Schizoid Man, you’re really nice... no, but seriously, you’re very, very nice... this charm of yours is overwhelming and irresistible... however, if you could kindly go share your charm on another review now, thanks... or maybe even better, on the street, with people, come on... you’ll see that you won’t have any difficulty finding plenty of new friends with your charm :-)

Thank you GEB :) yes, I know they’re absolutely nothing new and don’t propose anything original, but I like them, what can I do? :D Anyway, for the recommended names, I will look for and listen to something, I’ll note the names. Generally speaking, it’s very hard for me not to like groups that propose this kind of music, whether they are recent or “old guards,” with rare exceptions... As for Ratt, I confirm what I said: the more I listen to it, the more I think “Infestation” is a really great album :-)

Thank you all for stopping by :) Indeed, a 5 is a bit high, considering that I still prefer the previous album, albeit just slightly.
@Core: thanks for your comment, let me tell you: from the recent Scandinavian scene, I only know Hardcore Superstar and Crashdiet, and yet I prefer these CL... then I don't really know any other names from the hard rock/sleaze/glam scene, except for Steel Panther (but I don't take them seriously, even though I enjoy listening to them now and then) and Dirty Penny (a band I listened to briefly and it didn't really resonate with me, I don't even think they're Scandinavian...); I imagine the third name you mention is Reckless Love, which I will try to look up. Oh, by the way, I take this opportunity to thank you, I haven't commented much, but with your reviews you've helped me discover bands I was interested in exploring further or others whose existence I wasn't even aware of, so thank you! :-)

I know the Gn'R albums by heart, but I've never heard anything from Izzy as a solo artist... I'll try to start with this one, is it a good choice?

Beautiful, as usual: lately DeB is becoming a hotbed of quite interesting hard rock reviews :) Anyway, I only know a couple of songs by Talisman, plus the cover of "Frozen" by Madonna, which wasn't bad at all! (the cover of this album is awful, I hope the music is better... xD I'll listen to it anyway)

Beautiful, beautiful, although I have to say that on first listen it didn't convince me much, except for a couple of songs... then with subsequent listens it grew on me :) Nelson was really a nice surprise, Gilbert a confirmation, as if that were still needed (even if in some solos it seems to me that he's having a bit too much fun being Petrucci, and that's not nice...)

Good album, it may not be Heaven & Hell, but it's very pleasing to listen to. Dio's last work, unfortunately... but I think he ended on a high note: if only we had more men like him, great singer but also a great person, R.I.P. :-(

I don't know... I listened to it but it didn't really say much to me; of course, I can't expect a new "Symbol...". It didn't really stick with me, maybe I should give it another listen...

So you were serious when you said "after Harem Scarem, onto the discography of Pink Cream 69" :D
Good, good, keep it up! It's not a problem for me at all to read reviews of a band's complete works, on the contrary, since these are bands I'm not very familiar with, I'm all for it :) if after these you don't know what to review, may I make a request: Pretty Maids?

Great review and, for me, a really nice album :-)
