I use my iPhone to listen to my CD rips. (I have a 1tb drive, and mainly listen to FLAC files) I agree with everything you say about current remasters. A lot of the time they are very loud and it’s very draining to listen to. Most of my collection is original first pressings (a good hint is to check the CD for an AAD code, those sound excellent), with the exception of my Black Sabbath collection, some random pickups I find for a good price, or modern releases. If it’s not original, it’s mainly because the CD is an expanded edition containing cut tracks or outtakes. I’m very big on that so that’s really my only exception. I use streaming for music discovery, and I if like the album, I search up the best sounding version based on reception online, and then hunt it down. And a physical media collection gives you a sense of connection a digital library never will.

Looking forward to this. Very underrated artist/band. Visual Lies is a great album but Master of Disguise is his tour de force- a real masterpiece.

That one should be in a museum. ;)

Good points John, anything that separates us from our stupid phones is a great idea 💡 👍

I've never had an iPod before but yesterday I bought a 3rd gen. I will try to get that to work but I'm also considering buying a 7th gen. The like the idea of a single purpose device and trying to leave my iPhone at home more often.

Lizzy Borden doesn't get talked about enough. Great talk!

As someone who became a metal-head in 1983/4 because of a handful of amazing albums, the two main dissapointments of all-time, to me, are Theatre of Pain and Hysteria. Both came after two of the greatest albums of all-time, in my opinion and lacked the punch-to-the-nuts ferocity and brilliance of their predecessors. Love the Erase the Slate mention, one of the greatest "modern" era heavy metal albums.

the vocals , the " wall " of sound and " restrictive " song structure , this poser attitude of how black , how heavy , how more metal we are than other metal ,

Para mi la portada del invasion es de las mad iconicas de mi discografia,me impacto en la epoca....siempre me pregunté que cara tendria la chica de la portada pues la figura como fisico me encantaba... ,y cuarenta años despues se la puse al enterarme de que era la entonces novia del guitarrista de ratt y la que fue esposa de Coverdale tawny kitaen....invasion of yout privacy para mi es el disco clave de Ratt.recuerdo que lo compre en cassette..😅😅

Anything that gets you away from your super computer/tracking device (it´s NOT a phone) can only be a good thing. My iPod is 160 gig like yours and I never use anything else when I´m out. Not convinced listening to music on a wifi connection is too good for you either.......

You didn’t think Runnin’ With The Devil was particularly heavy, Martin????????? WOW. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

I still use an Ipod Nano. Why? One reason is the second mentioned here. Removes me from my phone. I can workout, go on walks or whatever and not have my phone with me. I can focus on the music and while it's more "work" than just having a phone with Spotify or something. I enjoy the work. I still like buying CD's. I still transfer them. I like having a separate thing from my phone so if my phone is lost/broken.. It's not as big of a deal (if I still reach music the same way I don't need a phone like many others seem to do). I also delete all albums and transfer others all the time. This not to get bored with albums and give others a chance. How many doesn't listen to Spotify and just play hit singels or totally forget certain albums? I like the limitation and it keps me more awake in my listening habits. I will actually order a used one right now. If you get a hold of them. They cost next to nothing. Who wants to steal them? Sell on E-bay for like 2 dollars. It's not worth the hustle!

I still use a MP3 player daily . Have a crap ton of albums on it ,

Oh hell yeah! Got a bunch of 'em in fact. I'm by no means an Apple fanboy of any sort, but you can't not agree that they really nailed it with the older iPods. (iPod Touches don't count, they're more like iPhone Lite 😁) The first and likely last Apple devices I'm buying. My main one started out as an 80GB 5th gen, now modded with a big-ass battery and original hard drive swapped out for flash storage (416GB total; 3x128GB + one 32GB micro SDs). Battery lasts for ages per charge and fits my entire digital music library, with ample room still to spare. Feels comfy, man.

You don't need internet connection to use an ipod

Great band. Visual Lies is my favorite

I added a memory card on me phone and then I have ripped dozens and doezens of CDs on it, I agree it allows for me direct listening.

I have a 512gb 7th Gen iPod classic that I use every day! I have over 36k songs loaded now and room for a lot more. I've loaded 320kbs versions of all of the songs and it sounds amazing. I hook it up to my PA in my garage and my wife hooks up her phone to another channel and the iPod crushes her for sound quality.

I do the same man! Have been fortunate enough to grab up original cd pressings of so many metal classics, the dynamic range issue needs to be brought up way more in the mainstream demand labels when they reissue classic albums keep the original mastering or special editions with the original masterings

Does the music sound the same as on the cd after u transfer to ipod from a computer. I thought the computer turns the file into mp3.

Definitely diggin the "original release" moment. Back then, i thought CD audio would be everywhere, but then we got 128kbps mp3, lol. I'd too like to leave the ifone at home, but cellular network on AW is not suported locally. Also, Apple wont allow third-party chat apps to have phone calls, only allows basic cellular calls. Hate that, nobody uses phone calls with friends

It’s a 6th gen ser

My Samsung phone has 1TB storage. I just put files on that. Works for me.

Not sure how to message you... Have you ever reviewed or discussed the albulm heaven and hell better the devil you know?

Great show on an awesome underrated band. Loved all the early 80s Lizzy albums

Johnny old school

All my iPods died. I bet I’ve had 6 classics. I have a Fiio now and I love it and I love the fact I get a TB of space on it.

Yes I always use my iPod and always have

So ok my iPod story is I had a Bose iPod dock with a pretty good sound that stopped working last year. Then I bought a 23 Nissan and even though the sales person said that my iPod would connect to the USB she failed to mention that it doesn’t recognize iPod’s anymore. So I do have one and so wish I could use it. Especially I believe the iPod has a better sound than the iPhone. So sadly I have no way of playing it anymore 😡

I do don’t have my iPod anymore but I do have all 3712 songs ripped and burned from my cds in my Apple music on my iPhone originally from my iPod .. everything from Coltrane to Slayer to Gram Parsons to Muddy Waters to Husker Du always on shuffle .. but yea your right I still get distracted with RUclips and other personal playlist on Spotify.. but good thing is I don’t even touch facebook, Instagram or TickTock.. never been there or maybe some exceptions but generally I am not on social media

I can’t find my one, after I lost it at home I started using my iPhone.

I still have 2 Ipod classics I use on a regular basis

I still use mine on a daily basis. I've had the same playlist (7500 songs) for 10 years so I'm close to finishing a 10,000 song playlist and that'll be ready in about 2 weeks. Nothing but metal and no duplications.

He was

Well done. Informative and helpful review.

i gave it 4,5 stars a very good album , only draw back is ian is not sounding that great anymore much better than whoosh tho, simon mcbride brought much needed new energy to the band the band is very tight on this album

The best Brian Johnson era AC/DC album IMO. Hail!!!

I’ve never listened to them but I will check them out now. Thank you 🤘

Fezes

It's their best since "Purpendicular".

What a great album. It's the most instantly likeable release from Purple since Perfect Strangers. Simon McBride was a perfect choice.

I like it has more organ and synth sounds that were missing on their later albums.

Definitely not the best since Perfect Strangers. Slaves of Masters, Battle Rages On and Purpendicular are much better. To me atleast. But I like the new album, glad its there, wasn't expecting it.

Dehumanizer to Cross Purposes. Almost perfect 1992 album to 3 duff tracks of CP. I still feel the same about it to this day. Like all the Cheap Trick albums from 1976-1985. The trouble began w/ the Doctor. Awful album and the next 3 equally as bad. It’s lead to me not buying any Trick product since the ‘94 album. Funny thing is they’ve released lots of albums since then. Are any of those albums good? Purpendicular to Abandon.

Watching this in the early am here in NY and love the opinions !! I feel we are all the same .. you can name a album that’s a disappointment and still like stuff off of it!! Love this!! I agree with all of your picks!!

Such an underrated band. Maybe their 'shtick' caused people not to take their music seriously. You're so right about the musicians, very talented. I know you focused on these 3 albums, but Deal With The Devil and Appointment With Death are quite heavier. My Midnight Things went back to a polished sound though. American Metal 'Live' is on my 4th of July playlist, lol.

Very underrated band. Should have had a lot more success. Great video guys🤘🏻

Wow they were definitely one my favs. back in day along with the classic metal blade era bands.

Vito Bratta is the most soulful and melodic from the Glam era

Loved 'Love You To Pieces' to pieces. 'Save Me' was my jam.
