For Those Who Love To

Cover	Name	~~Description/Review~~	Rating
	Metallica Master of Puppets	Rock/Thrash Metal "Master of Puppets" explores the triumph and self-loathing of those who abuse their power. If all you've heard of Metallica is what's been on the radio recently, check this one out. You're in for a surprise. --Genevieve Williams	*****
	AC/DC Back In Black	Rock/Metal As Scott's replacement Brian Johnson reminds us, loud and crunchy, no-holds-barred "rock and roll ain't noise pollution...it makes good, good sense." Never trust anyone who refuses to drink domestic beer, laugh at the Three Stooges, or crank Back in Black. --David Cantwell	*****
	Black Sabbath Heaven & Hell	Rock/Metal Faster and more theatrical than Sabbath's earlier oeuvre, Heaven and Hell features the dynamic seven-minute title track, which builds from a lazy throb to a high-octane roar, and the dynamic "Die Young," which segues from an uptempo saunter to a flamboyant midsection strangely reminiscent of Queen.--Jon Wiederhorn	****/
	Van Halen VAN HALEN	Rock At least half of the songs on Van Halen's eponymous 1978 debut are still considered classics, and the Eddie Van Halen instrumental "Eruption" revolutionized the guitar community by introducing a technique called finger-tapping into the heavy metal lexicon.	*****
	Def Leppard Hysteria	Rock Probably Def Leppard's best album, and certainly their most successful, Hysteria pretty much sums up 80s hard rock: catchy, tuneful, and fun. It's also one of the few albums from the period that doesn't sound dated now, and singles like "Pour Some Sugar On Me", "Armageddon It", and "Rocket" remain staples of rock radio. --Genevieve Williams	*****
	Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet (Remastered)	Rock/Pop The best material on Slippery When Wet is anthemic; "Livin' on a Prayer" and "Wanted Dead or Alive" were major hits. Love (and anti-love) songs are another important staple on this album: "You Give Love a Bad Name" (another hit), "Never Say Goodbye," and "I'd Die for You" feature prominently.--Genevieve Williams	****/
