The seventh full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock band.
The first of four albums to be recorded with lead singer Sammy Hagar (former Montrose singer), who replaced David Lee Roth. The album named after Eddie Van Halen's home studio, 5150, in turn named after a California law enforcement term for a mentally disturbed person (a reference to Section 5150 of the California Welfare and Institutions Code).
"5150" was notable for a number of love songs and ballads, a contrast of the straightforward Rock stylings of the Roth era. Despite the controversy of replacing Roth, the album was band's first to top the Billboard 200. The album hit number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, surpassing the band's previous album, "1984", which had peaked at number 2 behind Michael Jackson's "Thriller" album, on which Eddie Van Halen made a guest appearance. It was also Hagar's first #1, as stated by him on the "Live Without A Net" concert video. Album opener, "Good Enough", can be heard in the movie "Spaceballs".
Even with a new singer fronting the band and a new proclivity for synthesized sounds, Van Halen showed themselves ready as ever to turn up the amps and let it fly. "5150" was a party on a platter, as any Van Halen record should be!

The fifth full-length studio album by legendary American Hard Rock band.
Released per the label's request that the band record an album to keep them in the public eye, "Diver Down" was recorded with producer Ted Templeman over the course of twelve days. As a result of its quick production, the album is heavy on cover versions as well as genre experiments and guitar interludes. Alongside full-length original songs, the material includes excursions into Jazz, Country Blues, Doo-wop, a Cappella and Neoclassical music, in addition to covers of mid-1960s songs – the biggest of these, reworkings of Roy Orbison's "(Oh) Pretty Woman" and Martha & The Vandellas' "Dancing in the Street", were Hit Singles.
"Diver Down" spent 65 weeks on the album chart in the United States and sold four million copies in the United States by 1998. Despite the album got commercial success, selling faster than its predecessor "Fair Warning" (1981), it was less lukewarmly received by music critics. In 2022, "Diver Down" was ranked at number three in Guitar World's list of "The 25 Greatest Rock Guitar Albums of 1982".

American edition of the debut full-length album by the cult German Hard ‘n’ Heavy band.
Victory was a band that should have become a household name in the United States but just never quite made it to the top. Even though they had a great career in Europe, the audience in the U.S.A. was never quite as accepting.
After releasing their successful self-titled debut album in 1985, they came back even stronger with “Don’t Get Mad… Get Even” and released the single “The Check’s in the Mail”. The song immediately charted and became a huge radio hit and the future looked bright for this band full of talented musicians.
Consisting of Herman Frank (Accept) on guitar, Charlie Huhn on vocals, Tommy Newton on guitar, Peter Knorn on bass, and Fritz Randow on drums, Victory proved to be as formidable as anyone on the circuit.
It’s still a mystery why this band is not mentioned alongside some of the mainstays of the “hair band” time period. If you were one of the fans who got “on board” back in the 80’s, you know what to expect with this re-release! If you are new to Victory and “Don’t Get Mad… Get Even”, you are in for a surprise, as this hard-edged, 80’s style Rock 'n' Roll will be an easy listen!!

The third full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
The band's first album to feature singer and bandleader Blackie Lawless playing guitar, having switched from bass to rhythm guitar. While Lawless was the band's main leader and songwriter from the beginning, he had even more of a say in the musical direction by switching to rhythm guitar from bass when original guitarist Randy Piper exited the band (ex-King Kobra member Johnny Rod joined on bass).
Blackie Lawless launched W.A.S.P. on the unsuspecting world in 1983 and before long tales of their outrageous music and intense stage shows were legendary. By the time, W.A.S.P. released their third studio album, "Inside The Electric Circus", in 1986, their none-more-decadent drive towards world domination was surging forward at full power. Travelling the world and behaving in the most debauched Rock'n'Roll manner imaginable and as a result, their lives had turned into an insane and unreal travelling circus, and thus the title for the band's third full-length was born.
The album contains the vicious, raging power they had become known for, with tracks "9.5 - N.A.S.T.Y." and "Shoot From the Hip", and also a display of their matured and thoughtful side. Covers of Humble Pie's "I Don't Need No Doctor" and Uriah Heep's "Easy Livin'" proved there was more to W.A.S.P.'s classic LA Metal sound, and the monumental "Restless Gypsy" and anthemic "The Rock Rolls On" added accessibility to their sound without sacrificing one iota of attitude or aggression.
"Inside The Electric Circus" reached No. 60 on the US Billboard 200 chart, where it remained for 19 weeks.
The creative pinnacle from W.A.S.P.'s early years!

The fourth full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
The last album W.A.S.P. released before their temporary breakup in 1990, only to reunite two years later for "The Crimson Idol" (1992). "The Headless Children" was the first W.A.S.P. album to feature ex-Quiet Riot drummer Frankie Banali and the last studio album to feature guitarist Chris Holmes for six years until he rejoined the band in late 1995 to record "Kill Fuck Die". This is also the band's last album to feature bassist Johnny Rod. In 1990, following departures of Holmes and Rod, W.A.S.P. decided to call it quits, but resurfaced about a year later, with only lead singer/bassist Blackie Lawless and Banali remaining; this was because their next album, "The Crimson Idol", was originally intended to be a solo album by Lawless, until he agreed to release it under the W.A.S.P. name.
"The Headless Children" showcases a new level of maturity from the band compared to their previous three albums, which had stereotypically lewd "Rock and Roll" lyrics. Politics and social issues are now a theme throughout the album. With the band concentrating more on the music than the gimmicks (they were pictured sans ghoulish makeup and costumes), "The Headless Children" remains W.A.S.P.'s most accomplished work. The album's best-known tracks remain their cover of the Who's "Quadrophenia" anthem "The Real Me" and the rocking "Mean Man" (an autobiographical tale about guitarist Holmes), while a pair of epics ("The Heretic" and the title track) and perhaps W.A.S.P.'s best ballad, "Forever Free," were also standouts. While long-time fans may prefer the gross-out Heavy Metal of their early albums ("W.A.S.P." and "The Last Command"), "The Headless Children" is their most well-constructed album.
The album reached No. 48 on the US Billboard 200 chart, the band's highest chart position, and remained on that chart for 13 weeks.

The second full-length studio album by legendary American Heavy/Glam Metal band.
On W.A.S.P.'s sophomore effort the band hired Quiet Riot producer Spencer Proffer to man the boards, resulting in a slightly more accessible sound than their rugged self-titled debut. Although the album wasn't the massive commercial breakthrough the band had hoped for, it resulted in their second Gold-certified release in a row as they became one of the more popular Metal bands of the mid-'80s (touring heavily with the likes of Kiss, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden). Blackie Lawless' lyrics still relied heavily on sexual fantasies ("Sex Drive"), as well as tales of revenge ("Ballcrusher", "Jack Action"), and children of the street ("Running Wild in the Streets").
The album's two singles/videos proved popular on MTV's Heavy Metal-oriented shows - the party-hearty "Blind in Texas" and "Wild Child", the latter a tale of a Harley-riding free spirit.
The album made No. 47 on Billboard's top 200 album chart in early 1986. It also sold over 1000000 copies.

The third full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
With Doro at the helm, Warlock put forth an interesting variation on the Sleaze/Glam Metal sound with a fair share of Judas Priest and Accept influences to boot. They started more concentrated upon the riff-oriented style the previous mentioned bands exhibited and didn’t spend too much time trying to write epic sounding ballads or lighter edged rock songs. On this release band began evolving their sound slightly away from that style and towards something a bit more mainstream. “True as Steel” is sort of a mixture of older guard aggressive Heavy Metal and the Glam style that was really growing in prominence at this point in the 80s. You can hear bits and pieces of Dokken, Quiet Riot, and even a little bit of early Riot (pre-Thundersteel). There is a larger emphasis on sing along choruses, much as is the case on the next release “Triumph and Agony”. It still, however, holds onto a good deal of the Speed Metal elements that were heard on “Burning the Witches” and the very heavy “Hellbound”. The resulting mix of styles is a very interesting listen.
This album has their first success outside of Europe, the single "Fight for Rock" charted on Billboard, and the music video for this song was aired on MTV's Headbangers Ball.

The third full-length studio album by legendary German Heavy Metal band.
With Doro at the helm, Warlock put forth an interesting variation on the Sleaze/Glam Metal sound with a fair share of Judas Priest and Accept influences to boot. They started more concentrated upon the riff-oriented style the previous mentioned bands exhibited and didn’t spend too much time trying to write epic sounding ballads or lighter edged rock songs. On this release band began evolving their sound slightly away from that style and towards something a bit more mainstream. “True as Steel” is sort of a mixture of older guard aggressive Heavy Metal and the Glam style that was really growing in prominence at this point in the 80s. You can hear bits and pieces of Dokken, Quiet Riot, and even a little bit of early Riot (pre-Thundersteel). There is a larger emphasis on sing along choruses, much as is the case on the next release “Triumph and Agony”. It still, however, holds onto a good deal of the Speed Metal elements that were heard on “Burning the Witches” and the very heavy “Hellbound”. The resulting mix of styles is a very interesting listen.
This album has their first success outside of Europe, the single "Fight for Rock" charted on Billboard, and the music video for this song was aired on MTV's Headbangers Ball.
