"This was Alice's biggest commercial success in years (and there are few more deserving. This isn't a bad hard rock release but I actually think Hey Stoopid which is simiilar in sound if you like hair metal is superior."Reply
"Maybe best portuguese ever album. Grândola Vila Morena, the music of the revolution in Portugal, you should try to listen to the entire album with translation to understand all the genius."Reply

Aka "What Tastes Great But Adds No Weight?!"
“Back then, Eddie was sort of the apex of a new direction for guitarists of my generation. If you were just getting in the game like me, he was the guy to look up to. He made it all seem so exciting. Everybody wanted to play like him, and every band wanted to hit it big like Van Halen.” – Warren DeMartini, lead guitarist of Ratt
Look in the mirror
You’re too good for yourself - The Morning After
The Setting: What could be better?! We’re driving down the highway in our rented Ford Mustang convertible , the three of us belting out the lyrics to Ratt’s "Wanted Man". Pumping our fists up into the hot Floridian sun as we accelerate around the curves on the palm lined road. We’re on our way to Grandmother's house, BUT there's not a wolf in sight! The REAL Tilly pays the album we're spinning – Ratt’s Out Of The Cellar – the highest compliment she can think of... “This is just as good as Def Leppard, Dad! Maybe even Ozzy!” Gotta love it when your teen daughter is turning into a metalhead, right?
Out Of The Cellar did just that for Ratt back in 1984. They had been toiling away in the gutter of the Sunset Strip for pretty much a decade by then. The basics were already there, as one listen to Ratt’s EP (1983)penned by longtime Mickey Ratt club members, vocalist Stephen Pearcy & rhythm guitarist Robbin Crosby, would tell you. They were close. So close. But, back then you needed an Eddie or Randy to close the deal. You needed a guitar hero to bring down the lightning. Enter teenaged DeMartini, the hand-picked successor to Jake E Lee, on his departure from Ratt to join the Ozzman himself. Would DeMartini elevate Ratt Out Of The..."
The Listen: Sometimes you just want music to kiss & flirt too. Nothing heavy. Just something fun to get the party going and those Bartles & Jaymes flowing And just Outside Providence, hair metal was just da thing to get those wine coolers tilted back & perpendicular! Back in '84, Ratt was the band that all the bad girls had on their party mixtapes. Just the right amount of danger while keeping it sugary sweet. Delicious crunchy-chewy riffs like a Twix’s candy bar. This was music for walking to the mall too. . When I throw this on, I can almost taste the hairspray!
The Verdict: A shiny & polished update of Motley Crue's sleazetastic masterpiece from 1981 - Too Fast For Love [+]Reply
"People write him off as pleasant yuppie music, good for dinner parties. There's more depth than that here. His lyrics are often insightful, and there's nothing wrong with being pleasant."Reply
"Harrison's most lively, pop oriented album is also one of his best. Top notch melodies and good diverse lyrics make this a very enjoyable listen!"Reply
"I was never a fan of Milo's name-dropping, reference-for-the-sake-of-reference style (on display on Toothpaste Suburb), but this is entirely different.

He's still spinning some pretty unique, quirky rhymes, but it sounds like there's a purpose behind it. Songs like Rabblerouse and An Encyclopedia, which is the album's highlight, have a conscious side, and even the artier tracks seem to have more weight behind them than anything I had heard from him before. I'm also a fan of short rap albums like this, because they tend to be wordy and dense, which I enjoy."[+]Reply

After Ajate, Videotapemusic, CHAI and Minyo Crusaders, here's another amazing discovery coming from the land of the Rising Sun and that will kick you in the ass. She are called おとぼけビ~バ~ (Otoboke Beaver) and offer us a completely crazy album called "ITEKOMA HITS". The female quartet comes from Kyoto and is composed of Acconrinrin (vocals, guitar), Yoyoyoshie (guitar, choirs), Hiro-chan (bass, choirs) and Kahokiss (drums, choirs) and offers us a condensed punk-rock and hardcore noise-punk. But with a sense of the excessive Japanese style. What we will remember, the Japanese Acconrinrin's vocals completely goofy accompanied by his bordelic choirs sometimes screamed sometimes anarchic that seem to come from a manga. It's short, stupid but in any case it's damn punchy and effective. Fourteen tracks that never exceed 2 minutes 30, おとぼけビ~バ~ proves that the female Japanese punk-rock scene has something to say.
Arigato gozaimasu.

They were the first of four artists to play--before Taj Majal, a much-diminished incarnation of The Band, and Michele Shocked herself. I wished Uncle Tupelo could have played for the whole show. They played mostly songs from March 16-20, 1992, and their tight, wholly acoustic performances matched those on the album--meaning they were absolutely spot on. The highlight here is their definitive version of "Moonshiner," a traditional Appalachian tune previously recorded by Bob Dylan and performed by Ronny Cox's character in the movie Deliverance, but utterly eclipsed by Jay Farrar's gut-wrenching, melancholic delivery here."[+]Reply
