EXTD=The Heavy Metal Box - Disc 1 of 4\n 2007 Rhino Entertainment Com
EXTD=pany\n\nOriginally Released October 2, 2007 \n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW
EXTD=:  Heavy metal is the most resilient of rock genres, withstanding
EXTD= the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune as well as fathomles
EXTD=s  fallow periods. At times, it ruled the charts, others it was i
EXTD=n exile, but it  thrived in its outsider status. Throughout it al
EXTD=l, it was never in critical  favor, yet never without a passionat
EXTD=e cult audience that called it their own.  Often, these were adol
EXTD=escent males, particularly in the early days of its  existence, b
EXTD=ut the thing about metal audiences is, they're faithful. Some  ou
EXTD=tgrew the music, but a lot didn't and their fidelity extended to 
EXTD=their  patronage of artists, as they stuck through bands through 
EXTD=thick and thin, giving  the true metal gods long, long careers. I
EXTD=n turn, metal wound up being one of the  only rock genres with a 
EXTD=long sense of history, one that respects and honors the  past as 
EXTD=it regenerates for the future. There's a lineage to heavy metal, 
EXTD=a clear progression from band to band and phase to phase, one tha
EXTD=t is accepted by  historians and fans, even if they wind up argui
EXTD=ng semantics about who belongs  and who doesn't. \n\nAll this mak
EXTD=es a set like Rhino's 2007 four-disc box Heavy Metal a bit easier
EXTD= to assemble, really: there is a story to be told, one that is co
EXTD=mmonly accepted,  one that can't quite be f*cked up. And, more or
EXTD= less, the compilers of Heavy  Metal don't f*ck it up, at least f
EXTD=or a good portion it. Fault should not be laid  at their feet for
EXTD= the absence of the twin titans of Black Sabbath with Ozzy and  L
EXTD=ed Zeppelin -- that's like complaining that the Beatles and the R
EXTD=olling Stones  aren't on a British Invasion box, knowing full wel
EXTD=l they'll never be licensed  anyway, so why complain? Besides, th
EXTD=ere are other M.I.A.s missed as much as  either Sabbath or Zep, s
EXTD=uch as Aerosmith and AC/DC, the bands that got dirtier  than anyb
EXTD=ody in the '70s. Other '70s titans that straddle the metallic lin
EXTD=e  aren't here: Queen, Cheap Trick, etc. but the most crucial abs
EXTD=ence is Van Halen, who ushered in all the guitar pyrotechnics and
EXTD= shiny good  times of mainstream metal of the '80s. And once we'r
EXTD=e in the '80s, there are  some big guys missing as well, such as 
EXTD=Mtley Cre, the kings of the Sunset  strip scene; Def Leppard, t
EXTD=he guys who made metal slick and huge; Bon Jovi, who  crossed it 
EXTD=over; and Guns N' Roses, who made the mainstream grimy again. \n\n
EXTD=Sure, these guys are missing, but the great thing about metal is 
EXTD=that there were plenty of kindred spirits and soundalikes, along 
EXTD=with interesting detours,  enough to present the aural history of
EXTD= the genre through its prime years. So,  even with the big guys m
EXTD=issing, their presence and the basic arc of the genre is  here, p
EXTD=resented in an absorbing fashion. It sidesteps the earliest pre-m
EXTD=etal  bands -- no Cream here, no Hendrix, it starts in cold with 
EXTD="In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,"  which may be the first rock song to carry 
EXTD=such a weary narcotic beat. From  there, it runs through most of 
EXTD=the heavy hitters of the '70s on the first disc,  moving into the
EXTD= New Wave of British Heavy Metal on the second, spending a lot of
EXTD= time  on the Sunset Strip and dabbling in the underground on the
EXTD= third disc, before  wrapping things up with the heyday of hair m
EXTD=etal on the fourth. It's easy to  quibble about certain song sele
EXTD=ctions -- "Whiplash" may not be the first  Metallica song that co
EXTD=mes to mind, nor is "Shake Me" the first by Cinderella,  and ther
EXTD=e's no "Smoke on the Water" here (in fact, this whole box is  sur
EXTD=prisingly light on classic riffs) -- but this does have a good fl
EXTD=ow and tells  the story as well as a cross-licensed box set missi
EXTD=ng the biggest metal stars  can. The problem is when the compiler
EXTD=s decided to stop telling the story. This  stops cold in 1991, en
EXTD=ding with Sepultura's "Dead Embryonic Cells," which  arrived just
EXTD= a few months before Nirvana's Nevermind, the album that allegedl
EXTD=y  killed off metal in one fell swoop. By stopping here, Heavy Me
EXTD=tal reinforces  that dullest of rock clichs, one that's also not
EXTD= true because metal continued  to mutate when it wasn't at the to
EXTD=p of the charts and, in many ways, it thrived over the next 15  y
EXTD=ears. Discounting the lumpen rap-metal of Limp Bizkit, there were
EXTD= many  excellent bands tagged as metal -- anything from the alt-r
EXTD=ock of Rage Against  the Machine, Helmet, and Alice in Chains, to
EXTD= the legions of black metal, to the  stoner rock of Queens of the
EXTD= Stone Age, the Zappa-fied madness of System of a  Down, to the b
EXTD=listering intensity of Mastodon. Without these bands -- or bands 
EXTD= like them -- Heavy Metal not only feels incomplete, it feels lik
EXTD=e nostalgia,  suggesting that metal isn't alive, it's something f
EXTD=or the history books, when  the other four discs reveal how it al
EXTD=ways shifted and changed, never staying in  one place for too lon
EXTD=g. This is the rare box that should have been longer, but  even w
EXTD=ithout that fifth disc, Heavy Metal remains a strong accomplishme
EXTD=nt: it  tells the story of heavy metal, perhaps with its tongue j
EXTD=ust a little too firmly  in cheek, yet it nevertheless offers a u
EXTD=seful primer of the music's glory days.  -- Stephen Thomas Erlewi

EXTD= years  covered by the box that, "metal had come full circle to t
EXTD=he point where it was  simultaneously riven by so many new catego
EXTD=ries and subgenres that you needed an  encyclopedia to make sense
EXTD= of it all-and yet it was more universally popular  than ever bef

EXTD=no cornuta" devil horns salute), "first lady of metal" Lita Ford,
EXTD= Lars  Ulrich, metal radio godfather Eddie Trunk, UK journalist C
EXTD=hris Welch on metal and black magic and more. \n\nThe 70 tracks a

EXTD=1968 Iron  Butterfly anthem "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" and closes with

EXTD= States)\n\nFIRST THE NEGATIVES: \n\nI have to say something righ
EXTD=t off the bat because it really bugs me. How can you have a "HEAV
EXTD=Y METAL" boxset and not include OZZY ERA SABBATH? It's like havin
EXTD=g a  history of electric guitars and leaving out the Les Paul. Th
EXTD=e first few Black  Sabbath records layed the ground work for coun
EXTD=tless metal bands that came after.  It's really a major oversight
EXTD= in my opinion. That gets me thinking, where is Led  Zepplin? Whe
EXTD=re is AC/DC? Also they left off the BIGGEST "metal" band in the 8
EXTD=0's, Def Leppard. Now some of you will say Def Lep wasn't a Metal
EXTD= band  to you I say neither is POISON (gag me). Listen to "On thr
EXTD=u the Night" or "High  and Dry" that's Metal baby. \n\nGranted, I
EXTD= realize you can't please everyone but for the love of DIO this B
EXTD=oxset really leaves some gapping holes. \n\nNOW THE POSITIVES: \n
EXTD=\nOn the plus side it's really a nice looking package the box is 
EXTD=wicked cool and the booklet is really really nicely done. \n\n\nN
EXTD=ow I realize my review is not so much a review but a complaint bu
EXTD=t I really am disturbed that the original SABBATH was not repress

EXTD=per, Rush, Montrose, Iron Maiden, UFO, Ted Nugent and others. Uri
EXTD=ah  Heep's "Easy Livin'" is absolutely awesome. \n\nThe Bad: An e

EXTD=The Good: Lots. Great rock from Motorhead, Diamond Head, Mercyful
EXTD= Fate, Y&T, Priest, and Queensryche. Plus, Blitzkrieg and Rose Ta
EXTD=ttoo...YES YES YES!!! \n\nThe Bad: MSG's "Attack Of The Mad Axema
EXTD=n" is just awful. \n\nDISC 3 \n\nThe Good: Some really rockin' tr
EXTD=acks, like "Shake Me" by Cinderella (the best song AC/DC never ma
EXTD=de), "Wrecking Crew" by Overkill, and "Peace Sells" by  Megadeth.
EXTD= Ratt's "Round And Round has aged well, and tracks by Quiet Riot 
EXTD=and  Accept are wonderfully dumb. \n\nThe Bad: Dokken's "Into The
EXTD= Fire" is woefully tied to its time. Hanoi Rocks. And I could hav
EXTD=e done without Spinal Tap. \n\nDISC 4 \n\nThe Good: "Still Of The
EXTD= Night" by Whitesnake, which reaches almose Zeppelinesque heights
EXTD=. Great tracks by King Diamond, Great White, Living Colour, Pante
EXTD=ra, Metallica, and "Talk Dirty To Me" still  sounds pretty good. 
EXTD=Plus, Faster Pussycat's "Bathroom Wall" is hilarious. \n\nThe Bad
EXTD=: I could have done without Savatage, and Manowar is ridiculous. 
EXTD=\n\nTo sum up: If you like your music heavy and rockin', this is 
EXTD=a good set of songs. A few duds, but plenty of great tracks that 
EXTD=make it well worth the  purchase. \n\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REV
