Sounds like me does that. I recall it sounded pretty generic.

It came out the same time as the Saxon album and i bought that instead. Thunderbolt absolutely rocks if you want a classic metal album at all.

Picked up a really nice AC/DC t-shirt in Asda / George today. They were proudly displaying them on the end of an aisle next to the beer.

A tenner for an officially licensed double sided tee isn't bad at all. Admittedly they aren't as thick material as the ones you get from gigs but as a retro t-shirt to wear whilst out with the dog on hikes i'm happy with. It's like a denim tie dye in colour. Certainly different. The print itself appears to be very good quality.

They also had very nice Kiss and Pink Floyd ones as well.

Like I’ve just said on Facebook, can’t argue with number 1 seeing as it’s my favourite solo of all time (PULSE version)

[Demdike@Cult Labs]

Fantastic to see Alter Bridge's Blackbird up there.

A genuine masterpiece of the 21st century with very emotional lyrics and a solo which makes your body shiver from Mark Tremonti.

[Rik]

Great album

I quite like some of Tremonti’s solo stuff too

Just turned the new Tool album off after 3 and a 1/2 songs, sorry but what a load of overhyped, overrated shite!
Thank **** I didn’t pay for it, although I may email Spotify for a partial refund on this months subscription

[Justin101]

The Tool album is only available in an £80 physical edition that includes a digital screen with built in speakers for an 'immersive visual experience'. No regular CD, no vinyl... I almost don't even want to listen to it because that's just a weird way to treat fans.

That’s not a weird way to treat fans, that’s a shitty way to treat fans, especially those that have waited 13 years for the album, that’s a piss take move!
