Though they had recently lost lyricist and principal songwriter Jason Newsted to Metallica, Arizona thrashers Flotsam & Jetsam neatly avoided the sophomore slump with 1988's No Place for Disgrace. The album basically repeats the formula of their debut but benefits from a cleaner yet still-in-your face production job. And while Newsted collects a few co-writing credits, guitarist Michael Gilbert takes over, guiding the band through the excellent title track, the morbid "Dreams of Death," and a chaotic version of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting." "Escape from Within" is one of the album's two standouts, slowly building from its melodic intro into full-on thrashing intensity, gliding toward an apparent finale, then exploding again. The second standout has to be the brutal "I Live You Die," which gallops along on its massive bassline, twin guitar harmonies, and abrupt start-stop dynamics. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia
Recorded at Music Grinder and Track Record, Hollywood, California, Pacific, Chatsworth, California and Preferred Sound, Woodland Hills, California between December 1987 & February 1988.
Flotsam & Jetsam: Eric AK Knutson (vocals); Ed Carlson, Michael Gilbert (guitar); Troy Gregory (bass); Kelly Smith (drums, percussion).
No Place For Disgrace Music Flotsam & Jetsam No Place For Disgrace Songs No Place For Disgrace Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews Good album...
but not as good as DftD. Newstead bailed on these guys and this album shows the band could still compose music worth listening to. This would get 5 stars, except for the fact they covered Elton John and it sounds good, but doesn't seem to fit with the album. That's just my opinion.

 FLOTS TIL DEATH
Who would've thought, the mighty flots' first record without j. n. is head and shoulders above Doomsday...Troy Gregory doesn't bother trying to fill Newsted's shoes and the result is the greatest Flots album ever!

i also bought this disc since i had it on tape when i got it new. this is the follow up to "doomsday..." i love the sound! the only downfall for me is the cover of an elton john song. CD universe sells and ships items at a reasonable price and time delivered, big ups to them! if u like 80's metal... go buy this, it rocks!!

When I was about 10 this came out, I thought it was great then, and still do.
Im glad Jason left, he wasnt much of a song writer, this album proves it.

| | Metal Church Dark CD (1987)
No Place For Disgrace
$7.69
Metal Church's excellent debut had impressed critics and fans alike with its ferocious blend of classic metal and thrash. But by the time they released its follow-up, 1986's The Dark, the band seemed to be struggling with their direction and wrestling with internal problems. The fact that they were collectively one of the most unattractive bands ever (even by heavy metal standards) didn't help matters either, especially in image-conscious America, so it was no surprise when the band's appeal remained firmly confined to the metal underground. Which is too bad, since The Dark contained some of the group's best material, including the brutal intensity of "Start the Fire" and "Method to Your Madness," as well as what was probably their best-known song, the astoundingly heavy epic "Watch the Children Play." ...

Wuthering Heights just may have created a new subgenre of heavy metal -- frantic prog metal -- with their fourth studio release overall, 2007's The Shadow Cabinet. Sure, bands such as Iron Maiden, Queensr˙che, and Dream Theater may have helped trailblaze prog metal. But Wuthering Heights take it to a whole new dramatic level ...
| | Sonata Arctica Unia CD (2007)
No Place For Disgrace
$13.19 
Named after the Finnish word for "dreams," Unia was Sonata Arctica's fifth and heretofore most controversial studio album, being that it found the group experimenting with novel songwriting techniques, and diverting from the straight-and-narrow of their career path for the first time. Problem was, these new elements mostly served to subvert the group's extremely competent and popular power metal formula with unprecedented doses of commercialism -- likely due to band leader and chief composer Tony Kakko's recent taste of pop success through a song he wrote for the winner of Finland's American Idol equivalent. Whatever the cause, this sudden change of direction sparked a veritable war of words across the Internet among their fans, which was somewhat ironic if you consider that Sonata Arctica's material was always relatively predictable -- just heavier and faster. Change is change, though, and the familiar presence of a few semi-fantastical lyrical themes ("For the Sake of Revenge," "Fly with the Black Swan") and overly dramatic ballads ("Under Your Tree," "Good Enough Is Good Enough") apparently wasn't enough to make up for the sudden disappearance of those rapid-fire power-thrashers of yore (flashes of which can nevertheless be heard in album standouts "Caleb" and "The Harvest"). And yet, if one were to come ...
