Saxon ‎– Metalhead CD PROMO

Their CD "Metalhead" follows in that vein(as if the title didn't give you a clue!) as it offers 11 tracks of thundering chords and blazing solos. But, as heavy as it is, I have to say this does not pack the punch of Saxon live. The record is excellently recorded and played but often it plods along in sort of a mid-paced groove, with many songs sounding fairly similar in approach. It's certainly not a bad album but I wish it could capture the intensity of the live show. Even the tracks from "Metalhead" were transformed into monsters on stage.

For all those who hold true metal dear, I recommend "Metalhead". Just do not expect a classic in the vein of past Saxon efforts like "Strong Arm of the Law", "Wheels of Steel" or "Denim and Leather".
