Iron Maidenโs Senjutsu earns an 8/10 from a loyal fan who praises Bruce Dickinsonโs vocals and the fresh sound of โThe Writing on the Wall,โ but criticizes the albumโs dragging length, flat production, and familiar formulas.
Metallicaโs 72 Seasons may not reinvent thrash, but it refines it with maturity and muscle. With Greg Fidelmanโs production and standout tracks like โInamorata,โ the band delivers their strongest album since Death Magnetic.
MoFiโs 45rpm reissue of Jeff Beckโs Truth delivers seismic bass and analogue warmth that outshines many rock classics; released just before Zepโs debut, it remains a blues-rock benchmark for sound and influence.
MoFiโs 40th anniversary One-Step reissue of Michael Jacksonโs Thriller stuns with unmatched clarity, staging, and vocal presenceโso revelatory it feels like a remix, yet itโs the original master unveiled as never before.
