 (1 Customer Review)
After the huge success of his self-titled debut album, Aldo Nova defied his record company, which basically wanted a carbon copy for his sophomore follow-up, and made a very loose concept album touching on themes such as dreams, imagination, and paradise. Subject...Aldo Nova still featured hooks and melodies galore (and an emphasis on keyboards and synthesizers), but the format was different. Perhaps this style curve confused listeners, and as a result, Subject...Aldo Nova sold far fewer copies than its predecessor and only went gold. (Nova also claimed Portrait didn't promote the album properly.) Three impressively spasmodic synthesizer segments -- "Subject's Theme," "Armageddon (Race Cars)," and "Armageddon" -- open Subject...Aldo Nova and lead into its highlight, "Monkey on Your Back." This disturbing anti-heroin song features a midtempo, menacing throb thanks to relentlessly roaring drums, bass guitar, and rhythm guitar and slow, sustained lead guitar fills. "Hey Operator" and "Cry Baby Cry" are carried by infectious choruses. "Victim of a Broken Heart" is the album's obligatory power ballad. Subject...Aldo Nova isn't as good as Aldo Nova, but Nova had the courage to try something a little bit different. ~ Bret Adams
Personnel includes: Aldo Nova, Billy Carmassi, Kevin Carlson, David Sykes.

Purchase Subject CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Kix Midnight Dynamite CD (1985)
Subject album
 $9.29   
By 1985, pop-metal had become one of the dominate genres in pop music thanks to the success of groups like Quiet Riot and Ratt. Although Kix's material remained more ambitious than the pop-metal groups they were lumped in with, the group went for a more pop-metal sound on Midnight Dynamite by using Beau Hill (best known for his work with Ratt and Warrant) as their producer. As a result, songs like the title track and "Layin' Rubber" have the slick, conventional sound expected of pop-metal recordings but manage to rise above the genre's trend with surprising hooks like the unexpectedly lovely harmonies that build up to the chorus in "Midnight Dynamite" and the bubblegum chants that are woven in "Layin' Rubber." The hooks in the songs don't ...
| | Rainbow Straight Between The Eyes CD (1982) Remastered
Subject CD music
$6.49 
Straight Between the Eyes undoubtedly has one of the worst album covers in rock history, but the record is an unexpected return to form from the journeyman hard rockers. Just a record before, Rainbow sounded as if they were verging on Billy Squier territory, but here, they reverse course and deliver a solid, no-frills hard rock record. It isn't just that the material is stronger, though it certainly is, it's that Roger Glover abandoned his smoothed-out, radio-ready production that marred Difficult to Cure. That's not to say that Straight Between the Eyes doesn't sound dated -- Rainbow was a band that was forever tied to its era -- but the album does have a harder-hitting, muscular sound that is more appropriate for the band. Similarly, ...

Subject songs
$9.89
Squier adds a little bit of keyboard color to his otherwise guitar-driven repertoire on 1984's Signs of Life, his fourth album that comes on the heels of his solid Emotions In Motion release two years prior. His highest charting single, "Rock Me Tonite," is a pulsating array of Squier's pent ...

Aldo Nova helped create 1980s pop-metal with his stunning self-titled 1982 debut. Driven by the hit single "Fantasy," Aldo Nova sold two million copies. The follow-up, 1983's Subject: Aldo Nova, was a departure in that it was a loose concept album. It was meticulously crafted, yet adventurous. Portrait Records ...

| | Femi Kuti Shoki Shoki CD (1999)
Subject songs
$16.29
Kuti's song topics strike a balance among sexual braggadocio ("Beng Beng Beng"), political concerns ("Sorry Sorry"), and cultural pride ("Blackman Know Yourself"), the last of which picks up its message from James Brown's "Say It Loud (I'm Black and I'm Proud"). All of SHOKI, SHOKI is infused with non-stop grooves and chugging beats as Kuti often doubles up on his bandleading responsibilities with some sinewy and soulful sax playing. The 37-year-old bandleader includes ambient nuances that beautifully juxtapose his music's polyrhythmic tendencies ("Truth Don Die") and works with the Roots to provide a direct link to hip-hop's origins ("Blackman Know Yourself").
