HIM (His Infernal Majesty) was one of the most successful bands to have originated in Finland. Their brand of Gothic rock made them successful in a lot of countries, and although none of their albums reached the American top ten, and only one (2005’s Dark Light) was certified gold in the US, they were big elsewhere. Their first five albums went platinum in Finland, and in their home country they had four straight albums reach number one, with the next three peaking at number two. Tears On Tape was the eighth and final album by HIM, and it was their lowest seller, although it was one of those Finnish number two’s. But this is a band that was quickly running out of gas.

The better songs on Tears On Tape are the title track, “All Lips Go Blue”, and “Into The Night”. And while their sound is solid and polished, it’s pretty evident that they just weren’t feeling it at this point. The album is very well played, but there’s almost no energy behind the performances. It feels more like going through the motions than anything else, but even so, they are still good enough to make it at least a good listen. There just won’t be anything that really sticks with you. It is my recommendation that if you want to hear some of the best hard rock that Finland has to offer, then seek out this band’s earlier work. This one just doesn’t have the energy that HIM had on their other efforts.

1. Pour Some Sugar On Me
2. Photograph
3. Love Bites
4. Let’s Get Rocked
5. Two Steps Behind (Acoustic Version)
6. Animal
7. Foolin’
8. Rocket
9. When Love & Hate Collide

14. Miss You In A Heartbeat (Acoustic Version)
15. Bringin’ On The Heartbreak

So…I guess the question is, how much do you love Def Leppard? This best of from 1995 covers a lot less ground than the fifteen years the title suggests. In the period between 1980 and 1995, Def Leppard actually only released five albums. Their debut, On Through The Night, is not represented here at all. There is only one track (“Bringin’ On The Heartbreak”) from the second album, High ‘N’ Dry. Two tracks (the two acoustic versions) are from the 1993 compilation of B sides and unreleased stuff called Retro Active. This leaves us with 12 of the 15 tracks on this best of culled from only three albums: 1983’s Pyromania, 1987’s Hysteria, and the highly inferior 1992 album Adrenalize.

The results are mixed. And while it might be nice having the hits from their two big winners, Pyromania and Hysteria on one disc, this means that you also have to take them alongside the two tracks from Adrenalize. “Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad” is boring and typical hair metal power ballad fodder, while “Let’s Get Rocked” is so stupid that it actually tries to be clever and replace the word “fuck” with “rock”. You want the best of Def Leppard? Really? Go out and get yourself High ‘N’ Dry, Pyromania and Hysteria. Those albums are a lot of fun, and there is nothing from the rest of this band’s discography that you need to have. At all. This one should be for bargain hunters only.

1973 – CHARISMA
Produced By JOHN BURNS & GENESIS

1. Dancing With The Moonlit Knight
2. I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)
3. Firth Of Fifth
4. More Fool Me
5. The Battle Of Epping Forest
6. After The Ordeal
7. The Cinema Show
8. Aisle Of Plenty

Which Genesis do you prefer? The band that did short and highly melodic pop songs with Phil Collins singing, or the band that did long, drawn out prog pieces with great playing led by Peter Gabriel? Selling England By The Pound is the Gabriel led five piece Genesis. It’s their fifth studio album, the one just before The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, which is ambitious and highly interesting. It’s also the one after Foxtrot, on which Genesis found their footing in a lot of ways. Selling England was a tough album for them, as they had been constantly touring and entered the studio with no material. The results here are mixed, for sure. The highs are really good, and the lows are instantly forgettable.

Instrumentally, Tony Banks and Steve Hackett really shine here. And the drumming of Collins makes the album worth hearing alone. Gabriel sounds almost out of place here, and the lyrics on most songs are not so good (not that you can really hear what Gabriel is singing). Of interest are “Firth Of Fifth, which is instrumentally wonderful, and contains what may be the best Genesis guitar solo. Also of note is “More Fool Me”, which is one of only two times that Collins sings lead during the Gabriel era, and “I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)”, which became their first charting single. This record is sandwiched between albums that were much better representations of this period for the band. It’s a good listen, but it’s far from greatness.
