One of the most glorious launches in history, the title track for the thrice-platinum The Final Countdown is so bombastically brilliant, such glorious garbage, that this nuclear hair assault could only spew from the vacuous '80s. But the full-tilt follow-up 'Rock the Night' rules also: 'You know it ain't easy/Running out of thrills.'

It's been a great surprise to see on Audiophile Platinum SHM-CD & SHM-SACD titles and artists never released before by any Audiophile label (Audio Fidelity, MFSL, Analogue Productions, etc), like U.K, CAMEL, CARAVAN, etc, etc So, let's drop your 10 albums that you'd love to see released by them. A few rules to make the list more interesting and fun (avoiding the same artists and lists recycled all over) 1- Albums that have not been released by AF, MFSL or similar in the past 2- Albums that are not in the Rolling Stone so called '500 greatest albums' (2012 list) 3- Put a brief story behind why you are pickin' those albums 4- DO NOT START arguments like 'your list is crap and mine is great' 5- Have fun and enjoy PS: Here's the RS list. Ok, I'll start No particular order - Ashra: New Age On Earth (1976). When I was around 15 I used to spend time at my father's.
One weekend we went to buy some used records and CDs. He came across with this wonderful album. Windows 8 pre activated iso 32 bit free download. I've loved ever since - Flairck: En Vivo (1995).
This is an obvious choice to me. I think it was the first European band to release an official live album from my country. Sadly it's been out of print for ages. Wonderful recording.
Bon Jovi: New Jersey (1988). Haters gona hate. This album changed my life. I still remember that cassette. Loved ever since - Europe: The Final Countdown (1986). This, along with Bon Jovi's, was given by my dad on cassette when I was 9.
Never been too happy with the CDs. The closest to 'audiophile' is the first japan pressing, but I know it could sound better. FM: Black Noise (1977).
One of my favourite prog albums. Yet is virtually unknown even by prog fans. GREAT Canadian prog. Great times reading some sci-fi books while listening to it - Jean Luc Ponty: Fables (1985). I know, I know. It should be 'Enigmatic Ocean', 'Cosmic Messenger' or other 70s gem.
But the very first Ponty album I listened to, was 'Fables' on cassette. Discovered around the same time as Ashra. Why oh why Ponty has NEVER been taken into account for audiophile releases? - Camel: Mirage (1974). The essential Camel Trilogy is NOT complete without Mirage. We have 'Snow Goose' and 'Moonmadness' on 2014 SHM.
When are we going to be offered Mirage? - Kitaro: Ki (1981). His most famous works are Silk Road, Light Of Spirit and others. But 'Ki' is my fav.
Wonderful gem that deserves an audiophile edition - White Lion: Pride (1987): One of the greatest albums of the genre, but it's never sounded good on CD. Skid Row: Skid Row (1989). Same as White Lion. An amazing album, that sadly suffers from poor sound on CD. Ok, I'll start No particular order - Ashra: New Age On Earth (1976).

AC/DC - Powerage - OK, AC/DC getting released on any vanity label is never going to happen so this would be the closest thing to getting a better sounding version. It's my favorite AC/DC album so, that's why. Aerosmith - Done With Mirrors - I like it a whole lot better than 'Permanent Vacation' because it sounded like they were hungry again.
The sound is kind of sludgy on the original so it could use a nice facelift. Anthrax - Spreading The Disease - It's a very brittle sounding album that could use some love. King's X - Out Of The Silent Planet, Gretchen Goes To Nebraska - Originals aren't bad but would love for these two to get the audiophile treatment. Megadeth - Peace Sells.But Who's Buying - I know the original premise was for a band that has NEVER had a title done by any of the vanities but I don't consider the work that MFSL did on the remastered version of 'Countdown To Extinction' to be worth remembering (or for Megadeth to be punished for it). It's a thrash metal classic that could use some help bringing down the top end on the guitars. Motorhead - Ace Of Spades - Because it's Motorhead.
Trouble - Psalm 9 - All of the early Metal Blade albums sound like they were recorded in a shoe box so it would be nice to see (hear) if anything could be done with it. Ozzy - Ultimate Sin & Tribute - Ultimate Sin needs to have the 80's glam sheen taken off of it and give it the proper sound it deserves. I love the 'Tribute' album. I wore out 3 copies of the cassette when it came out.
In the context of popular music, a ballad is usually a slow song dealing with either romance or an emotional occasion. The Merriam-Webster dictionary offers a broader interpretation, defining it as 'a narrative composition in rhythmic verse suitable for singing' - in other words, a song.
Must have been compiled with the latter in mind - why else would the box set open with 's 'Eye of the Tiger'? The confusion is a constant theme throughout the set's eight discs; while it boasts plenty of sentimental moments, the mood is frequently broken with the appearance of more rousing numbers and, occasionally, some downright bizarre inclusions. '(Don't Fear) The Reaper,' 'All the Young Dudes,' 'More Than a Feeling,' 'The Final Countdown,' and 'In a Big Country' are all fun songs, but their inclusion in a collection of ballads is dubious at best. There's also the issue of repetitiveness - several artists are featured several times, sometimes on the same disc. What's frustrating is that it's not a bad collection of songs; they're all the original versions performed by the original artists, and the track listing is well done. Still, it's a letdown to expect one thing and get quite another, as is the case with. Time Life would have done better to declare this set The Best of Stadium Rock - or settle on a definition of 'ballad' that doesn't equate to 'anything with a beat and a tune.'
