Gets boring a little bit too fast. Definitely a front-loaded album, although I have to admit that those good songs are legit fantastic.   Feb 7, 2022

Pretty good. Sounds like what you would expect from instrumental djent albums.   Feb 7, 2022

Pretty cheesy, but I think that's the charm of this album too.   Dec 11, 2021

Certainly a super respectable album, and this is coming from someone who doesn't enjoy metalcore that much. Djent element mixes in really well, packing the album with very solid punches.   Nov 23, 2021

There's something about the speed of this album that hits the dopamine switch. Can't exactly pinpoint every element, but thunderous vocal flow is certainly one of them. I really love it when the vocal ravishes my eardrums.   Nov 23, 2021

No, just no. What is this chorus? What the fuck is that catastrophic pre-chorus? Why the hell this song ends like this? This sucks.   Nov 16, 2021

I think I'm properly learning Black Metal because this sounds like some of the greatest shit I've ever heard   Oct 10, 2021

A crazy good Alternative Metal album touched with pretty ridiculous touches from other genres. I mean, I think I can make a musical number out of Question!, or a party dance song out of Radio / Video (probably their Armenian root speaking up). All these hilarity without losing a single bit of heaviness. Every track is notable, but don't miss out on Question! because I think this is even more dope than B.Y.O.B.   Oct 10, 2021

In the Court of the Dragon is the worst track- mixing blunders undermine the quality of this track and the track itself isn't even that good. However, Trivium dishes out some of the best tracks of their career thereafter. Such cuts include A Crisis of Revelation, The Shadow of the Abattoir, and The Phalanx. What really stops me from giving a higher score is that even those songs are not free from production blemishes. (+vocals in the chorus of Feast of Fire is weird)   Oct 10, 2021

It seems like either their taste of mixing got significantly worse over time, or they can no longer afford proper sound engineering. The song structure itself is fine, and the insane drum part at the end is remarkable. However, it is mixed like there is a thin veil of plastic wrapping the song itself (and noticeably flat, in addition to that). I only heard this before properly listening to the new album, so this is really worrying.   Oct 9, 2021

Synth-driven part drags on a little bit for my taste but damn, that breakdown goes hard AF   Oct 7, 2021

Black Metal has always been in the backlog of my playlists- These kind of albums are the reason why it will change forever. While reminding me of how old school black metals 'should' feel (quotation because I can't come up with more appropriate word), Dissection laces in an additional layer of melodic guitars. The result is truly magical. Every track is notable, but please listen to Night's Blood if you have no time.   Oct 7, 2021

A well-crafted Black Metal album laced with African-American music. Gospel + soul elements which are found everywhere sets this album apart from ordinary albums. Furthermore, this album is political and anguished at its heart; it came out in 2020, with song titles like Tuskegee and I Can't Breathe. This further strengthens emotional impact of screams, such as the last scream from Tuskegee.   Oct 4, 2021

Melodies can be too sweet, but certainly a fun listen. I cannot verify this but I believe this kind of danceable, electronica-infused pop metal bands are direct ancestors of modern hyper-pop music, a la Dorian Electra. So bonus point for that too.   Oct 4, 2021

What seems to be an overlooked Melodic Death classic- with a hint of Black Metal. The moment where tremolo chorus transitions into melodic guitar solo in Deathmask Divine is a prime example of this, and the parts like this really makes the album enjoyable. Plus, cymbals are crisp as fuck and truly delightful to listen to. Notable songs are 'What a Horrible Night to Have a Curse' and 'Deathmask Divine'.   Oct 4, 2021

Moment is, without a single doubt, a very well made album. As reviewers before me said, guitar solos are absolutely banging. However, to me, some songs do not sound distinguishable from songs from other albums. I don't remember this song from Charact- oh, it is from Moment. Maybe this is because I'm not that big of a DT fan. Huge respect to them for being this consistently good, regardless.   Oct 1, 2021

The whole album sounds uninspired. Surgical Steel (which came out 8 years ago- time flies so fucking fast) was full of exciting moments, but I highly doubt that I would give more spins on this album.   Sep 26, 2021

Kinda mid but it retains DT's own charm.   Sep 25, 2021

Everything good about power metal with prog taste, concentrated in one album. Spread Your Fire, and The Shadow Hunter are two of the best songs I've ever heard (and probably will ever hear). I love how The Shadow Hunter divides this album into two parts: more power metal part and more prog metal part.   Sep 25, 2021

30th Anniversary remaster update - Acoustic lines on the start of One and To Live Is to Die sound pristine as hell. Bass Drum sounds less like it is recorded with TR-808. Lastly, you can actually hear bass lines. So songs sound more moist, but with the same brutalism of the original. The best Metallica album definitely. As a notable highlight, riff switchups in ...And Justice for All hits me way harder after a decade.   Sep 23, 2021

Every song except for Don't Look Too Far composes a perfect soundscape of despair.   Sep 6, 2021

Return to form with some unbelievably corny songs.   Jul 15, 2021

Haven't heard this album in a while but wow, this is bad. After 8 years, this aged like a parody of metal itself. People really crowned this kind of shit and wondered why metal is not mainstream anymore, huh?   Jul 15, 2021

An absolute masterpiece of mid-tempo thrash, and it's a shame that an album with this degree of finesse is not talked about much. Matt's vocal is gorgeous, and wraps up the instrumental parts so well. Lyrics to the chorus of 'Eternal Empire' is a little bit head-shaking, though. ('No kingdom, empire'? Are we serious?)   Jul 3, 2021

I've heard this kind of sound hundreds of times. Really nothing special, without Matt's vocal. At least it sounds good.   Jul 3, 2021

This sounds like 'life blows so I'll hit the boof and vibe' album. Y'know, it's good and all, and probably less emotionally draining for him and ultimately I can't care less if he's doing good. But I want more 'life blows and I want to die' albums in my playlist. Like 'The Raven That Refused to Sing'. That bites.   May 16, 2021

A lot of years passed and this album doesn't sound like it's dated.   Apr 12, 2021

I can't fully comprehend what is going on but damn this is some hot shit just like when you get high on caffeine while being manic and you feel so many and you write down your ideas and work on it then boom it's the most immaculate shit I've ever done and both your angel and demon on your shoulders are proud of you. You don't get it? Good.   Apr 12, 2021

My personal problem is that this album does not flow very well. Each individual song is as good as ones in Dirt or In Utero, but it feels like each song bleeds into one another at some point (not in a good way like What's Going On by Marvin Gaye, that album is so smooth). However, Layne's vocal here is goddamn perfect; it is painful to hear him crying out. So that compensates, somehow.   Nov 15, 2020

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.   2 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
