Pros
+ ALS Scan has been one of my favourite sites since I first reviewed it two years ago, so I figured it was about time I took a look at the second site from these people, ALS Angels. And I've actually just joined the site for the very first time a few days ago, even though I've known about it for almost as long as I have ALS Scan. I guess you just occasionally end up postponing some things for no apparent reason.
Well, better late than never, and I can start this review by saying that I'm certainly very glad I finally did get around to taking a look at ALS Angels, and I think it's safe to say I'll be sticking around for a while.
+ Just like ALS Scan, ALS Angels features some seriously hot solo masturbation and lesbian video and photo content, also fairly regularly here diving into the slightly extreme with solo and lesbian fisting.
The main difference between the two sites is that all the girls at ALS Scan are of the very slim type with small, tight asses and breasts no larger than a B-cup. At ALS Angels the girls are a bit, only a bit, curvier with larger boobs and butts. That means that at the former site you get models like Nella, Boroka, Amber Rayne, Blue Angel, Amy Lee, Jana Jordan and Sophie Moone while ALS Angels gives you girls like Eve Angel, Angelika Black, Eufrat, Peaches, Zafira, Nikki Blond and Sandra Shine. Oh, and of course all pussies are clean shaven here as well, that is after all in the name of site, All Ladies Shaved.
Which is to say, there's a lot to love at both sites.
+ On content shot since Summer 2007 you get the same exceptional video quality as at ALS Scan (note that not all "new" videos, are actually new, read the cons below for an explanation of the now, fortunately, defunct rotation system), 720p HD and all of 2008 even 1080p at a very high 8000 kbit bitrate (as I noted in my recent ALS Scan review update, on that site they've only just begun offering the 1080p version the last few weeks, so I guess there's a chance they might be added retroactively further back to match ALS Angels).
Older content also still looks quite good in 720x540 (or 640x480), 2000 kbit. A fairly high quality streaming video option is also available for recent videos.
Photo quality is exceptional as well, razor sharp and available as large as a huge 2592x3888 pixel resolution, of course with full photo sets downloadable in zip files.
Cons
- Both ALS sites were until last year using a rather unusual video rotation system. Not the kind used on some sites in the past (and possibly even the present) where they would just rotate the same, stale videos in an endless loop to make it look like the sites were regularly updated, but rather one where new video content would only stay in the archives for a month or two, and then some of these older videos would later be rereleased among brand new content.
Fortunately they dropped that system, meaning that every video released since early last year is now permanently available. Additionally there's a "Director's Hottest Videos" section with around 35 videos, all dating back a bit further.
Since both ALS sites date back quite a few years (ALS Scan all the way to '96 if I recall correctly), that means however that you'll still see frequent rereleases of pre 2007 content. Which leads me to my next point.
- ALS Angels isn't quite on the same fast seven videos, five photo sets a week schedule as ALS Scan but rather two videos and one photo set. While that's still a fairly decent pace, the video rereleases mean that it can occasionally be upwards of two weeks between actual recently shot videos in HD. Usually though it appears to be one new, one "old" video a week.
- The site interface at ALS Angels, both on the tour and in the member area, to quote myself from my latest ALS Scan review update, "still provides that bewildering, antiquated contrast to the state of the art content quality and gorgeous models".
Basically it looks a bit like something you would find on an amateur site ten years ago. Fortunately though the navigation features are decent enough.
