Dynazty - Sultans of Sin I never heard of this band until this week. But from the youtube sampler, this sounds really good. 'More than a Man' (track 5) is killer! I'm gonna have to invest... Any fans?

Roth all the way for me. All great albums (and I include Diver Down in that too. Don't get all the hate for that album?). Fair Warning will always be my favourite... The Hagar era was good if a little too 'safe' and sugar coated.

The first Extreme album (as far as guitar histrionics go) came across as being influenced by VH. Not that I thought it was up to much...

Just listened to this album for the first time in about 20 years. Overblown, pumped up, full of histrionics and needs to be played at maximum volume. I actually like it better now than I did back in the day which surprised me. So I went over to amazon.com to read the listener reviews and I've never seen an album divide opinion as much. Would be interested to hear some opinions from the

I was coming home from the pub in a taxi last night and the driver was blasting awesome melodic metal which turned out to be these guys. I'd heard of them before but never actually heard them. Anyways, I forgot the name of the album he told me the music was from (I had a fair few pints in me) but I was wondering if anyone could give me suggestions as to which album to get as a starting point (bes

Just dug out these albums for the first time in years. I forgot how good they were! Always was a big fan of the S/T and 'Seeds' discs, but its 'Wishpool' which has really grabbed my attention this time round with a massive dynamic production and what seems like a more mature sound than the other two. Damon Johnsonreally is an amazing talent. I'm thinking of investing in the 'Slave to the System'

Can't wait for this! I was always a big fan of the band even throughout the mediocre albums of the late 90's, early 00's. Jeff Waters is a guitar legend and the 'Metal' album of 07 was a serious return to form. Despite his thrash and speed roots, he's always been a fan olf old school rock and I hope he does the Halen track justice. It's a great song, but an obscure choice for a cover though?

Just got the new Armored Saint album, 'La Raza' yesterday and have to say its excellent. Always liked the band, but with 'La Raza', they've topped anything they've done before. Slightly less metal than earlier releases and a lot more melody and dynamics with a real punchy production. Lovin' it.

After many years I finally got round to picking up on this album. I had heard all the comments about them being Leppard clones and being produced by Phil Collen and thought that it was no bad thing, but I've just finished the first spin and I'm completely underwhelmed. What a disappointment! Yep, the Leppard influences are there but they're dressed up in the most cliched lyrics. There are also n

Rich Ward? A legend in my eyes. His 'My Kung Fu is Good' album was my favourite album of 2005. I love Stuck Mojo. Their 'Rising' album was top notch but Rich Ward found himself on his solo effort.

What an absolute monster of an album! I was expecting good things after hearing the single 'Blind Man', but I didn't expect it to top the debut. It's actually better and thats no mean feat.

Just got this one yesterday via amazon france. Organic is awesome and looks sure to be my album of the year (I know it's only May now)! It's truly amazing the way IA Eklundh keeps raising the bar on each consecutive release. Amazing guitar playing, melodies & harmonies with an outstanding production. Can't wait to they come to the UK.......
