Unloved by many at the time of its initial release 10th November 1981, that’s 45 years ago!!
It has since garbed cult status amongst KISS fans around the world.
We here at Albumsphere love it for its diversity and ambition.
Last weekend’s purchases. The 60’s Garage/Psyche of the Courettes brand new 7” single and the Prog goodness of the latest Steven Wilson opus.

Celebrating 40 years of Stryper’s platinum selling album ‘To Hell With The Devil’ featuring here the original album artwork and the later toned down CD cover.
Adiós a Saúl Blanch (Buenos Aires, 8 de septiembre de 1951-Buenos Aires, 21 de octubre de 2026), ex cantante de Plus y Rata Blanca.
Editado en octubre de 1988, el disco debut de Rata Blanca con Saúl en voces dio inicio a la carrera de una leyenda del heavy metal latinoamericano.
ABBA’s Arrival album released this day in 1976 in their native Sweden turned them into pretty much global superstars. Containing hits such as Money, Money, Money, Knowing Me, Knowing You and the immortal Dancing Queen.
Angel discography on CD (1975-1980).
The other Rock band on Casablanca Records with KISS.
Bold statement: our favorites may be the genre-defining Pomp Rock (Prog+AOR+Hard Rock) of the ST 1975 debut and the classy Power Pop of their original run last studio album, 1979's Sinful.
Slayer - Reign In Blood
Released 40 years ago on October 7, 1986.
The original, 29-minute long album was the most extreme, heaviest music ever recorded back then featuring deafening Angel Of Death & semi-title track Raining Blood. Seminal Thrash Metal and Death Metal trailblazer.

Hoy cumple 17 años Sonic Boom de KISS, editado el 6 de octubre de 2009. Un album especial para los Kisseros argentinos porque la edición de Walmart incluye, además de las regrabaciónes KISS Klassics, 6 temas en DVD grabados en Buenos Aires, Quilmes Rock, 5 de abril de 2009.
This is #my9albums, the sound that made me, Malc (one half of Albumsphere).
This is #my9albums, the sound that made me, Dave T. (one half of Albumsphere).
I had to include a separate picture for the Peter Frampton - Rise Up compilation that's not in the database.
Not the best albums, some of my favorites, but the albums that defined my tastes in music.

Riot - Narita
Released 47 years ago on October 5, 1979 in the US.
One of the heaviest albums of the 1970s decade featuring Guy Speranza's mighty vocals and Mark Reale's tasty licks on songs like the roaring Road Racin', the instrumental title track & Do It Up. NWOBHM from the US.
