Stairway - No Rest No Mercy

I just checked out samples from this CD at CDBaby, and it sounds really good. I've ordered it and I'm hoping its as good on my CD player as the samples sound!

Does anyone else have this album?

I have all 4 of their official albums and also the "White Metal Warriors" album which had 2 tracks of Stairways on it.

They are pretty consistent in their metal and No Rest No Mercy is a classic of British style metal. Good album, and if you've got the bonus track on it "Anybody There", then that's awesome, 'cause it is my favourite track from them.

I didn't even know there was 2 versions.

The Stairway albums I have are "The Other Side Of Midnight" and "On Hallowed Ground".

I'll check out the samples of "No Rest No Mercy".

Is "White Metal Warriors" a collector CD?

White Metal Warriors was released first and was a compilation CD with 4 or 5 British bands on it. Seventh Angel were on this album and Stairway had 2 songs on the album.

No Rest, No Mercy came out next, and it had one of the songs from White Metal Warriors on it, but the other (and IMO best song "Anybody There") was not on it.

Next came Bleeding Heart, which most believe is their weakest effort.

Their 3rd full album was On Hallowed Ground, which was back to how they used to sound, albeit slightly slower.

Their newest album is very similar to On Hallowed Ground, and worth getting it you like that.

No Rest No Mercy was re-released by the band, which was basically exactly the same as the original. Then it was released again, but this time it had "Anybody There" on it.

Great band!!

The only problem with the rereleased version of "No Rest:No Mercy" is that the track "Anybody There" is not mastered to the same volume as the rest of the album. The song is definitely one of their best though. Great band!

I think "The Other Side of Midnight" is even better than "On Hallowed Ground".



:bom:

Stairway is a great band.
One of the best Brithish bands.

It's not just weak--it's almost horrible.

I quite like it

I got the CD last night, and wow! This is great!!! Usually production value bothers me, but this still sounds really good, even though the production isn't quite to modern standards. Terrific classic metal!

I LOVE discovering bands! This is fun!

The best Stairway is "At The Other Side Of Midnight"

I've been listening to sample of "...Midnight" at CDBaby and I don't like it nearly as much as this No Rest No Mercy album. The vocals don't sound as good to me, and the songs to me to all sound the same.

I'm really getting this No Rest No Mercy album. This is incredible!

Follower cool they made both CDs, one is your favorite and the other is my favorite.

Different strokes for different folks, as my parents used to say.

Mine told exactly the same.

This is a great album. I used to have it and some how it got traded I hope to replace it soon.

Oh man I hate it when that happens...I have done it at least twice.
