Done with Mirrors
Artist: Aerosmith
Community Score: 7.11

Joe Perry returned to the fold in 1985, and Aerosmith turned out their finest record since Rocks. Unlike the records that preceded it, Done With Mirrors is powered by the same smart-assed lyrics and filthy guitars that formed the core of Aerosmith's best songs. It didn't receive the commercial or critical attention that Permanent Vacation did... Read More

GTR
Artist: GTR
Community Score: 3.00

Most supergroups don't last long, and GTR was no exception to the rule. Steve Hackett and Steve Howe -- lead guitarists for the prime periods of Genesis and Yes, respectively -- formed the band in 1986, not with the intention of reviving classic prog rock, but with the idea of making a stadium-shaking hard rock band. It was two veterans with... Read More

Choice Cuts
Artist: Iggy Pop
Community Score: 10.00

Following the success of David Bowie's version of "China Girl," RCA assembled Choice Cuts, a compilation of Iggy Pop's two albums for the label. Actually, "compilation" is a misleading word: Side one of Choice Cuts features side one of The Idiot, while side two features side one of Lust for Life. It effectively illustrates the differences...

The Best of the Scorpions, Vol. 2
Artist: Scorpions

The Best of the Scorpions, Vol. 2 contains ten songs from the Scorpions' late-'70s and early-'80s records, prior to their crossover hits "No One Like You" and "Rock You Like a Hurricane." As a result, there's not much here that the average metalhead will be intimately familiar with, but it does capture some of the highlights from those records,... Read More

We Want Moore!
Artist: Gary Moore

This album is a jaw-dropping affair for anyone who believes that Eddie Van Halen is the ultimate guitar-shredding experience. Gary Moore's classic live album We Want Moore! is about as good as it gets. Drawing mainly from the Irish guitarist's previous two studio albums, every cut gets a shot in the arm from Moore's extended soloing, most... Read More

Artist: Molly Hatchet

Nice collection of their best-known tunes. Some of Southern rock's finest moments. ~ Cub Koda, All Music Guide Read More

The Big Lad in the Windmill
Artist: It Bites
Louder Than God: The Best of Blue Cheer
Artist: Blue Cheer

Released in 1986 on Rhino records, Louder Than God is an adequate "best of" collection for those interested in a brief but complete assortment of Blue Cheer's greatest proto-metal hits. Rhino wisely chose studio wiz Bill Inglot to remaster the 13 tracks on this offering, making it one of, if not the best, post-'70s repackaging of Blue Cheer... Read More
