С первых же тактов возникает чувство отчуждения – это больше не тот злой и технично-раздолбайский Whiplash, который мог бросить вызов зажравшимся Metallica, выступая на улице прямо за дверями крутого концертного холла... Это что-то другое. Это скорее скромная попытка тягаться с Megadeth периода 92/97 годов. Это чувствуется почти что в каждой песне: эта мелодика, знакомая по “Countdown To Extinction”, красивые и техничные соло, ядовитые риффы... Зачем? Ведь были Whiplash, не смотря на название ассоциирующееся всё с той же Metallica, очень даже оригинальной бандой! Не удивительно, ведь поменялось полсостава. Так что, если не ждать пронзительных вещичек вроде “Hiroshima” альбома 1990 года, то и прокатит. Ибо укорить Whiplash в некачественности материала невозможно – он всё же очень стильный, плюс “Word To The Wide” и “Knock Me Down” – трэки, полные горячего тягучего металла с вокалом в духе Alice In Chains... В наличии имеется «никакая» «баллада» “Strangeface”, да нежная инструменталка “Catharsis”. Интересно по-настоящему становится на тяжеловесной “Sit Stand Kneel Pray” с оркестровыми вставками, вот так бы сначала! Да эх, альбом уж кончается...

Unbreakable – The Greatest Hits Volume 1 is the first greatest hits album by Irish boy band Westlife. The album was released on 11 November 2002. It was also the band's fourth album to be released as a five-piece and with RCA Records and Sony BMG. The album consists of all of the group's past singles, along with six new songs. Hit single "Flying Without Wings" was re-recorded as a duet with South Korean singer BoA and Mexican singer Cristian Castro, and each respective duet was included on the Asian and Spanish editions of the album respectively.

The second single, the double A-side "Tonight" / "Miss You Nights" peaked at number three in the UK and at number one in the Republic of Ireland.

Timeless is the sixth studio album by Scottish pop rock quartet Wet Wet Wet, and the last to feature Marti Pellow on lead vocals. Released on 12 November 2007, the album was the band's first studio release in ten years, having not release a full studio recording since 10 in 1997. The album spawned only two singles; "Too Many People", which was released a week before the album on 5 November, and "Weightless", which followed on 4 February 2008.

Mysterious Traveller is the fourth studio album by the jazz ensemble Weather Report and was released in 1974. This was their final recording with founding bassist Miroslav Vitouš, who left due to creative differences. Vitouš was replaced by Alphonso Johnson. Another addition to the line-up is drummer Ishmael Wilburn. Greg Errico was the drummer for the tour between the previously released Sweetnighter and this album, but declined an invitation to be a permanent member of the band.
The record is the band's first that predominantly uses electric bass and incorporates liberal uses of funk, R&B grooves, and rock that would later be hallmarked as the band's "signature" sound. Also, the more restricted compositional format became evident on this album, replacing the more "open improvisation" formats used on the first three albums. It was voted as the album of the year by the readers of Down Beat for 1974, garnering Weather Report's second overall win in that category, also garnering a five-star review from that publication along the way. The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings included the album in its suggested “core collection” of essential recordings.

I freely admit that Worriers was one of those bands I should have known much more about prior to attending the Fest last year. Missing out on their appearance in Gainesville is quickly becoming my biggest regret. Luckily, it looks like I’ll be able to rectify that in short order as they are embarking on a tour with Brian Fallon in support of this, their latest album, You or Someone You Know.

In 1988, at the pinnacle of the “Hollywood Hair Metal” craze, WILDSIDE, then called YOUNG GUNNS, was formed by guitarist Benny Rhynedance and singer Drew Hannah. Both were 1986 hair metal transplants from the pre-grunge Seattle music scene, which in 1986, did not exist yet.
By 1988 in Los Angeles, after slugging it out for two years in the LA club scene as glam rockers Rogue and enduring the Hollywood “Pay to Play” club promoter rip-off, Benny and Drew disbanded their original Seattle band. They then formed THE BOYZ, which became YOUNG GUNNS, and recruited second guitarist Brent Woods from the Sunset Strip band ALRISHA, and bassist Marc Simon from local heroes ST. VALENTINE. The lineup was soon completed with the addition of drummer Johnny Dean, but he soon left the band.
The guys searched for a permanent drummer and dominated the Sunset Strip and the Whisky-A-Go-Go on the weekly Monday night “No Bozo Jam” shows. After a year and a half of “false starts and flakes,” they found ex-NRG and KANE ROBERTS drummer Jimmy D. from San Bernardino, CA to finally complete the classic lineup.
This is when the hard work truly began. With a solid lineup, the band began an all-out assault on Hollywood. Sold out shows followed at the Roxy, Whisky, Troubadour, Gazzarri’s, and X-Poseur 54. Front page covers on all of the LA rock press magazines arose, and record labels began to take notice.
Diligently writing and rehearsing in their shared Hollywood gigs, the boys played endlessly throughout 1988-1989. When they weren’t ripping through impassioned sets, they were putting up flyers on every telephone pole in town. Their self-determination turned self-promotion into an art form and soon the band’s name was on everyone’s lips.
However, the band needed to eventually change their name. Originally known as YOUNG GUNNS between ’88 to ‘90, the producers of a western film using a similar title (released incidentally after the band was already well on its way) from Lionsgate Studios and Artisan Entertainment issued a series of cease and desist warnings and wanted $350,000 for the rights to the name.
After another late night Sunset Strip gig, while the guys were afterwards at the Rainbow bar, the name WILDSIDE was thrown around and seemed to fit their lifestyle perfectly, while being inspired by the Lou Reed song of the same name.
With their new name, a new phase of the band history was about to begin. But, that’s another story…

Auf dem mit Pete Wingfield gemeinsam produzierten Album mischte Westernhagen deutschen Rhythm and Blues mit gelegentlichen Einflüssen der Rolling Stones (Tanz mit dem Teufel). Einige Funk-Zitate, zum Beispiel in Hey Honey ergänzen die Songs.[2] Das Album erreichte Platz 1 der deutschen Charts. Vor allem die Singleauskopplung Es geht mir gut wurde zum Erfolg im deutschsprachigen Raum. Auch die zugehörige Tournee Affentour, auf der die DVD Keine:Zeit – Affentour 1995 aufgenommen wurde, war sehr erfolgreich.

Love, Whitney is a compilation album by Whitney Houston, released in 2001. It was the follow-up to Houston's multi-platinum greatest hits collection Whitney: The Greatest Hits (2000). Love, Whitney is a collection of ballads that have become her trademark over the years and includes a collection of nine top 20 hits. As AllMusic reviewer Jose F. Promis noted, it "isn't meant to be a greatest-hits collection" but "it's an assortment of big, swooping Whitney Houston love songs" and that it "is solely intended for the most casual of fans". In the United Kingdom, the album has sold 46,264 copies.
