Fun fact - there is not a duff track on this album ! Well, maybe Im sick of hearing Wind of Change and thats because it was played to death back in the day, but its not a bad song even for that. There is an energy to this album that I find connected to autumn. A rawness. Actually in the same vein is Skid Rows Sub Human Race album. Again, not a duff track on that one either, and again just sounds so good as the harsh weather and dark nights close in.
More metal albums without a duff track ( and there arent as many as you first imagine ) are Iron Maidens Killers album and Ive been listening to that for nearly 40 years. That sounds insane but it came out in 1980, so...Guns n Roses Appetite for Destruction has no duff tracks either . Its not natural for a CD to be 100% pleasing with no " filler " tracks. It may be most common in a bands early albums ? Oh, and Metallicas ( just typed Meatallica lol ) Ride the Lightening is another. Yep, early albums seem the best.
I remember Klaus Meine. My sister and I thought he was overdramatic in his music videos. I just looked up photos of him and he looks very old now. My sister used to be a HUGE Skid Row fan because of Sebastian Bach. I like some Metallica (early years) and a few Iron Maiden songs are okay. Guns N Roses I liked for just a few songs but some of the songs on their album (I was very young at the time) are very suggestive. I remember thinking "should I be listening to this?" lol. Other bands my sister liked were Slaughter, Poison, etc. She liked all of the hair bands. I was more into the dark metal or black metal, aside from Goth. One of the best ones I've listened to as of the past ten years would be Theatre of Tragedy.
