Anthem - Immortal (2006) review/ulasan

I'll type in English for this one.

A quick short review, actually more to show how the packaging looks like.
Before Black Empire album in 2008, there was Immortal in 2006.

To my ears this album is melodic , as all Anthem albums are after the year 2000 reunion,
but this is definitely a hard hitting album. No exactly slow songs, unless you consider Echoes In The Dark as one. LOL!!
Even the instrumental on this album Insomnia is In Your Face.

Anthem remains still one of my favourite bands, although getting information about them and music by them and collecting their releases is so difficult and BLOODY EXPENSIVE.
But still if there is a will there is a way.
It would be a dream come true to be able to backpack to Japan and follow Anthem on their Japanese Tour.
Most of the time I have no idea what they are singing though.

This studio album is consist of
-Naoto Shibata of course
-Akio Shimizu and I love him as an Anthem guitarist
-Eizo Sakamoto - I still prefer Eizo above Yukio Morikawa as Anthem best vocalist. He makes the band sound Heavy Metal compared to the more Rock N Roll style of Yukio in my opinion.
-Hirotsugu Homma was still drummer for this album, before his accident.

Enjoy the photos... and two linked to youtube.
One this album version of Echoes In The Dark
The other a live in the studio of Immortal Bind....

This is Immortal Bind played live in the studio..

this is studio version of Echoes In The Dark.

I do encounter postings on the internet about Eizo's English language, but I dont care. I think he is the best for Anthem.

Thats all... Take care.

How I listen to Mr Big (Cammana aku dengar Mr Big)

Salam and Greetings.
First in  Broken English, and then in Bahasa Melayu Pasar.

I envision if I do live long, what music I will listen to and how?
I guess Maiden will remain a staple, anything Ritchie Blackmore and another will be Mr Big.
I had ripped my Mr Big collection to mp3, installed them to my walkman for listening when walking, on bus, on trains, and occasionally plays them thru speakers at home.

Persiapan hari tua , kalau panjang umur murah rezeki...
Termasuk hiburan sihat. HAHA.
Muzik apa aku nak dengar bila Jalan kaki, dalam bas, dalam train, atau kat rumah atau mana2 sahaja?
Rasanya band Mr Big tentu jadi pilihan aku.
Aku dah ripped abis semua dah bawah ni jadi MP3.
Dah letak dalam Walkman aku, senang dengar bila2 masa di luar, malah tempat kerja bila waktu malam takde orang lain..  dan di rumah aku bluetooth kan aje ke speakers...

Mungkin senang aku akan ulas sekali gus setiap koleksi Mr Big aku ni....

Maybe one day I will summarise my Mr Big collection.
