Saving Abel-Saving Abel

Saving Abel ,the self titled debut of the band Saving Abel is not such a bad album. The riffs are pretty good in many songs but what stands out is the lead part epecially in the songs "Running from you" and "Drowning(Face Down)". The biggest hit of the album "Addicted" has a really catchy tune and the vocals are also pretty good but the drums are really weak in this song and the lyrics especially could've been better. The songs "18 Days", "Beautiful Day" and "Sailed Away" are eally nice ballads. Songs "Beautiful You" , "New Tatoo" , "Out of My Face" and "She Got Over Me" are seriously no worth checking out. Inspite of the album losing its way in certain areas it's still worth a listen. My personal favourites in this would be "Running from You" and "Drowning". The album would have been much better off if the drums were a little stronger but overall the band has done a pretty good job.

Metallica-Death Magnetic

Metallica are finally back and they are better than ever.This is one headbanging experience you cant miss.Riffs,solos,percussions everything is so damn good in this album.

The opening song "That way just your life" starts of with a good riff and is a perfect metallic start to Death Magenetic."End of the Line" starts of with a killer riff.The vocals are mind blowing in this song."The Broken Beat and scarred" is also a very good track but the biggest highlight of the album comes in the form of "That day never comes".Man what a song that is.The verse and the chorus part of the song can win over even a hardcore metallica hater.The best part of the song is probably the solo which is lightning fast and will leave you gasping for breath."The Unforgiven iii",the song which all fans were patiently waiting for,just doesnt fail to dissapoint.It's probably the best of the 3 unforgivens released so far."Cyanide" and "The Judas Kiss" are also amazing tracks.

The whole album is filled with fast and amazing riffs.Its also got a solid rhythm section.In fact drums stand out in songs like "That Day Never comes".The whole album is actually woth a thousand listens.This is another Metallica classic.

Def Leppard-Hysteria

Where Pyromania had set the standard for polished, catchy pop-metal, Hysteria only upped the ante. Pyromania's slick, layered Mutt Lange production turned into a painstaking obsession with dense sonic detail on Hysteria, with the result that some critics dismissed the record as a stiff, mechanized pop sell-out (perhaps due in part to Rick Allen's new, partially electronic drum kit). But Def Leppard's music had always employed big, anthemic hooks, and few of the pop-metal bands who had hit the charts in the wake of Pyromania could compete with Leppard's sense of craft; certainly none had the pop songwriting savvy to produce seven chart singles from the same album, as the stunningly consistent Hysteria did. Joe Elliott's lyrics owe an obvious debt to his obsession with T. Rex, particularly on the playfully silly anthem "Pour Some Sugar on Me," and the British glam rock tribute "Rocket," while power ballads like "Love Bites" and the title track lack the histrionics or gooey sentimentality of many similar offerings. The strong pop hooks and "perfect"-sounding production of Hysteria may not appeal to die-hard heavy metal fans, but it isn't heavy metal -- it's pop-metal, and arguably the best pop-metal ever recorded. Its blockbuster success helped pave the way for a whole new second wave of hair metal bands, while proving that the late-'80s musical climate could also be very friendly to veteran hard rock acts, a lead many would follow in the next few years.

Lynyrd Skynyrd-Second Helping

Lynyrd Skynyrd wrote the book on Southern rock with their first album, so it only made sense that they followed it for their second album, aptly titled Second Helping. Sticking with producer Al Kooper (who, after all, discovered them), the group turned out a record that replicated all the strengths of the original, but was a little tighter and a little more professional. It also revealed that the band, under the direction of songwriter Ronnie Van Zant, was developing a truly original voice. Of course, the band had already developed their own musical voice, but it was enhanced considerably by Van Zant's writing, which was at turns plainly poetic, surprisingly clever, and always revealing. Though Second Helping isn't as hard a rock record as Pronounced, it's the songs that make the record. "Sweet Home Alabama" became ubiquitous, yet it's rivaled by such terrific songs as the snide, punkish "Workin' for MCA," the Southern groove of "Don't Ask Me No Questions," the affecting "The Ballad of Curtis Loew," and "The Needle and the Spoon," a drug tale as affecting as their rival Neil Young's "Needle and the Damage Done," but much harder rocking. This is the part of Skynyrd that most people forget -- they were a great band, but they were indelible because that was married to great writing. And nowhere was that more evident than on Second Helping.

Def Leppard-Songs From the Sparkle Lounge

Given that Def Leppard sounded so fun and revitalized on their 2006 covers album Yeah!, it was easy to hope that they would try to channel that same kinetic energy into their next set of original material, 2008's Songs from the Sparkle Lounge.They actually have succeded in kicking up the excitement.The song "Only the Good Die Young" shimmers with brilliant harmonies and "Nine Lives",a duet with country superstar Tim McGraw rides a riff that is very similar to "Pour Some Sugar on Me".The album has many big hooks like "C'mon,C'mon","Tomorrow","Nine Lives" and "Come Undone".This album is the perfect successor of Yeah.If you haven't heard songs by Def Leppard before,this album is the perfect one to start with.As for Def Leppard fans here is another classic to add to your collection.

Oasis-(What's the Story)Morning Glory?

If Definitely Maybe was an unintentional concept album about wanting to be a rock & roll star, (What's the Story) Morning Glory? is what happens after the dreams come true. Oasis turns in a relatively introspective second record, filled with big, gorgeous ballads instead of ripping rockers. Unlike Definitely Maybe, the production on Morning Glory is varied enough to handle the range in emotions; instead of drowning everything with amplifiers turned up to 12, there are strings, keyboards, and harmonicas. This expanded production helps give Noel Gallagher's sweeping melodies an emotional resonance that he occasionally can't convey lyrically. However, that is far from a fatal flaw; Gallagher's lyrics work best in fragments, where the images catch in your mind and grow, thanks to the music. Gallagher may be guilty of some borrowing, or even plagiarism, but he uses the familiar riffs as building blocks. This is where his genius lies: He's a thief and doesn't have many original thoughts, but as a pop/rock melodicist he's pretty much without peer. Likewise, as musicians, Oasis are hardly innovators, yet they have a majestic grandeur in their sound that makes ballads like "Wonderwall" or rockers like "Some Might Say" positively transcendent.Alan White does add authority to the rhythm section, but the most noticeable change is in Liam Gallagher. His voice sneered throughout Definitely Maybe, but on Morning Glory his singing has become more textured and skillful. He gives the lyric in the raging title track a hint of regret, is sympathetic on "Wonderwall," defiant on "Some Might Say," and humorous on "She's Electric," a bawdy rewrite of "Digsy's Diner." It might not have the immediate impact of Definitely Maybe, but Morning Glory is just as exciting and compulsively listenable.

Live-Throwing Copper

On Throwing Copper, Live tightened their sound, added crashing crescendos for dramatic effect, and injected some anger into their sound and songwriting. They also eased up a bit on the Eastern philosophy; the result is a more cohesive, memorable record overall, and quite an improvement from the sometimes overly precious Mental Jewelry. And for all of Mental Jewelry's ideologies, Throwing Copper is ultimately a more passionate and successful album, thanks to tracks like "I Alone," "Selling the Drama," and "All Over You," all of which received heavy radio play. The rebirth-themed "Lightning Crashes," the album's biggest hit, was written in memory of Barbara Lewis, a classmate who was killed by a drunk driver in 1993. Other standouts include the Kurt Cobain/Courtney Love-inspired "Stage," the apocalyptic "White, Discussion," the bass-driven, obsessive "Iris," and the dark "Dam at Otter Creek." Of course, Ed Kowalczyk couldn't resist throwing in a song like "T.B.D." (for the Tibetan Book of the Dead), based on Aldous Huxley's slow descent into death, aided by heroin. Its melodrama is a bit much, even for Live, and is just a sign of things to come on their next album, Secret Samadhi. But Throwing Copper is still a huge improvement from Mental Jewelry, and is the least overtly preachy Live album to date.
