The Grinding Wheel [CD+DVD/Limited Edition] [Japan Bonus Track]OVERKILLA Solid Effort from the Wrecking Crew
Blitz, DD and the rest of the Wrecking Crew are still wrecking your neck in 2017, and this is a fine addition to their discography. Both the trash and the breakdowns you love are here. Standouts include "Mean, Green ..." and "Red, White & Blue." Plus, the Main and Lizzy covers on this album are excellent.

SURGICAL STEEL Complete Edition [Japan Bonus Track]CARCASSPerfect Bridge Between Necro & Heartwork
Steel is basically the unofficial bridge between Carcass' Necroticism and Heartwork - a more perfect blend of grindcore and melodic death. Wilding does Owen proud with extremely tight drumming, and the songwriting here is top notch. While I still prefer both albums to Steel (especially Heartwork, which is a masterpiece), this gets spins daily still.

Knocked Out Loaded [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [Limited Edition] [Blu-spec CD2]Bob DylanBetter Than the Critics Say
This album is roundly condemned by critics as being lightweight and directionless and one of Dylan’s worst.I could not disagree more. The arrangements are good and the songs catchy and well produced. Lots of backing singers on most tracks give the album a polished gospel flavour. Includes the classic Brownsville Girl but the other songs are also some of Dylan’s better 80s efforts. One of those times you simply ignore the critics.

The great album by veterans of the Italian metal scene. After the break, the vocals of Fabio Leone returned to the band, which added sound depth to the album. The material is strong, homogeneous and powerful. One of the band's best albums.

Blow By Blow - SA-CD Multi Hybrid Edition - [Cardboard Sleeve (mini LP)] [Limited Edition]Jeff BeckMy New Favorite Version
I have the vintage vinyl and the Sony SACD layer only stereo version. This new Multi-Channel SA-CD version is my new favorite. The mixing is excellent. Balance of audio is right on for full room sound. My ears cannot tell a difference between the stereo layer of both SACD, but the Multi-Channel layer of the new release is magic!
