Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Unless the band are either extremely brilliant at what they do such as Megadeth or Black Sabbath, they have an incredible loyal fan base that will buy everything from the merchandise site which will keep the interest at peak levels such as Iron Maiden or are just plain quirky enough to keep the fascination going from album to album such as…well only Helloween and Rammstein really springs to mind, then a Metal album can soon lose it shimmering beauty. It needs to be constantly updated, taken to different areas, Prog, Doom, Speed and so on to keep it fresh and attention-grabbing.
