| | Winger Headed For A Heartbreak CD Winger Discography of CDs
While the graphic design on Headed for a Heartbreak may not exactly be modern art at its finest, the contents inside Collectables 2006 greatest-hits anthology of Winger captures the band at its peak during the prime years of hair metal in the late '80s. All of the group's biggest hits are present including "Headed for a Heartbreak," "Easy Come, Easy Go," "Miles Away," and "Seventeen." There's no real fancy packaging, liner notes, or remastered sound quality, and die-hard fans may be better off seeking out the 2001 Very Best of Winger package for a more comprehensive look at Winger's career. However, those wanting just the hits won't go wrong in picking this disc up for their collection. ~ Rob Theakston

Purchase Headed For A Heartbreak CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Hammerfall Glory To The Brave CD (1997) Deluxe Edition
Headed For A Heartbreak
 $13.49   
Glory to the Brave is indeed a classic power metal record -- no frills or progressive elements here, just speed-laden, melodic, grandiose anthems about honor, glory, and slaying dragons. And the group manages to generally steer clear of the campiness that plagued bands like Manowar. Of note are the pro-Crusades lyrics of "Steel Meets Steel," atypical sentiments in a genre known for rebelling against religion. Overall this stuff isn't new or groundbreaking, but it's performed passionately enough that you'd think you were starting to experience the New Wave of British Heavy Metal the first time around. Hammerfall also gets points for covering Warlord's long-lost classic "Child of the Damned." ~ Bryan Reesman
1998 album featuring the title cut, which doubles as the first single extracted from it. Nine tracks total, all sure to please fans of old school metal bands like Iron Maiden and Fates Warning. Nuclear ...
| | Happy The Man Beginnings CD (1995)
Headed For A Heartbreak
$15.59
In 1990, the label Cuneiform released Beginnings, filling a huge gap in Happy the Man's discography. The jewel of American progressive rock recorded its first album in 1977, but its members had been hard at work for over three years. This CD contains home recordings from February 1974 to July 1975, for a total of seven songs not available anywhere else. Sound quality is surprisingly good (and much better than on Death's Crown, another archival recording, released by Cuneiform in 1999). The lineup featured here is the same one that would record Happy the Man a year and a half later (Stanley Whitaker, Kit Watkins, Frank Wyatt, Rick Kennell, Mike Beck), with the addition of singer/flutist Cliff Fortney who would leave the behind shortly after these recordings took place. "Gretchen's Garden" reaches the same level of emotion as the "Death's Crown" suite, while "Partly the State" is fueled by the same complex quirkiness found in classic tracks like "Stumpy Meets the Firecracker in Stencil Forest" or "Knee Bitten Nymphs in Limbo." "Passion's Passing" is a typical Wyatt ballad, delicate and a little bit naïve. Whitaker's "Portrait of a Waterfall" is more banal, but it features Wyatt's alto saxophone as the lead instrument -- a rarity. In general, the band's writing and sound are pretty similar ...

Headed For A Heartbreak
$12.35 
Breaking Benjamin's fourth foray into the crowded waters of early 21st century alternative metal/post-grunge feels a lot like their first three. That's good news for longtime fans of the brooding Pennsylvania quartet, who pound each of the 11 tracks on DEAR AGONY into submission like ...
| | King Diamond House Of God CD (2000) Reissue; Remastered
Headed For A Heartbreak
$11.18 
This pretentious, epic, almost sappy concept record follows lyrical suit with King Diamond's previous offerings, however, House of God lacks the musical commitment of the artist's best recordings, Them and Abigal. Rare in his ability to manage a successful solo career with a long-time band partnership, King Diamond was very busy releasing numerous albums, both on his own and with Mercyful Fate in the '90s. Quantity might have taken precedence of quality as the prolific vocalist and songwriter ended up offering several sub par discs during this period. Long time guitarist and co-songwriter Andy La Rocque joins Diamond, drummer John Herbert, guitarist Glen Drover, and bassist Dave Harbour on House of God. Each member delivers fine performances, but the opportunities to stretch out are rare as Diamond pastes his obtuse prose (more like an album-length short story than poetry or song lyrics) all over mediocre riffs and flat arrangements. Creative ambition and a dark quirkiness are decidedly core ...

| | Slayer World Painted Blood Vinyl LP (2009)
Headed For A Heartbreak
 $17.35
Of the "big four" original thrash bands (the other three being Metallica, Anthrax, and Megadeth), Slayer was the least compromising and most consistent. As such, 2009's WORLD PAINTED BLOOD recalled more than the title of Slayer's 1986 masterpiece REIGN IN BLOOD; it shared the earlier album's ferocious aggression and trademark speed metal-meets-hardcore sound. ...

Headed For A Heartbreak
$12.95
One thing you need to know as you approach Spiritu's eponymous debut: expect the unexpected. On the surface, the New Mexico foursome appear to be just another stoner rock band, and yet their music boldly faces the risk of generic pigeonholing, and counters it with the most obvious and, at the same time, most elusive antidote of all: great songs. Sure, nine-minute opener "Z" may evoke shades of Australian space rock/prog rock weirdos Alchemist; their cover of the old Sir Lord Baltimore nugget "Woman Tamer" may smack of stoner rock supremos Monster Magnet (not least because Monster Magnet recycled the song's distinctive ascending riff elsewhere); "Glorywhore" may stretch its melancholy tendrils into Alice in Chains territory; and the whole thing is, of course, blessed by the spirit of Black Sabbath. But the members of Spiritu manage to integrate these touchstones in such convincing fashion that the resulting, peculiar blend easily stands up on its own terms. They also have an ace in the hole in expressive vocalist Jadd, whose surprising ...
