Featured Rock Albums
2012
Shinedown
– Amaryllis
Amaryllis takes The Sound of Madness and supersizes it—bigger hooks, grander production, and anthems built for arenas. From the intensity of Bully to the sweeping emotion of I’ll Follow You, Shinedown proves they belong at the top with this polished yet powerful record.
1981
Ozzy Osbourne
– Blizzard Of Ozz
Left for dead after Sabbath, Ozzy roared back with Blizzard of Ozz, a solo debut that rewrote metal’s rules. Randy Rhoads’ legendary guitar work fused classical finesse with raw power, while Ozzy’s unhinged vocals made every track electric. Dark, melodic, and defiant—it wasn’t just a comeback, it was a revolution.
