I only have the title track, which just happens to be a stone cold funky classic. This would appear to be a remix, so one day I will have to get the album version. And the full album.
10/10
The Works - Queen
This is probably their most consistent album from the 80s. Mercury pushed his vocals so much on this album - you can hear him struggling in some parts and it really gives the songs a bit more emotion.
And Brian May's tone is absolute perfection on every song.
Highlights: Machines (Back to Human), Hammer to Fall, Radio Ga Ga, Is This The World We Created... ?
9/10
World Championship Wrestling - World Championship Wrestling
This is just a couple of random themes that should be with the other collections I have, I guess? I am kind of partial to the original intro for Thunder...
6/10
World Clique - Deee-Lite
This is only the single Groove Is In The Heart. Fun fact: on release, LOGMAN thought this song was terrible. 10 year-old LOGMAN did not understand that it is possibly the greatest dance song of the decade.
10/10
World Domination - BAND-MAID
This is just such classic hard rock, with a little bit of old school metal washing over it. It is all such a groove, it is hard to not find it enjoyable. And musically DICE is the greatest rock song on the planet, but the lyrics are so hilarious. But BAH GAWD the music and melody are amazing!
Highlights: DICE, Rock in Me, Spirit!!, Anemone, Daydreaming
7.5/10
WORLD GROOVE - TRF
Early 90s techno dance pop - almost similar to the music on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II & III soundtracks.
Highlights: WORLD GROOVE 3rd. chapter (main message), 私が望むもの…あなたが欲しいもの (Do what you want)～
6.5/10
A World of Pandemonium - the HIATUS
Crazy how much they toned things down after the first couple of albums - especially that second album. I thought it was connected to the earthquake/tsunami of 2012, but this album pre-dates that and was the start of the change in style.
Highlights: On Your Way Home, Superblock, Shimmer, Bittersweet/Hatching Mayflies
7.5/10
World Power - Snap!
More early 90s dance hip-hop kind of thing. I never really realised how lewd some of these lyrics are!
Highlights: The Power, Ooops Up, Mary Had a Little Boy
6.5/10
WWF Forceable Entry - Various Artists
I only have the mighty Whatever by Our Lady Peace. It is one of their angriest songs. It was also the entrance theme for a man that went on to murder his family and himself, so... Whatever?
10/10
X is for X. I do not make the rules...
X-TV Series - Various Artists
Bah gawd! I am no expert on anime, but this show is easily one of the best I have ever seen. Death and destruction everywhere. And the music is very fitting; the intro song is super badass dance rock and the score itself is just all round EPIC. And then the outro song is so completely different in terms of style - like a very standard late 90s/early 00s J-Pop song.
Highlights: eX Dream - Myuji, Destiny - Naoki Sato, Secret Sorrow - Kohei Koizumi, A Suite (Dragons of Heaven) - Naoki Sato
7.5/10
X-TV Series II - Various Artists
They just mean the second soundtrack, because there is no Series II of X. Because everyone gets murdered or maimed! I need to watch it again.
Highlights: A Suite (Dragons of Earth) - Naoki Sato, Strength - Kohei Koizumi, eX Dream [TV Edit] - Myuji, Crystal - Kenichi Suzumura
7/10
X&Y - Coldplay
This is where they really became a modern version of U2. I do not like U2.
Highlights: White Shadows, Square One, Fix You
6.5/10
XL - Resorte
Angry Mexican nu-metal! Very much luchador entrance music - which may or may not be how I discovered this album in the first place...
Highlights: Aqui No Es Donde, Hijos De La Bonga, Bastara, Caliente
7/10
Xpectation - Prince
Instrumental jams - somewhat jazzy, mostly funky. There is even a jazz flute solo. And a whole lot of funky guitar.
Highlights: Xpedition, Xogenous, Xpectation, Xosphere
7/10
XX, Vol. 1 (20 Aastat Meteoriitide Sajus) - Smilers
I only have the song Sellel Ööl. Speaking of luchador entrance music... Please welcome the Estonian Thunderfrog! I have not heard this in years - probably since he was brutally murdered by that thing trying to destroy Chikara. That was awful. I am going to revisit Chikara once I finish with WCW in 2001 2026.
