Vault: Def Leppard Greatest Hits(more) »rank: 735by: Def Leppard
Our review:Album Description:Special edition of 1995 compilation includes a bonus disc with nine live tracks, 'Lets Get Rocked', 'Armageddon It', 'Foolin'', 'Rocket', 'Two Steps Behind', 'Pour Some Sugar On Me', 'Rock Of Ages', 'Love Bites', & 'Photograph', recorded at Don Valley Sta :To have resisted Def Leppard's radio power in their heyday, you'd have to have been a critic--and even some of us could hardly argue with the likes of 'Photograph,' 'Animal,' and 'Bringin' on the Heartbreak.' Vault covers a decade and a half of hits by the one-time wonder boys of the new wave of British metal, but perhaps inevitably concentrates on singles ... Detail |

Rock of Ages: The Definitive Collection(more) »rank: 1452by: Def Leppard
Our review: :While many of their peers were abandoning '70s metal and arena rock to hop the punk/new wave bandwagon, Def Leppard smartly stripped the earlier era's music of its excesses, bolstered it with energetic, pop-savvy hooks and quickly found itself the vanguard of the UK's new metal revival and one of the '80s most spectacularly successful rock acts. The first disc of this 35-track, two-and-a-half hour double-disc retrospective focuses on the familiar hits of their early MTV, platinum-selling prime, though the inclusion of the video edit/remixes of 'Pour Some Sugar On Me' and 'Rocket' attempts to cast them in a more club-friendly contemporary groove. ...

Use Your Illusion I(more) »rank: 1176by: Guns N' Roses
Our review:Album Description:Limited 2008 UK 180gm vinyl pressing of this classic album, released to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the long-playing record. This is an exact replica of the original packaging and contains a voucher enabling the purchaser to download MP3 versions of the songs within. Happy Birthday, my dear vinyl LP! Universal. :Part one of Guns N' Roses' ambitious second album is arguably the better of the two. It certainly rocks harder, though this seems to be more coincidence than anything else; which songs went on which CD looks to have been a random selection. Use Your Illusion I stays closer to ...

Cross Road(more) »rank: 1784by: Bon Jovi
Our review:Album Details:The CD Slide Pack is a New Form of No-frills CD Packaging featuring an Outer Slipcase with the Original Cover Artwork, and an Inner 'slider' Including a CD. Note: There is No CD Booklet in this Package. :This best-of is loaded with the usual smash suspects plus three new cuts--the sub-Mellancamp 'Someday I'll Be Saturday Night,' the Bed of Roses-style ballad single 'Always,' and a low-key remake of 'Living On A Prayer' titled 'Prayer '94.' Love 'em or not, there's no denying the loyalty of the fans. --Jeff Bateman Detail |
This Left Feels Right: Greatest Hits With a Twist(more) »rank: 1388by: Bon Jovi
Our review:From Amazon.co.uk:First of all, hats off to Bon Jovi for trying something different with This Left Feels Right--a selective collection of their most popular songs with a twist. That twist isn't a purely acoustic reworking, MTV unplugged style--anybody looking for that experience will be sorely disappointed by what's on offer. What Bon Jovi have done is re-record these songs in a completely different way while maintaining the original lyrics, melody and song structure. What's different then? Well, quite a bit actually. Check out the almost trip-hop beat and distorted vocal of 'Wanted Dead or Alive', or the lazy soul of 'Livin' on a ... Detail |

Slippery When Wet(more) »rank: 802by: Bon Jovi
Our review: :Slippery When Wet transformed Bon Jovi from minor-league poodle rockers to global superstars on the back of hit singles 'You Give Love a Bad Name,' 'Never Say Goodbye,' and, of course, 'Living on a Prayer.' From the scantily clad car-wash girls on the inner sleeve to the 'You lost more than that in my back seat / Yeah!' lyrics, the album is blissfully untouched by irony and subtlety, which actually adds to its charm. With guitarist Richie Sambora and songwriter Desmond Child, Jon Bon Jovi has produced a slew of consistently memorable tunes, and this album contains its fair share of them. Slippery ... Detail |
