Samson - Shock Tactics (Bonus Track Edition) '1981/2001

Tracks list

Samson's best album, 1981's Shock Tactics, was the last to feature singer Bruce
Dickinson (then known simply as Bruce Bruce). The band's songwriting had
improved and was comparable to other up-and-coming British heavy metal bands at
the time, such as Saxon, Diamond Head, and Iron Maiden. The band also benefited
greatly by the presence of producer Tony Platt, known for his work with AC/DC,
among other heavy metal acts. Kicking off with their best-known song, "Riding
with the Angels" (penned by ex-Argent singer Russ Ballard), other highlights
include "Earth Mother," "Blood Lust," and "Communion." "Nice Girl," however,
treads on Spinal Tap-territory with it's woefully cliched and predictable
lyrics. Although Samson would continue after the release of Shock Tactics,
Dickinson would go on to greater success and acclaim when he replaced Paul
Di'Anno in Iron Maiden.
