Mercury Falling was a success, reaching the top 10 in 18 countries, but failed to match the success of its predecessors. None of its four singles—"Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot", "You Still Touch Me", "I Was Brought to My Senses", and "I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying"—were hits across all regions, although the former two did perform well in the UK and especially Canada, where both reached the top 10. The album has been certified Platinum in three different countries (US, UK and Canada) and Gold in nine others. In 1997, the album earned Sting two Grammy nominations—Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot".

The Dream of the Blue Turtles (рус. Сон синих черепах) - дебютный сольный альбом британского рок-музыканта Стинга, был выпущен в США 1 июня 1985 года, через год после неофициального расформирования группы The Police. Хотя он был менее успешным, чем любой из альбомов The Police, ему удалось достичь третьего места в британском хит-параде.

Bring on the Night is a 1986 live album by Sting recorded over the course of several live shows in 1985 and released in 1986. The title is taken from a song by The Police from their 1979 album Reggatta de Blanc. The songs performed include Sting's early solo material from the studio album The Dream of the Blue Turtles, and from his time with The Police, with a few of the performances played as medleys of the two. The touring band features the prominent jazz musicians Branford Marsalis, Darryl Jones, Kenny Kirkland, and Omar Hakim.

…Nothing Like the Sun (рус. …Совсем не похоже на солнце) — второй студийный альбом британского рок-музыканта Стинга, был издан 13 октября 1987 года. Название для пластинки было навеяно строчкой из 130-го сонета Уильяма Шекспира («My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun» — «Глаза моей возлюбленной совсем не похожи на солнце»), которую Стинг также использовал в песне «Sister Moon». Кроме того, музыкант добавил, что на это название его вдохновила уличная встреча с пьяницей, которому Стинг процитировал сонет в ответ на его назойливый вопрос: «Насколько прекрасна луна?».
Альбом победил в номинации «Лучший британский альбом» на премии Brit Awards, в 1988 году.

The album is named after a dream that Sting had. He initially worked on tracks for his debut solo album with producers Torch Song: William Orbit, Laurie Mayer and Grant Gilbert. These sessions were more synth-driven and 'electrofunk' in nature than what eventually was recorded and released; Sting eventually decided against this direction, and instead decided to pursue more jazz-oriented music.

Started in 1984, it marked the return of Wetton to the group after his firing in September 1983. He had been replaced by Emerson, Lake & Palmer co-founder Greg Lake, temporarily, for the concerts at the Nippon Budokan in Tokyo in December 1983. The opening night of these shows, highly advertised as Asia in Asia, was the first in the history of MTV to be broadcast via satellite transmission. Following a two-month stint, Lake had left Asia and soon Wetton had been convinced to come back. The latter agreed, but made it a condition to his return that Howe depart the line-up. By the time sessions for Astra began, the group had recruited Meyer, a former guitarist of the Swiss hard rock band Krokus.

Вообще, "Maximalism" является логичным продолжителем предыдущего альбома, но не без изрядной дозы экспериментов. Следует отметить большой крен в сторону популярных американских исполнителей и откровенной электроники, хотя прежде звучание Amaranthe было по большей части классическим шведским и основывалось на простеньких синтезаторных сэмплах. Гитары и ударные нынче задвинуты на второй план, уступая место красочной нетипичной для группы электронике, что сделало музыку немного легче, и ещё более качёвой, чем прежде. По-прежнему присутствуют гитарные соло, а звук, как и всегда, записан на уровне, потому недостаток гитар не ощущается.

The Nexus is the second studio album by Swedish heavy metal band Amaranthe. The album was released on varying dates in March 2013, starting on the 13th in Japan and concluding on the 26th in the US. The Nexus is a development of the sound and ideas Amaranthe introduced on their first record. The band stated that they felt "the contrasts are greater, the mix and blends of genres is more controversial, and more creative freedoms were taken in this album." It was the last album with harsh vocalist Andy Solveström.

Японское SHM-CD издание третьего полнометражника группы по "джапан"-традиции дополнено двумя бонусами: аккустические версии песен "Trinity" и "True".
По поводу музыкального материала - продукт получился качественным, добротным, с большой долей коммерции. Но как в большинстве коммерческих проектах , на мой сугубо субъективный взгляд, альбому не хватает какой-то искорки, способной разжечь огонь в душе (как в первых двух альбомах), нет чего-то революционно нового, чем могли бы удивить музыканты. В целом ставлю твёрдую "четвёрку".

Amaranthe is the debut studio album by Swedish heavy metal band Amaranthe. The album was released April 11, 2011 and reached #35 and #16 on the Swedish and Finnish charts respectively.

Rock Believer será el próximo décimo noveno álbum de estudio de la banda alemana de hard rock y heavy metal Scorpions, cuyo lanzamiento está previsto para el 22 de febrero de 2022 en Europa y el 25 de febrero en América del Norte.​ Este será el primer álbum de estudio de la banda con el baterista Mikkey Dee, quien reemplazó a James Kottak en 2016, y su primer álbum de estudio en siete años desde Return to Forever (2015), lo que lo convierte en la brecha más larga entre álbumes de estudio.

The BAROCK PROJECT idea generates from a desire to deliver the finest and perfect structure of classical music (mainly baroque music) with a rock-style and a little bit of jazz harmony, supported by a pop framework with the intention to revamp the appeal of '70s progressive-rock.
The project founder, pianist and composer Luca Zabbini, states that his passion for the music of famous keyboardist Keith Emerson (ELP), has fuelled his desire to compose and play a full range of styles, from classical to rock and jazz.
In the summer of 2004, Giambattista "GB" Giorgi, a young bassist influenced by rock sounds with big passion for jazz, and drummer Giacomo Calabria joined the band.
After a long European tour with "Children of the Damned" and Iron Maiden's singer Paul Di'Anno, Luca Pancaldi joins the band as lead vocals in 2002.

Bare Trees è il sesto album del gruppo rock dei Fleetwood Mac, pubblicato nel 1972. È anche l'ultimo album del gruppo con il chitarrista Danny Kirwan, congedato durante il tour di promozione dell'album.
Sentimental Lady è stata registrata nuovamente successivamente da Bob Welch (insieme a Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie e Lindsey Buckingham) per il suo album solista French Kiss.
Spare Me a Little of Your Love divenne poi un cavallo di battaglia delle esibizioni live della band tra il 1972 e il 1977.

Trouble is the debut studio album from British hard rock band Whitesnake, led by former Deep Purple vocalist David Coverdale released in October 1978. It reached No. 50 on the UK Albums Chart. This followed the four-track Snakebite EP, later available in the US as an import album from continental Europe. It received a CD release on 8 April 1988 in the UK.

Despite the band's troubles during the recording, the album peaked at number nine on the UK Albums Chart and was certified silver, the only silver certification in a string of gold or platinum-certified albums by the BPI. The album included the single "Here I Go Again", released in October 1982, that charted at number 34, but did not chart any of the singles charts in the United States. Eventually, it would resurface in 1987, with a new version that would characterise Whitesnake, in the future.
