I'll be intrigued to see if you'll include any of the above mentioned bands if they come up.

I'm listening to this album for the first time in ever. I have no idea why so many people hate it. It's far too boring to hate.

I think it's fair to say that anything that's on that list is fair game, so if anyone here has a problem with, say, Bowie or whatever coming up then take it up with Martin Popoff. I'll be following the list precisely.

Yeah I wasn't that impressed when I reviewed it for Metal Month last year. TBH the only Anthrax album other than that I've heard is "Fistful of metal", and I loved that.

I think you'd love Spreading the Disease. It's sort of at a halfway point between traditional metal and thrash. It's badass but still has a sense of melody that the band toned down a lot later on.

One of the most underrated Anthrax songs of all time.

I genuinely enjoy listening to Rising Force.

I've never actually listened to an entire Malmsteen album. Listening to his music just always felt like listening to classical music that forgot to write actual music.

Wasn't there supposed to be some kind of "review matrix"?

There was. Sorry about that. And here it is.

Generally it's the same as the one we use in the PRAC. The first six sections will likely be already filled in by me, as they're going to be the same for everyone. You can write any comments you want (long or short) in the appropriate box. Ratings matrix next...
