Metal Reviews

A stellar work of the classic sound of hard pop and the blues with rock solid musicianship.

Just finished above and started:


A lavish work of blues, straight-ahead jazz with breath-taking musicianship, at work, which can be listened to many times over, without the slightest fatigue, and without any loss of interest. Likewise, a truly remarkable work, filled with joyous orientation, and an even-handed tone.

The golden age for jazz, and an era filled with genuine sentiment, and hard-earned truths, which made the kind of music witnessed in a never-to-be-repeated epoch, manifested on this one of a kind recording.

Extraordinary in scope and skillfulness.

A definitive progressive album in an age where creativity came natural to many musicians, where the musician's vitality for musical output were ripen with a youthful maturity, and very common, I may add, and indeed was never hindered by the ailments of globalization, the malaises of technology, and an utterly universalized dissention of man, into what cannot be named other than a complete reverting back into a very troubling primal and animalistic tribalism. We have never been more distant from our inner most selves, today, than ever before. What to do now?

Has been a very long time, since I have heard this last. A much beloved album, and a much beloved band.

I shall never grow tired of the rare genius of this band which was never to be duplicated by any species known to mankind, and a band, that is as rare as a black swan, and is as creative as the generating heavens, above.

It is, as if, the glorious days of rock's golden-era, now rest in oblivion. But are they immortalized in any significant way? All of history seems as one blooming confusion.

An unforgettable early work.

Much prefer this debut than their II.

First time hearing this. I know it's going to be great.

I believe I have spoken very highly of this band many times before. But I am not one who speaks in a few words. This work speaks directly, and most impressively, in respect to a heightened sense of alertness, with such creative might, that it is, in this period, in which, they are creators, and sapiens. The music found on this recording is wonderfully weaved together, and it is so brilliantly coherent although, on a theoretical bases, none of the compositions should be cohering, at all. But it does, and it does so, with such fabulousness, and in such an exceptional fashion.

A period of exceptional creativity for Led Zeppelin, and a great sense of rare zeal for life, reflected in the passion found in their music.

A wonderful collection of some of Mr. Fuller's early recordings.

Absolutely outstanding.

Well, I'll say it is my first time hearing this, and it is as free as jazz can possibly be. I like it.

Archie Schepp - The Way Ahead

Extraordinary and radical for its time, and even today.

A personal favourite from the early periods of this group of stunning musicians.

In all serious, but also in all frankness, I think this is some of the best music which I have ever heard. I don't think I am personally exaggerating, at all. Ideas are distinct and clear.
