This album is like a template for how to make commercially viable, hook-laden modern rock. It fuckin rules.
Well, I've been in a funky mood for a while, and especially after the last AOTM rec. So, today, when I saw a brand new video of Myles Kennedy singing and playing a funky tune, I almost fainted! Take some time to watch this gem, you won't regret it!
One of my favorite Beach Boys songs. Very different from some of the more well known stuff as it was originally supposed to be a song for Dennis Wilson’s second solo album. The band convinced him to make it a BB track and that was for the better as his second solo album never fully materialized so chances are it would have been lost otherwise.
His voice was pretty beaten up at this point from alcohol, cigarettes, and years of drug use but to be honest, it makes the song that much better. It’s an already emotionally deep track and the bit of roughness and tiredness in his voice compliments everything and adds even more depth. Forever my favorite Beach Boy and a brilliant talent that we lost far too soon.

A little power metal and swords in the air never hurt anyone.
Howard Jones. One of modern metal’s finest vocalists
New Helloween song 
This is only the single edit version, the album version is like 12 minutes long.

This was a local band in the late 80s where I'm from. They are a great example of how the music business can destroy good talent. We opened for them a couple times. In 87/88, they were getting courted by some major labels. A local label just starting out tempted them with a better offer and promises of, well, everything. They took the bait and signed with the local (Grudge Records). Shortly after the album came out, the label was bankrupt. Since AA was the only band really on it with real product, no one wanted to buy the label. Years in court ensued, and by the time they were free agents again, Nevermind had come out and no one wanted them - the momentum was gone. Their one shot at glory spent.
This entire album is incredible, a true journey. It’s been one of my favorites since it dropped. There was supposed to be a sequel to it but unfortunately I don’t see that happening any time soon.

Oh how I wish I was born just wee bit earlier ! My girl Nancy kills it ! Her acoustic work is what I aspire to accomplish one day ! She is a GODDESS !
Catharsis was a mixed bag, but there are some good songs on it. This is one of them. Amazing riffage.
Nancy had one of the very first handbuilt prototype PRS guitars, made for her specifically by Paul himself. If that's not cred, I don't know what is. Nancy rocks.
