Popular Reviews

Rip It Up by Orange Juice

Title track OK, the rest of the album is an also ran, a bit boring

Iron Maiden by Iron Maiden

Fantastic debut album by one of the greatest hard rock bands. Starts strong with Prowler, a great riff. Slow down with Remember tomorrow before punching into Running free followed quickly by another classic track Phantom of the opera. A couple of "album tracks" follow before the great Charlotte and finale with the title track. A great album, well put together, it all flows smoothly. It was clear, with this album, in 1980 that Iron Maiden were going to be big.

Parallel Lines by Blondie

Fantastic album. It starts with a phone ring and then punches straight into Hanging on the telephone. One of the best "intros" of any album. The album continues with a mix of punk and new wave, fast and slow. All in all, a very well put together album.

Duck Rock by Malcolm McLaren

Funny album. Quite hard to decide if I like it or not but it's fairly pleasant to listen to.
