The Miracle by Queen. I liked it years ago, soon after it came out, but not so much nowadays.

What was the last album you listened to? What are your thoughts on it? Please, where is everyone? This board is more slow than a 1970s British wrecking ball (and that's veeeeeeery slow). Come on everyone! Get the party started! (note: I am Thor-Delta on IMDb) The Cars-Shake it up

The Cannibal Ferox soundtrack by Budy-Maglione.
A *lot* of tracks here, including many alternate takes, but they're all very short, so the album clocks in at about 51 minutes.
My favorite has to be "Jungle Theme".

"Love at First Sting" by Scorpions. Very enjoyable rock album, with "I'm Leaving You" and "The Same Thrill" rating as stand out tracks for me.

I am bumping this thread as I was thinking of staring up one, but this one already existed and while not been used for a long while now, I thought it was ok to continue posting here either than starting another one. Artist: The Pretenders Album: Pretenders II Genre: New Wave and Pop Rock Year: 1981 Standout tracks: The Adultress, I Go To Sleep and The English RosesThe last week or so I have been re-visiting The Pretenders first album (1980) along with picking up on their follow up Pretenders II (1981), and while I had a bit of "trouble" getting into their first one, it did however grew on me with a few listens, but still not enough to make me rate it as high as what many fans and critics seems to do, claiming it to be a "perfect" masterpiece full raving 5 stars and 10 out 10 reviews. I think of it as a very good debut album in most parts but one that (for me that is) also is a bit too uneven in places, specially when it comes to including a couple of "fillers". While not a bad track to be heard but still stuff like Private Life, Mystery Achievement and Precious do very little for me, no matter how much I tried to enjoy them and they drag down the album from what could have been a solid 8/10 to a still very good 7/10. On their follow up Pretenders II I kept hearing/reading on how it was often seen as a far "superior" release to the debut, and I really tried and hoped that it would turn out like that, sadly after 4-5 listens I am just not hearing what is so fantastic about that one. Sure, it do contain some truly great ones, but sadly also a bit too many fillers and worse, even some truly awful stuff and my "big" complaint about their debut a year earlier was that it came with maybe 2-3 numbers too many, and this time that is sadly far too obvious and there is too much space between the great numbers and the not even close to being good ones, and if not for 2-3 really great songs, I would have eneded up rating it with a very disappointing 4/10. If only tunes like The Adultress had switched places with Precious and The English Roses done so also with Mystery Achievement and just ignored or got rid of the overlong Private Life, their debut would have easily gotten stood out as one of the best debut album I have heard, sadly they did maybe release the second one a bit too soon and it lacks a bit of the energy and edge of the first one, however it do come with a somewhat more "mature" or more emotional sound and beside the fantastic opener, it is those tender songs which for me stands out the best. Again, I went in, hoped for the best but I cannot and will never be able to "force" myself to love or enjoy something which I do not but I will keep the album in my collection only because of some of its strongest cuts, and maybe have visit it again after catching up on their follow up album. 5/10

Artist: Ultravox! Album: Ultravox! Genre: Post-punk, Rock and Synth-pop Year: 1977 Standout tracks: Sat'day Night in the City of the Dead, Slip Away, I Want To Be A Machine and My SexI was only familiar with the Midge Urge, 80s Ultravox line-up, through the albums of Vienna (1980) and when one day browsing through the music store which used to lie right across the subway station I often used so very much back in the late 90s and early 00s, this album by Ultravox appared out of the blue and while not really bother to read up on or looking at the album cover, it was one of many impulse purchases I did those days and one which turned out to be quite the surprise when putting it on later when arriving home. Was this really the same band who did Dancing With Tears In My Eyes? I was very impressed and enjoyed of what I had just heard back then. Now this was something very different than to what I maybe had "expected" and it soon became a favorite record of mine, and I decided to pick up their next two releases which were fronted by the John Foxx line-up. I gotta be honest, I somehow just did not catch upon their second album in the same way as their debut and later on what became my favorite Ultravox! release uptil that point, the more stylished and synth-driven third album Systems of Romance (1978). Anyway, back to the first one, Ultravox! included some truly spectacular and energy filled gems such as the hard hitting album opener Sat'day Night in the City of the Dead or tracks such as Slip Away and my personal favorite of theirs, the stunning I Want To Be A Machine. I had a long "break" where I did not pick up on their first three albums for a long while, but when they were re-released as part of the Island Years back in 2016, I decided to dip in on the dirt cheap release of their first album trilogy along with newly added bonus features. It was to be a very successful return and where I finally got very well along with the second album which I will come back to later, but also nice to hear again the two other releases as well. Their debut is still a good one, maybe not as great as I remembered it to be, as I now got to be reminded of its not so great numbers, and which is the three "fillers" that is the "trilogy" of Wide Boys, Dangerous Rhythm and The Lonely Hunter. While not awful or bad, they do lack the catchy or energy filled sound that the other ones have and instead I remember why I held their debut so high, as I often skipped these three cuts, as they did very little for me. And sadly they still lack that little bit extra to make it work, and drag the albums pace down several points. Thankfully the album do pick up again, and in a grand way with The Wild, The Beautiful and the Damned and the album finisher My Sex which would in some way give a little hint to where the band would soon turn most of their attention, well not quite yet but still a very important number and one of three classic album closers from their first three albums. Musically this debut album is almost in some parts like hearing a tribute/best of album full of variety and from prog rock, punk, glam, reggae, kraut rock and some obvious influences from their musical heroes and all in all I think this record stands as a fine starting point and where some of the best songs I think of as truly classic early Ultravox! full of energy and where a young and highly determed group of talented musicians were more than willing to prove themselves worthy, but I guess the lack of an hit single sadly would not long after be one of the main reasons to why this great and shortlived version of Ultravox ceased to exist only a few years after. However, their impact on what to come is not to be underestimated as their legacy would become an important part to what many new and young musicians at the time was searching for, and where several upcoming british artists such as Gary Numan had seen what John Foxx and Ultravox! were trying to do and would later on back it up with that important thing which sadly Ultravox missed out on, a big hit single. 6,5/10
