Album title tracks can be a hit or miss. Sometimes, the title track could be the best song on the album. The title track could also be the worst song on the album.

Iron Maiden is considered one of the greatest heavy metal bands of all time. As part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, they shook everyone’s core with their self-titled debut album in 1980. While that album and the following release had some decent tracks, it was the band’s third album The Number of... Continue Reading →
It’s time for another edition of the Songs with the Same Title series and I am pumped! The last artist I covered was Black Sabbath, so if you haven’t already, check out that post right here. For now, we are moving onto our next victim, Deep Purple, a very popular English rock band that formed... Continue Reading →
This concert review has been long overdue, so I apologize for the delay people! My Disney College Program was coming to an end, so I thought, “why not go out with a bang by seeing Blue Öyster Cult live in concert?” So, that’s exactly what I did! The concert took place on Tuesday, January 10,... Continue Reading →

Judas Priest’s Painkiller (1990) album is the first to feature drummer Scott Travis, who replaced Dave Holland in 1989. It is also vocalist Rob Halford’s last album with the band until Angel of Retribution (2005). I never realized how common it was for band members to leave and return to the band years later. It...

To be honest, I only bought Stained Class (1978) because of the controversy surrounding this album, specifically for the band’s cover of “Better by You, Better Than Me” by Spooky Tooth. In 1990, 12 years after the album’s release, Judas Priest was sued by the parents of a teenager, James Vance, who entered a suicide... Continue Reading →
