Negative Positive
Title: Metal Milestone
Review: Released in 1980, the original Metal for Muthas compilation was a key album for the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, featuring bands like Iron Maiden, Samson, and Praying Mantis and introducing Angel Witch to the world.The 2000 reissue of Metal for Muthas is well worth owning, particularly if you're a NWOBHM fan. You probably already have the Iron Maiden and Angel Witch material on other albums, but the other, lesser-known bands like Ethel the Frog, Nutz, and Toad the Wet Sprocket (the metal band, not the 90's alterna-wussies who stole their name) are still worth checking out. It was an important album in the NWOBHM scene, bringing together the bands whose sound would change heavy metal forever. As an added bonus, Sanctuary's 2000 version features remastered sound, which you wouldn't otherwise get to hear on most these bands' material.
