Traced in Air
preview  Cynic preview  Traced in Air (2008)
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
I totally loved every second of this album. When the energy picks up, it's really a 'hell yeah!' feeling. Amazing short album that makes me want to listen to a lot more Cynic.   Jun 29, 2023
Us and Them
preview  Shinedown preview  Us and Them (2005)
level 15 Cosmicism   70/100
Similar style to Audioslave & Soundgarden. The singer has maybe 60% of Chris Cornell's vocal ability, but even 40% is a good singer. On this album there are definitely cliché lyrics and a couple of the slow songs are too corny and kinda pointless. The rest of the tracks are decent and have good energy.   Jun 29, 2023

Lo-fi 2nd wave BM style. Nice & obnoxiously in your face.   Jun 29, 2023
Simplicity of the Moment
level 15 Cosmicism   75/100
To me it sounds more post-black metal though the cover suggests atmospheric BM. Pretty good.   Jun 29, 2023

Good rock that would have fit in well on the alternative radio in the 90s. Good passion & charisma.   Jun 29, 2023

level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
Very high quality song-writing, and the somewhat lo-fi sound is every bit as perfect as that wonderful album cover. It has symphonic parts here and there, but a lot of it is straight black metal, or BM with some synth in the mix.   Jun 29, 2023
Come, Sweet Death
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
High-energy music with high-stamina drumming. They were fully in a zone when recording these tracks, and the songwriting is top-tier and succinct. Death metal done extremely well.   Jun 26, 2023
Comme des Revenants Parmi les Ruines
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
First of all, that cover art's style and quite high level of execution just make me so happy. The music starts off with a great style (not surprising because these guys are veterans from other well-established acts), but then track 6 comes in and fills me with energy - definitely the highlight. The next few tracks are almost as good, and the last song feels like Twin Peaks.   Jun 24, 2023
The Shadow Theory
preview  Kamelot preview  The Shadow Theory (2018)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Some tracks are so-so, some are good, and some are great, but even some of the so-so ones have some great moments. Tommy especially just knocks me back in my chair multiple times in this record.   Jun 24, 2023

Slumbering Sounds of the Frog Fellowship

I'm still coming to terms with the facts that a frog-themed comfy synth album exists, that I love it, and that I've already heard it 6 or 7 times in the past 48 hours. How could you not be intrigued by this album cover?   Jun 24, 2023

De Evigas Gravrit
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
It's a real mix of sub-genres; mostly straight BM & depressive, but a little folk, a little atmospheric, and some parts are quite raw. For me, it's all good but not great. I will try everything from this project, however; the artist's Muvitium project shows how powerful his music can be. Anything by Swartadauþuz is worth a listen to me.   Jun 24, 2023
Illusion's Play
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
The 1st track doesn't feel like it should be on a full album by this masterful band, it just doesn't have enough of a point. Also, the album would be better with a little trimming; there's a song that takes way too long to end. The good parts are totally top-tier, and I'll be back to listen to those many many times because they show the true ability of Shape of Despair.   Jun 24, 2023
A Journey Told Through Fire
level 15 Cosmicism   90/100
A lof of Norwegian BM albums came out in the last couple of months, and this one is maintaining the high level of quality. Though country can affect the character of the music, the strong Drudkh influence is the most astonishing aspect of the album, or maybe a close 2nd to the 100% genuine passion that makes this album so great.   Jun 24, 2023
Hostile Architecture
level 15 Cosmicism   95/100
I loved the confessional hardcore punk feeling of the vocals. With this style, you can actually hear the singer's accent, so it helps bring you to Scotland and make the music more specific and real in a way. I think a lot of hipsters like this one. This is a case when I agree with them; it's quite a journey and a chance to reflect.   Jun 24, 2023
Digimortal
preview  Fear Factory preview  Digimortal (2001)
level 15 Cosmicism   80/100
I was pretty into all the music, but it would be better without so many vocals. Actually, these songs ask too much of Burton, with such variety of clean and harsh singing. The other members should help out; then they'll all realize, 'yup, too many vocals.'   Jun 24, 2023

I can only talk about the bliss that lasts for this whole album, but a voice inside me says it's just obvious to anyone who listens, so I don't need to say anything. Anyway, I like the cover art better with the caravan walking across the desert.   Jun 21, 2023

アイランド (Island)
level 15 Cosmicism   85/100
Very nice album that gets rather emo without being cringeworthy, which is a feat. キメラ's driving beat is absolute paradise with the storm of vocals blowing across it. This album is somewhat overrated but still very good, so I won't harp on that too much. Anyway, the album cover makes no sense, I've finally decided.   Jun 21, 2023

level 13 Harlequin   90/100
신화 속 폭력적인 이면에 대한 감정적 해석의 전달. 에픽한 소재들을 다루면서도 그것에 매몰되어 주객이 전도되지 않게끔 느낌과 표현에 철저히 집중한 듯하며, 그런 면모가 감정적이되 냉철하게 와닿는다.   Oct 31, 2024

Handle With Care
level 15 metalnrock   85/100
85-90, 예전에 빽판으로 즐기던 음반. 운이 좋게 다시 시디로 구입하게 들어보게 되었다. 지금 이 시점에서는 좋게 들렸고 시원시원했다. 녹음은 거칠긴 하나 가끔 너무 갑갑한 믹싱이 되어 있는 메탈음반이 많은데 차라리 이런 식으로 만드는게 낫다 싶다. 1,2집도 언제인가는 구해지지 않을까 생각해본다.   Oct 30, 2024

level 10 sierrahotel   80/100
어쿠스틱 기타, 첼로, 플루트 등을 이용하여 녹음한 어쿠스틱 사운드의 작품이다. 그러나 표현하고자 하는 사운드의 방향성 자체는 무겁고 진지하다. 멜로디가 약간 서늘한 냉기를 품고 있다. 더운 여름에 들으면 시원함을 느낄 수도 있지만 대체로 가을의 분위기에 잘 어울린다. 커버아트와 음악의 매칭이 절묘하다.   Nov 4, 2024

Nightfall in Middle-Earth

90-95. 이 시기의 블가 앨범들은 다 좋은 듯. hansi의 보컬을 더 느끼고 싶어서 사모으기 시작한 앨범인데 그렇다고 나랑 맞는 음악을 하는 밴드가 아닐 수 있었지만 지금까지 몇번들어본 결과는 만족스러운 행진 중이다. the eldar같은 곡은 지금의 나에게는 최고의 곡. 인트로+본곡 같은 스타일로 중복이 되는데 큰 단점같지는 않다. 조화롭게 잘 넘어갔다.   Nov 8, 2024

95-100 2024년까지 나온 오케스트라와의 협연 음반 모든 것을 통틀어 최고다. 다 어설픈 편곡때문에 그냥 원곡 듣고 말지 라는 생각이 드는 반면 이 음반은 최소 제대로 만들어진 영화음악 하나 들었다 할 정도로 편곡자체가 매우 잘 되어 밴드와 오케스트라가 제대로 융화 예상과 달리 스튜디오로 앨범을 냈지만 dvd 2disc를 사면 라이브 시디가 포함되어 있는 듯 하다.   3 days ago

라센은 일본 빅터에서 받아 동일하게 12번 "Rainy Nights"이 더 들어가 있다. 앙그라 초기는 의외로 많이 듣지 않아 생각보다 익숙하지 않은 면이 있다. 현재는 이 정도 점수를 주고 다음에 또 감상하면서 고쳐보도록 하겠다   Oct 28, 2024

Their most representative album of the eighties, full of innovation and class, with forceful themes and a benchmark in style for the hard rock genre, in fact it is their best-selling work to date! My personal precise rating is (94/100) Faves: Criyng In The Rain and Don´t Turn Away!   Oct 30, 2024

80-90. 메킹 커멘트를 보고 얼라이브를 베스트 대용으로 해도 된다는 의견에 2,3를 사게 되었는데 1,3에만 rock and roll all nite가 있다는 것을 다시 여기서도 알립니다. 이번에 사게된 앨범이 일본반 shm-cd 규격인데 음질이 나쁜게 아니지만 2보다는 살짝 거친게 아닌가 싶다. 아직까지는 얼라이브 시리즈+일반 스튜디오 베스트 조합으로 끝낼 생각.   Nov 6, 2024

훌륭한 데뷰. 1집을 꼭 사야 할까라는 생각으로 살다가 이제야 얻어걸린 느낌으로 사게 되었다. 물론 1집을 필수라고 여기지 않았지만 후회도 없다. 보컬이 멤버들보다 나이가 10여살 많은 걸로 기억하고 게디리의 좀 더 듣기 좋은 버전이라고 생각이 든다. 다만 믹싱이 마음에 들지 않아서 살짝 밋밋하다. 보컬과 드럼이 살짝 뒤로 간 느낌.리믹스가 절실하나 과연?   Nov 7, 2024
