Queen Sheer Heart Attack
Voto:
Great album, although on the second side there are a few fillers. Awful She Makes Me, Brilliant Brighton Rock, Explosive Stone Cold Crazy. To the comment above, I would say it seems a bit exaggerated to label Queen as Heavy Metal; Hard Rock, yes, they definitely did a lot of that, but metal, no. Although Stone Cold Crazy can actually be seen as an early example of metal, it's still just an episode. They were nonetheless an eclectic and versatile band.

Led Zeppelin O.S.T. - The song remains the same
Voto:
They are still Led Zeppelin, and I like them, but honestly, I can't give this album more than three stars. I remember the first time I listened to it; there was no internet, no reviews to check, and I absolutely had no money to buy any rock music texts. I wanted a live album from the Zeppelin, thinking that one of their concerts must have been amazing. The store didn't have a damn thing, and they told me there was one, but I had to order it. Doubtful, I came back a few days later and placed the order. When it arrived, I was happy, but just reading the track titles left me a little disappointed—two CDs and only 9 songs? Well, I told myself, they must be played awesomely! But instead, wow, for a while I even doubted whether they were really Led Zeppelin! I was really bummed out; I convinced myself it was good just to overcome the trauma of having spent a fortune (which was a fortune for me back then) on something I didn’t like. Then over time, I forgot all about it and even forgot this album, which I now listen to very rarely, especially since How The West Was Won came out.

Led Zeppelin The Song Remains The Same (Remixed & Expanded)
Voto:
Booh, I only know the old version, but I have to say I have my doubts that this one is worse. I mean, the old one wasn't great to begin with, so worsening it would have been quite an achievement! Plus, many complained that one of the drawbacks of this live performance was a rather meager setlist; now that it has been expanded, it should be better. I don't know, the review doesn't really convince me, especially when it says the performances are brilliant and energetic and the Zeppelin are in great shape, well... it doesn't seem to me that they were in great shape those nights at Madison Square Garden. As for the cuts, the editing, the mixing, etc., I can't say anything since I don't know this edition, so it could be that they're terrible, I don't know. It's just that this idea that they managed to worsen an album that was already not very successful doesn't convince me. Maybe you just need to get your ears used to the changes a bit?

Great review. For me, this is the best U2 album, the only one I listen to with some regularity; it's a great live album, although a bit short. However, the intensity of the performance is truly remarkable, with Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Year's Day standing out above all.
Jimi Hendrix Band Of Gypsys
Voto:
An atypical live performance, made entirely of new pieces. It's undeniably well played; after all, it was Hendrix, not some amateur! The sound is excellent, but the downside is the complete absence of the classics from previous albums. That's why I don't quite agree with the review in the opening sentences. Undoubtedly, the fact that this is the only live album released while Hendrix was alive makes it historically significant in its own way, but it must be admitted that it is not very representative. Furthermore, many posthumous releases are noteworthy; I wouldn't dismiss all of them. After all, no one knows what Jimi would have released and what he wouldn't if he had lived. There are many posthumous albums; some are indeed mindless compilations without any logical thread, but other products are much more interesting. For example, Live at Monterey stands out. One must know how to navigate through them. It should also be mentioned that even if Hendrix had not died, like many musicians, due to contractual reasons, he could have witnessed the release of various material without needing his approval and without being able to do much about it. This is a historical live album, but to expect it to be considered the only one deserving attention seems wrong to me, regardless of where the other albums are sold. P.S. I also want a butcher who sells Hendrix records!
