RhoDeo 1142 Goldy Rhox 42

Hello, today the 42nd post of Goldy Rhox, classic pop rock, in the darklight a US group that had build a considerable status in it's niche, todays mystery album transformed them from cult metal heroes into global superstars....bringing a little refinement to their undoubted power. Five years before the band stood at the point of collapse after a bandmember died at a tourbus crash. They battled on and since todays mystery album every one of their subsequent albums entered at no 1 in the US and elsewhere , a regular cashcow for the industry, but why share all that money? Free of their contract they plan to release their next album, the way last weeks mystery artist is doing it, thru the internet.

Most of the albums i 'll post made many millions for the music industry and a lot of what i intend to post still gets repackaged and remastered decades later, squeezing the last drop of profit out of bands that for the most part have ceased to exist long ago, although sometimes they get lured out of the mothballs to do a big bucks gig or tour. Now i'm not as naive to post this kinda music for all to see and have deleted, these will be a black box posts, i'm sorry for those on limited bandwidth but for most of you a gamble will get you a quality rip don't like it, deleting is just 2 clicks...That said i will try to accomodate somewhat and produce some cryptic info on the artist and or album.

Todays mystery album was released on August 12, 1991, it was the bands 6th album and as they seemed lack inspiration to come up with another title, and keeping it simple it became an eponymous one, same can be said for it's almost featureless black cover. Rumor has it they'd been using tons of illicit drugs and preferred recording separately but their producer wouldn't have any of that, the poor man got tons of slack by the bands fans who considered the album too soft and commercial and introducing classical strings had them gasp for air, those poor headbangers...Still it was a costly production $ 1,000,000 clearly the band had build up considerable credit with the record company, a credit that would be vastly extended as todays mystery album debuted at number one in ten countries, and spent four consecutive weeks at the top spot of the Billboard 200, making it the band's first album to top album charts. It's the group's best-selling album to date, selling more than 22 million copies worldwide. The album was certified 15x platinum (diamond) by the RIAA on November 13, 2009. It makes you wonder why the band made so much fuzz and suing Napster for enabling their users to share the band's work, (money... nothing else matters) it certainly damaged their reputation with the fans,but got them showered by the music powers that be (coke buddies). The band promoted the album with a series of tours. In 2003, the album was ranked number 252 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
