Best and Worst Rock and Metal Cd's of 2007
By an Amazon.com customer
Mastercutor (Special Edition) (2 Bonus Tracks)Mastercutor (Special Edition) (2 Bonus Tracks) by U.D.O.
Buy used from: $35.28
this is my favorite of the year so far. metal the way it's supposed to be done.
Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked Pt. I)Framing Armageddon (Something Wicked Pt. I) by Iced Earth
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.28
i hate to use a judas priest comparison here but i have not heard this kind of intensity since "painkiller". Tim Owens has really come into his own as a vocalist.
Give Me Your Soul...PleaseGive Me Your Soul...Please by King Diamond
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $5.23
Yet another horrific masterpiece in the legendary career of the king!
Born into ThisBorn into This by The Cult
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $8.48
The Cult is back! "Dirty lil' rockstar" has HIT written all over it.most reviews i've read have been negative. i personally find this cd enjoyable. maybe not as good as "Beyond Good and Evil"...only time will tell for me.
Humanity Hour 1Humanity Hour 1 by Scorpions
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $3.96
hopefully this cd will propel the scorps into "legend" status here in the states. {i've considered the scorpions to be legendary for a long time now}
United AbominationsUnited Abominations by Megadeth
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $4.40
METAL! almost a perfect cd. one of the best of the year by far.
Back to the RhythmBack to the Rhythm by Great White
Buy new: $15.99 / Used from: $11.98
solid comeback album from great white. just good "rock" music...something thats rare these days.
DominatorDominator by W.A.S.P.
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $8.39
Anything but a letdown. WASP delivers once again as always.
Gods of WarGods of War by Manowar
Buy used from: $20.99
So what if this cd has long interludes and plenty of dialogue....IT'S MANOWAR! They are not doing anything different than before, and that's good in my book!
Systematic ChaosSystematic Chaos by Dream Theater
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.99
it takes me months to fully absorb a Dream Theater cd but this one I took to rather quickly. Combines all elements of Dream Theater, old and new.
Dead AgainDead Again by Type O Negative
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $6.48
typical type o negative. combines all elements of previous albums. a little faster at times as well.
The Last SuckerThe Last Sucker by Ministry
Buy new: $16.98 / Used from: $5.61
This is supposedly the last Ministry album, but keep in mind that the current administration is still in office until January 09, so I'm sure Al Jougansen will still have plenty to write about. If you liked "Rio Grande Blood", you will like this one as well.
Gods Of War - LiveGods Of War - Live by Manowar
Buy used from: $15.40
"other bands play, manowar kills".......this is a perfect live album.
Power of the DamagerPower of the Damager by Prong
Buy new: $14.98 / Used from: $7.99
PRONG is back!!! This exceeded my expectations. I think "Scorpio Rising" kinda lowered the bar. This is the way prong should sound.
Black RainBlack Rain by Ozzy Osbourne
Buy used from: $0.94
Not his best, not his worst. The title track kinda reminds me of late 80's Ozzy with a twist. The ballads on this album are lame though. Overall, this is his best outing since "No More Tears".
The BlackeningThe Blackening by Machine Head
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $5.99
solid effort. best cd since their debut
From Conception: Live 1981From Conception: Live 1981 by Dokken
Buy new: $18.98 / Used from: $0.79
this is probably one of my favorite live albums of all time, and it was just released in 2007. A more raw side to Dokken that I wasn't familiar with.
Gothic KabbalahGothic Kabbalah by Therion
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $6.67
i've heard a few songs from Therion throughout the years but this is the first full album of their's that I invested in. I am not dissappointed whatsoever!
The Lost Tracks Of Danzig (2CD)The Lost Tracks Of Danzig (2CD) by Danzig
Buy new: $29.98 / Used from: $20.96
why some of the songs are just now seeing the light of day is beyond me. I guess this is the closest thing to a "classic" Danzig album that I'll get these days. I'm not complaining.
Spread the FireSpread the Fire by Fueled by Fire
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.62
thrash! never heard of these guys before. i just took a chance on them based on the cd cover. my gamble paid off!
The Dio YearsThe Dio Years by Black Sabbath
Buy new: $10.97 / Used from: $2.00
don't underestimate this era of sabbath. i may be in the minority here but i actually prefer this era. good to see it finally get some acknowledgement.
Mindcrime at the MooreMindcrime at the Moore by Queensrÿche
Buy new: $24.98 / Used from: $1.49
good cd but i recommend the dvd for full effect.
The Heroin Diaries SoundtrackThe Heroin Diaries Soundtrack
Buy new: $13.99 / Used from: $5.05
my initial review on this was a little harsh. got better with a few listens.
POISON'D!POISON'D! by Poison
Buy new: $5.99 / Used from: $1.38
just another excuse for Poison to tour in the summer. Should have included "Cover of the rolling stone" as its probably their best cover song. Now, get to writing a good album!
LibertadLibertad by Velvet Revolver
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $1.72
this band will breakup before 2009.
One for AllOne for All by Peter Criss
Buy new: $15.98 / Used from: $7.19
This is a huge mistake.
Lost HighwayLost Highway by Bon Jovi
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.97
why do I even bother with Bon Jovi anymore?
