I do not have harsh feelings against Nu-metal. I used to like Nu and alternative metal bands like Korn and Deftones when I was a teenager. Absorbing unconventional musical elements would be totally fine. It might broaden the musical knowledge of their fans if the musical mixture is successful. But it would be a horrendous outcome if the mixture was a total failure. In short, Slayer failed to do a quality job of juxtaposing the Nu-metal grooves with their legacy in this album.   Mar 24, 2023

Equivocal, vague and dubious-sounding album......The only thing I like about this album is the art cover.   Mar 24, 2023

I think Cro-Mags took the wrong path to change their musical style... I have no idea what they were thinking when they recorded this album. They seemed working their arse off to sound like a substandard heavy metal band in this album..... Arguably the worst vocal performance in my opinion.   Mar 24, 2023

I feel dreadful and disastrous whenever I listen to this album..... because this album has always made me remorseful of the time that I was exhilarated listening to Metallica's classics like Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets.   Mar 24, 2023

Very inspirational release with Arcturus-like experimentalism. Not all metal albums in experimentalism sound convoluted. This release is a fantastic mixture of industrial, prog, and black metal. Especially the ending track, 'Va Shia', ends this album brilliantly with some clean yet proggy electric guitar, low, shamanistic vocalising and those hard-nosed verses of groove riffs.   Mar 24, 2023

It is a terrific and exotic release. I was so impressed by Khonsu's previous effort. But this one is even better. This album has uniqueness in both sound and structure, which makes it defy to sound like typical black metal. This release has its own peculiarity in a superlative way, not only in terms of musicality but also in terms of the dark futuristic and engrossing atmosphere engulfing the city floating in a stream of stars.   Mar 24, 2023

A promising debut album with decent quality. With the stunning variety in style shown in this album, Lör twists and turns the melodies in a beautiful way that I could barely imagine. But, Lör's experiments in some tracks sound somewhat rough and abrasive. Btw I would recommend this album to the people who love to listen to the great blend of progressive, power and folk metal.   Mar 23, 2023

This album comes close to pure chaos and yet it doesn't touch the chaotic feeling that they mastered with their later release, Fas. I think this EP is kind of the beginning of a new musical path for the band.   Mar 22, 2023

A great traditional doom metal album. I felt like I was doomed when I listened to it for the first time. I love the mystical and calm atmosphere of this album.   Mar 22, 2023

A fabulous prog-metal album. Highly recommended to the fans of BTBAM and Opeth.   Mar 22, 2023

It is a decent stoner metal EP with the overflow of shamanistic spirituality.   Mar 22, 2023

The epitome of the art of technical death metal with unquestionable quality.   Mar 22, 2023

This album is kinda first love to my long journey to the metal world. Still sounds perfect in every sense.   Mar 21, 2023

This album is full of fresh ideas that only a newbie with a bright spark can offer. It´s very eclectic music with strong melodies, great vocal harmony and choir work, and a general disregard for genre labels. There are heavy and at times almost thrashy sections on the album, more mellow parts, epic parts, and quirky almost carnival bizarre parts. It´s an incredibly adventurous release featuring high-level musicianship.   Mar 21, 2023

The album that made me Dan Swanö's fanboy when I was a teenager.   Mar 21, 2023

In this album, death metal is combined with the method of avant-garde style composition. Some people criticise the sax in the middle of the track, but I like it though. I'd rather criticise that this album is losing its grip heading towards the end. But it's definitely a great album overall.   Mar 21, 2023

It's quite surprising that Lör still remain "unsigned" from any labels. This EP shows the great potential for them to be a big name in the industry in the future.   Mar 21, 2023

This EP gives you the slight pleasure of thrashing. It's a shame that it's too short to receive proper attention or evaluation.   Mar 21, 2023

It is a brilliant experimental cyber-grind album punctuated by classical instruments like violin, piano etc.   Mar 21, 2023

Totally agree with all the reviews and comments here and on the other forums, enchanting how good this album is.   Mar 21, 2023

It is the best album in the Iced Earth's career in my opinion. You may understand why Jon Schaffer sacked Tim Ripper Owens to take Matt Barlow back after listening to this release.   Mar 21, 2023

I tend to be attracted to crazy, eerie, weird and unique metal music. This one is a great album with extraordinary and brutal heaviness.   Mar 20, 2023

This album is full of agonisingly beautiful melodies combined with orchestral works.   Mar 20, 2023

Intriguing space-themed metal album. It's quite hard to find out a debut full-length album with this quality. There's no complaint about the technical proficiency of all the instruments the band played and the song-writing capability has been successfully executed with meticulous musicianship. As a newcomer to the scene, there are some shortcomings too: the entire album gets to sound monotonous as it goes towards the end due to the palpable and predictable musical pattern.   Mar 20, 2023

The beginning of the "Alterica" era. The harbinger of being Alterica was already spotted in their previous release in my opinion. This album would be totally fine with the people who don't care whether Metallica stick to the thrash metal style or not.   Mar 20, 2023

The top two "hidden gem" old-school death metal albums along with Gorhoth's 1994-2000 A.B.   Mar 20, 2023

Eco-friendly black metal album. This album cleanses and saves my lung from filthy regurgitation.   Mar 20, 2023

Probably one of the most original death metal albums ever created. Stunning technicality, keyboards, and Satanic themes sound so good altogether in a furious maelstrom of cybernetically reanimated Sumerian demons.   Mar 19, 2023

I am a big fan of space-themed prog metal. This album would be applauded by those who love space-themed progressive Metal. Some parts of the album sound a bit cringy to my taste, but I can't deny the fact that this one is a good album.   Mar 19, 2023

1990년도에 대체 무슨 일이 있었길래... rust in peace, painkiller, spiritual healing, cowboys from hell까지... 가슴이 웅장해진다. 나머지 앨범들도 손에 꼽을 정도로 좋아하는 앨범이지만 거의 모든 곡이 취향 저격인 앨범은 이것 밖에 없다.   May 7, 2024

드디어 이들의 약점이었던 절제된 기타솔로가 어느정도 해금되었습니다. 지난 앨범도 만족스러웠는데 역시나 이번에도 실망하지 않게 해주네요. 나이가 들어감에 따라 내가 좋아하는 밴드들도 하나둘씩 늙어가고 멤버들도 세상을 떠나는 걸 보니 매우 슬프네요. 반덴플라스는 계속 음악활동 왕성히 해주었으면 좋겠습니다   May 8, 2024

너무 탄탄하다. 40년 가까이 축적된 음악성이 드러난 앨범...연주, 곡 구성, 녹음 등 나무랄 부분이 없다.   May 10, 2024

밀레니엄 시기의 소위 '팝수성' 가득한 사운드로 청자를 타격한다. 특기할만한 것은 그 타격 지점이 RATM도, Limp Bizkit과 Korn, Slipknot도 내딛지 않았던 공간이라는 사실.   May 10, 2024

천재라 불렸던 자들은 진짜 총기가 불을 뿜는 때가 있다. 이시절의 나가쉬가 그랬다. 전작과 너무 다른 이앨범으로 전작에 버금가는 놀라운 사운드를 만들어냈다. 일렉트로니카와 익스트림을 섞어 부대찌개처럼 절묘한 융합의 새로운 맛을 냈다. 이렇게 세기말을 통과했던 이들은 너무 빨리 미래로 넘어갔다. 25년이 넘어도 여전히 미래적이다.   May 14, 2024

이때의 모습을 그리워하는 건 나뿐이진 않을 듯...   May 16, 2024

시간이 지날수록 앨범의 가치가 살아나는 작품. 코지파웰의 드러밍이 기가막힌 글램롹의 좋은 본보기.   7 days ago

이름값에 걸맞는 앨범. 특히 유럽 내에서 그들의 인기는 타의 추종을 불허한다. 처음부터 끝까지 단단한 구성과 강력한 연주가 여전하다. 하지만 들은 후 이렇다할 임팩트나 싱글지향적 멜로디 부재의 한끝이 아쉽다.   May 5, 2024

개인적으로 이 앨범을 그렇게 좋아하지 않는다. 이 앨범이야 말로 방향성이 애매했던 프로듀싱과 작곡으로 생각보다 안좋네 라고 생각했던 앨범. 물론 메탈 갓이 주다스의 시그니쳐로 쓰이기는 한데 이 곡도 애매하다. 브레이킹 더 로나 리빙도 맘에 안들고 물론 관중과 싱어롱할때는 좋긴 하다고 생각은 하지만 말이다. 75-80점.6번 8번이 의외로 좋다.   May 8, 2024

MR. Dio , He should be in HEAVEN now...   May 10, 2024

very good album by Sepultura. Also, the front cover of Arise is excellent.   May 12, 2024

예측불허의 사운드에 넋이 나가며 회원님들의 코멘트에 적극 동감하는 바이다.   May 12, 2024

20세기의 끝을 알리는 멜데스의 걸작이다. 끝내주는 멜로디 하나로 메탈을 좋아하지 않거나 입문하는 사람들에게도 권해볼만한 작품   May 12, 2024

이 앨범 그냥 시대를 관통했습니다. 2030 고독사가 늘어나고 점점 사람들과의 관계가 멀어져 가는 요즘 시대에 살아가는 우리들에게 받아야할 위로를 이 앨범이 하나의 동화처럼 들려주기 때문입니다. 그리고 이 앨범의 모티브가 된 실화는 현 우리나라의 문제점을 그대로 나타나는 게 더 소름돋습니다.   May 12, 2024

Excellent disc. Despite not surpassing its predecessor, it is a sensational album. The Last in Line is one of Dio's greatest classics.   May 14, 2024

미국 밴드를 유럽 스타일의 밴드로 만든 건 샤샤 패스의 힘이 아닐까 한다. 본격적인 이들의 전성기 시작~   May 17, 2024

락/메탈의 시대 흐름에 따른 트렌드의 변화를 가장 적나라하게 보여주는 앨범. 메탈헤드 모두가 수긍할 만한 스타일의 음악은 아니지만 당시 Slayer도 Public Enemy도 좋아했던 나에게는 최고의 앨범 중 하나였다.   May 18, 2024

이럴거면 차라리 슬레이어 새 앨범을 내시는 게...   May 18, 2024

만약 "드림시어터"의 음악으로 본 다면 이 앨범은 DT중 가장 쳐지고 가벼운 음반이 될 것이다, 만약 드림시어터의 "음악"으로 본 다면 이 앨범은 재즈,블루스 등을 잘 버무려 본인들만의 스타일을 접목시켜 만들어낸 이색적인 작품이 될 것이다. 물론 호불호가 당연히 있을것이다. 하지만 이 앨범은 망작이라는 평가를 받기에는 수려한 곡들이 가득가득 들어차있다.   May 18, 2024
