On this album this american melodic punkband mixes rockabilly, country and melodic punk but also with some faster and more aggressive songs. On the photos they look like a rockabilly-band. The album is their most successful and peaked at nr.128 on the Billboard. They were even played at rock radio and MTV. I personally like the heavier and faster songs, the melodic ones are sometimes too melodic and tame. But this is an okey album!


1) So far away (8,5) Kickstart with power, nice guitarsolos and a superstrong melody and refrain.

2)Let it be me (7,5)

3)Story of my life (6,5) Uptempo and happy-happy melody.

4)Sick boys (6,5) Same as above.

5)Ring of fire (Johnny Cash) (5,5) Why?

6)Ball and chain (6,5) Very melodic and midtempo song.

7)It couldabeen me (7,0) Bluesy rocker with harmonica.

8)She's a knockout (8,0) Another superb punkrocker.

9)A place in my heart (8,0)

10)Drug train (6,5) Heavy bluesrocker and again with harmonica. Bad refrain though.


Score: 7,05

A year after his latest album that was named almost the same as this one, with the exeption of the word "more" in the title, Jimmie continues his mix of 50's style rock and rockabilly, blues and so on. He is still influenced by his time with the Fabolous Thunderbirds and if you liked the Fab's, you'll like this record. There are some really good songs on this album but 16 songs gets too much for me. Many of the songs sound very alike and I don't see the point in having so many songs on an album since it's difficult too keep the intrest up the whole album through. Many of the songs are also too short, they just stop very abruptly when there would be posibilities too do more with them. But it's an okey album for sure!

Greg Piccolo and Doug James has played with Roomful Of Blues.

11)Cried like a baby (7,0)

12)Ohohoh (6,0)

13)I'm a love you (7,0) Jimmy Reed-cover.

As the title suggests, this is the 13th album from Megadeth. For this album, former and original Megadet-bassist Dave Ellefson was back in the band. He quit Megadeth in 2002 and and formed the band F5 which released one album. I have never been a big fan of Megadeth's music except for two very good albums in the 90's. The sound of the 2000's they have is very modern, heavy, technical and well produced. The songs are in-the-middle-of-the-road and no songs sticks out, it gets like a big mess and 13 songs is a few too many too keep the interest up. I won't listen to this album again even though it has some okey songs.


1)Sudden death (5,0)

2)Public enemy no.1 (6,0)

3)Whose life (is it anyway?) (7,0)

4)We the people (7,0)

5)Guns, drugs and money (6,0)

6)Never dead (5,0)

7)New world order (6,0)

8)Fast lane (7,0)

9)Black swan (6,5)

10)Wrecker (6,0)

11)Millenium of the blind (4,0)

12)Deadly nightshade (7,0)

13)13 (6,5)

Robert Gordon is an american rockabilly-artist and singer. He also mixes in country, rock'n'roll, soul and r'n'b in his music. Some songs rock, some are more like Johnny Cash-ballads, the mix makes this an interesting album and there are some good and some not so good songs on it. An okey album!


1)Dear one (6,5) Very Elvis-alike song.

2)Your angel steps out of heaven (6,0)

3)Ain't gonna take it no more (7,5)

4)Little boy sad (6,5)

5)Sweet nothin's (7,0)

This band of the NWOBHM-era was founded in 1974. This is their 1st album and it's hard to understand that they, in 6 years of playing together, couldn't make a better album than this. On the cover it looks like this is some kind of satanic heavy metal-band, but the music can actually only be described as hardrock with poor singing and some okey songs but very amateurish.


1)Ready to roll (7,0) An okey hardrocksong with a nice riff, rhythm and chorus.

2)The divine victim (4,5) Very strange dark and blurry production on this song that's not very good. Very amateurish.

3)Leaving Nadir (7,0) A long intro leading to a perfect slow riff and nice melody.

4)Gettin' heavy (2,0) Terrible! How can this have made it to an album? Super-amateurish.

5)Give 'em hell (7,5) A good hardrocker!

6)Into the ages of the ages (6,5) 9 minutes long and suddenly very progressive.

7)Pay now-love later (5,0)


Score: 5,64

Nuclear Assault was formed in 1984 by former Anthrax-bassist Danny Lilker and John Connelly who was involved in an early version of Anthrax. After releasing this album, their debut they toured Europe with Agent Steel and Atomkraft. Also, Lilker and Scott Ian and Charlie Benante from Anthrax released an album under the band name Stormtroopers Of Death (S.O.D.) in 1985. Lilker wanted to play more aggressive music than Anthrax did and this album is very extreme in that sence. At the time they were called a speed-metal band and there sure is a lot of speed in this music! It's fast and furious and melodies is NOT featured in this album. It's just insane sometimes. Too bad the production sucks and the singing (screaming with high notes) could have been better. I don't like this album very much.


1)Live, suffer, die (6,0) This 1 minute of furious, fast and crazy punk-metal sets the standard for this album.

2)Sin (5,5)

3)Cold steel (5,0)

4)Betrayal (5,0)

5)Radiation sickness (6,0)

6)Hang the pope (4,0) Totally insane 48 seconds. A live-favorite!

7)After the holocaust (5,5)

8)Mr.Softee theme (-)

9)Stranded in hell (6,0)

10)Nuclear war (5,5)

11)My america (-)

12)Vengeance (6,0)

12)Brain death (4,5)


Score: 5,36
