you're all idiots
godamnit if i was to clarify the divide of what albums or bands should've made it into the book, or wheter punk,grunge, zeppelin,tull or hendrix belong in a book about heavy metal(they do by the way). anyhoo the strange uneven results are what make this book imteresting. the eighties are dominant as are maiden metallica and the sabs, but the process was determined democratically(we can't prove ...

More Metal
Popoff again delivers with his latest guide. I have read enough critques of his past works to point out that Popoff clearly views his guides as his opinions. Considering he has listened to all of these selections and seems to be able the nail the good and the bad of most bands, I found this another accessable and usable piece of writing. Highly recommended as an excellent source for Metal ...

Martin Popoff, I love you.
Martin Popoff is the only kind of writer or reviewer worth a damn -- the kind with a writing style all his own, and opinions out the a$$. You will either love him or hate him, and I for one think he's one of the best descriptive writers ever produced by the human race. I read his reviews whenever I'm about to do some writing of my own, in the vain hope that he'll rub off on me. He knows more ...

Finally! Something for the "headbanger" collector
This book is perfect for those who simply have an interest or the hard-core collector of rock and roll's wicked stepchild, Heavy metal. Loads of photos, bios, and assorted gems, this takes some of the guess work out of ammassing one's collection. The only complaint I could possibly offer is that there needs to be more concentration on the newer sub-genres of Heavy metal (black metal, death ...

Ecw Press, 2004

a great retrospective
"Contents Under Pressure", is a good book for the long time Rush fan who has fond memories of early Rush shows. The photography brought me back to certain eras of the long and illustrious career of one of the truly entertaining bands in the history of rock and roll. It also serves as an insight to the band for the recent Rush fan who may be interested in learning more about the journey that has ...

Blue Oyster Cult: Secrets Revealed!

Martin Popoff

Metal Blade Records, 2004

essential for fans
Considering the considerable intrigue and mystery surrounding the band and the imaginative mythos hinted to in their cryptic lyrics, this book is an essential piece of history for BOC fans. Sure, the production values are unpolished (blurry, small print and a few typos and unedited textual errors), but you won't find anything else more chock-full of useful and not-so-useful trivia and ...

Martin knows his shit
This guide continues where the seventies left off, I have the original CGTHM and through that I found some great bands I being 25 years old would have never heard. Martin tells it like it is and sometimes I disagree but he's never to far off. He tells you exactly what you need to if your a metalhead, "great for hanging out with some cold ones ,or a car deck classic," and when he gives something a ...

he Concept: Detailed examination of early hard rock albums, many lost to the sands of time, some merely in need of a celebratory re-visit. Primarily through the use of new, exhaustive interviews with the band members who were there - the focus being on one classic album - Martin meticulously pieces together the complete story of each album, lending his respected critical eye to the record, massaging in bucket loads of trivia previously ...

excellent, highly useful hodgepodge of heavy metal info
Martin Popoff established himself as a writer of acerbic wit and tremendous knowledge with his collector's guide to heavy metal. That book and its three-thousand-plus reviews is a mammoth testament to his energy as well as the genre's amazing invention and staying power. For this outing, Popoff gives what I see as a survey course in Heavy Metal History, utilizing the more "objective" standpoint ...
