Break Every Rule is the sixth solo studio album by Tina Turner. It was released September 23, 1986 through Capitol Records. It was the follow-up to Turner's globally successful comeback album, Private Dancer, released two years earlier. Turner nearly scored her second Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit with the lead single "Typical Male," peaking at number two for three consecutive weeks in October 1986. "Two People" and "What You Get Is What You See" also became U.S. Top 30 hits. "Back Where You Started" earned Turner her third consecutive Grammy Award for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Female in 1987.

Close to the Bone is the sixth studio album by the British pop group Thompson Twins, released by Arista in March 1987. Now only the duo of Tom Bailey and Alannah Currie remaining, this was the first album the group made without Joe Leeway. It was produced by Bailey and Rupert Hine.
Ending their run of Top 5 albums in the UK, the album was a commercial failure, peaking at number 90 in the UK and failing to yield any hit singles. It fared a little better in the US, peaking at number 76 on the Billboard Top 200, with the single "Get That Love" reaching number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The Soul Cages is the third full-length studio album released by Sting and the first to feature longtime guitarist Dominic Miller. Released in January 1991, it became his second No. 1 album in the United Kingdom.
It spawned four singles: "All This Time", "Mad About You", "Why Should I Cry for You" and "The Soul Cages".[citation needed] The title track won Sting the first Grammy Award for Best Rock Song in 1992.

Удивительно то, что с первым (и единственным) альбомом Abstrakt Algebra (об этом великолепном творении - в другой раз) у "Dactylis Glomerata" не так уж много общего. Мы наблюдаем несколько облегченный по сравнению с ранними творениями Candlemass звук, более высокий темп песен, активное использование клавишных. Новый вокалист имеет более хрипловатый и немного гнусавый голос, но, в целом, он на этом релизе не вызывает отторжения. Гитара звучит совсем по-другому (благо на альбоме отметились аж три гитариста), ударные не вызывают особых эмоций. Стоит отметить, что с этого альбома у Лейфа Эдлинга, основного автора Candlemass, появилась привычка давать композициям странные и местами нелепые имена (она продолжится на альбоме его сайд-проекта Krux).

Ordinary Man (stylised as ØRD†NARY MAN) is the twelfth studio album by English heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne. It was released on 21 February 2020 through Epic Records. It was produced by Andrew Watt and Louis Bell. This is the longest gap between two albums from Osbourne to date, spanning almost ten years since Scream. The first single of the album, "Under the Graveyard", was released on 8 November 2019. The second single, "Straight to Hell", was released on 22 November 2019. The third single and title track featuring singer Elton John was released on 10 January 2020. The fourth single "It's a Raid" featuring Post Malone was released on 20 February 2020, a day before the release of the album.

Совершенно новый виток в творчестве этих бельгийцев. Если раньше их больше клонило к избыточной тяжести, помноженной на гипертрофированную игру ударника, то на этом лонгплее они достаточно убедительно показали и доказали, что у них в закромах есть и иные методы достижения наивысшего результата. Музыканты теперь берут слушателя не напором и кипящим саундом, а уже более техничной и временами даже мелодичной игрой, и при этом, немного снизив скорости и сильно сдав в долбилове, умудряются не растерять некий шарм, присущий группе. Мне кажется, отдельная заслуга в этом Свена, который всё также продолжает радовать сдвоенным вокалом (чистый теперь не на птичьих правах, а полноценно распределён по диску).

L'autre... is the third studio album by Mylène Farmer, released on 9 April 1991. It contains the singer's biggest hit, "Désenchantée", which was number-one in France for nine weeks, and other three top ten hits. The album was generally well received by the critics and was a great success in terms of chart and sales (#1 for twenty weeks), becoming the best-selling album throughout the singer's career and the twenty second best-selling album of all time in France.

А что же, собственно, такого в этом альбоме? Да ничего, как ни странно, особенного - просто зрелый металл. Да, да, именно это слово - зрелый, на альбоме чувствуется профессионализм и знание своего дела - это вам не какая-нибудь альтернатива для малолеток, это - металл, от которого даже стареющие дяденьки с пивными животами затрясут волосатыми головами.

Second Flight: Live at the Z7 is the second live album by American progressive rock supergroup Flying Colors. The band recorded it on October 12, 2014 at the Z7 Konzertfabrik in Pratteln, Switzerland. Mike Portnoy chose the location because both Flying Colors and other bands of his had recorded multiple shows at the 013 in Tilburg. It was a challenging show for the band to perform because this was only the eighth show on the tour. The album title was coined by Portnoy.

После успеха альбома Cendres de Lune и хитов «Sans contrefaçon» и «Ainsi soit je…» у Фармер не возникло проблем с выпуском второго альбома, который был хорошо принят публикой, что позволило ей укрепить растущую популярность, таким образом предотвращая её от провала и ухода со сцены. Альбом продумывали в течение пяти — шести месяцев. Он был записан в студии Mega, на проспекте маршала Монури, в Париже (XVI округ Парижа) под руководством Тьерри Рогена, известного звукорежиссёра, который уже работал с Фармер и сотрудничал с Мишелем Сарду.
На обложке Фармер изображена в три четверти, где она представлена вместе с куклой, использованной в видео на песню «Sans contrefaçon». Фотографии буклета были сделаны Эльзой Триллиат.
Альбом был выпущен в апреле 1988 года и был встречен с большим успехом, как со стороны критики так и по продажам.

Forever Changes is the third studio album by the American rock band Love, released by Elektra Records in November 1967. It was the final album recorded by the original band lineup; after its completion, Bryan Maclean left the group acrimoniously and the other members were dismissed by leader Arthur Lee. The album saw the group embrace a subtler, folk-oriented sound and orchestration, while primary songwriter Lee explored darker themes alluding to mortality and his creeping disillusionment with the 1960s counterculture.

Select is the second studio album by Kim Wilde, released on 10 May 1982 via RAK label.
The first single from this album, "Cambodia", was released in November 1981 and signalled a different sound from the Wilde camp, with an electronic and synth sound different from the rock sound of her last album. The songs were again written by Marty and Ricky Wilde and produced by Ricky Wilde. The lyrics of the songs were similar to the first album: the second single "View from a Bridge" and the album track "Wendy Sadd" seemed to be about suicide, "Chaos at the Airport" described a nightmare about flying and "Ego" was quite the opposite of a love song. "Can You Come Over" was recorded at the Wilde's home. The cover image was a photograph from Gered Mankowitz.

Here Come the Aliens è il quattordicesimo album in studio di Kim Wilde, pubblicato nel marzo 2018 a cinque anni di distanza dal precedente Wilde Winter Songbook. In Gran Bretagna è stato il primo album negli ultimi venticinque anni ad entrare in classifica, raggiungendo la ventunesima posizione. Un'edizione deluxe del disco viene pubblicata ad ottobre 2018.

Civilized Man is the ninth studio album by the British artist Joe Cocker, released in May 1984, his first on Capitol label. It includes a cover of the 1981 Squeeze hit "Tempted", as well as "There Goes My Baby", a 1959 hit single from The Drifters.
Songs for the album were recorded at two different sessions. Side "A", recorded at Village Recorders in Los Angeles, was produced by Gary Katz and features as a backing band the core of the then current group Toto (Steve Lukather, Jeff Porcaro, and David Paich), whereas side "B", recorded in Nashville, was produced by Stewart Levine, and features Music City stalwarts (David Briggs, Reggie Young and Larrie Londin). The album also features an appearance by Joe Cocker's former bandmate Jim Keltner (on "Long Drag Off a Cigarette").
