Revelation

And here we have a new journey vocalist. Arnel Pineda. It may seem you are hearing Steve Perry, it is unbelievable.
It is a record that made me forget 'generations'. I do not have anything personal against JSS, but honestly, the ones who love classical journey period can see clearly that voice didn't suit ...
New classics: where did i lose your love, after all these years and maybe what i needed.
These are the 3 songs for what is worth buying the record. My version is the nicest package, not only has the bonus CD with classics re-recorded, but the Live DVD (region 1 :-( ) with Las Vegas Concert... so it is well worth, and a steal price :-D ...

Somebody to explain me why in US, 11,88$ (2cd+dvd) and in europe 18€ (2cd) only ... :-(

Although for me it will not reach Trial by fire or Arrival, it is a nice recover from Generations.

9/10 great to have. Nice compilation.

Vox in excelso

Any saracen record is at least a very good one. Main guitar player composer Rob Bendelow and the strong Steve Bettney vocals are always awesome for me..
Can they top Heroes, sains and fools?... maybe one day.. Vox in excelso is a concept opus and although songs are independent they sing a story (of the templar knights). Some parts are spoken and that may lose some fans, but ... It is original, and in my opinion is nearly as good as Red sky.
Best song for me is title track and the rendition from meet me at midnight, but the whole record is a great one.

Empires

This has been a record hard to find, now i own it :-D
Jimi Jamison has a very special 'aor' fantastic voice and quality of his songs ranks at top.
Cry tough and empires are between my favourites. the duet with Lisa Fraizer is outstanding. The rest is nice melodies.

empires may crumble, love will remain
constant and timeless, the endless refrain
empires may crumble, into the sea

I am always here is also the 'baywatch song'.

A plus is it has four bonus songs, 3 survivor covers and a last studio one. That is positive so potential buyers enjoy.

8/10 nice to have

Ballbreaker

This record belongs to the world tour I went to see ACDC, so it is kind of special for me... And it is true, you have to see acdc live once in your life, at least :-)
From here I like a lot hail caesar and the furor. Cover you in oil -good video!- and hard as a rock are not bad either. And I think big gun should have made it here ... :-(
I have to listen carefully yo this one, since I use to listen always same songs, and because this one a real bargain, I picked it up.
All my ACDC records are the remastered versions.

Highway to Hell

My favourite song from ACDC was inside this record, touch too much. I cant understand why is not included in the concerts... Well, ok, I admit it is a personal one, as this record is full of A1 material; Title track, girls got rhythm, walk all over you, shot down in flames, night prowler ...
Believed as the finest record from acdc, if permited by next opus, back in black ... anyway to awesome records.
ACDC were able to replace the irreplaceable..

It was time since I wanted to have it in my collection, as it should be in every collection which deserves a little recognition.

A bunch of anthems that made history.

10/10 classic status

Let there be rock

What a record! Finally mine. I've never been so 'ACDC' since the concert, and that is 12 years ago ...
Well, this is a 8-track masterpiece, in which maybe there is one track i do not love it so much, the rest are awesome, and the ones that go usually live: let there be rock, hell ain't a bad place to be and rosie.
Title track for me it has always been misterious for me:
'...but Tchaikovsky had the news ...' because I love him and I do not believe in 'just luck'... why the hell did they picked Tchaikovsky?? answer: roll over Beethoven from Chuck Berry.
Anyway, classic status, for me this record made ACDC enter into history in Capital Letters.
Only little black point ... why only 8 songs ... :-(
