LuckyStar 80/100
Vektor are Technical Thrash Metal band with many riffs and solos, but in some ways "Terminal Redux" sees Vektor delving more into Death Metal territory. Not only are the vocals reminiscent of a less irritating Chuck Schuldiner, but a lot of the proggier passages evoke Death’s later career in terms of overall vibe. Mar 11, 2023

"Eye II Eye" is Scorpions fourteenth studio album and is not as good as the previous albums, but still contains some good songs. It is much more pop-oriented than their previous work. "E2E" is the first studio album to feature James Kottak on drums and also the final Scorpions studio album to feature Ralph Rieckermann on bass guitar. Mar 11, 2023

"Van Halen III" is band's eleventh studio album and first & only studio album to feature lead vocalist Gary Cherone (Extreme). It is also the last to feature bassist Michael Anthony, who only appears on three album's songs while the rest of the bass parts are played by Eddie Van Halen. Album reached No. 4 in the U.S. and achieved gold status, but was commercial disappointment for the band, whose previous four albums had all been chart-topping, multi-platinum sellers. Mar 8, 2023

Italians Marco Garau's Magic Opera combine Symphonic Neoclassical Power/Heavy Metal, while they are influenced by groups like Helloween, Rhapsody of Fire and Malmsteen. However, compared to the greats, album has several shortcomings, even through quality music. The first is the bland sound of guitars and bass. Another is a less pronounced singing and sometimes addition of growling, which just doesn't suit the performance of the music. Mar 5, 2023

Dragonfly combine Symphonic Power/Heavy Metal, and even though they are from Brazil, musically they remind me the most of the Italians Rhapsody of Fire. However, in terms of quality, they are a step lower. The music is quite good, but it doesn't contain as many strong ideas, musical twists and top musicianship. Mar 5, 2023

On first solo album "Rejoice in the Suffering", Todd La Torre shows a different concept and perception of music than his home band Queensrÿche. The music is harder, more direct and metal oriented, without significant progressive elements. It combines elements of the 80s, 90s and the present with an emphasis on Power Metal. Mar 4, 2023

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

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

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
