"Wings of Tomorrow" is Europe's second studio album and is the last album to feature drummer Tony Reno. Album contains many excellent songs such as "Stormwind", "Open Your Heart", "Wings of Tomorrow", "Dreamer", etc. Mar 11, 2023


Vektor shows on "Outer Isolation" big musicianship, complex composition, technicality and progressive approach. Band sacrifices none of their intensity and combines thrash aggression with progressive ambition. From my point of view, the vocals are weaker, but this is probably just a matter of taste. Mar 11, 2023


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.

"Lovedrive" is Scorpions sixth studio album and is considered as the pinnacle of band career. Album cemented the "Scorpions formula" of hard rock songs combined with melodic ballads.

"Taken by Force" is Scorpions fifth studio album and was the first album to feature drummer Herman Rarebell and the final studio album to feature guitarist Uli Jon Roth.

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

It is Van Halen's second best selling album, having sold more than 10 million copies.Album title is stylized in Roman numerals as MCMLXXXIV. Mar 5, 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


Album front cover is terrible and ugly, fortunately the music is still of high quality. "Diver Down" is Van Halen's fifth studio album and contains twelve songs, whereas five of them are cover songs. Mar 4, 2023


Van Halen's fourth studio album "Fair Warning" was met with mostly positive reviews from critics / fans and sold more than two million copies, but was still the band's slowest-selling album of the David Lee Roth era. Mar 4, 2023


"Women and Children First" is Van Halen's third studio album and was recorded in Hollywood at Sunset Studios, produced by Ted Templeman and engineered by Donn Landee. Kerrang! magazine listed the album at number 30 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time" and Rolling Stone listed the album at number 36 in their list of "The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time". Mar 4, 2023


Second studio album "Van Halen II" was recorded at Sunset Studio less than a year after the release of the band's debut album. It contains less distinctive songs than the debut, but it is still a quality album. Mar 4, 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

Best Album Comments – last 30 days

헬로윈 감마레이로 입문한 저로썬 메탈 장르에 뜸해질때가 많았는데, 간만에 이런 엘범을 처음부터 끝까지 들으니 감회가 새롭습니다. 멜로디면 멜로디 구성이면 구성 정신없이 40분여가량이 순삭되는 경험을 했습니다. 파워메탈 장르가 이렇게 잘 살아있구나 하는 감동 받았습니다.. 메탈이 생소한 아내도 좋아하고 자주 듣네요 ㅎ Mar 13, 2025



게임 매드무비에 넣을 곡이 더 생겼다 밴드 연주 작살난다 보컬리스트가 러셀 엘런같이 노래 개 잘한다 빠른 멜로디인데도 노래를 단단하고 웅장하게 잘 부른다. 있어야 할게 다 있는 파워 메탈의 정석 Mar 15, 2025



다시 살아난 폼은 떨어질 줄 모르고, 진짜 좋은데.. 정말 좋은데.. 짙게 드리운 어둠이라기에는 너무 명징하다. 컨셉에 맞는 분위기와 강약 조절을 좀만 더 했다면 명반 반열로 올라가는건데, 듣기 좋아서 더욱 그 한끝이 아쉽다. 5 days ago


점차 공격성이 사라지고 서정성만을 추구하는 멜데스가 많아질수록 이 앨범은 빛을 발한다 Mar 9, 2025


잉베이의 열정적인 기타와 마크 볼즈의 절정의 보컬을 마음껏 만끽할 수 있어 이 앨범을 듣는것이 무척 즐겁다. 잉베이는 스스로의 실력도 대단하지만, 보컬 복이 참 많은 뮤지션인 것 같다. Mar 10, 2025


I'm pretty sure this is the best debut in history. Sonata Arctica immediately does what they do best and the result is amazing. "FullMoon" is a great song. Mar 11, 2025


Great album but not at the level of the debut in my opinion. The band tries a bit of progressive direction with pretty good results, although some songs are quite weak. The end of the album is great. Good job Sonata! Mar 11, 2025


DT caught my attention with their previous album and this one confirms my thoughts on them. I´m not so fond of their old stuffs but these 2 keep me on my feet and I will go back to them regularly. Mar 12, 2025



The "Ram It Down" is a very underrated album, but in 1988 in the german Metal Hammer looked like a new classic by the soundcheck.Otherwise the "Ram it Down" and the "Hard As Iron"(with thundering riff) are great fast classic Priest songs. All in all i think only the "Love Zone" is the only one problematic song and the Lp is great.. Mar 8, 2025



LA메탈의 시작을 알리는 역사적 데뷔작. 빈스닐의 거친 코맹맹이 보컬은 아직 뚫리기 전이고 믹과 토미의 연주도 거칠다. 그런데 합주가 시작되면 니키의 베이스와 어우러져 아주 그럴싸한 곡들이 나온다. 아니, 앨범 전체 곡들의 멜로디가 좋아서 버릴 곡들이 없다. 몇개 히트곡에 의존했던 3,4집과는 수준차이가 크며 2집에도 크게 뒤지지 않는다. Mar 8, 2025


새로운 B급 문화를 만드는데 큰 영향을 준 역사적인 작품이다. 음악 자체는 강렬한 펑크와 블루스, 영국식 헤비메틀이 혼합된 난폭한 스타일이다. 녹음 상태는 열악하지만 감상을 방해하는 정도는 아니다. 서구의 평론가들이 지하감옥에서 연주하는 음악이라고 표현했는데 어쩐지 잘 어울린다. Mar 9, 2025


Fantastic classic album with the legendary Ronnie James Dio.. Mar 9, 2025
