Bedhead - Transaction De Novo
On their third and final album, Bedhead refine their spacious slowcore sound with thoughtful guitar arrangements and haunting melodies.
On their third and final studio album, Bedhead, lead by brothers Matt and Bubba Kadane, crafts an intimate record built on space and restraint. But 1998's Transaction de Novo isn't entirely a down-tempo affair, as the band pushes the sonic envelope on noisier tracks like "Extramundane" and "Psychosomatica" with mixed results. The sweet spot lies in the slowcore creep of opener "Exhume," which remains instrumental for most of its four-plus minute running time, or expansive closer "The Present," which builds like an Explosions in the Sky song. The band finds new and interesting ways to stay true to their sound while tweaking it along the way.
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
After two albums with Paul Di'Anno on lead vocals, Iron Maiden made a change that would solidify them as one of the great rock bands of all time.
With songwriter/bassist Steve Harris taking full advantage of Bruce Dickinson's operatic range, their March 1982 release, The Number Of The Beast, perfectly balances musical and lyrical indulgences with crowd sing-a-long choruses.
