you spin me round

Edition Eight of MetalTalk's new album review radio show, You Spin Me Round, is available on our On Demand page now.

Here's the running order:

Part 1:



1. Orphaned Land: From Orpheus (single) (Century Media) reviewed by Liz Medhurst

"As a stand alone track, 'Like Orpheus' is brilliant, in the context of the album it is breath-taking."

2. Downes Braid Association: Skyscraper Souls (X2X Records / Cherry Red) reviewed by Andy Rawll
Tracks:
Prelude
Angel on Your Shoulder
Lighthouse

"Hot pop, jumping prog, this album thrilled MetalTalk's radio stars. A modern progressive pop album to savour."

Additional Track: The Bad Flowers: Thunder Child

3. The Cherry Dolls: Viva La Dolls (Golden Robot Records) reviewed by Johnny Main
Tracks:
Begging You Please
Bottom Of The Well
Blister

"Best described as a rock album with a punky edge, there are no fancy gimmicks here, just driving guitar and heavy drums with the vocals very loud in the mix - and I have to say that it's not half bad."

4. Pink Cream 69: Headstrong (Frontiers) reviewed by Brian Boyle
Tracks:
Walls Come Down
Path Of Destiny
Man of Sorrow

"Packed with addictive hooks and towering vocals expertly produced by their long-serving bass player Dennis Ward."

Additional Tracks:
Megaherz : Vorhang Auf
Halford: Winter Song

Part 2:



Intro Track: Ronnie James Dio/Tony Iommi: God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman

1. Absolva: Defiance (Rocksector Records) reviewed by Steve Göldby
Tracks:
Defiance
Reflection
Never Back Down (Acoustic)

"A proper band who love what they do, and the quality never diminishes. I have no idea how Chris (Appleton) keeps coming up with great Metal tunes over and over again."

Additional Track: Escape The Fate: I Am Human

2. Antoine's Legacy: Antoine's Legacy (Sacred Recordings) reviewed by Andy Rawll
Tracks:
Sacred
As The Moon Shatters

"There's depth, dynamics and melody in abundance that elevates the songs from the norm. Overall, it's a symphonic prog Metal treat that deserves a broad audience."

3. Asking Alexandria: Asking Alexandria (Sumerian Records) reviewed by Liz Medhurst
Tracks:
Into The Fire
Rise Up

"The overall style is Arena rock, full-on anthems, they haven't gone home, they've gone bigger. It suits them, there's nothing here that sounds contrived."

4. Outlaws and Moonshine: Devil In The Moonshine (Sumerian Records) reviewed by Johnny Main
Tracks:
Here Comes Bobby
Cootie Brown

"If you’re a fan of Southern Rock at all, then this album needs to be in your CD collection"

Additional Track: Leaves Eyes: Sign Of The Dragonhead
