| | Metal Ballads CD
Sony Special Products' ten-song Metal Ballads collection takes a few liberties with the genre. While hair metal mainstays like Europe ("Carrie"), Bad English ("When I See You Smile") and Warrant ("I Saw Red") fit the mold, outright pop acts such as the Bangles ("Eternal Flame" REO Speedwagon ("Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore") and Bonnie Tyler ("Total Eclipse of the Heart") should have appeared on another, more appropriately titled compilation. ~ James Christopher Monger

Metal Ballads album
 $14.59   
As a director or as a musician, Rob Zombie shows no signs of closing the door on either of his creative endeavors anytime soon. Returning with his first album since 2006's Educated Horses, after several delays following this record's completion in 2008 -- due to his work on Halloween 2, lack of promotion, and time spent shopping for a new label after 18 years of recording for Geffen -- Zombie has since gone on to say that the songs on Hellbilly Deluxe 2 were his easiest to write. This could be because it was his first outing to include help from his bandmates (longtime touring comrades guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D, and drummer Tommy C) but it's probably more attributed to the fact that ...

Metal Ballads music CDs
$28.69
The World Is a Thorn is the sound of Jesus leading his flock down a musical path that was built upon the foundations of hedonism and power (as well as a general fondness for the occult) and staging a coup. Rebellion can go both ways, and Seattle's Demon Hunter is as embarrassed as anyone about Christian rock's well-earned reputation for conjuring up lifeless, cookie-cutter slabs of faith-based treacle that carry the weight of a fortune cookie prediction. The band's fifth full-length offering is both composed and volatile. It's a carefully plotted collection of staccato, melodic aggro-hymns that owe as much to early-'90s grunge as they do modern, 21st century metalcore, with lyrics that dabble in the same Lord of the Rings-inspired, ...

Metal Ballads album
$19.49
Another album, another flop and the members of Saxon decided to make another return to more commercial territory. Destiny is typical late 80's sleek pop metal of the lowest quality. Opening with a cover of Christopher Cross' "Ride Like the Wind" was surprising at best, and the album's only decent offering, "Where The Lightning Strikes" follows as track number two. Brave souls might want to continue beyond this point, but only the strongest will survive the atrocious, Titanic-based ...

| | Forever Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons CDs (2007) Collector's Edition
Metal Ballads album
$15.99
A budget box set might seem like a contradiction in terms, but that's what this is. The box is actually a metal can, and inside are three previously released ten-track budget compilations of the music of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, all from Rhino's Flashback division: Sherry and Other Hits (not to be confused with the 4 Seasons' 1962 debut album, Sherry & 11 Others); Big Girls Don't Cry and Other Hits (not to be confused with the 4 Seasons' 1963 album Big Girls Don't Cry and Twelve Others), and My Eyes Adored You and Other Hits. Almost all of the tracks were actually credited separately to either the Four Seasons or to lead singer Frankie Valli as a solo act when first released, rather than to Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons together. (The only exception is the version of "Book of Love" from the 1985 album Streetfighter, the most recently recorded track here by far.) Plenty of the hits of both are included in what is really a miscellaneous batch of 30 tracks lasting only 90 minutes despite being spread across three discs; plenty of the hits are missing, too, among ...
| | Kutiman CD (2008)
Metal Ballads CD music
$15.29
Ophir "Kutiman" Kutiel is a 25-year-old multi-instrumentalist, composer, and producer based in Tel Aviv. When a friend introduced him to the sounds of 1960s funk and Afro-beat, he was immediately entranced, and this album was the eventual result. It shows clearly that he's been listening hard to the records of his heroes -- Fela Kuti, James Brown, Sly Stone -- and that he's learned a lot from them. It also shows his impressive instrumental chops. What the album lacks is a critical mass of interesting songs, or even grooves that are substantial enough to sustain a full song's length. "Bango Fields" starts off fairly strong, but never develops enough to be worth listening to for the full four minutes; the horn chart on "No Reason for You" is very nice, but the sung melody is nowhere; "Take a Minute" is nicely jazzy, but doesn't have enough substance to it to actually be jazz. The album's strongest ...
