The eponymously titled Vicious Rumors isn't their first album, but it definitely is one of the finest moments in their lengthy career. At times sounding like hybrid of Bruce Dickinson and Geoff Tate on vocals with Judas Priest as a backing band, Vicious Rumors do one thing and they do it well: rock hard. There is very little here that rings innovative or distinctive from the rest of the heavy metal pack, but Vicious Rumors do their thing without venturing into pop-metal fluff territory or prog rock workouts galore. Die-hard fans will celebrate the recent reissue of this disc by Wounded Bird in 2005, and those who missed the boat the first time will be well-served in taking this for a spin. ~ Rob Theakston
Vicious Rumors: Carl Albert (vocals), Geoff Thorpe (guitar), Mark McGhee (guitar, mandolin, vocals), Dave Starr (bass), Larry Howe (drums).

Vicious Rumors CD music
$7.25 
Possessing metal pipes like few before him, leonine Steelheart yelper Michael Matijevic scarred the airwaves forever when he hammered the simply unmatchable chorus of the hairball "I'll Never Let You Go": ludicrous and sublime, akin to Whitney Houston hitting the hot spot in "I Will Always Love You." The opening strands of "Everybody Loves Eileen" bring Ratt out of the cellar before the cut curls into a pop n' fresh roller coaster ride. The remainders on this ridiculous dish are also overlong examples of excess but not as memorable, paying homage to Whitesnake and other flailing stylistic ventures. "I'll Never Let You Go" is available on some quality collections and no aficionado of poodle pomp should let that song go, otherwise leave Steelheart in peace with the music it helped lay to rest. ~ Doug Stone

Following the success of their 1990 eponymous major-label debut, Vicious Rumors embarked on a grueling tour supporting several other A-level pop-metal acts and then returned to the studio for their follow-up. The results were less than commercially successful, but that's more of a reflection on music and cultural mainstream shifts away from heavy metal and embracing the new-to-them music that was known as grunge. Welcome to the Ball pretty ...

Vicious Rumors CD music
$15.05 
The unprecedented worldwide success of multinational British-based power metallers DragonForce has cast an unexpected light upon German speed metal trailblazers Helloween. Perhaps the first band to convincingly combine thrash metal intensity with the melody and majestic imagery of the NWOBHM, and by extension the blueprint upon which DragonForce based their "extreme power metal" style, Helloween were a heavy metal institution, but one that had very much fallen by the wayside upon the departure of classic-era singer Michael Kiske and founder/guitarist Kai Hansen in the mid-'90s. Singer Andi Deris has been a permanent fixture ever since, but the band has found stable lineups difficult to come by, and the quality of material has been equally inconsistent. Following 2005's Keeper of The Seven Keys: The Legacy, on which the band attempted to revive the style of their mid-'80s classics, Gambling with the Devil is a little more calculated. The appearance of Saxon mainstay Biff Byford on the intro ...

As reflected by the evocative simplicity of their name, Sweden's Wolf are a throwback to an earlier, simpler time, when the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was defining most of the sub-genres (speed, black, etc.) still very much in vogue today. Of course, ultimate purists that they are, these subsequent developments bore little interest to the members of Wolf, who used their eponymous debut album to reach back beyond them to replicate that era's unmatched sense of wonder and excitement. Not surprisingly, their quest led them straight to the galloping riffs, dual guitar harmonies, mystical subjects, and soaring vocals of Iron Maiden, and most pundits would agree that the results are nothing short of stunning for their authenticity of spirit, as well as, more importantly, their own merits. First up is the thrilling, one-minute-and-forty-three-second opener "In the Shadow of Steel" -- so short and sweet, you can't believe it Wolf could stand to leave it at that. Thankfully, the hyper-energized trio take a little more conventional time to enjoy their next set of similarly outstanding singles candidates: the excellent "Moonlight," "The Parasite," and the sitar-introduced, naturally Eastern-flavored "Electric Raga." Up next, "The Voyage" is only slightly less memorable, the back-to-form "Desert Caravan" slows things down just a bit to let its majestic melodies effectively conjure up the barren, wind-blasted vistas of its namesake, and yet the ensuing standout "The Sentinel" (not a cover of the Judas Priest track, incidentally) arguably tops it with its stunning intro section and rampant, galloping charge thereafter. The instrumental workout "243" is, ironically enough, a tad on the dull side (just like most Iron Maiden instrumentals), ...
| | Enuff Z'Nuff Strength CD (1991)
Vicious Rumors album
$11.39
At the start of their career, Chicago's Enuff Z'Nuff were touted as the rightful heirs to Cheap Trick thanks to their uncanny talent for combining alluring pop melodies with controlled hard rock crunch. Like their late-'70s heroes, Enuff Z'Nuff took most of their inspiration from a single influence: the Beatles. And where the Trick imbued their initially innocent-seeming pop gems with a dark, sinister edge, Enuff Z'Nuff, in accordance with their environment (late-'80s pop-metal), spun their music with a liberal dose of decadence and debauchery. Indeed, raunchy rockers such as "Heaven or Hell" and "Missing You" (like the bulk of their self-titled debut) stick close to this formula. But Strength soon introduces an entirely deeper side of the band, with lush string arrangements and chorused vocals contrasting perfectly with the ascending and descending chords of the title track. From here on out, anything goes, as the foursome rip through racy hard rock gems like "In Crowd" and "The World Is a Gutter," then relax into stunning power ballads like "Goodbye" and "Blue Island." The material which lies between is even better, and the two tracks which kick off the album's second half, "Mother's Eyes" and "Baby Loves You," are simply unbelievable pop songs. Take away three or four of its 14 tracks, and Strength would be a perfect album, but a little ...
