Pros:
- The bustier, curvier sister site to ALS Scan
- High quality is the norm here, a discount is available to drop the price to $19.95.
- Picture sets are some of the largest I've seen, expect 3300-3800 on high end and around 200 photos, some have over 300 even! One of the newer picture sets of Angelika Black is 426 MB! That's getting your money's worth.
- Newer videos come in the beautiful 1920x1080 True HD and those are also huge, over 1 GB per movie on some of those.
- Download speeds are very good and using browser's DL manager allows resume if broken or paused.
- Most of the top models are here and some I haven't seen before too.
Cons:
- This is a pet peeve con of mine that might not be a big deal to others, the older picture sets are broken into pieces, takes 4-5 separate files just to get one full set. Newer sets have the option to download full set.
- Site can still be a bit confusing, will explain in Bottom Line
- Some videos are just photoshoots, but in their defense, they do list the videos as "masturbation" or "photoshoot".
- Update schedule isn't very clear or consistent
Bottom Line:
I had been a member on ALS Scan several times back in 2005, and was one of the ones that sent emails to Alex asking where models like Eve Angel, Sandra Shine and the more curvy models were. As a result of the emails that many sent in, they decided to open this site ALS Angels that is of the more curvy models than ALS Scan would normally have.
Since then, I usually join both at the same time, and really wish they would just make that an option, instead of needing to join each separately.
The picture sets are downright huge. Near 4000 high end on pictures and 300 pictures in the set, you are looking at close to 500 MB for a picture set. The videos might be the most crystal clear I have seen. Technically, very few sites come close.
Now, ALS Angels really is a very select site of top models. Thing is, I really don't know that I've seen all the models. On the main page there are these tiny "covers" that really do me no good, so I end up going to "featured models" which has roughly 100 models in it and each has multiple picture sets and videos. I think it kind of gnaws at me, wondering if I am missing some of them, but these 100 or so feature some of the best, Eve Angel, Sandra Shine, Andi Valentino, Angelika Black, Silvia Saint, Regina Ice, Tea Jul, Stracy, Eufrat, I mean if that isn't Heaven, I don't wanna go!
There also is a feature that they have been running for a while where they offer a DVD of theirs of one of the models to download. Luckily for me, I joined awhile back and they had the Eve Angel DVD as the featured one. I'm not for sure on what schedule this changes. This is a nice bonus to their regular content though.
There is the problem with the update schedule. Just going to read directly from it right now. From February 1st to 20th there was 9 updates, next update is listed as February 27th, so that was an update every other day, now it will be a week. Not for sure what is going on there.
I almost feel bad saying 92 since there are a few questions with the updates and when the DVD changes, but the content is just too good to not score it high. I'm not for sure but some of these models are real knockouts that I have never seen, like this new one Jennifer Love, not the same as the Latina hardcore model of the same name.
Their content of my favorites is some of the best I have. Eve's content with them is some of the best I've seen. Regina Ice's content with them IS the best I've seen of her and they do take these models to more kinkier actions than most do. I personally could do without the speculum play, but that is really the only complaint with the content.
Consistent updates, better interface to find models, and it would be one of my top 2 or 3 sites, maybe even top if the updates followed a normal schedule and the DVD switch was consistent, and full zip downloads on all picture sets. Those aren't unrealistic and would match the already incredible quality! Recommended, especially if you like curvier models!
I happen to be a member right now and checked it out. Using Free Download Manager, as soon as I click "Ok" it stops, doesn't even start to download. This included with username and password stored in DL manager. On the other hand, I tried it with just the built-in standard DL manager in Firefox and had 8 videos downloading at one time. One thing of note that I noticed is that when you first sign in and click to download your first video of that session, it asks again for your login and password. That could be what is tripping the DL manager up. But you can download multiple files and with the size of the files, if you had 8 going, it would take awhile. The site also doesn't have a huge collection, what is there, is very good though.
I like Sandy W too. She is really cute. I like the Hispanic women. I sent ALS an email telling them about how much I enjoyed their site and how I was surprised considering most "pro" reviews aren't that high. From the reply that I received back, their rotating content is to keep the content fresh. Of course, we know it is to keep us as members for more months as well. Your description of the models sounds like exactly what I look for. I found their other site, which is rated higher, the models are too skinny for me. I will probably hang around on it for at least another month to see the rotated material since I noticed several of their Eve photo sets say, "Set 1" or "Set 2".

Pros:
- Most of the videos are 720x540, the older ones are being remastered if they are lower.
- Content is 100% exclusive
- As of right now, in the video section there are 3 full very high production DVDs, besides the video of clips. The DVDs each focus on one starlet, with masturbation and g/g clips. Also are sold on ALS DVD site for upwards of $25 a piece
- ALS has a micro-thong that most of the women wear in at least one set that looks very nice
- Only the very best of models on here
Cons:
- I guess the rotating content could be a con
- The video section looks small, 36 video clips plus 3 full DVDs (8 chapters each), on the other hand, I liked each video clip enough that I have yet to delete any of them.
Bottom Line:
I had never heard of ALS Angels, but had heard of ALS Scans. I had always heard of the rotating content, which changes every month or every two months. The thing is, I happened to get in on the content rotation in the right 4-8 weeks. As the 3 DVDs are of Breanne (really pretty), Sandra Shine and Eve Angel. Those 3 alone equal 24 clips that range from 12-25 minutes each. Then there are 36 other clips, a few more of them are of Eve Angel, another of Sandra as well. The rest are almost all major Euro stars, Angelina Crowe, Britney Austin, no skip over clips for me.
Pictures, this can be a little frustrating. The zips are divided into 3 sections 1-30, 31-60, so you have to download 3 separate zips.
I guess the hardest part about reviewing this site is that I have been a member for a little over a month, but the rotating content hasn't changed yet, so I can't guarantee if you go there, say next week, that this same content will be available. Having said that, I still have to think that with the overwhelming quality of pictures and videos, and the impressive list of models, there would be something for everyone.
On those DVDs, each one is cut into 8 chapters, on ALS DVD site $20 at least per DVD. The free ones that come with this site are a lower quality, 1MB+ 720x540, yeah, they consider that a lower quality, same exact clips as the DVDs which go up to 5MB HD. I've really enjoyed it, when the rotation hits, I will post a comment to update what is new. Recommended!

Pros:
- Consistently one of my top sites
- Slim, pretty, sexy, cute and shaven. There’s a chance that’s all you need to know.
- Technical quality has always been a strength for ALS. Videos are HD or 4K. You’re going to see every pubic hair stubble.
- There’s no dropoff in the quality of pictures. You can download them and they are topping out at 4000 long end
- Fun videos, it’s an unofficial trademark of ALS videos. The models enjoy themselves and there are lots of genuine smiles. Watch the BTS videos to see for yourself.
- Download speeds are very good (85% my max)
- Can also be accessed as part of the Met Art Network and is to me the best site on Met Art’s Network.
Cons:
- Just don’t join to see big booties and boobs. These are slim models. I too prefer bigger built models but ALS Scan is an exception for me.
– The more extreme scenes may be a turn-off for some
Bottom Line:
ALS Scan is likely one of the most respected pornsites. It has become known for the happy models, the big smiles, the laughter and everything you don’t expect from a pornsite with fists being stuck up in the tiny models. There’s a constant playfulness in the scenes and though mentioned many times before, the beach vacation scenes are still worthy of a spot in anyone’s best scenes collection. Those scenes showed that ALS Scan knew they had something special going on with their on-screen chemistry with models.
I once made the comment that I wondered if Met-Art realized putting ALS Scan on their network, bumped the Met-Art sites down a notch. I’m not for sure Met-Art minds since ALS Scan brought charisma that Met-Art lacked. The models try their best to keep a girl next door look but that only makes them even more attractive.
The standard scene on ALS Scan is solo masturbation. Somewhere along the way, they decided to work a helper into some of the scenes and that was a major boost. Seeing the helper being as shy as the masturbating model only adds tension for those watching it. Good tension. I have found myself pulling for the helper to jam another finger in the model … hold the lube. Make her moan a little more.
Pictures are a major part of ALS Scan’s site. Their pictures are large and the zip files often have over 200 pictures in each one. You can download videos and photosets to your heart’s content.
If you’re at all familiar with any of the Met-Art sites, the navigation will be familiar to you. That was one of the biggest positives of ALS Scan moving to Met-Art’s network. The navigation and layout of the site received an overhaul. The site, despite its huge size, is easy to navigate and search.
The numbers for the site show just how big it is. There are almost 4,000 videos and 4,000 photosets. That’s a lot of shaved beavers.
This is still a site that makes it difficult to find cons. One could say the older scenes with the OB/Gyn “tools” were not that sexy but those only make up a small part of the entire collection. Maybe you could complain about watching one pretty, young woman shaving another pretty, young woman’s pubic hair but that goes away when the one shaving starts licking the other.
This content is what men like to think really happens each time two women get around each other and we want to be their top voyeur. ALS Scan lets you be that.
Thank you, good intuition, I used to be a psychologist and do work in a college now. Sometime in the future, I'll most likely try out being a professor. I try to be as informative and straight-forward as possible in my reviews.

Pros:
- Making a strong case for the best photo and video porn site.
- The amount of content combined by their current update pace continues to shame even some networks.
- Another of those sites that has a farm growing pretty teens. It's like they never run out.
- Softer than most hardcore sites but harder than most softcore sites, if that makes sense.
- Still updates daily and has been around since 1996. I might make an uncomfortable joke in the bottom line about that.
- If you like slender models this is the site for you.
- Download speeds are very good, about 75% of my max.
- Met-Art boosted the navigation and site design.
- Very high quality throughout the site will cover that in BL.
- Some variety thanks to "helpers" in some otherwise solo scenes, girl/girl and girl group in the vacation scenes. But solo is the focus.
- Very good at capturing the girls personalities which is a lost art in porn these days.
Cons:
- There's so little to complain about that I'm going to have to nitpick. I think all of the Met-Art ran sites are frustrating at sign-up because they transfer you to the login page and send your password to your email. Meaning, if you don't know your password yet, you can't sign in and you get stuck in that lock-up screen "sign-in" box that shakes when you get it wrong.
- Same complaint I've always had and that is while I like slender models as much as anyone, I also like some variety.
Bottom Line:
ALS Scan and ALS Angels are two of my favorite sites of all-time. The funny part is I don't and haven't ever preferred shaven women but these sites require it. I prefer a trimmed triangle, airstrip.
I keep coming back to this site because I still am steeped in solo porn. It's been my favorite since 2004. Most solo sites are tame, very soft and that's even more true in 2018. The difference now is you can't find more than a dozen or so sites with high quality content that is solo. Even when the competition was much more populated than now, ALS Scan was one of my top 3 sites in the genre. I will say that ALS Angels can outscore it for me personally, but ALS Scan has obvious advantages that can't be ignored like the amount of content, update frequency and much improved navigation/site design.
Kind of a funny complaint, I can't count the models because they have so many that they've gone to an alphabetical listing (would take forever) and a "top models" filter that shows a couple hundred. They continue to do things that make me shake my head in disbelief, like:
Daily updates. Shocking enough in this day of age of networks with 36 sites barely releasing one update per day but there are days like February 2, 2018 that had ... 16 casting updates, in one day. Your average porn site these days would release those over 16 days. Some might say those casting scenes are tame since it's mostly a woman taking her clothes off and little else but it's still a photo shoot and for someone who likes seeing a woman in her regular clothes, then naked, it's very good.
I try to always mention the collector side when reviewing the ALS sites since they have been around a long time and have a lot of models many of us have forgotten. A couple of favorites here are Alana (Anetta Keys) and Zuzana (Zuzana Z.). And to show how much content they do have for some models, Zuzana has 46 videos/photo sets. Considering their site has enough models to split their "top models" into a top 200, it kind of gives you an idea of how big the overall site is.
One of those objective opinions I usually avoid. The ALS sites are two of the only sites that I do watch the Behind the Scenes videos from. I know I've groveled over the ALS Angels BTS of Regina Ice becoming genuinely horny but ALS Scan has similar too.
Listing the numbers would take me a month. While I think their navigation is very good, it's not the best in the world for writing a review. If you click "movies" it takes you to a page with 60 videos on it and there's 30 pages of those 60 video pages. But that only goes back to July 2009. If you click "updates" you see that the content is dated back to 2006 AND there's an archive too.
My thinking is they're showcasing the videos that have 1080p options but from what I've seen they have 1080p dating back to January 2008. On the other side, they do have some 4K in the newer videos but I'm not for sure how they're doing that since one update will have it and one won't. Still, over 2,000 videos in 1080p.
They've always stood out to me because of their picture sets. They not only will push the 5000 long end side of pictures but also will include anywhere from 150-500 photos in a set. These are not screencaps from the videos, they are separate photo shoot photos.
Which leads to another objective opinion. I prefer their shooting style as they don't go and try and to create this porn looking area for the photos or videos. The makeup is light or natural and the clothes really look like what the model most likely showed up in. I used to prefer glam and do still like it but I prefer this more natural style now.
If you like slender models and you've never been a member, you should plan on staying longer than a month or else you're going to be overwhelmed with the amount of content. The scenes are typically longer than a lot of solo sites as there's usually a full strip and tease, some talking, and by the way, ALS won me over way back in 2008 with a scene with Anetta Keys. She, like many Euro models, usually won't talk much but they had her talking more than I've seen and they do that as well as anyone. The only sites I've seen that have as good of a relationship with the models are Twistys (when Shap was there, not anymore), Pacino's Adventures (think it's shut down now), one I've mentioned before and who has worked ALS, Zoliboy's old site and last is FTV. You miss out on that interaction with the model on 98% of sites these days. I thought the recent Liza Rowe one was cute when she noticed bees. While it won't top Eve Angel's once slapping of a fly on her thigh, while masturbating, it's still fun to see the normal moments.
One cross-sale to avoid but it's easy to avoid and it's to Met-Art, they would take care of it if you missed it. My score is only lower than before because I've adjusted my scoring scale. For me, it's the best of the slender solo models sites, so if one of mine is higher it's just because I've not updated it.
The last time I was a member on ALS Angels, there wasn't anything showing up in new updates. If I go back now and look I see new scenes, so I apologize and will remove that part from my review.
Hard to say whose fault it is on the "purchase" part. When you tell me ALS Scan became part of Met-Art's network in my mind that means they bought it, especially since they don't manage ALS Angels.
I'm at least glad to hear Alex is as much involved as I thought he was, based on the casting videos and hearing him laugh at the assistant for struggling with different languages.
One last part, does Met-Art managing ALS Scan, but not ALS Angels, mean there won't be anymore ALS Scan + ALS Angels deals like there used to be?
Not much has changed there. There is a more recent public one titled, "In Plain View", but it's minimal in public content. Towards the end of the scene the model (still nude) jogs down to the intersection and waves at a few cars. The tags make it more frustrating since they have a "public nudity" tag, but some of those sets are around the pool with no one else around. They do have a couple of hitchhiking scenes that could be seen as public nudity, but there's not as much public content as there used to be and the beach trips are even hard to tell on. There's a few in 2012, but I'm thinking they're remastered from old scenes since Sandy from Club Sandy is in one of them.

Pros:
- ALS Scan is a site about young women which adds some believable, more life-like scenarios than your average porn site does.
- I've joked about it before and continue to feel like ALS has a factory somewhere off the grid that produces these innocent, pretty, girl-next door types who like being naked.
- I can't say for sure how much the old owner (Met-Art managed) is still involved, but nearly all of the casting videos I've watched have him talking in them. And that's a big plus (See BL)
- Daily updates, usually photo set one day, video the next with occasional BTS and interview videos thrown in.
- Long time ALS fans will like the PU price. I joined this site, 17 times, from 2006-2011 at $29.95 each time. One of the few sites a year membership is worth considering.
- Boy/girl scenes also show up some. For many years it was just a solo/lesbian site.
- High quality all-around (numbers in BL).
- Site has a personality. There's a fun, relaxed vibe with most of the content.
Cons:
- Any site like this one can become repetitive.
- Several longtime PU members didn't like the use of gynecological instruments and close-ups.
Bottom Line:
Admittedly, I always preferred ALS Angels to ALS Scan, but it was solely based on ALS Angels having curvier models. ALS Scan's technical quality was better even back then. This is based on how ALS Angels operated, if a girl was "too curvy" for ALS Scan she ended up on ALS Angels. What's too curvy? Eve Angel. All 5'6" 130 pounds of her. Looking at ALS Scan's current models they still prefer the smaller, slimmer girls. Back then the webmaster Alex was fair to the curvier girls by having ALS Angels for them, but I never really understood how a woman with 36C boobs could be considered "too curvy". That at least should let you know you're not going to get a lot of curvy models here.
What you do get are lots of slimmer, sportier, playful girls. I mentioned in the pros that I hear Alex's name in the casting videos and believe he's a very important part of ALS' success. Everyone seems to enjoy working with him and being around him. His interviews with models are top-notch, maybe the best in the business (sorry Zoliboy). The models almost always are relaxed during their scenes and I do believe you get much more emotion and enjoyment from the models when they are comfortable.
The casting videos are worth mentioning as I hadn't seen them recently. They're filled with new talent looking to make a good first impression. Though the casting videos do not have any type of sexual action in them. They do have full nudity.
The regular solo scenes on ALS are some of the best you'll find, though you will run into some extreme insertions and gynecological closeups. As much as I like lesbian scenes, my favorite girl/girl scenes in all of porn are here on ALS. I think it started innocent enough. ALS has always had a female assistant or two, but unlike other sites, they will work this assistant into a solo scene by a model. The assistant will then help the model lube up, insert something they normally couldn't insert and even a little licking, kissing, fingering.
The boy/girl scenes are mostly misses for me, but that's because I don't join ALS to see boy/girl scenes. Though I shouldn't say much since these scenes are pretty rare. I'm only counting roughly one per month boy/girl scene.
ALS Scan has always been a site with high technical quality standards. That hasn't changed and unlike a lot of sites these days, they still give you a huge amount of photos per photo set. You rarely see a set with less than 200 photos and some go as high as 700 photos, with 300-350 being an average. These photo sets are available in downloadable zips and come in 3 qualities: low (1000 high end), medium (2000 high end), large (4500 high end).
There's roughly 1,000 videos in 1080p quality. Some of the newer videos are also available in 4k, though I honestly don't download those since I don't have a 4k monitor nor do I want to start investing in more hard drives to store all those huge files in.
The biggest plus you will see with Met-Art's management of ALS Scan is in the navigation. Used to you would open a page that had tiny thumbnail headshots of every single model on the site. Now the preview pictures are larger and there's easy to use and find "photography", "latest updates", "videos" tabs at the top of the page as well as a model directory.
It's worth searching back into the older content to find all of the "beach" trips, where webmaster Alex takes several models to a beach and they record everything from playing around on the beach to masturbation in front of the other models while the other models eat breakfast. You get a lot of unscripted, humorous moments in those.
I still believe Met-Art made the biggest and best impact at Viv Thomas, but ALS Scan didn't really need a lot done to it. Overall, I think it's the best site in the Met-Art network and brings the best of "girl" porn you can get. There's plenty of uniqueness and creativity as well. From body-painting in public to public flashing to just plain nudity and masturbation. It's those female assistant one becoming involved ones that I like best, but truthfully, there's hardly ever a scene I don't like.
The cons are nothing more than me nitpicking. One that I didn't mention is the wrong update dates on scenes. I saw one yesterday that said it was released in 2010, but the "cover" of the scene said "Budapest 2007". Again, it's hardly worth complaining about.
One other thing to mention that could bother some is the use of remastered old scenes as new updates. These don't happen that much and I personally like them.
One of my all-time favorite sites and it's one of the few that continues to impress me consistently. Highly recommended.
I've always thought ALS seemed really protective of the Angels site. Never even thought that the Angels wouldn't exactly fit the theme/model build that Met usually has. Probably only makes sense that they wouldn't offer it. Brain is getting old.
Your ending line is probably the way I'm looking at it. Too hard to pass up for now, but may not return for awhile.
I wonder if Alex is still running ALS? He always seemed pretty obsessed with trying to get things right. Getting the hi pictures by changing the url reminds me of old days of finding samples and changing the number to see the rest of the samples that the TGP sites didn't show. Porn is making us smarter or more efficient one.
I also never thought I would see hardcore on either ALS site. The few times I talked to Alex he seemed deadset on girls only. I won't knock him too much for changing for the money.
Most of these problems sound like problems the old Euro sites used to have, especially the wrongly labeled size on zips, I remember learning to watch the size of the file to make sure I was getting the high quality zips.
Thanks for the helpful info, will probably give it a shot in a few months.
Drooler, similar to my response to PP, I've been way behind on replying to the replies on this comment. When I went to ALS Angels a few weeks ago, it was kicking me over to ALS Scan. If you're still a member are they still having problems like these and the ones you and joe are talking about?
Sorry about the time delay PP, lots of life changes have slowed my internet and porn usage.
I kept watching to see if maybe there would be an email about Angels being bundled with Met-Art, but I just keep getting the Met/ALS combo offer. I still will definitely join Met and bundle it with ALS Scan at least once in the next few months. Thanks for the info even if I'm late replying.
I tried it out, but not getting the offer. The only options I got besides the standard join is to join for long-term. The worst part, I never can get my card approved through their billing system so it ends up sending me to ccbill. Maybe I'll send them an email and ask what's going on with both problems. I wouldn't have ever complained about it if Angels updated more frequently. I still really like their content, but my subscriptions have dropped off since I usually prefer Angels. At one time, maybe 2007, I was joining both about every 3 months. As of right now, I don't think I've been a member this year of either. Just like Monahan's post below shows.
Very good review RearAdmiral. I've been a big fan of both ALS sites for a good while. The main thing I'm going to comment on is the ALS Angels site being available for $9.95 with ALS Scan. This originally was the only major problem I had with the ALS sites.
The difference between the two. ALS Angels are models, ALS' webmaster Alex felt were "too curvy" for ALS Scan. If he has made Angels available for $9.95 to Scan members then I probably wouldn't complain too much, but for years, including up to the last membership I had, Scan was $29.95, Angels was $24.95 no matter whether you joined them both or not and it had me almost saying "scam". Various reasons for it, my favorite Euro model, Eve Angel is on Angels only, she is listed as 5'6" 115. not really for sure on what world a 115 pound woman is "too curvy". I think my most recent reviews of the two scored Angels higher than Scan just because I preferred the models, though Angels only updates 7-10 times a month, compared to Scan's much more frequent updates.
It became such a frustrating point for me that I stopped joining either site. Don't remember how I exactly worded it, either in a review or comment, but at one point, it cost nearly $55 to join both and the only bonus from joining both was receiving all the models all other sites offer for one price. This became more frustrating when I signed up for both sites with the same username/password and sure enough, they were going through the same server. I think I've even posted I would be willing to join both for $39.95 combo price, so it at least shows how much I liked the content. I'll have to make a note to join both if Alex keeps giving a discount to Angels for Scan members.
I guess I've had my longest break from the ALS sites in years. I couldn't quite go through my full boycott of the ALS sites, until they combine them or at least give a double sign-up option to join both sites. I have cut back to one month a year on each site.
Also had problems with the payment processor on both sites. Attempting to sign up through their main payment processor which is ALS, through their site, got me two declines and two redirects to CCBill, their alternate biller. I don't know if I'm making an unusual request, but why not just put a link to join through CCBill? It seems the regular payment processor doesn't like my bank card.
Once beyond that, as always, no reason to re-review for now, the content is as good as you'll find on the internet. Especially the newer content with near 4000 high end pictures and 1920x1080 videos. The models, especially on ALS Angels, continue to be top-level for me. I had never seen Taylor Tilden until the sets she has on ALS Angels and really look forward to seeing more of her. I don't understand the remastering pecking order. I would like to see both Eve Angel and Angelina Crowe's content remastered, both seem to be very popular, but they both still have a lot of older content in lesser quality. I think in my complaint there, I'm just wondering if those can't be remastered higher? Going through the ALS Angels models, I can maybe find 5 I won't download content of.
ALS Scan is still as good as always. The quality is very high here as well though there are less models I'm interested in than on Angels.
Overall, the two sites have produced some of my favorite scenes. They have my favorite Meggan Malone scene, strip poker, as she masturbates in front of another female and two males. Eve Angel has many great videos on ALS Angels, my favorite being the assisted fisting from Nadia. When Eve speaks English, I would think she really means it since she supposedly doesn't like speaking English, but she tells Nadia about halfway through the scene, "You're so good at this" as she makes a mess all over Nadia's arm and the couch. Great video work as well, the camera shows just enough of Nadia to show her nipples swelling when Eve says it.
It's very believable porn and I do believe it's ALS greatest strength. On a last note, I would review both similar to my previous reviews. And as a P.S. anyone notice Zoli from Zoliboy hanging around in some of the sets? I found it interesting since Zoli and Alex of ALS seem to work magic with some of these models who rarely do anything extreme. I could be wrong, it may just be someone who looks like Zoli, but the photoshoot video of Eve Angel outdoors with Kylie fisting her, I'm almost positive that's Zoli walking around and helping with direction. Still highly recommended.
I found some Mia with Eve content on the defloration site. Seeing the two of them together again was great, but the story was maybe the worst I've ever seen. You'll like the premise, "Both of these ladies are virgins and are going to let us pop their cherries with sex toys". Not for sure but I don't think a sex toy de-virginizes a woman, and the material really doesn't look that old.
Mia was the first blonde in porn that I really liked and started collecting. My comment about the voting on the sets to remaster was mainly about the Mia content on ALS, I have found some content of her on older sites as Illona, never knew she had an alias besides Mia. I was surprised to see her on videobox too, they have several of her boy/girl scenes. Oh and before I forget, on the defloration site, an included loud pop happens and the dildo comes out all red ha ha.
Was a member approx. 1 month prior to this review.
Pros:
- As with both ALS sites, the quality and completeness of the content is as good and high as it gets.
- Newer videos hit to true HD 1920x1080 resolution, even the older ones are 720 high end.
- Picture sets are beyond complete, one picture set, Anita Pearl Scene 2, when downloaded in high resolution is...912 MB! Pictures can go up to 3800 high end and some of the sets near 400 pictures.
- Excellent download speeds, though can't get it to work with DL Manager, will allow resume in Firefox though.
- Some very good old content that features some of porn's biggest names when they were younger, love the old Anetta Keys sets
Cons:
- Had a frustrating experience as a member of both ALS Angels, ALS Scan, seems their sign-in page goes through the same server. So, when I clicked members to bring up my saved login information, it would be ALS Angels username and password, even though I was on ALS Scan, never happened before last month.
- See the above one and why this one makes the con list, after signing in to get in members area, have to sign in again when you go to download a video, so the confused server was causing me major headaches in accessing content.
- The models as a whole are beautiful, but they are almost all very, very skinny.
Bottom Line:
ALS Scan has been a favorite of mine for awhile now. I can see and agree with some of the complaints like the content is repetitive, but I can get over that for the high quality.
A common complaint that I have with both ALS sites is that the navigation can be confusing. I've signed in before, clicked the button for models, only to click a set and be asked to sign in again, what the hell? I just signed in! They do have what looks to be a separate model page for members, and I guess for whatever reason, I wasn't on it, instead, on the guest's model page, even though I had just signed in. Then there was the confusion with the server giving me my ALS Angels username and password when signing in on ALS Scan and of course, those are different so it rejected my sign-in attempt.
Minor complaints? Sure. But can be a bit of a hassle, especially for the impatient.
Quality wise this site is as good as any. I am not positive on this, but I want to believe the lowest quality videos are 720 high end, and the newer videos are 1920 high end. I might be nitpicking a little, but I do think this could be a negative for some members, a lot of the newer videos have 1280 high end as the LOWEST quality option and if you have a slow connection, you are going to be there awhile just to get the lowest quality ones. Some of the lowest quality videos are 500 MB for some scenes.
On the other hand, if you love the high quality this is a great site. The quantity is also very high. Much higher than sister site ALS Angels.
I'm one of the ones that likes the huge picture sets that have 200-400 photos in each set, so I really like that about ALS, the newer picture sets are almost as big of a file as the videos!
My complaints are minor when compared to the quality and quantity. They do also go back and remaster older content, kind of frustrating, since they take members votes on which sets to remaster and it rarely is the ones I am wanting remastered. This site does have an added bonus for collectors, since there is some older content of Sandy from Club Sandy, Anetta Keys as Alana, the retired and irreplaceable Mia Stone and Sophie Moone.
In general, the ALS staff, photographers, seem to have good relationships/friendships with the models, so you get some natural laughs from the models and smiles that don't look fake. I really can't complain about the skinny models, because they do have the other site with the curvier models, but I do want to add it in case anyone is wondering about the style of models. Put it this way, Sandra Shine, Eve Angel and Eufrat were too curvy for this one and are on the ALS Angels site instead. Starting to wonder about that myself. Not saying ALS is milking two sites by splitting the top models between their sites, but it is starting to look a little suspicious since both sites must be using the same server/different port? to sign in.
Still, I recommend the site for the quality and amount of content.
I am probably more like you that I am a huge fan of ALS Angels, I think ALS Scan is probably the better buy overall, but I prefer the models on Angels since I like the more classic, traditional built woman with medium or bigger boobs and bigger than medium hips and butt. Hopefully Alex will get around to getting a combo deal up. I was a member on ALS Scan this passed time for 4 months and still have a membership with ALS Angels for the 5th straight month.
Current Member for over 1 month (at the time of review).
Pros:
- ALS Scan has been a longtime favorite of mine, great quality content
- Newest pictures are over 3000 on high end
- Videos are 720 high end, plus they have some HD videos that are mixed in at 1280 high end
- Zipped pictures that are now coming in full zip downloads, most of the older sets require 4-5 zips for a full collection
- Site runs very fast for me and download speeds are well above average for me
- Very original content, even the photoshoot videos are worth downloading, as many add another girl to help out and in end up carrying a new kind of eroticism
Cons:
- Only nitpicks here, the older picture sets that have to be downloaded in sections
- The member voting for older sets to be updated to bigger resolution, never goes the way I want! I want Mia Stone in huge resolution!
- Wished they offered combo memberships with their other great site ALS Angels!
Bottom Line:
One of the few sites that I regularly let rebill for more than one month. I also am a big fan of their other site, ALS Angels and would like to see them come up with a combo deal to join both for a slightly lower price than the two would cost if joined separately.
Something I forgot to mention in the pros are the ALS DVDs that they let you download each month, while not as high of quality as the actual DVD itself, it is a nice bonus to let you see what goes into those. Most are either of one very popular model or occasionally two popular models. That is just icing on the cake.
The pictures are some of my favorites on the internet. Those newest sets are getting huge resolutions, I know I downloaded the newest Meggan Mallone full zip set and it was upwards of 400 MB in size, with the pics being 3300 on high end. Thanks goodness for large hard drives, eh?
The videos are really good quality, I would even say great quality, even on the lower than HD level ones, those are still 720 high end and are very crisp and clear. The HD ones are near perfection!
One of my favorite parts of this site and ALS Angels, the girls seem to be having fun with the photographers, especially in the photoshoots that they have videos of. The interaction to me is very important, happy, laughing models make for better pictures.
ALS Scan is one of the few sites that I could make my porn craving happy with. I always come back to it and somehow, had forgotten to review it. Highly recommended!
Hey jd1961, Be sure to check out ALS Angels too, if you haven't already. It has their "thick in the waist" models like Eve Angel, Sandra Shine, similar quality as well. Very good site.
