AC/DC. Flick Of The Switch
There is just something different about the way this one turned out, tight, heavy and groovy. Flick Of The Switch, Nervous Shakedown and Bedlam In Belgium are great songs that I hope they will consider playing once they hit the road, hopefully not too far into the future.

ARK. Burn The Sun
Completely unique and musically challenging Progressive Metal with Jorn Lande giving it a harsh bite while adding some soft edges as well. A fantastic and fascinating piece of music. Highly recommended.

Enuff Z' Nuff. Seven
Comfortable catchy Melodic Rock covering a lot of ground lyrically, some tracks have trouble keeping the interest intact but overall a nice disc.

Eldritch. Blackenday
Deep, heavy and dark Power Metal. A decent album without too many highlights but once again featuring inspiring guitar playing.

Fates Warning. The Spectre Within
Got my hands of the remastered edition of this special and quite mystic sounding slice of the eighties, it's like something hides in both the music and lyrics...you get this feeling that there always will be new things to discover. The last three tracks are huge.

Freedom Call. Dimensions
The front cover is pretty bad; the back cover just makes you laugh...as goes for the narration, which is plain terrible, just listen to the intro.
Light Up The Sky is a cool energy booster and there are other decent tracks here but I'm still a bit disappointed, Mr. Evil is just headshakingly and irritatingly mad. Missing the days of Eternity and Crystal Empire.

Gotthard. Domino Effect
It's grown into a very solid disc but it hasn't really got the completely amazing songs.
The rougher touch running through the album is a refreshing effect though.

Green Day. Dookie
When summertime arrives I somehow feel an urge to pull this out, accessible and catchy.

Megadeth. United Abominations
This new line-up is a tight and fierce sounding unit; the crushing Sleepwalker is good proof. The album has a crispier and more interesting direction than the latest one, but I still miss the more melodic path and song writing that could really thrill.

Trisophere. Onwards
A refreshing Power Metal output with a steady and really vibrant rhythm section nicely accompanied by intense vocals.

Ty Tabor. Safety
Painful, sensitive, unique, warm, melodic, daring, captivating, purifying. A no less than astounding Rock effort that refuses to leave my stereo.

Van Halen. 1984
Straight to the point rock with a raw and in your face attitude. An uneven quality of tracks but overall a joyful and satisfying disc.

White Lion. Mane Attraction
The epic flair is a cool twist to some of these tracks, a solid piece of Melodic Rock.
