 ... of these are classic and overplayed enough for me to have some degree of familiarity, particularly the Beach Boys stuff and 'Mr. Sandman' from its appearance in 'Back to the Future' that I watched about eighty eight times as a child. The opening tracks are tackled in exactly the same manner: the song begins to be performed authentically, but about half-way through becomes dominated by fast, powerful drums, André Olbrich's screaming guitar solos and Hansi Kürsch's even more screaming vocals, which sound particularly gre...more

Crowned Review Forgotten Tales - Blind Guardian: Go Johnny Go Go Go Go (977 words)

Rating:

An odd marginal release from Blind Guardian when they were really starting to make it big (at least in Europe), this is a mixture of B-sides collection and promo introduction for newcomers to the band, which fails to give any kind of clear picture of what to expect from a regular studio release. Six of these songs are covers of famous, non-metal artists performed with varying degrees of authenticity and artistic license, while the rest consists of earlier Blind Guardian material either re-mixed to a more radio-friendly acoustic form or reproduced from the original, if it was acoustic in the first place.

Great drums and maintenance of the longboat sound. Songs blur together and lack the energy of earlier releases.

Good music, wide appeal Start and enda bit pop-y and over-produced?

Some good old tunes... Some naff dated ones...

Well-plotted progressive power metal classic. Deviates from its power metal base significantly by the end.

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

Continues right where 'Temple of Shadows' left off, with the same progressive elements. Over-reliance on slow, emotional numbers that don't really work, and sound badly dated.

Standing On My Own - Shiri Maimon
Some good songs, Shiri has a nice voice Too many average songs, not long enough

Sister - Sonic Youth
Loud, experimental, cool, still fresh after 20 years Not for you if you're into pop...

Go! - Mario
You should be able to get through every track Not instant classics

Freedom Call - Angra
Intriguing enough for die-hard fans, stretching the band's progressive tendencies to breaking point. A few really, really naff songs.

Atom-Age Vampire in 308 - Balzac
Enjoyable Misfits-style punk, with the band's strongest early material. Second side is less interesting.

Bach/Beethoven/Mozart - Works For Violin And Piano

Aren't You Dead Yet - Carnal Forge
Fun thrash-death metal. Like a less good version of The Haunted.

Against The Elements - Beyond the Embrace
Keeping the spirit of melodeath alive, with some good vocals too. Owes everything to a couple of In Flames albums.

With Love And Squalor - We Are Scientists
Some great songs; catchy riffs; distinct and stand out vocals Track quality not maintained over entire album
