151 - Loudness Milky Way 1984

Loudness had come a long way by 1984 and, after notching a number of increasingly successful albums in their homeland, their momentum finally carried across the waters. So it was that their fourth effort, Disillusion, which they had originally recorded mostly in Japanese, was recut with English lyrics to make it a tad more appetizing for Western audiences. Whatever the language, Disillusion remains one of Loudness' best works. "Milky Way" and "Butterfly" in particular display a prog rock feel somewhat reminiscent of Rush.
