CD Reviews

Acoustic power ballads
Blain Lane | The Illini, USA | 09/08/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Some don't like metal associated with 80's hair rock power ballads, hey whatever. Very good acoustic performances give a new life to classics from the past. VH1 might have considered a more definitive title for this collection though."
Great Alubm, but "Metal" and "Mania"?!?
Jeffrey D. Pettorino | Mountain Standard Tribe | 01/02/2006
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I really like this album...but another reviewer has it right, it's simply another metal ballads compiliation...albeit a VERY good one. Each song is a really inspired take on the original, some in intimate performance settings, others apparently in studio. The only song that didn't impress me much was Extreme's "More Than Words", but being an accoustic song to begin with, all they could really do is an a cappella version...which didn't impress me much.

If you are a child of the 80's hair-band, metal, and stoner music era, this is an album you will likely enjoy. It's ill-thought out sequel is *NOT* on my suggested disc list, so be thorough in your pre-purchase consideration.

As a hobbyist guitar player, I really enjoy hearing the different takes on these songs. Definitely on my favorites list!"
