ULTRAVOX - Brilliant (2012)





A passable album of synth pop and rock with tinges of the new wave sound. This is the band's first studio release in 18 years !!!!!...not a brilliant album due to the restrained and somewhat tied down vocals of power singer Midge Ure.

KISS "love gun" cd/vinyl, 1977. #4 US, #13 AU

this is KISS' sixth studio album in a period of four years(add to that two double vinyl live sets), and you have one hell of a prolific output, and in the next two years they released two more,four solo sets and a double best of set....great achievement IMO
sure, i like KISS a lot,great live performers(never missed them on an Aussie tour to date!), also have all their albums to date...and ive found what they consistantly do,album-wise, is always have one maybe two great tracks on an album that counteract with a couple of dud tracks also, and this one is no exception.
only one on here i love(the title track) and two that are simply aweful, but to add to the mix they also have a cover version on here of The Crystals "then he kissed me", retitled "then she kissed me"...which is ok and makes the pass mark for me.
this also happens to be the first KISS album that features lead vocals by all four original members, Ace gets his on 'shock me', Peter on 'hooligan' and Gene and Paul each share duties on four seperate occasions...strangely enough,for the most part Gene's tracks(2,3,8,9) arent to bad even though are they have immature teenage-like lyrics revolving around sex and bits of his anatomy, as do most of the songs he writes and sings...guess that says something about how much he truly loves himself and all things Gene Simmons LOL!
that aside, not a bad album, infact pretty good effort for KISS, who ive always thought of as a great singles band,lousy album makers(overall!)
just an afterthought....
while seeking out the links i found i got chills up my spine watching every track...these guys were never great muso's(except Ace Frehley), but theres something about men in leather and make-up that is electric...well, not all men, just KISS LMAO!

from my library (cd)



Alright, which one of you guys have my Another Side Of Bob Dylan cd. It should be next in my in order cd listen, and
it's not. This is serious, people. It better show up or there will be hell to pay. In the meantime I'll go with the
next one. Superb as expected by me after being captured by the first four. Of course the purists were starting to
freak out at this point. Where's my folk Bob? He's on here, just not as much, as Bob was beginning to add some noise
to his still masterful lyrics. Love 9 of the 11 tracks on this one, and the electric move didn't bother me at all.
Dylan's first single to chart in the U.S., a weak #39 for Subterrranean Homesick Blues which kicks off the album,
and it's not till side 2 that we here folk Bob. Maggie's Farm was also a single. His first album to go top 10 here,
after much better success in the U.K. We americans are slow at times. I guess I'll move Bob from the folk to the
rock forum with this one. As far as the missing cd, I was thinking Lloyds luggage was a little fuller when he left,
but I let it slide.
