If Disraeli Gears was the album where Cream came into their own, its successor, Wheels of Fire, finds the trio in full fight, capturing every side of their multi-faceted personality, even hinting at the internal pressures that soon would tear the band asunder. A dense, unwieldy double album split into an LP of new studio material and an LP of live material, it's sprawling and scattered, at once awesome in its achievement and maddening in how it falls just short of greatness…
Cream is good at a number of things; unfortunately song-writing and recording are not among them. However, they are fantastic performers and excellent musicians. Their latest recording, Wheels of Fire, a two-record set inside a silver jacket, proves all this.
Although Cream were only together for a little more than two years, their influence was immense, both during their late-'60s peak and in the years following their breakup.
Hell on Wheels is the ninth album by heavy metal band Manowar and is also the band's first live album. Hell On Wheels - Live features the acoustic essence of this "hell" for the home stereo equipment. Recorded with perfect sound quality while still giving you that authentic live feeling, Hell On Wheels clocks in at 2 hours and features some of the strongest songs by the best Heavy Metal band of all time! Captured during the 1997 Hell On Wheels tour, this live album is a must for every headbanger who cares about quality and can be held in the same regard as Deep Purple’s Made In Japan, The Who’s Live at Leeds and Led Zeppelin’s The Song Remains The Same.
