rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the_motleykid - I always associate W.A.S.P’s debut album with my year 12 maths class. Despite this obvious handicap, I love the album anyway. Maths was my worst subject by far, and I needed no incentive to lose my temper about having to go to any class, let...

Sat, 3 Jun 2006 10:53:22 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the_motleykid - Too often, people label Sign O’ The Times as the brightest moment of Prince’s career. Are they wrong? Well, that comes down to personal opinion, but really, it is hard to put any album against it, and have that album stand up against The...

Thu, 6 Apr 2006 12:16:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the_motleykid - No matter how much I get into a band, I always stand by Motley Crue as my favourite group of all time.

Wed, 29 Mar 2006 09:38:25 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the_motleykid - As far as the Final Fantasy series goes, the fans are divided. Some love VII & IX, while they can’t stand VIII. Me?

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author the_motleykid - First, I want to get this out of the way. I bought this album because I wanted to, not because I thought a friend might like it for a present, or some other alternate reason that most people who own this album make up. That’s right, I enjoyed this...

Thu, 2 Mar 2006 00:24:14 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the_motleykid - It’s a shame most rock fans passed White Lion off as just another poppy hair band. Yes, their melodies were sweet as sugar, but if you took the time to delve just a little deeper into their music, you would discover one of the most underrated...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author the_motleykid - Definitely one of the bands most people cringe at when remembering the 1980s, Cinderella (not to be confused with that young lass who lost her glass slipper).
