American Psycho is the fourth studio album by the American punk rock band Misfits. Released May 13, 1997, it was the first to be recorded and released without the band's founder and former leader Glenn Danzig.

The album also marked the addition of singer Michale Graves and Dr. Chud on drums.
The Almighty were a hard rock/heavy metal band, from Glasgow in Scotland who formed in 1988. Three of the founding members, Ricky Warwick, Stump Monroe and Floyd London were friends who met at school. Although the band members musical roots were in punk, The Almighty adopted a more heavy metal/hard rock oriented musical direction in their early years. Later albums saw the band's musical style move towards the band members' original punk roots.
The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads is a double live album by American new wave band Talking Heads, originally released in 1982.

The album contains live versions of songs that appear on their first four studio albums: Talking Heads: 77, More Songs About Buildings and Food, Fear of Music, and Remain in Light. The cassette edition of the album included "Cities", a bonus track not included on the vinyl edition, which also appeared on the subsequent CD release.
Loud, Fast Ramones: Their Toughest Hits is a compilation of Ramones songs. Curated by Johnny Ramone, the initial 50,000 copies of the album include the 8-song bonus disc Ramones Smash You: Live ’85.

It is a stimulant that affects the Central nervous system by causing increased alertness and heart rate. An extended high is usually followed by a severe crash that can result in aggression from the user.

The song "Coalition Star" was co-written with members of punk band The Ruts, of which Warwick was a fan.

It was released in the United Kingdom in 1993 by Polydor Records and was the band's final studio album for that label. It was the band's first album to feature guitarist Pete Friesen, who replaced founding guitarist Tantrum. Friesen contributed to the songwriting and was a major part of the new sound presented on this album, introducing a heavier, riff-based grunge sound compared to the punk leanings of earlier efforts. The subject of the cover art is taken from the artwork ''Jet Age Man by Ralph Morse, which featured on the cover of Life magazine in December 1954.
Soul Destruction is the second studio album released by Scottish heavy metal band The Almighty. It was released by Polydor Records in the United Kingdom in 1991. According to front-man Ricky Warwick, the album's songs centered on four subjects:
The Album is about four basic things - hate, love, religion and sex. All those subjects fascinate me, especially sex... I spent a lot of time in bed with my wife researching new lyrics for the album. ~Ricky Warwick, 1991

A three-disc "Deluxe Edition" was released by Spinefarm Records in 2015, including the Blood, Fire and Live album on the second disc, and all of the B-sides from the various singles on the fourth disc.
Blood, Fire and Live is the first live album, second overall, recorded by Scottish heavy metal band The Almighty on their 'Wild And Wonderful' tour in July 1990. The title, and defaced album cover itself, is a pun on their first album which immediately preceded it.

The album was re-released by Spinefarm Records in 2015 as the second disc in a three-disc "Deluxe Edition" of Blood, Fire and Love.
