Def Leppard - Hysteria
|
| Stellar performance by Gods of Hair Metal... |
|
|
Def Leppard's "Hysteria" was a stunning achievement, and without a doubt the pinnacle of the band's career. With 5 tracks from the album having videos created for them on MTV, it is easy to overlook some of the other tracks on the album. Make no mistake: even the less popular songs like the anti-war anthem Gods of War, Don't Shoot Shotgun, and the speed hair metalRun Riot are quality songs worthy of listening to, even today. With the band's following release "Adrenalize," and the untimely death of guitarist Steve Clark, (along with the rise of grunge rock in popularity) a decline was pretty much inevitable. Nonetheless, this album is outstanding as an exemplar of late '80s excess, hair metal, and superb song craftsmanship.

Michael Jackson - Thriller
|
| The pinnacle of Michael Jackson's career... |
|
|
"Thriller" was (by any standard) a dream team compilation of talented artists working together. First, you have Michael Jackson, coming off his highly successful release "Off the Wall." Add the talent of Eddie Van Halen at the height of his career, performing guitar on Beat It, ex-Beatle Paul McCartney contributing to The Girl Is Mine, and Quincy Jones producing the entire effort, and you have the makings of a truly special album. Even when performing mostly solo, MJ's singing and dancing talent more than carried him; videos for Thriller and Billie Jean remain classics from an era when MTV still played videos. Accordingly, it should come as no surprise that "Thriller" remains the best-selling album of all time, and which also earned Jackson the moniker King of Pop, long before his personal issues and discomfort with fame led to his eventual implosion as a star. Very Highly Recommended.

Rush - Presto
|
| Rush goes back to basics... |
|
|
"Presto" marked the beginning of Rush's return to guitar-driven rock, in keeping with the hair metal (and later, alternative) trend of the time, with producer Rupert Hine. This release has a theme which focuses heavily on magic, and the illusions that society frequently accepts as reality. Standout tracks in this regard include Show Don't Tell and Superconductor, as well as the title track. The Pass deals powerfully with the subject of suicide, while Red Tide deals with environmental concerns (much as "Grace Under Pressure"'s Distant Early Warning did). The magic of Rush is still in full evidence with this release, as it would also be for their next album, "Roll The Bones" (which deals more with the themes of luck and chance). However, all luck eventually changes, and later Rush releases would have a more alternative sound, as well as be affected by personal events in the lives of the band members.

Rush - Hold Your Fire
|
| Another fine Rush New Wave release... |
|
|
"Hold Your Fire" marks Rush's final foray into the realm of synth-driven rock. There is a nice collaboration with Aimee Mann (of the group 'Til Tuesday) on the biggest hit of the album, Time Stand Still, which (along with Turn The Page) deals with the passage of time. Eastern influences on the band's music (which first appeared on "Power Windows"' Mystic Rhythms) continue with Tai Shan, which (along with High Water and Force Ten) consider the power in nature. Social concerns continue in a point-counterpoint way with tracks like Open Secrets, Lock and Key, and Second Nature while inspiration is covered in Mission and Prime Mover. A well-conceived and executed release, which probably left some longtime fans wondering "This is what Rush has become?" Not so fast guys-- hold your fire. Rush would be back and hard rocking with their next album, "Presto."
