Hard Rock Sleaze Glam AOR HEAVY
The ’80s sounding’ albums from YES are a different beasts from the band’s discography. ‘90125’ (1983) and ‘Big Generator’ (1987) are huge, bombastic. And there’s many reissues / remasters of both albums, and all sound different.
One of you asked for the best sounding YES “Big Generator” version. Well, if you prefer a quiet vinyl-like output try to get the Audio Fidelity CD AFZ releases, but if like a booming yet clear sound, none rivals this “Big Generator [Japan SHM-CD remastered +5]” pres

As requested, here’s in exclusive the really good sounding 2024 reissue of OVERKILL 1988’s third album “Under The Influence“, their second on major label Atlantic, which secured the band a major exposure and for many a solidified a place in the thrash metal pantheon alongside the ‘big four’ Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax.
Mixed by ‘the melodic hard rock guru’ of the ’80s Michael Wagener, “Under The Influence” is more commercial, accessible than previous OVERKILL records, still razor sharp and punchy like few. Musically, it’s matter of tastes; we really enjoy many well done thrash metal albums, and “Under The Influence” is one of them.
