4 out of 5 stars Not as essential as Volume I, but still worth owning.......2006-06-23

Released in 1980, the original Metal for Muthas compilation was a key album for the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement, featuring bands like Iron Maiden, Samson, and Praying Mantis and introducing Angel Witch to the world. The follow up album, appropriately titled Metal for Muthas Volume II, featured lesser-known NWOBHM acts and was measurably less successful.

Still, the 2000 reissue of Metal for Muthas Volume II is well worth owning, particularly if you're a NWOBHM fan. It features 9 relatively unknown players from that era, including Easy Money (with Marc Storace of Krokus) and White Sprit (with Janick Gers of Iron Maiden). None of the bands on this compilation had the impact Iron Maiden or even Angel Witch did, but they are still worth checking out. Some of the bands on the last half of the album are less than impressive (Horsepower, Red Alert, Chevy), but the songs by Trespass and Dark Star more than make up for it. As an added bonus, Sanctuary's 2000 version features remastered sound, which you wouldn't otherwise get to hear on these bands' material.

NOTE: Despite the claims made in the album's liner notes, the band Quartz is not featured on Metal for Muthas Volume II.

NOTE 2: The Japanese import version of this album has the exact same tracklisting, so I'd recommend going with the (much) less expensive domestic version.
