experimental death metal album, and At the Gates' best.
Some progressive touches aren't as well incorporated as they would like to be.
The Real Thing - Bo Bice
Only 11 tracks to listen to
Total lack of originality
Surprise - Paul Simon
Meaningful and haunting, beautiful music
None that I can think of
Riot City Blues - Primal Scream
Raising Fear - Armored Saint
Perfection of the band's style, with great guitars and vocals and some timeless classics.
Songs tend towards over-repetition, and end of the album is less noticeable.
Of The Son And The Father - Astral Doors
Keeping classic metal alive, with a variety of song styles.
Can't escape seeming like a second-rate copy.
Elgar - Marches - New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
Good show, hurrah for the British Empire!
Hum, humph...
Declaration - The Alarm
passionate and raw music
none
21 Singles - Jesus & Mary Chain
