Product Description
The Finnish Goth Metal Band's Fourth Album is Sure to Swell the Ranks of the Converted as this is their Most Polished, Best Written Album Yet. Ville Valo is One of the Most Compelling Figures in Rock Today and his Vocals Just Get Better with Each Successive Release. This Album Could Ultimately Turn Out to Be their Finest Moment, However, Judging from the Past Progression, There is Probably a Lot More to Come. The Video of "The Funeral of Hearts" is Enhanced as a Special Bonus.

Long derided by critics as unoriginal and uninspired, Saliva has gained popularity among legions of rock & roll fans eager to celebrate good times with a bottle of domestic beer at their sides and their fists thumping high, high in the air. Blood Stained Love Story seems unlikely to change critical minds--much of the album, including "Ladies and Gentlemen," "Never Gonna Change" and the unimaginatively titled "Twister" comes off like warmed-over '80s hair metal. While it's true that the record features blazing guitar leads and drumming that'll hasten the beats of the average rock-starved heart, it seems unlikely that it--or the band that created it--will make an entry into the pantheon of timeless rock & roll. Thoroughly disposable. --Jedd Beaudoin
Album Description
For gold-selling Memphis turbo-rockers Saliva, the past couple years of their decade-long career have brought an ocean swell of change. One or more members have had children, stopped drinking, ended longterm relationships, gotten married and/or left the group, and each instance has been accompanied by a new sense of clarity.
As a result, Saliva's fifth album Blood Stained Love Story resounds with a previously untapped level of passion, energy, sincerity and diversity, not to mention an undeniable melodicism that will endear the band to anyone that feels any sort of connection between reality and music.
"I think we've all been through a blood stained love story of one type or another," says frontman Josey Scott. "It's kind of a metaphor for how things can be a certain way for so long, and then within a day, they just change and you're on this whole other path."
Blood Stained Love Story is an album of growth, a realization that there are more important things in life than cover stories, photo shoots and big Hollywood parties. But while it may be more mature than Saliva's past efforts, it's no less turbulent.

Recent discover of an instant classic.......2007-05-20
Every once in a while, a band releases a CD that is great from beginning to end. Saliva did that with "Blood Stained Love Story". Although my first experience with this band is on this CD alone, and I have not yet had the pleasure of experiencing their previous works, I am looking forward to enjoying their other efforts as well. I am not one of these people who expect a band to have a similar sound throughout their careers, to me that shows no artistic venture. So, when any band releases a new CD, I enjoy it for the fact that it is a new production. Whatever it is that they (Saliva) have done in the past will be enjoyed as the separate works of art they have produced for my listening pleasure. "Blood Stained Love Story" is a great introduction to Saliva's music for me, and I look forward to their future works as well.
Saliva is back with a decent album.......2007-05-01
Two and a half years since thier last album (and worst) the boys from Memphis are back with a decent album. Better than their "Survival of the Sickest" (3 stars) but not as good as "Every 6 Seconds" or "Back into Your System" (both 4.5 stars). The main reason, to me anyway, is the growing amount of slower songs the groups puts out. Shorter than their other albums with only 10 songs, 1 is almost a classic, 1 I skip, 5 are good and the other 3 are ok. While it's a decent album and a good one for their fans, I prefer their earlier work more.

Saliva flirts with power ballads and mainstream rock.......2007-04-26
THE BAND: Josey Scott (vocals), Wayne Swinny (guitars), Dave Novotny (bass), Paul Crosby (drums & percussion).
THE DISC: (2007) 10 tracks clocking in at approximately 40 minutes. Included with the disc is a 10-page booklet containing song titles/credits, song lyrics, one band photo and thank you's. All songs written by Saliva and producer Bob Marlette. Recorded at The Blue Room in Woodland Hills, CA. Label - Island Records.
COMMENTS: A lot has happened since this band formed in '96 in Memphis, TN. From a nice beginning in the alternative/nu-metal/post-grunge category in the late 90's, to a more calm and slick, well produced rock album in 2007. Saliva no longer belongs with the nu-metal acts like Korn, P.O.D., Mudvayne, Papa Roach, and Linkin Park. Instead, they can join the likes of Nickelback, Creed, Puddle Of Mudd, Buckcherry and Staind. Not necessarily a bad thing - just depends on your individual tastes. Fans that heralded their older albums as their best material will no doubt cry SELL OUT on "Blood Stained Love Story". I, for one, was not a huge fan of their first (major) album, "Every Six Seconds" (2001). I've never been a nu-metal fan, so most of this disc went right by me. "Back Into Your System" (2002) still may be their most complete album to date... and even in '07, it's still my favorite of theirs... balancing post grunge, hard rock, and minimizing the rap (not to mention one of their best songs in their catalog, "Superstar II"). Saliva's 3rd album "Survival Of The Sickest" (2004) is a good album, but the writing was on the wall - and you could see the band was leaning toward mainstream rock - almost no rap or nu-metal feel, and the emergence of the rock power ballad(s). And that brings us to "Blood Stained Love Story". Two immediate hits with "Ladies And Gentleman (reaching #1 on the US Mainstream Rock chart) and "Broken Sunday" (reaching #34). To be honest, when I heard first heard "Ladies And Gentlemen", it really caught my attention because I thought it was a new song from Doug Pinnick and King's X. Both these songs are worthy of being overplayed - wonderful melodies and crunchy guitars. I predict the next hit might well be the first ballad on the album, "Never Gonna Change". Other highlights include the hard rocking "King Of The Stereo", the mid tempo rocker "One More Chance", and the heaviest tune on the disc, "Black Sheep". Perhaps a few too many rock ballads here ("Going Under", "Starting Over" and "Here With You" to name a few more), but over all a very listenable album. This is the 1st Saliva album where I don't find myself skipping tracks. Side note: I never really gave Saliva much credit in the beginning. But, hearing their music on several Playstation-2 games, on ESPN Sportscenter, several movie soundtracks (Spiderman, Daredevil, Fast & Furious, Talladega Nights, etc), having the song "Ladies And Gentleman" used for several professional sports team pregame warm-ups, and recently opening for Aerosmith and Kiss - I'm convinced Saliva has made a name for themselves [...]. Good album, though not what I was expecting - in a good way (4+ stars).
A Good Album.......But Could Be A lot Better!!!!.......2007-04-11
I will admit I've been a Saliva fan since "Every Six Seconds" first came out, But I've also wondered why they can't seem to make another record as good as that one. As good as 2002's "Back Into Your System" was it never came close, in fact it included the first of their songs that I got very tired of hearing (Always) and the second (Rest In Pieces)...Even though they are both great songs. Fast forward to 2004 and we got "Survival Of The Sickest" an album that was a step forward, but still not great. It had kind of a cool southern rock feel to it at times. Which isn't a bad thing, but it still didn't feel like a genuine Saliva record to me.
So, When I first heard that "Blood Stained Love Story" was coming out in January, I got really excited. I figured maybe this was what I had been waiting for, a return to form. However, when I heard the album I was once again disapointed. It starts out okay....with the first single "Ladies And Gentleman" and "Broken Sunday"....Then it takes a wierd turn downward with "Never Gonna Change" which sounds like it could have easily been done by Clay Aiken or any of the other American Idol contestants. It's a slow song that sounds like a drum machine behind it, instead of Paul Crosby. But, I made myself listen further and It improves slightly with "King Of The Stereo" perhaps the only song that sounds like a saliva song on the whole disc. "One More Chance" and "Going Under" are both pretty descent songs, but when I listened to "Twister" I remember thinking, What the hell happened? It has to be the worst track on here, it's a very experimental song that I have yet to explain. It is however the records closer that is the most impressive, "Here With You" could very well be the nicest, most heart-felt thing this band has written. In one part he sings "I will come to you in a dream my friend, To love you when I'm gone". Overall this album is okay....But not great. This band could have done a whole lot better and I'm still hoping that the next album will be. On average, I wouldn't recommend this whole album to anyone, just the last song. If you want to hear Saliva at their best...I recommend the debut album, with that one you can't go wrong.
Stand Out Tracks:
"Here With You"
"King Of The Stereo"
"Broken Sunday"
"Ladies And Gentleman"
Copycats should be their name.......2007-04-07
Every song on this CD sounds as though these guys sat down and listened to other bands and then tweeked the tune a little. The second song on the CD sounds like Animals from Nickelback. If you know who Galactic Cowboys are then you'll recognize Ladies And Gentlemen etc... The best song might be Blacksheep but every song on here got copyed from someone.

OK.......2007-02-15
I do not know what it is about AMERICAN BAND. It is like FORD or CHEVY vs BMW or TOYOTA. Something is missing....its get bored after all. Not to mention from the start, it does not have that exciting refreshing kick to it. UK bands and Scandinavian bands some how GETS IT.
Astro creep's grooviest metal.......2007-02-07
Im usually into white zombie not that interested in rob zombie albums I don't hate em but im usually into the old white zombie stuff alot more. the first song has the perfect speed guitar riff groove ELECTRIC HEAD and SUPER CHARGER HEAVEN. REAL SOLUTION # 9 has the slow heavy guitar riffs and rob sings in a very low voice which is hard to hear what he's saying but very good you would have to read the lyrics to understand and the last one was my most favorite MORE HUMAN THAN HUMAN. 5/5 STARS
A heavy experience.......2006-11-17
This album is great from beginning to end. A classic heavy-metal album, from Electric Head to Blood, Milk and Sky, this is a ride that will fire you up and stir the demons from within. One of my most listened to CD's, still a favourite, even today.
"I remember her saying, I'm already dead...".......2006-01-31
Boy, if the only "metal" you kiddies have been exposed to is that whiny HIM junk, I pity you.
THIS is a REAL industrial-metal album. If that's what you want, this is one you're gonna want.
The pounding, heart-pumping drive of "Supercharger Heaven". (DEVILMAN, DEVILMAN!)
The riff-driven "Creature Of The Wheel".
The ominous-sounding opener, "Electric Head: The Agony (Pt. 1)".
The hit, "More Human Than Human".
And so many more.
Also, the fun, B-movie horror theme (artwork, samples, lyrics) that has come to be associated with Rob Zombie's work is clearly present, and it's campy and really adds to the album.
This is a loud, proud 90's staple. Check it out if you wanna scare all the Yellowcard fans.
and you don't already own this because.....?.......2006-01-12
Unlike Rob zombie's sole stuff white zombie is more gritty, has more guitar work going on and doesn't have as much of an industrial influence to it, but it's still there so don't worry. A lot of the songs are an adrenaline rush and will have up and doing something energenic. One thing about white zombie that I like but don't like about other bands is the use of soundbytes because it adds to the music and doesn't distract from it. So if you like Rob Zombie or metal then buy this cd you won't regret it.

Outstanding early 90's rock, as always.......2007-02-05
Just a fantastic album pretty much all around, Andy was destined to be a mega star but fate prevailed in the end, but we still have this brilliant album to fall back on. This is Shangrila, Come Bite The Apple, Bone China, Crown of Thorns are just absolutely fantastic tracks. RIP Andy
Takes me back.......2007-01-24
I bought this album in 1992, freshman year in college. I was blown away by the force and depth of the music. 15 years later, unlike so much other music from my teens, this album still rocks. RIP Andrew Wood. You gave the world your gift and then you were consumed by it.
Unexpected........2006-12-14
When I bought this album I was a huge Pearl Jam, and had heard of Mother Love Bone in the past and knew a very little about them. Knowing they were the precursor to groups like Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, I bought it ona whim. I was pleasantly suprised to find something that sounded completely different than what I expected. With Andrew Wood's amazing glam rock vocals, Gossard and Ament's free range song writing, and an altogether kick in the balls sound, it's worth however much you're going to spend.
Mother Love Bone.......2006-11-10
Andrew Woods was a brilliant pianist and awesome singer. Mostly 80's sounding "Hair Band", which is excellent. Two songs off the chain; are, "Man of Golden Words", and "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns". Overall; this is an excellent CD with a very distinct sound. One of a kind.
Mother love of all albums.......2006-08-10
Although I still have a greater love of things later (Pearl Jam), MLB are the clear inspiration. Andrew's lyrics coupled with Stone's riffs and Jeff's bass are what you can only describe as beautiful melodic rock.
If you love Jeff Buckley's sense of melody / ultimate beauty, and Freddie's sense of dash then you will love this. I will always state that I love listening to PJ/Nirvana/Reef/Live/Just Ginger/RHCP/Billy Joel/Radiohead more, but MLB will always somehow find its way to the top of my playlist through sheer quality and beauty of music.
Make no mistake, Andy Wood could have made MLB the Led Zep of our time. Awesome, what a boy: like Jeff and Kurt, let us just be thankful for what there was from him.

Not QUITE classic Coop, but worth a buy.......2007-04-13
Yeah, this is good, and better than the two preceding albums (Pretties for You and Easy Action), but it's not at the level of Killer or Billion Dollar Babies at all. I mean, it's likeable enough, and contains some of their best songs. I'm 18 is my favorite Coop song ever, thanks to the harmonica, guitar, and Coop's insightful but funny lyrics. Caught in a Dream and Long Way to Go are also great, and Hallowed be My Name is good. All of these make this a good purchase for even casual Coop fans such as myself (interestingly, I've heard all of ACG's albums yet consider myself a "casual fan"). But some of this is very, VERY bad. Like Black Juju. It goes on for nine freaking minutes! Okay, I like jamming when in the right hands, and the group sure had the chops to pull it off. But it's just BORING. That's not their strong suit - three minute muscular, riffy, catchy rockers with funny lyrics like, well... I'm 18. And they pull another with Ballad of Dwight Fry, thankfully shorter but still not very good. Second Coming and the concert favorite Is It My Body are just mediocre. Not bad, mind you, but mediocre. They exist merely to exist, and I don't get how Body made it on ACG's Greatest Hits in the place of, say, Caught in a Dream or Long Way to Go.
So this is an average album, with quite a few average songs, but it's not at all bad and has a few tremendous songs other than I'm Eighteen (as well as I'm Eighteen itself, of course). Don't start your Coop collection here - go with either Greatest Hits or Killer. But be sure to pick it up sometime, because Caught in a Dream and Long Way to Go are both very underrated.
Love it to Death Man.......2007-01-02
I remember hearing "Black Juju " and being blown completely away with the atmosophere it created. Alice Cooper has always been for me a larger than life experience. This cd was their turn around in turns of sound. Ezrin made these bad dudes even worse. Every song is a masterpiece and every song,for me,is a picture of my youth painted in the tapestry of the greatest shock rock act to date : Alice Cooper!!!
The Big Break For Alice And The Boys.......2006-12-07
"I'm 18 And I Like It"! With those immortal words that resonated with every 18 year old from 1971 to 2006 the Alice Cooper band became stars. "Love It To Death" was the first album for the band on a major label, and although it has it's flaws the good stuff on this album ranks with the all time best from Alice and the boys. This was also the first album with Bob Ezrin at the production helm. He would prove to be the catalyst for much of Cooper's output for years to come. The album contained two huge singles "18" and "Is It My Body" that still receive tons of classic rock airplay to this day. But the real meat of this album is the two longer pieces. "Black Juju" clocks in at more than 9 minutes and is the blueprint for the many horror epics that would be the Alice's trademark to this day. The band plays it up on this one too, with interesting instrumental passages that set the mood for the dark lyrics. The other truly great track on the album is "The Ballad Of Dwight Fry". This is prime fillet Alice and is still the theatrical centerpiece to his live shows today. In "Fry" Alice firsts discovers his alter ego character which he would refer to in the 3rd person in interview from this point forward. The sight of Alice on stage in a straightjacket singing "I gotta get out of here" still can send shivers up the spine. Two other interesting songs appear on the album both dealing with Christianity. "Hallowed Be Thy Name" (written by Smith) and "Second Coming" (written by Cooper) explore interesting aspects of the subject. The Alice Cooper band was still very much a group project at this time with Bruce, Smith and Dunaway writing as much of the material as Alice. The only two songs that don't do much for me are the opener and closer "Caught In A Dream" and "Sun Arise". The Cooper Band's stage show would really start to develop on this tour as well, with theatrics becoming almost as important to the music. "Love It To Death" is the album that vaulted the band into superstardom and it is worthy of that achievement.
Shock Rock Perfection.......2006-09-15
Is there a better twisted hard rock album in existence? I doubt it. In addition to the instantly memorable melodies performed by the classic Alice Cooper line-up, we get Alice's uniquely weird lyrics to go with them. The songs humorously address such topics as teenage confusion/angst in the Top Forty hit "I'm Eighteen"; the occult in "Black Juju"; Christianity in "Hallowed By My Name" and "Second Coming"; and teen restlessness in the opening track "Caught In A Dream" and "Long Way To Go". This disc had way too much influence on me as a teen. Mental illness ("Ballad of Dwight Fry") seemed so fantastically exotic when Alice was singing about it. Alas, though I'm not as nutty as poor Dwight, I'm not quite right in the head either these days. Long rock songs tend to bore me but "Ballad" and "Black Juju" are perfectly justified in their length. There's not a wasted note in either song. This was the first Alice Cooper album produced by Bob Ezrin. Under his guidance the band really flowered. He would go on to produce the remaining classic Alice Cooper albums "Killer" through "Billion Dollar Babies". Check these out as well- they're almost as good as "Death".
Clearly their best album.......2006-09-04
This is when the band peaked. You had the perfect combination of legitimate rock, bold experimentation and trademark theatrics.
Alice Cooper started out as a band. They first made 2 very novice, "looking to find themselves" albums and then they hit their stride with this one. Subsequent works either went too far towards the theatrical side or focused too much on Alice Cooper the personality.
While not a perfect album in any way, it does summarize the objective of a tough and gritty Detroit band trying to establish yet distinguish themselves among a landscape of the flower power movement. This is not a Led Zep II, CCR, Ziggy Stardust quality album yet it is a very honest and original work from a band that was going to be going places.
"I'm Eighteen". "Is it my Body" "Ballad of Dwight Frye" and "Caught in a Dream" are the highlights. "Sun Arise" is a nice song (I think it was a cover) that you would never expect from this band.
While Alice Cooper, the personality, was of a definite star power quality, I almost think that if the actual band stayed together they may have developed and qualified to become a legit heavyweight rock group on par with other bands from the era
This band would self destruct with "Muscle of Love" just a few years later.

Please relase a remastered version of this!.......2007-03-31
This is a classic must have CD. They really need to release a remastered version like every other band is doing now with their older releases.
The best Soundgarden Album.......2007-01-19
Probably not a sentiment shared by many, and I won't go into an excrutiating critique, but in my mind this is their best album. Songs like "Hands All Over," "Ugly Truth," "Uncovered," "Loud Love," and "Heretic (which did not appear on the album)" represent the band at their finest. Don't get me wrong, their subsequent albums were superb as well (even the relatively benign "Down On The Upside..."), but Chris' air raid siren vocals, Hiro's foundation crushing bass, and Kim's wailing guitar placed this as one of the best metal albums of all time.
garden of mediocraty.......2006-03-21
ok so I know that sounds harsh for a review title, but it was their first album and heavily influenced by their Seattle band mates Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains. They really evolved over the course of their career. if you are accustomed to the sound of Super Unknown then buy Bad Motor Finger and Down on the Upside. However if you like this album buy Ultramega ok.
monument in molten metal.......2006-02-04
This album changed my life. I hated most all heavy music that came out after _Master of Puppets_ . . . until this. And then it was grunge grunge grunge. I thought the grunge thing was a clever way for marketers to call Soundgarden something other than metal, as this stuff is about as metal as you could ever get. Lots of hair, bludgeoning riffs, high high screamy voice, guitar shredding: everything except the hairspray, spandex, and songs about scoring chicks (notable exception: "Big Dumb Sex," the perfect parody of the hair scene--"Know what to do,/ I'm gonna f**k, f**k, f**k, f**k you). Not to say it doesn't do things that metal had never done, 'coz it does, assuring it its rightful place in the metal pantheon.
First off, Chris Cornell's lyrics are not your typical hormonal metal chants. Some of these are diatribes. "Hands All Over" rains down hard on globalization, using abstraction to get his point across in an intellectual way: "Hands all over the coastal waters./ The crewmen thank her,/ then lay down their oily blanket." Light years beyond AC/DC. The immediate parallel is of course Zeppelin. And of course Soundgarden owes them a huge debt (what rock band after them doesn't?). What I find differentiates Soundgarden from Zep more than anything is Thayil's guitar. Listen close and at times his guitar sounds positively Farsi or raga, not always in the controlled way you hear white bands play when they are trying to be "world," but in a way that sounds like him taking his Iranian upbringing and putting it through a filter of rage. I also love his use of harmonics. Few guitarists are as good at making the instrument sound as scary as an exorcism. And of course, he shreds with the best of them, taking the excursions into more post-tonal territory than his harmony-obsessed counterparts doing their time in bands like Poison and Winger. You don't have to think hard to know that he is one of my favorite rock guitarists ever.
_Louder than Love_ stands alongside of their albums near the pinnacle. It's a different beast than any of their others, a transition from the more loose (and also excellent) _Ultramega OK_ to the tighter _Badmotorfinger_. I like the tension and the dynamics on this one. It's the more hippy Soundgarden. I sometimes wonder if I like this a little more than their later stuff because Hiro Yamamoto is still on the bass here. I just wonder if he brought a slightly more sludgy feel to the band than Ben Shepherd, nonetheless a fine rock bassist. Whatever it is, _Louder Than Love_ will be remembered as a monument to the late eighties, the molten metal that singed the life out of the plastic metal out there and really put the bad stuff out of commission for good, never to dominate the charts again. It's a monument that says, "metal shouldn't be commercial, it should scream 'can't escape the louder pull--LOUD LOVE! LOUD LOVE! LOU-OUD LO-OO-A-OV," magmatic riffs and feedback careening with hyperkinetic drums all the while.
COOL BEGINNING.......2005-12-18
Formula: Led Zeppelin+Black Sabbath+Seattle: Soundgarden. It's very strange the fact that Soundgarden is a band from Seattle... grunge... musically they are very superior than their fellas from there. I've always thought that they were more metal than anything else. Guitar melodies really get your attention, as Cornell's voice, that looks like "a very angry 90's Robert Plant". 'No Wrong No Right' has an incredible beginning with its drums n' guitar attack! The devastation keeps on with Cornel's screaming! Afterwards, the bass lines are less aggressive, but fit exactly with the melody sequence. Sensational! The lyrics of the album are most of time very interesting. Provocative as enigmatic ones, they represent for me a lot of puzzling. Well, maybe it's only a comprehension problem for an uneducated poor brazilian thing like me. I burst in laughs with track #6 lyrics 'Full on Kevin's Mom'. I think that little crap one of the few bad things in this album. It's a dangerous hardcore with idiot words... if it was instrumental, it would be wonderful! I couldn't really understand the message here, if you did, please, tell me: [...]. The other thing I didn't like was production. The sound is not very clear, the recording seems to be a little precarious. Conclusion : that's a cool album, but if you are new to Soundgarden, you'd rather get Badmotorfinger first.
Top3: Hands All Over (#2), Loud Love (#7), No Wrong No Right (#9).

Gems between the much-played hits.......2007-01-06
Let me preface by saying that I rate according to how satisfied I have been since discovering or re-discovering music that I buy, or, know enough to have a decent opinion from earlier experience with it. If you think you MAY like a band or cd, gotten onto Amazon (which is primo) and listened to the samples for the cd, then you know pretty much what you're in for. Reviews help alot, though. But, reviewers who blast a cd or band for personal, almost political reasons don't help those of us debating to buy based on what we like to hear. Just had to get that out to let you know I'm sincere when I say... this cd is full of really great Scorpions songs. Really great songs period. Sure, many were played over and over on radio, but for good reason. I love the Scorp's, and I appreciate "Big City Nights" as much as anyone, but I've heard it a million times. It's the gems in between that seal the deal on this one. "Coming Home" for instance. Song samples do this one no justice because of how it cuts loose later. "Same Thrill", "As Soon as the Good Times Roll", and the timeless anti-war "Crossfire" are really, really good. I saw these guys 3 times back in the 80' in Chicago. Fun, energetic, loud, powerful tunes; a great stage show every time. The rest of their earlier stuff is exceptional as well. This one, "Animal Magnetism", and "Lovedrive" are essential for those of us who like, or love, the Scorpions.
Their Biggest Sting.......2006-12-22
George Orwell was wrong. 1984 was the year of the Scorpion. The German quintet exploded into superstardom with the release of "Love At First Sting". The album featured three songs that made the Billboard Top 100, and the album itself peaked at number 6 on the Billboard album chart. The phenomenal success of the album sparked an 18-month world tour, which then fueled their second live recording, `World Wide Live'. A small aside: in the summer of 1984, as a 23 year-old music industry professional I had the good fortune to gain access to the Scorpions' sound check in Winnipeg, Canada, where I stood next to the mixing console, shoulder to shoulder with then little-known rock icons John Bongiovi and Richard Sambora, enjoying a fantastic half-hour experience.
There isn't a bad track on this album. From the pure metal of "Coming Home" to the staccato drumbeat in the anti-war "Crossfire", this album has all the melody, metal, and meat that Scorpions fans have come to expect. There is a reason that this was their greatest commercial success - it's a great album, not just as a period piece, but as a wonderful piece of work that has ably stood the test of time.
A small piece of trivia: although Francis Buchholtz is credited for playing on the album, and in fact toured with the band following the album's release, and is in the cover photo, it was Dio bassist Jimmy Bain who did the bass parts while recording the album.
Good Music, Bad Print.......2006-11-07
I am an old Scorpions fan, and always considered "Love At Firts Sting" one of their best albums of latter era. Actually, it's their last album with some original ideas, just like "Flick Of The Switch" was for AC/DC.
I purchased this album when I started replacing my dust gathering collection of tape records made in 80's and early 90's, finally having decided to get some quality sound of my old idols. How great was my disappointment wheh I have heard this CD! The quality is quite similair to what I had on my old tape - low record level, high frequencies are not audible. In short - you've got nothing of Mattias Jabs and Rudy Schenker guitars, quite a little of Klaus Meine voice, which was good back then.
I've heard Scorpions live this summer on private concert in Moscow: they performed mostly the songs from this album, and even given all those years passed, they sounded better.
And I thought they couldn't top Blackout.......2006-07-06
Well... they did. I read somewhere that the Scorps were in the Glam Metal genre. That's ridiculous. They're straight up hard rock. If you're not familiar with Rudolf Schenker's brother Michael, you must check out UFO. Why they aren't more popular, I'll never know. If you're looking for a guitar hero, check out Michael Schenker's guitarwork on the live version of Rock Bottom.

The songs are better when contrasted by other material..........2007-07-14
...but when you listen to them all together on the disc it gets repetitive because they are similar. This probably should have just been an EP with a few of the better songs. When you hear one of the songs on a radio station it sounds pretty good because there is contrast. Personally what I think makes Queens so good is that their discs offer a lot of contrast so each of the songs stand out. My recommendation is download a few of your favorites but I can't recommend the disc as a whole.
..............Too Sexy For Death....................2007-02-23
This is one one the funnest albums I own. I love these guy's and I would like give the musical credit to Jesse 'the Devil' Hughes. And Josh 'Baby Duck' Homme for finding the Devil and teaming up with and bringing him to us. I hope these guys make a 3rd, 4th and so on....
Good tunes for driving.......2007-02-10
now, I know this CD gets a little redundant with the riffs and lyrics, but it is a stoner rock classic. I just love the music and don't care who else likes it...
...nuff said!
File this under the dictionary definition of "rock".......2006-04-09
Even though it's Josh Homme's fun side project, EODM seems to be Jesse Hughes' life. This album rocks, with only a few missteps, from start to finish. The songs are short, raucous, randy (picture Austin Powers saying "randy"), and completely irrelevant to the great philosophical, psychological, and sociopolitical problems of our day. It's all good times and winking occult references.
Go Eagles!.......2006-01-02
Josh Homme has become a sort of "King Midas" of good modern rock. I don't understand, but Kyuss and Eagles of Death Metal are as amazing as Queens of the Stone age. Litarally, everything this guy touches turns to gold. Eagles of Death Metal rock like mad, to sum things up. Yes, the songs may sound the same, but its a good thing in this case. Just pick it up, especially all you Queens of the Stone Age fans.

The last album with the original lineup (unless you count the 1998 reunion Psycho Circus), Love Gun contains a few missteps (such as the reworking of the classic "Then He Kissed Me") but is mostly packed to the gills with the good, fun, trashy rock & roll that made Kiss legendary. One frequently overlooked high point is the song "Almost Human," which strikes a positively creepy note. Then there's Ace Frehley's first stint on lead vocals with "Shock Me," the un-PC but affectionate "Plaster Caster," and the well-known title track. True, there's no equivalent to "Rock & Roll All Night" (the obvious attempt falls flat), but that doesn't stop this from being not only classic Kiss, but classic 1970s rock. -- Genevieve Williams

Customer Reviews:
More of KISS in their Prime!!!.......2007-05-30
Like a sister to "Rock and Roll Over" - "Love Gun" offers more blistering live in the studio rock. To me, the highlight here has to be "Shock Me" and not just because it's the first song Ace sings, but because of that SOLO! It's one of his best solos ever! But "Love Gun" "Christine Sixteen" "Got Love for Sale" and "I Stole Your Love" are all Kiss classics! One of Peter's best songs, "Hooligan" - which is even better live is found here. This album really showcases each of the four members very well. I know they started really battling each other at this point, but the music didn't suffer (yet). The only other thing I have to say is why oh why have they never played "Almost Human" live? That songs absolutley rips!!!
it's kiss.......2006-10-24
Kiss have an album with 3 good songs and the rest filler?No way !your kidding ? Alive and Alive II albums were so cool because you could hear all the explosions of the pyrotechniques,The live albums should have come with a pack of firecrackers .It probably did well for the retail sales of firecrackers .i wonder if there ever were kiss firecrackers . if not i bet they tried.
End of an era.......2006-09-14
While I can appreciate Kiss's return to their hard rock roots, this is not a steady effort. Rock N Roll Over, which preceded this album, is far superior. Kiss made the decision to return to making basic hard rock music in 1976 after the dissapointing and confusing "Destroyer". "Rock N Roll Over" was a success. It had the quality songs similar to the first three albums but it had better production quality. Kiss tried to continue the formula with Love Gun but with a few notable exceptions, the songs just weren't there.
Best tracks: "Plaster Caster", "I Stole Your Love", "Love Gun"
The Kiss Brand Grows Stale.......2006-08-07
It's hard to believe almost thirty years has passed since "Love Gun" was released. Thirty years! This is when Kiss was at its pinnacle of popularity. They'd come close, but never again would they scale the heights of success they had achieved at this point.
This has never been one of my favorite Kiss CDs, although it is notable for two reasons. First, it was Ace Frehley's lead vocal debut ("Shock Me"), and the last album in which the four members directly participated. And it was when Kiss was arguably at the peak of their popularity.
There are some true gems here ("Christeen Sixteen," "Plaster Caster," and "I Stole Your Love"), but the dull and insipid stuff tends to dominate ("And Then She Kissed Me"?). I even found the song "Love Gun" to be a bit of a drag. And being eight years-old at he time of it's release, Paul Stanley's subtlety wasn't lost on me.
So what did I find to be the problem with this album? It seemed like filler to me. And from what I've read, the band had burned out to the point where tensions ran high between members, and they almost called it quits. If not for the solo album idea, this might have been their last album.
"Christeen Sixteeen" is one of my all time Kiss favorites. And while the lyrics to "Plaster Caster" are definitely goofy, the sound still sounds damn good after all these years! "I Stole Your Love" is not one of their better songs, but in relation to the other songs on the album, it's pretty good. I agree with a previous reviewer in that the live version is much better.
Has age dulled my love for this album? Perhaps. It definitely was a step backwards form its predecessors -- "Destroyer" and "Rock and Roll Over." It just sounds lazy. "Tomorrow and Tonight" is second rate at best, while "And Then She Kissed Me" seems odd and out of place. It's the Kiss brand name that saves this album. Had another band released this, it probably would have been forgotten.
Looking for a place to start with Kiss? This wouldn't be the right album to begin your journey. I'd recommend "Destroyer" or "Rock and Roll Over." Better yet, one of the countless greatest hits collections to give you a well rounded picture. But as far as individual albums go -- this one doens't rank very high with me.
filler.......2006-07-03
This album is ok, but was filled with filler material such as Then she...., Hooligan, Got love for sale and tomorrow and tonight. Thats 40% filler. That along with really weak production (probably rushed at the time) equalls 60% ok review.. aka 3 stars... Not one of their better albums.

Desperate third set.......2007-07-23
Burning Brides is one of those garage sounding type of bands. Not at all what you would call main stream but good solid rock none the less. Their second CD, "Leave No Ashes", was a great independent listen and to date, my favorite by this small group. Hang Love seems a bit like they took some of the more popular songs off the last CD and copied all their songs to sound like them. It's not a bad CD at all, but to me, most of the songs sound alike. Still, it's the kind of music I tend to play in my band. It's worth a listen, hey, you may just fall in love.
Prepare to be blown away!.......2007-06-25
Burning Brides have outdone themselves with this new album! I got goosebumps from the first strum of Dimiti's mighty axe! This band continues to produce new and amazing music. Each song on this album leaves an impression that will NOT be forgotten. What I feel is most different on this album, as compared to the first two releases, is an obvious L.A. feel to the sounds that I hear. It is almost as if the band has become more comfortable with themselves as artists...thank goodness for that ocean air! Props to Burning Brides for creating their best album yet!
Back With A Vengance.......2007-06-24
Hang Love is The Burning Brides 3rd record, and it is amazing. To me it takes all the best parts of their two previous records Fall of the Plastic Empire and Leave No Ashes, and then adds a whole heaping of Heavy. Having been a fan for a long time, its great to see them continuing to push themselves to make their songs better, and not rest on their laurels. My picks for top song are: Waring Street, Your Nation Will Die, and Poor House.

This is the greatest glam record of all time. Way better, more pure and harder rocking than Shout at the Devil.
One of Motley's and the eighties best.......2007-01-12
This album was the beginning of the glam metal scene. Released in 1982 it only sold about 100,000 copies which is actually remarkable considering MTV or radio wouldn't go near it. Motley Crue combined mteal,punk,glam, and pop on this album. Singer Vince Neil never sounds better or more original then this disc. The songs are all catchy(usually under three minutes) and rock hard. Not a simple feat. Most metal bands drone on for 6-8 minuter per song. The album celebrates being young and the recklessness of not having a care in the world. The arenas would be calling on their next disc, but Motley was never better then right here.
An Amazing Debut for the crue, quite possibly the best. Or close........2006-07-19
A great album.
tough stuff.......2006-06-28
"Raw, powerful, gritty" are the adjectives most of the other reviewers are using, and with good reason. This is the straight up real deal.
The lyrics to "Live Wire" are what Tipper Gore read on the floor of the US house of reps, her hands and voice shaking, when she was trying to promote censorship of Rock. ("I'll either break her face or take down her legs...")
Unfortunately, MC got worse instead of better. 'Shout @ Devil' was a very good follow up, but from there on out, they were in large part pandering to the crowd instead of screaming from the heart.
Great album..........2006-06-04
I will try to make this short and sweet. This Motley Crue album is about as raw as it gets. The band pretty much played live, but without all the screaming fans. The whole album is awesome! It is as good as Dr. Feelgood but in a different way. It is worth it to buy.
