Maybe not their best but a solid ║ │ │║ sample of 80's Heavy Metal and with great songs ║ │ │║ like Bangin' Off-a-the Bricks, Don't Touch The ║ │ │║ Merchandise or the power ballad Deep Cut The ║ │ │║ Night ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ From Amazon.com ║ │ │║ In 1985 we were in the nearing the heyday of the ║ │ │║ "hair band" era with a new (quote un quote) ║ │ │║ 'metal' band coming out every 45 seconds or so ║ │ │║ on MTV. Quietly in the middle of all this ║ │ │║ mediocrity came from the Great White North of ║ │ │║ Canada a serious band that could really PLAY! ║ │ │║ Wow, now there's a novel idea...a rock n' roll ║ │ │║ 'heavy metal' band that had real musical ability ║ │ │║ instead of glammor-boy/girl looks and lots of ║ │ │║ stupid clothes. These guys had the hair and ║ │ │║ all...but they were far from glammy. ║ │ │║ True, Helix first rocked the world a couple ║ │ │║ years earlier on the excellent "No Rest For The ║ │ │║ Wicked" (album) CD, but I believe they put all ║ │ │║ the pieces together just right on 85's "Long Way ║ │ │║ To Heaven." The music is just excellent, yet ║ │ │║ admittedly simple, rock n' roll that pulls few ║ │ │║ punches and is fun as hell to listen to. Every ║ │ │║ song on this steller album stands on its own ║ │ │║ merits and it's just too bad that Helix never ║ │ │║ got the press or radio (over)exposure that ║ │ │║ lesser-talented bands like Def Leppard, Poison, ║ │ │║ or Warrant got. ║ │ │║ Helix was a band that was cool to like because ║ │ │║ they weren't over-commercialized pretty boys ║ │ │║ that were short on talent and ridiculously long ║ │ │║ (or high) on hair. If the hair band era would ║ │ │║ have been more about musicianship and good music ║ │ │║ instead of image and mascara and spandex, it ║ │ │║ wouldn't have the rep it does today. Helix was ║ │ │║ firing on all cylinders on this one and it's ║ │ │║ certainly worth picking up by any true fan of ║ │ │║ rock n' roll. And you can play LOUD and very ║ │ │║ PROUD!s ║ │ │║ HELIX WAS ONE OF THE BEST, AND MOST UNDERATED, ║ │ │║ BANDS OF THE 80'S. Too bad, because they could ║ │ │║ actually PLAY! ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │║ ║ │ │╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │╔═════════════════════╗ │ │║ Release Tracklist ║ │ │╚═════════════════════╩══════════════════════════════════════════ │ │ │ │ 01 - The Kids Are All Shakin' [03:48] │ │ 02 - Deep Cuts The Knife [04:00] │ │ 03 - Ride The Rocket [03:19] │ │ 04 - Long Way To Heaven [03:33] │ │ 05 - House On Fire [04:13] │ │ 06 - Christine [03:31] │ │ 07 - Without You (Jasmine's Song) [03:39] │ │ 08 - School Of Hard Knocks [04:01] │ │ 09 - Don't Touch The Merchandise [02:47] │ │ 10 - Bangin' Off-A The Bricks [03:15] │ │ │ │ Total Length : [36:06 minn │ │ │ │ │ │ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ╔═════════════════════╗ │ │ ║ Greetings To: ║ │ │ ╚═════════════════════╝ │ │ │ │ Too all people who contributes to make this │ │ archive of good music in a exceptional conditions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │■ ■│ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
