After a four-year absence, which, in retrospect, actually spared them from the abuse suffered by most metal bands during the peak years of alternative rock, Iced Earth returned to action with 1995's Burnt Offerings. Known for their uncompromising defense of epic classic metal, the band gets right back to work with the elaborate title track's surprising mix of soft piano tinklings, chorused vocals, double kick drums, and crushing guitars. Remarkably, it all seems to work, and while his ultra-dramatic vocal style occasionally verges on the absurd, resourceful new vocalist Matthew Barlow ultimately carries the day on such standout tracks as "Creator Failure" and "Brainwashed." Then, just when you thought things couldn't get any more grandiose, the band embarks upon the ponderous, 16-minute trilogy (something which would become a tradition for concluding subsequent releases) that is "Dante's Inferno" -- a piece of daunting complexity that will no doubt terrify as many as it delights. Still, classic metal has often been about pomp anyway, and this is what Iced Earth is all about, take it or leave it. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia

Jazz producer Orrin Keepnews once argued that when you get down to it, there are two main types of jazz: before Charlie Parker and after Charlie Parker; similarly, one could argue that there are only two types of tango: before and after Astor Piazzolla. Just as Parker introduced a whole new way of playing jazz, Piazzolla radically altered the tango by bringing in jazz influence, playing it with different chords and making it darker. Piazzolla certainly wasn't without opposition -- he was hailed as a visionary by many, but his opponents saw his breakthroughs as musical heresy and an insult to Argentinean culture. In Buenos Aires, the bandoneon player was even beaten and threatened! A diverse collection that came out in 1999, The Rough Guide to Tango shows us how tango sounded before and after Piazzolla. Hearing such Piazzolla recordings as "Melancolico Buenos Aires" and ...

Johnny Hallyday's self-titled 1969 album was not one of his more typical releases, going into heavier British-influenced rock (though all the songs are sung in French) than the poppier rock & roll for which he's more widely known. It could be, however, the Hallyday album most likely to interest non-French listeners, if only for a strong if unlikely connection to a famous British rock band. The Small Faces -- then on the verge of breaking up -- backed him up for three of the tracks, all recorded at a January 3, 1969 session. These included a French-language cover of the group's "That Man," plus two songs by Small Faces members Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane, "What You Will" (later cut by Humble Pie for their first album) and "News Report," never done by the Small Faces on their own records. What's more, all but one of the other songs were penned by Mick Jones (the same Mick Jones who'd go on to Spooky Tooth and Foreigner) and Tommy Brown, who also did arrangements and played on the album. So after all that, how's the music? Well, it does sound a little like cookie-cutter early British guitar-organ hard rock with a somewhat overwrought French singer. Not that it bothered Hallyday's following, with the album going to number one in France and yielding a hit single there, "Riviere...Ouvre Ton Lit," that became a staple of his live sets ever since. Nonetheless, Hallyday himself said in his autobiography that he hated the record and considered it his worst ...
