Tracklist side A:
- GILLAN - Your Mother Was Right
One of his more funny/proggy moments, taken from the "For Gillan Fans Only" bonus-LP featured in some editions of the "Glory Road" album. - WARRIOR - Fighting For The Earth
A great, classic fistpounder proving 'Mainstream Metal' isn't necessarily a derogatory term. Or wasn't in 1985 anyway.. - 220 VOLT - Firefall (Specialmix)
Type-A Swedish Metal, i.e. good vocal melodies over solid, crunchy riffing, - Gary Moore - Murder In The Skies
One of the better tunes from his most Metal period is great, catchy 'NWOBHM' all the way. - GILLAN - On The Rocks
Classic Gillan from the classic "Glory Road" album. - MANOWAR - Guyana (Cult Of The Damned)
Perhaps the greatest Heavy Metal tune of 1984.
Tracklist side B:
- BEDLAM - Take It To The Top
Dull boogie-Metal. - Gary Moore - End Of The World
It's hard to imagine how GM was once this great at making almost perfect Heavy Metal. - HEAVY LOAD - I Am Me
This unreleased cut from the "Stronger Than Evil"-session should make the whole album a must-buy for serious HL fans & collectors, as it serves as one of the finest and most catchy tunes from this session. Later features on a bonus CD included in the No Remorse 2018 STE album reissue. - GILLAN - Might As Well Go Home (Mystic)
Another solid Gillan-rocker, taken from the B-side of the "No Easy Way" single. - MANOWAR - The Oath
Damn near ubeatable. - ZERO NINE - Never Stop Running
The kind of basic mainstream HR/HM that feels both catchy and forgettable at the same time.
