I really don't have much to comment on here, as Bent Out Of Shape is simply average. Good and bad songs, good ones a little more, raising the rating to just 80, nothing more, nothing less.   Aug 29, 2024

One of the best albums ever. The whole created by the wonderful songs and the story is amazing.   Aug 27, 2024

An excellent album that is overshadowed by the band's classic albums (Visions, Infinite). And even without a reason! The song material is strong throughout the album, and the playing is really competent and functional. On top of everything, Kotipelto is in the grip of its life, and the album is therefore not really wrong, if you don't take into account the slightly too long duration. A really great album.   Aug 24, 2024

While there is no song I really dislike on this, the album is weaker overall than their earlier works. The mainstream influence works here, but it's not the ideal Priest sound. For the high-speed, rifftastic Judas Priest of the past, check out Stained Class, but if you don't mind a little hard rock influenced metal, British Steel is pretty much the best Priest album of its kind. Not bad, but nowhere near the best.   Aug 24, 2024

Although "Walls Of Jericho" contains a few decent songs, Helloween's debut album is unusually poorly produced and features a weak vocal performance by Kai Hansen. The song material is also quite uneven, and you can't really get anything out of most of the songs even after many listens. It's still not a complete failure, and the album has its moments. There just aren't that many of them, and "Walls Of Jericho" is one of the weakest albums of Helloween's long career.   Aug 22, 2024

A very successful whole without a single clearly weaker piece or failed section. Tony Martin's vocal performance is great, and the rhythm group Powell-Cottle works very well. When you add Tony Iommi's recognizable (and very functional) guitar playing to this, we are already talking about a really hard level album. Really great work.   Aug 21, 2024

An excellent album that can be considered a return to the band's trash era. The song material is full of real gems, but unfortunately also weaker, clear filler songs. Mainly, the level is still high, and in addition, guitarist Kiko Loureiro's contribution to the album should be mentioned, because he is one of the best guitarists on earth. Definitely the band's best since "Youthanasia".   Aug 20, 2024

Originally intended as a Stratovarius album, "New Era" contains a lot of material of different levels, but still fulfills its purpose as a relatively entertaining power-metal album. Of the three different singers, Kiske manages his plot the best, having the honor of singing in the album's clearly best songs as well. Unfortunately, there aren't many of these peak moments and the album's value is also hampered by a clear uniformity. It's still worth giving it a chance!   Aug 19, 2024

Definitely one of the best albums of Megadeth's career, even if towards the end the quality of the compositions drops a bit. The level of the production is great, every musician is at their best, and the interesting lyrics add more depth to the songs. A great piece that doesn't quite get the credit it deserves.   Aug 17, 2024

Deep Purple's "Perfect Strangers" is a stunning comeback that shows the band's classic line-up is still going strong. The album combines an iconic sound with a fresh energy, and songs like "Knocking at Your Back Door" and "Perfect Strangers" are among the band's best. This album is undoubtedly one of the highlights of Deep Purple's career.   Aug 11, 2024

"Stormbringer" is a worthy follow-up to Deep Purple's hit album "Burn". There are strong moments on the album, such as the title song "Stormbringer" and the beautiful "Soldier of Fortune", the whole is more uneven. Funk and soul influences bring in new tones, but at the same time they break up the unity of the album. "Stormbringer" is not a bad album, but it is clearly overshadowed by its predecessor and is a weaker work as a whole.   Aug 10, 2024

"Burn" is Deep Purple's classic 1974 album that featured vocalist David Coverdale and bassist-vocalist Glenn Hughes. The title track "Burn" and "Mistreated" are the highlights of the album, full of energy and virtuosity. Although "What's Goin' on Here" and "A' 200" do not rise to the same level, the album as a whole shows the band's ability to renew itself. "Burn" is arguably one of Deep Purple's best albums and an essential listening experience.   Aug 8, 2024

Deep Purple's 'In Rock' is the pinnacle of the band's career and one of the most significant rock albums of all time. This record redefined the sound of hard rock and heavy metal, setting the standard for generations to come. Tracks like 'Speed ​​King', 'Bloodsucker' and 'Child in Time' showcase the band's aggressive yet melodic style that is unmatched. 'In Rock' is undoubtedly the band's best album and a cornerstone of rock history.   Aug 6, 2024

Deep Purple's "Machine Head" is a rock classic, full of memorable songs like "Smoke on the Water" and "Highway Star". The album offers unforgettable moments and showcases the band's best skills. However, a few weaker tracks prevent it from rising above the band's true magnum opus, 'In Rock'. "In Rock" is more cohesive and intense as a whole, making it superior in Deep Purple's discography. Still, "Machine Head" deserves its place in the rock canon.   Aug 6, 2024

This is not just a simple album by a random metal band, this is an experience, a long journey that lasted 20 years and finally ended in the most masterful way possible. I'm still at a loss for words to describe what this album means to me, Time I was my favorite album and Sons Of Winter and Stars my life song, but I believe that now this has finally been surpassed mainly by Silver Leaves, which for me is the best thing Jari has ever composed. Anyway, just listen to this!   Aug 30, 2024

Holy f***!   Aug 30, 2024

아예 심포닉메탈로 전향해버린 플갓. 그나마 연장해주던 데스메탈적 터치는 이번 앨범에서는 찾아보기 힘들 수준이다.. 새로운 팬층을 확보할 수는 있겠지만 나는 1집이나 최소한 Labyrinth까지의 플갓이 이들 스타일의 마지노선이었다고 본다. 그때에 비하면 너무 유치해져버린 이들의 음악이 아닐수 없다.   Aug 31, 2024

The album was worth the waiting. It has it all: from majestic and epic orchestration to fast, melodic guitar solos, varied vocals and awesome pace changes and chord progressions.   Sep 2, 2024

(커멘트가 날아갔네요) 간단히 다시 남기자면... 한마디로 이정도의 작품을 다시 만날수 있을까 싶을 정도의 명작이다.   Sep 6, 2024

듣고나니 점수는 정해졌다. 하지만 이 앨범을 기다린 12년의 세월과 이 앨범을 들으며 스쳐간 약 50분의 희노애락을 이곳에 어떻게 담아낼지 나는 도저히 엄두가 나지 않는다.   Sep 4, 2024

이 자켓 그림에 울분을 느낄 정도의 분들이라면 한국에서 버젓이 유통되고있는 바람의 검심과 사무라이 스피리츠를 본다면 타락한 세태를 한탄하다 각혈하고 쓰러져 사경을 헤매지 않을까. 옛날 카콥 논란때도 그렇지만 사람들이 영화,게임등과 달리 음악에만 왜이리 편협해지는건지 알다가도 모를 일.   Sep 7, 2024

Absolutely amazing, this is one of the best metal albums ever! Everybody loves the way of the fire and one with the shadows, yet Storm really is something else. I can't get tired enough, I have heard this more than 20 times already and still I find new sounds and details everytime I listen to it. It's not a metal album, Time I and II are a complete symphony. Masterpiece. The only sad part is you don't get to really feel the experience with an MP3 or cheap earphones.   5 days ago

Some people will say this is powerviolence / not a metal genre, but this is craazzzyyy heavy. I found the songs more focused & powerful than their 2010 album. These guys were definitely in the moment. Great music.   Aug 22, 2024

데빈식 괴짜 인더스트리얼이라고나 할까 좋은 후클란의 적당히 두들겨 패는 드러밍부터 시작해서 꽤나 왁짜지껄하다 많이 들어 보지는 않았지만 꽤나 맘에 드는 앨범이다.   Aug 23, 2024

It flows easily. Great album. I remember that I don't like their previous albums but this one is fire. "Devils and Angels", "All the Bad Men", "While the Spiders Spin" are my favorite tracks.   Aug 24, 2024

Again? So once again? For real. Stratovarius has once again made an almost perfect album, while updating their own sound and inventing a completely new genre: modern power metal. "Survive" is the band's best since the masterpiece "Visions", with the song material being of unimaginable quality. The instruments are also still in possession, and it must be said that Mr. Johansson is perhaps the best keyboard player in the world. Really great piece, play this hard!   Aug 24, 2024

이미 공개된 싱글 트랙들을 미루어 짐작한대로 전작의 슈거와 비슷한 살점신식 탕후루 같은 트랙들이 주류가 돼 전작과 비중이 정 반대가 되었다. 결과적으로 나쁘지는 않았지만, 이대로 간다면 데쓰 아마란스 각이라 조금 우려스럽다. 킹치만 그만큼 라이브에서의 호응도는 더욱 높아질 것으로 예상되니 또 내한 해 줘...ㅠㅜ   Aug 26, 2024

90-95.use 앨범은 2가 확실히 좋은듯.개인적 생각은 2를 위주로 1과 섞어서 70분*2시디로 한앨범으로 묶었으면 어땠을까 싶지만 이건 이것대로 아쉬웠을지도. 오랜 시간 들어왔던 이 건스의 초기작 중 이제야 확실히 취향에 따른 순위는 정했다. 1집,use2,use1순.터미네이터2에 나왔던 12.어릴 적 친구들이 13번과 오리지널 비교하며 떠들던 기억이 나는 앨범   Aug 27, 2024

소프라노 보컬 비중이 너무 많이 늘었다...근데 이 심포닉스러운게 아니라 그냥 파워메탈 같은 느낌으로 불러서 좀 이질감이 심해져서 이도 저도 아닌 음악이 될거같음   Aug 29, 2024

분명히 깔끔한 녹음과 매력적인 요소들로 귀를 잡아끄는 순간이 많지만 그 조합이 너무 매끄럽다고 할까. 가장 폭력적이어야 할 순간에도 그러지 못하고 깔끔한 느낌인 것이 아쉅다. 듣기 편해졌지만 매력적인 부분이 퇴보한 느낌으로 일장일단이 있겠다. 많은 메탈헤드들에게 어필할 듣기 좋은 앨범임은 부정할 수 없다.   Sep 1, 2024

네오클래시컬 이라는 지금은 죽어버린 이 서브장르 내에서 이보다 뛰어난 작품은 없다고 본다. 잉베이 1집, 토니 매컬파인 2집 (에릭 존슨과 스티브 바이의 작품은 이 범주애 넣지 않았음) 정도만 이 작품에 견줄 수 있으며 워낙 꿀꿀이 보컬을 많이 들어서 그런가 피터 마리노의 보컬도 개성있고 좋다. 아트마 아뉘르의 시대를 앞서간 드러밍도 예술이다.   Sep 4, 2024

악마에게 영혼을 팔고 그 댓가로 얻은 음악인가 싶을 정도로 완성도가 가히 경이롭다. 익스트림 메탈 계열이 아니더라도, 2010년대에 나온 메탈 앨범 중 손가락 안에 꼽을 명반이다. 정신나가도록 기묘한 분위기와 세상의 끝을 연상시키는 장대한 스케일, 그리고 사악한 신의 폭력을 연상시키는 헤비함이 초월적인 완성도로 매 곡마다 유황비처럼 쏟아져 내린다.   Sep 4, 2024

이게 바로 20세기 프로그레시브메탈이며 이후 프로그메탈밴드들에게 길을 제시한 아주 대단한 메탈앨범이라 생각이 든다   Sep 4, 2024
