4.0 out of 5 stars Great Party Disc, June 1, 2001

"sghost1" (Fredericton, New Brunswick Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hard Rock: 80's Heavy Metal (Audio CD)

It takes a very special Various Artists package to earn five stars. This one doesn't fill all the requirements but it is still a very good compilation. Although this disc contains many classic heavy metal tracks, not all of them fit the genre. Take Great White's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy", for example. It's straightforward rock n' roll. But whatever this disc lacks in technicalities, it more than makes up for it in pure nostalgic value. As with many compilations, this disc serves minimal purpose in a music collection. With most of the artists, you are better off purchasing complete albums. There is one great use for this disc, though. If you're planning an 80s rock/metal themed party, this is the perfect cd to have in the disc changer.

4 and 1/2 stars.
