 King Of Fools - Edguy It's Edguy off course you gotta be kidding me |  Perfect Sym - Fates Warning Pioneering progressive metal with a distinctive approach. Too many slow songs try my patience. |  Awaken The Guardian (cd+dvd) - Fates Warning Pioneering progressive metal. Rather samey. |
 In The Nightside Eclipse - Emperor Early symphonic black metal. Fairly primitive and repetitive. |  Symphony Of Death - Grave Digger A few more songs for fans. Distinctly average material. |  Point Of Entry - Judas Priest A much more commercial sound a few duffers towards the end |
 The Infotainment Scan - The Fall Some good synth work and lyrics None |  Ten - Brian McKnight Great vocals A couple of weaker links |  The Lexicon Of Love - ABC Strong songs, strong production A little dated now |
 The Umbersun - Elend Effective symphonic balance between light and darkness. Yelled vocals sound out of place, and music is dull in places. |
