ZZ Top - Eliminator Review

Obviously a classic for songs such as "Legs", "Sharp Dressed Man", and "Gimmie All Your Lovin".  I recommend "TV Dinners" off side two.  Awesome song, you will not be disappointed.  The album is great all the way through.  Definitely a classic blues rock album.  A must have for your collection.

Jefferson Starship - Spitfire Review

This is their 3rd album and I have mixed feelings about it.  Released in 1976, it is a mix of rock and disco.  The rock element of the record is about 60 percent and the disco 40 percent.  It is not a bad album in my opinion but it is not great.  The guitar is awesome, the vocals are good, and everything else is just mediocre.  I usually like albums from this time period but I am just not feeling this one.  Maybe I will give it another listen in a few months and see if it is better?

Golden Earring - To The Hilt Review

Simply put, I do not like this album.  I couldn't find a decent song on it.  Quite frankly, it sounds like shitty disco to me.  Every time it starts to get kind of heavy and rock sounding, it switches to shitty disco sounding crap.  I am actually taking this album out of my collection.  It's horrible, stay away from it.

Petra - Never Say Die Review

Released in 1981.  A christian rock group that is very similar sounding to REO Speedwagon.  Not a great album but there are a few good songs on it.  It is kind of all over the place musically.  It is not really a record that I would listen to over and over again.  My favorite cut on the album is track 2 on side 1, Chameleon.  Not very much to say about the album really, kind of mediocre.

Pink Floyd - The Final Cut Review

Simply put, I don't not like this album.  I am a huge Pink Floyd fan but just can't get into this.  It is basically The Wall part 2.  Released in 1983, it is a post war concept album dreamed up by Roger Waters.  The main problem with this record is that it seems all Roger Waters.  The rest of the band is there somewhere in the background playing very tidy instruments for Mr. Waters.  There is no musical feeling to the album save for Roger Waters belting out verse after verse of war hate.  I can see why the other members decided to leave after this.  It really did not seem like a collaborative effort.  Very repetitive and generic to me, but a must own because it is Pink Floyd.  It will stay on thee shelf for awhile.  I will more than likely revisit it in the future.  Maybe I will like it then?

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin Review

Their first album released in 1969 remains one of their best.  Not a bad cut on this album.  Every song is great.  They definitely had a unique sound for the time and were a well gelled band for sure.  Robert Plant has that unmistakable voice and Jimmy Page is awesome on the guitar of course.  John Paul Jones is superb on bass and the organ, and John Bonham plays a nice clean sounding drums.  This album is a must have for anybody's collection because you will listen to it over and over again.  It never gets stale and is always kick ass sounding.  It is hard to pick a favorite cut on this record because they all all great.  I am going to go with Dazed And Confused for my favorite.  The last song on side one.  Check it out!    

Pink Floyd - The Endless River Review

In the words of Jeff Lebowski, "Far fucking out man."  This album is pretty awesome even if you are not a Pink Floyd fan, I think you would have to appreciate this.  Recorded in 1993 and released on 10/11/2014.  Contains 3 members of the group (no Roger Waters).  Double album and it comes with a full size 16 page glossy containing pics of the original 1993 sessions.  It also comes with a digital download coupon.   The album is all instrumental sans the last song which has a few verses.  The whole flow of the album is quintessential Pink Floyd as you would expect.  It sounds a lot like Momentary Lapse of Reason meets the Division Bell.  It's no DSOTM, it's some next, next, next, next gen PF music.  It is very listenable at anytime and I highly recommend that you pick it up and give it a listen.  Just don't expect it to be rocking out or even heavy sounding, it's very mellow Floyd.  Pick it up on Vinyl, of course!
