Cronos – The Anthology – Review March 30, 2007 The Anthology gathers up all three albums recorded during the man’s pointless exile from Venom, along with a handful of inconsequential rarities.
The Damned – Noise Noise Noise – Review November 17, 2006 Box set comprising five CDs, which frankly would’ve fit on three. Much of this is recycled live grist, but it’s nice to have ‘er all in one place.
W.A.S.P. – K.F.D. – Review October 1, 1997 K.F.D. doesn’t summarize the jean jacket experience, but W.A.S.P. now rolls toms, giving shock metal a bit of that tribal feel these crazy kids dig.
Iron Maiden – Best of the Beast – Review December 1, 1996 It took two discs, 27 songs (76 minutes), and a 60 page booklet to get across all the songs and info required to do a band like Iron Maiden justice.
Harriet the Spy – Review September 1, 1996 The music starts with superficial hip-hop (the kind found only in dentist’s offices), but luckily progresses into a great exotica sound.
The Almighty – Just Add Life – Review August 1, 1996 All the mohawks and tattoos in the world can’t disguise the fact that this is a rock band.
The Loungecore Experience – Review June 1, 1996 These five discs focus more on a rock context, more of a guitar, bass drums, synth/theremin combo.
Bruce Dickinson – Skunkworks – Review June 1, 1996 He’s still got the bellowing from the Iron Maiden heyday, he still has that ’80s trademark vibrato, but he’s singing reasonably contemporary rock.
