Last year, I posted a review of "It’s Christmas All Over" and (spoiler alert) I liked it. Towards the end of my review, I say: 'If subsequent Christmas albums from the Goo Goo Dolls have more tracks like "You Ain’t Getting Nothin'" then I’d be in like Santa!' While they haven't given us a new … Continue reading Album Review: Goo Goo Dolls – It’s Christmas All Over (Deluxe)

David discovered rock music as a young, skinny, hairy teenager. He is still listening to it umpteen years later even though he is now old fat and baldy. The first album he bought was by The Wombles but try not to hold that against him.
Album Review: Ye Banished Privateers – A Pirate Stole My Christmas
I make no secret of my love of Christmas music; I'm sure I've mentioned before that (according to iTunes) I have 5.2 days of Christmas music. But, I have nothing, not one thing, even remotely like A Pirate Stole My Christmas!

Not for the Better Noise Music label who chose to release their first ever … Continue reading Album Review: Christmas With Better Noise Music
Album Review: Rush – Permanent Waves (40th Anniversary Edition)
Part of me still finds it hard to believe that there will never be a new Rush album. But, while there may be no new songs, it is heartening to hear that there are still recordings that have not yet seen the light of day. The Permanent Waves (40th Anniversary edition) is therefore doubly welcome … Continue reading Album Review: Rush – Permanent Waves (40th Anniversary Edition)
Album Review: Wishbone Ash – Coat Of Arms
Wishbone Ash have been around for a long time (they formed in 1969 when this reviewer was still in short trousers), have been through umpteen lineup changes (Wikipedia lists the four current members plus another seventeen that have been associated with the band at some point) and have produced music that covers a multitude of … Continue reading Album Review: Wishbone Ash – Coat Of Arms
