Products similar to Vain Glory Opera - Edguy
Under Satanae - Moonspell
It's excellent to hear the band rerecord old material.
The album brings nothing new to the genre of dark metal.
The Truth - Cherish
harmonies, vocals ride the music
one sister's vocals aren't great, bland Before You Were My Man
Touch Wood - Antonio Forcione
Excellent virtuoso musician.
Not everyones cup of tea.
The Wedding Dance Of The Widow Bride - Geoff Berner
Funny, witty, clever; it's klezmer music
Unnecessary Leonard Cohen cover
Tip Of The Iceberg / Takin... - New Found Glory
Two discs included here of utmost excellence.
Despite the fact 18 tracks are included here there's just a mere 27 minutes of music.
Tokyo Warhearts - Children Of Bodom
Tight and well-selected early performance.
Only draws from two studio albums, and solo performances are disappointing.
Transcendence - Crimson Glory
Improves on the first album...
...but is stylistically identical.
Unappreciated - Cherish
R&B & Soul - Soul - 2006
The Top - The Cure
A couple of the songs are really psychedelic and mad
The production isn't the best, a couple of the songs sound really dated
