An amazing piece of genre-defying high concept pop metal, an album of a type only five or so bands could ever dare issue, and all of them from the ’70s.
Brings to the table eccentricity (gone since Hell Bent For Leather), dimension, a whole new persona to this band of many faces and misplaces over the years.
Kaas returned to her roots as a jazz and blues-influenced French pop diva. She knows what she does best, and that’s belt out emotional songs en français.
The fourth album by Italy’s Paola & Chiara is a fantastic celebration of life, love, and genres of music you wouldn’t expect to find on the same album.
It’s appropriate there’s an airplane on the cover of Panavision, the second album from the Montréal trio known as Lili Fatale, because it’s all over the place.

France’s Lorie is being called “the Britney Spears of France” by many of her fans, but her debut album, Près de Toi is more like Debbie Gibson or Tiffany.
I recall the instant plug-me-in magic of British Steel, and the inevitable ascendance of the band (like watching Metallica blow up with Masters of Puppets).
Broke the bank by visiting three areas: Songs reminiscent of British Steel, songs reminiscent of Point of Entry, and songs heavier than anything on either.
Heavier still than Screaming…, even if the production was more synthetic and drummer Dave Holland seemed even less necessary as a paid member of the band.
