Condition Hüman
level 10 LuckyStar   95/100
Condition Hüman is the second Queensrÿche album with new singer Todd La Torre. The album is full of great songwriting, good melodic metal riffs, soaring vocals & widdly guitar solos. There is no doubt that Queensrÿche has a bright future so long as they continue to fill their Progressive / Heavy Metal roots.   Nov 5, 2022

The Power of the Nightstar
level 10 LuckyStar   95/100
eleven years is quite a long time, especially in the music scene. After such a long time, some groups are no longer able to follow up on the quality of their previous albums. Fortunately, this is not the case of Dragonland who released great Progressive / Power Metal album. The music is diverse, often changing and slightly different from their older work, but overall is excellent.   Nov 3, 2022

Soldiers of the Night

combination of old school Heavy / Power Metal. This album is all killer and no filler - highly worth getting, as it is timely even in the present time.   Nov 2, 2022

Survival of the Sickest
level 10 LuckyStar   90/100
I am not huge fan of Old School Death Metal, I prefer more Melodic Death Metal, but this album is great. The music is varied and at the same time so heavy with an excellent flow and a lot of energy.   Oct 30, 2022

This record is a real hit-or-miss release. But I still do not understand, why is this album so heavy underrated by the old fans. The album is full of good ideas and from my point of view, it even contains better vocals than on the previous ones.   Oct 28, 2022

Chapter VI
preview  Candlemass preview  Chapter VI (1992)
level 10 LuckyStar   95/100
After Messiah Marcolin left the band, Candlemass composed and recorded an incredibly strong record with new singer Tomas Vikstrom. He is really an excellent singer with some high notes & is also technically perfect. The guitar riffs are not as heavy or crushing as they were in the past, but they are still excellent.   Oct 26, 2022

Beyond the Crimson Horizon

Music on Beyond the Crimson Horizon is an excellent example, how Epic Doom / Power Metal was meant to sound. Dark, atmospheric, melancholic & brooding. Very good album.   Oct 26, 2022

Doctor Butcher
level 10 LuckyStar   90/100
Doctor Butcher was the side project of Jon Oliva (Savatage) and also featuring later Savatage guitarist Chris Caffery. Music is combination of Heavy / Power Metal and is more straightforward and harsh than their main group.   Oct 26, 2022

Dreamspace
preview  Stratovarius preview  Dreamspace (1994)
level 10 LuckyStar   95/100
This is a great album. I'm a big Stratovarius fan, I would even say that I like Timo Tolkki s singing as much as later Timo Kotipelto s. Dreamspace is the last to feature guitarist Timo Tolkki on vocals & this was also the first album that long time bassist Jari Kainulainen performed on. The musicians are at their creative heights and felt free to experiment with whatever they wanted to and you can hear this freedom of choice and courage on this album.   Oct 26, 2022

Solitude Aeturnus third full length album is an great example of everything going right. The guitar riffs / solos, vocals, drums, bass, production and lyrics are great.

Force of Habit
preview  Exodus preview  Force of Habit (1992)
level 10 LuckyStar   90/100
it's a pity, that this great album is so underrated. Force of Habit takes a different direction, its more Power Metal than Thrash. The production is absolutely amazing, everything sounds like it should. They are focusing on slower songs with downtuned guitars and a number of experimental elements.   Oct 26, 2022

Max is back. He is an icon in the Metal music & his legacy needs no explanation to the metal music fans and if you have any knowledge of Soulfly / old Sepultura you will be expecting a certain kind of aggressive music, blended with tribal beats, energy music and heavy riffs.   Oct 25, 2022

Escape to Nowhere
preview  Omen preview  Escape to Nowhere (1988)
level 10 LuckyStar   85/100
One of the biggest changes on album is replacement of vocalist. Personally, I think that Coburn Pharr (later he also sang Annihilator album Never, Neverland from 1990) was a good singer, but most die-hard fans did not welcome his arrival & also a partial change of bands style. However, I also like Escape to Nowhere album and overall I rate it quite positively.   Oct 24, 2022

level 10 LuckyStar   90/100
One of the best Razor albums. Although the riffs throughout the album remain fairly simple, they are catchy and fronted by very good solos. There are no intros / outros, no interludes, no ballads & no flirting with other genres. Just great old school Speed / Thrash Metal.   Oct 23, 2022
Executioner's Song

Executioner's Song is fairly simple album, however I was impressed by its energy and directness. It isn’t the sort of album that is a crucial part of anyone’s collection but it’s a damn fine way to satisfy a hankerin’ for this old school Speed / Thrash Metal music.   Oct 23, 2022

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

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

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

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
