The Corroseum forum (new design under construction)

Even more Italian Steel recently reviewed. Not as remarkable as AES or TEGEN HART imho, but it's decent trad. HM that I'm sure someone out there would enjoy (SWORDS review / ROD SACRED review)

...and downloads by way of pic-clicking: I don't think the RS rip is mine and the source in long forgotten. Creds to whomever feels guilty..

Who's this Rod fella?

Thanks!

A belated thank you for the Swords upload.
I've only just got round to giving it a proper listen over this last week, and i enjoyed it more than i thought i might from reading your review. Not that you weren't entirely accurate in dissecting the records pros & cons, i think i was just generally a bit more forgiving of some of the cheesier elements, although 'Scorpion Woman' did sorely test my patience.
I found 'Lady's Waiting For Me' a bit of an odd inclusion, but after a few plays i think there's actually a half-decent Thin Lizzy-esque power ballad lurking beneath the weak vocal & thin production.
(My notion of a vague Lizzy influence is, i think, somewhat bourne out by the Lynott-copping 'Baby-Baby-Buh-Buh-Buh-Baybee' vocal line on their contibution to your latest 'Veterans Of The Various Wars' comp).
A deficit between their ambition & execution for sure, but overall an interesting listen nonetheless.
