The reviews so far have mostly been inaccurate nonsense. Nuclear Blast have a tonne of bands with melodic vocals, what ARE you people talking about? Are you basing your entire opinion on some compilation they put together? Try Edguy, Gotthard (rock, not metal), Hammerfall, Rage, Avantasia, Blind Guardian, Sirenia, Thunderstone, Hardcore Superstar (rock, not metal), Tarot, Sinner, Threshold, Primal Fear (although they've left the label now), Candlemass, Communic, Mystic Prophecy (now on Massacre Records), Nightwish etc. All on Nuclear Blast, all melodic singers (better than most of the ones on this collection). Metal is a much wider genre than just "cookie monster vocals".
As for this collection I'd give it 4/5 as a free compilation (there's really no need for a second BLS track, they could just as easily put put a track by The Duke, Sebastian Bach, The Black Crowes, Overkill, Ted Nugent or Gary Moore on instead), but 0 if it cost anything as none of the tracks are exclusive and are all lifted from other albums, making it worthless. Free is the correct price for this.
For the original releases:
1. Black Label Society - The Blessed Hellride
2. Deep Purple - Rapture of The Deep
3. Stratovarius - Polaris
4. Alice Cooper - The Eyes of Alice Cooper
5. Dio - Holy Diver Live
6. Napalm Death - Punishment In Capitals
7. Twisted Sister - Still Hungry
8. Poison - 7 Days Live
9. Rainbow - Live In Munich 1977
10. Black Label Society - The Blessed Hellride

And that is all it is meant to be: a sampler from a record label. Many of the other reviewers here seem clueless about what this is and isn't supposed to be.
Spitfire Records was a label that started putting out a lot of stuff in 1999. They essentially focused on hard rock and heavy metal: Dio, Alice Cooper, Testament, Raven, Twisted Sister, Zakk Wylde's different projects, Overkill, etc. They were eventually rolled into Eagle Records. This sampler is a collection of 10 tracks taken from various albums on the label.
(By the way, there's no fine line that separates "hard rock" from "heavy metal". It's ultimately just a matter of fuzzy logic and marketing. If you're the kind of person who gets that hung up about which band falls in which sub-category, then congratulations: you're a myopic victim of mass-marketing!)
Now then...what kinds of tracks would a record label put on a FREE sampler? Well obviously it's not going to be the best of the best. It would be stupid to include singles, especially from the bands people already know as house-hold names, because that might discourage people from buying the respective single if not the whole album. At the same time, they want a good mix and decent representation of some of the albums they have to offer. So it makes sense that they picked tracks that were obscure but not TOO obscure.
You'll find tracks from Alice Cooper's "The Eyes of Alice Cooper"; Deep Purple's "Rapture of the Deep"; live albums from Dio, Rainbow, and Poison; Twisted Sister's "Still Hungry" (their re-recording of the famous "Stay Hungry" album; re-recorded because the band no longer has the rights to the original recording), TWO tracks from Black Label Society (which makes sense since Zakk Wylde has by far and large the most amount of albums on the label), and a track each from Stratovarius and Napalm Death tossed in for good measure.
Again, considering that this sampler is being offered for FREE, you can't expect to be given the top-of-the-line stuff. But there's still some great stuff on here. You sure can't expect Mtv to keep people up to date on these bands!

I'm having a hard time figuring out the logic behind this sampler. How do you pair Napalm Death with Poison? Deep Purple with Black Label Society? Stratovarius with Twisted Sister? And there are recent songs alongside decades-old hits. This doesn't seem to be that well thought out.
Still, I can hardly complain about free music. I already had most of this material, but there were a few surprises (I didn't realize how good the new Stratovarius was, for example). Most classic rock fans will already have most of this material, and most metal fans will have little use for all of the classic rock. But hey, it's free, so it's worth checking out on the off chance you discover something new.

EXCELLENT SAMPLER
Just as wonderful as their other sampler. I agree about BLS tho. Not much of a fan. One track is plenty. But this sampler has more than the usual 5 tracks so PLENTY to choose from. Read more

Not bad for a free album
I already have most of the songs on this album, but for those 2 or 3 that I DON'T have already, this free album is a good sampler for some bands that I'd like to invest some more... Read more

Who needs this?
I wouldn't even get this for free, I already have all of these songs from each artists individual albums. This is such a generic compilation. Read more

REALLY??
Is this serious??
Did Mighty Amazon look this over before they agreed to push this onto us?
Do they think just because it's free that all Americans will go hog wild over... Read more

Oh, look! Heavy Rock, not Heavy Metal
5 stars as a free collection. Maybe 4 if I had to pay for it.
