Maybe half metal, maybe less... There are beautiful airy melodies on this album, and they make their specialty cleverly dark humor. I had a good time.   Apr 1, 2023

Cosmic in the sense of sci-fi adventures and spaceships. Not like Darkspace - more like Lustre, Basarabian Hills, & Mesarthim. Also, quite original. Also well played and packed with emotion.   Apr 1, 2023

I don't know why I was expecting it to be weaker than the 2013 album. I'm especially struck by how much beauty is in the melodies of all these very well-written songs.   Apr 1, 2023

I remembered loving a lot of this album (got the CD back in the 90s) but totally didn't remember how well produced it was. Layne is on fire and there's lots of thoughtful guitarwork. Very good album.   Apr 1, 2023

Here's a person who's cool enough to like a variety of genres, and who's creative enough to make a good album in a genre with a very different feel to his previous stuff. Also, nice sense of humor on track 1.   Apr 1, 2023

This had a gigantic effect on me. It came to feel like a historical event happened today just because it was playing on my speakers. Funny, I feel a little guilty liking the album the most that has the most evocative, iconic, and legendary cover art. For me the perfect 100 listening experience and perfect album art coming together are not too good to be true.   Mar 28, 2023

I really love their style of metal and their style of hard rock; they just have good taste. On this album I found some songs medium emotional and others extremely emotional. Actually, most of the best written songs were more hard rock than metal and more concentrated in the first few tracks and last few... if you ask me.   Mar 28, 2023

Top-tier instrumentation. I loved the moods & atmosphere. The saxophone parts work well, and the guitar sound is perfect. The songwriting is worthy of the awesome artwork by Adam Burke. Long live doom!   Mar 27, 2023

There's a lot to love on this awesome instrumental album - mostly djent, but there is some cool 80s heavy metal solo on it too.   Mar 27, 2023

Extremely gratifying music all the way through. Maybe the vocals could be performed better; I can feel the evil and pain in them, but at the same time I can find it a little comical. Other than that, I loved everything I heard.   Mar 27, 2023

More evil on this album than on 10 of your average black metal albums combined, like the earth concentrated into a teaspoon of black hole. The playing is not perfect but it's so full of energy and the freezing guitar taking turns with the medieval sounds is very very pleasing.   Mar 27, 2023

There's some great music on here and a bunch of filler too. I'll be happy to play this again and skip a bunch of parts. There are also some lyrics that are painfully corny here. I was squirming in agony. I like to quote lyrics to so you can see which ones I mean, but I also like to avoid my computer screen from catching on hellfire because of the awful writing....   Mar 27, 2023

Almost as good as the 2022 album. Actually this one takes a while to get to the really emotional & beautiful parts. Also, you're probably guessing this will sound like Sadness to you based on the cover art, and you're probably right.   Mar 27, 2023

Better than I remembered. Actually, the first 3 tracks have videos & visualizers, but they're by far the weakest tracks. The best songs on this album are not as heavy as you might expect, but they're soothing + beautiful and the drumming is captivating. It feels kinda proggy and often has country vibes. A very good final album by the veterans.   Mar 24, 2023

Great sweeping beauty like I've come to expect from this band. The male vocals are not as good as the female on this album though. Overall, a good album with good songs. Track 7 was the highlight for me.   Mar 24, 2023

Master-tier melodies come up often on this album. Amazing debut. Actually, the singer should work on his ability to project more, but the sounds, including his singing are so full of feeling. Though this is more stoner than doom, this is the best new stoner doom release I can remember since Fat Grass. Thank you Destronomer.   Mar 24, 2023

A good album that is very very dark. However, it is hard to compete with that brilliant album cover.   Mar 24, 2023

I tend to expect totally transcendent excellence from Deftones, but that's not fair, right? This is a pretty good album. I totally love Swerve City, but a lot of the softer songs feel not so focused, and Chino's vocal techniques, which I just love, sound a little out of place here & there. I know some people love this one, but for me it's just plain good.   Mar 24, 2023

Good gritty underground sound. It has some really adrenaline-pumping parts and nothing is particularly weak. A good instrumental album.   Mar 24, 2023

The heaviness and terror stay with me after playing this album, even though I find it hard to recall much of the melody. Short & powerful album!   Mar 24, 2023

They made a good decision by releasing this; it was a lot of fun to listen to. The old lo-fi original recordings' details jump out a lot more. It feels like being in the studio with these guys, which is obviously their intention with conversations between the tracks included. I'm guessing some people won't listen to this many times, but I think you'll be glad you tried at least once.   Mar 24, 2023

I like this one more than Demanufacture. Obsolete's grooves are catchy and make me bob my head. All types of vocals on this album work very well. Extremely glad I listened to it.   Mar 24, 2023

It's the same earth-shattering cinematic sound of their 1st & 3rd albums, but on this one I find the songwriting not up to the same level of excellence of those other albums, except on the last few songs. Anyway, I love the drum sound in particular. Also, this band still deserves tons more recognition.   Mar 24, 2023

I find it impressive how they took some doom & death metal material and brought this blackened terror to the sound. It must have angered a lot of fans who don't expect such a rough & quick recording from a well-established band, but the sound is fun in a way for me. Overall, worth a listen.   Mar 24, 2023

Very ambitious and good variety. It's not a perfect album and some tracks are so-so for me with the vocals sometimes not motivated enough. The bright spots on this album outshine the sun, especially the guitar melodies. Also, this is my favorite Baroness album cover. Overall, the album is dominated by peaceful soothing elements that make friends with rebellious rocky elements. A very special record.   Mar 22, 2023

I loved it. After all these years, the Kamelot guys still create new songs that have something to say and are totally genuine / nothing sounding forced. From the heavier moments, to the more sentimental or poppier, I liked everything. Also fun to see superstar guest performances when every song relies on totally solid songwriting anyway. Thank you Kamelot.   Mar 22, 2023

Sexy swaggering style and soothing musicianship on this one. I think the composition could use some fine-tuning. This is a quite new band's debut album though, so count me impressed.   Mar 22, 2023

A band I've loved for many years, with the excellent use they make of stoner & progressive metal. This album is a bit inconsistent, but that's just because the rather good songs have a noticeable gap to the absolute masterpieces. Riffage, composition, arrangement execution, guitar sound, & passion - any dimension you can measure music in tells you that this is great stuff.   Mar 22, 2023

To my ears, this album was pretty good despite how I so seldom like any metalcore bands. Too many vocals is a problem throughout the record. However, I don't find many other negative points - just some points that are not so strong. The guitarwork is not so interesting for me, and is mostly not so emotional either. The drummer stays very active and brings great energy to the songs; for me, that's the best part of the album.   Mar 22, 2023

죽어버린 남자다움에 오함마로 심폐소생을 시키는 앨범. 멈췄던 심장이 그들의 리프와 드럼을 따라 다시 뛰기 시작한다.   Nov 1, 2024

스래쉬 음반을 언급할 때 항상 다섯 손가락 안에 꼽는 앨범...모든 곡이 베스트일 정도로 완벽하다. 개인적으로 Stronger Than Hate을 가장 좋아한다.   Nov 6, 2024

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

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

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

85- 90 채스틴의 기타가 바삐 움직인다. 당시의 다른 기타리스트와는 다른 맛이 있다. 레더 레온은 참 좋은 보컬같다라고 생각을 또 하게 되었다.   Oct 27, 2024

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

완벽하다. 지금와서 painkiller 정도의 힘을 기대하는 것은 무리지만 관록과 경험으로 영그러진 놀라운 앨범을 냈다. 엔지니어링도 크게 한몫했다.   Oct 31, 2024

옛 모습이 그립다. 그래도 화이팅!   Nov 1, 2024

조금도 기대안했었는데….훌륭합니다!!   Nov 1, 2024

온갖 괴생물체들이 꿈틀거리는듯한 아트워크의 세계관이 펼쳐지며..끈적이는 불협화음 데스 사운드에 빨려든다.   Nov 6, 2024

The album finds Blood Incantation returning to their death metal roots with renewed psychedelic vigour, eager to tear apart familiar metallic ideas   Nov 6, 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

85-90 기본적으로 2010년 이후 이들의 앨범이 특별히 구리다고 생각이 든 적이 없다. 이번 앨범은 기다려도 라센이 안나와서 결국 수입반을 샀다. 전체적인 곡 수준, 연주 수준 모든게 긍정적 방향이다.   Nov 6, 2024

85-95. 5번은 후기 대표곡. 커버한 밴드가 sodom , megadeth, helloween, Jorn 등이 있다. 필 라이엇이 안죽었다면 사이크스가 백사로 과연 넘어갔을까 하는 생각과 씬 리지가 꽤나 터프한 느낌도 갖게 되는 과정이었는데 이 미래가 재미있었겠다 라는 생각이 드는 앨범.   Nov 6, 2024

Very good work on guitars,a tight rhythm sectionand lots of keyboards effects the way only FATES WARNING teached to play !   Nov 7, 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
