Alchemy
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
I dunno, this is Malmsteen's... 12th album. And it's just more of the same. It's good, but it gets a bit old hearing him do pretty much the same thing every time.   Jul 29, 2024
Helldorado
preview  W.A.S.P. preview  Helldorado (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
W.A.S.P. have always been sleazy, but it was a more evil, dark, Metal kinda sleazy. This is just disgusting. "Dirty Balls"? Come on.   Jul 29, 2024
Beyond the Veil
preview  Tristania preview  Beyond the Veil (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Magnificent Symphonic Gothic Metal, loaded with power. "Heritique" is one for the ages.   Jul 29, 2024
Skeleton Skeletron
preview  Tiamat preview  Skeleton Skeletron (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
I love "To Have and Have not." The rest is pretty much filler Gothic Metal/Rock. Good, not standout.   Jul 29, 2024
Valdr Galga
preview  Thyrfing preview  Valdr Galga (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Really strong Viking Metal album with liberal Black and Power Metal influence. Great stuff, full of energy, riffs, nonstop entertainment.   Jul 29, 2024
Crowning of Atlantis
preview  Therion preview  Crowning of Atlantis (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
This one is a bit lukewarm. The songs are all quite mid tempo and don't employ many memorable riffs or melodies. It's good, just not great, especially not as much as the last few albums.   Jul 29, 2024
Calculating Infinity
level 12 SilentScream213   40/100
Technical, manic, extreme, disharmonic, all for the sake of it. Musicianship here is top tier, but songwriting is nonexistent. Completely unpleasant.   Jul 29, 2024
Nattestid Ser Porten Vid
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Great 2nd wave Black Metal in the classic style, no tricks, no gimmicks, just played straight.   Jul 29, 2024

Stronghold
preview  Summoning preview  Stronghold (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
On the brink of greatness. Some of the soundscapes here are magical, and the guitar leads have improved so much. Some actual Metal drumming is a much welcome change from the previous works. They just need to work on some of the empty/repetitive boring sections that take up a bit too much space.   Jul 29, 2024
Ecliptica
preview  Sonata Arctica preview  Ecliptica (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   95/100
Phenomenal Power Metal debut, already perfecting everything good Power Metal should do. "Fullmoon" in particular is just so catchy and fun. Despite the uplifting sound, most of these tracks are actually a bit dark, pessimistic or sad in nature.   Jul 29, 2024

Neonism

level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Too bizarre and weird for me. There are some really cool ideas here, and I like the loose concept of the dangers of modernity and overconsumption/technology, but too much of this is chaotic, aimless, and unpleasant.   Jul 29, 2024
Code Red
preview  Sodom preview  Code Red (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
One of the best Thrash bands returns to their roots after a bout of Crossover Thrash albums. It's the strongest they've been in years, filled with ripping, roaring Thrash.   Jul 29, 2024
Slipknot
preview  Slipknot preview  Slipknot (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
One of the most divisive Metal records of all time. Personally, I've always loved Slipknot, but I find this their least consistent album.   Jul 29, 2024

Skyclad haven't missed yet. This is another nice package of some of the greatest lyrics in this style.   Jul 29, 2024
Scenario IV: Dread Dreams
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
As far as Sigh albums go, this one is pretty aggressive and straightforward. Parts of me enjoy that, knowing there isn't any monkey business on this record.   Jul 29, 2024
Home
preview  Sevendust preview  Home (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Passable, at best. Nothing remotely memorable, stand out, creative or unique on this record. In one ear out the other.   Jul 29, 2024
Revolution DNA
preview  Septic Flesh preview  Revolution DNA (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Some of the Industrial Gothic stylings work well here, like "Little Music Box." But it's very inconsistent, "Android" for example is a mess.   Jul 29, 2024
Eye II Eye
preview  Scorpions preview  Eye II Eye (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Scorpion's Soft Rock Ballad album, still with some strong rockers on it though. Not their best by a longshot, but I think it's over hated.   Jul 29, 2024

Metalhead
preview  Saxon preview  Metalhead (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
A mess quality wise. This album has some of my favorite Saxon songs ever, and it also has "Piss Off," which is beyond embarrassing.   Jul 29, 2024
Rebel Extravaganza
preview  Satyricon preview  Rebel Extravaganza (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
This album appears to be quite disliked. I think it's quite good, slightly more Industrial than previous albums, but they pull the style off well. Only weak points are the dumb interludes.   Jul 29, 2024
Eternal
preview  Samael preview  Eternal (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Kind of baffling. They keep a similar style to the previous album, just... kind of lost all sense of urgency and memorability. Mostly good-but-not-great material the fails to live up to their potential.   Jul 29, 2024
Karisma
preview  Sabbat preview  Karisma (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Continuation of their Blackened Thrash Heavy Metal. Not as strong or consistent as the previous two albums, but still quite good.   Jul 29, 2024
Sleep of the Angels
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Another great Melodeath/Gothic album from Rotting Christ. This one does lack any true highlights, but it's quite consistent.   Jul 29, 2024
The Book
preview  Root preview  The Book (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Root have a unique style of Epic Blackened Heavy Metal, and this time they add a healthy does of Gothic Metal to the mix. Strong and consistent, but ends on a terrible choice of an outro.   Jul 29, 2024
Sons of Society
preview  Riot preview  Sons of Society (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
90's Riot has been surprisingly consistent, and this is no exception. Strong Heavy Metal with great riffs. "Cover Me" and "Dragonfire" are career highlights.   Jul 29, 2024
Ghosts
preview  Rage preview  Ghosts (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Rage take a more Symphonic Approach here. Probably their most lush, smooth, and melodic album. It lacks energy in places, but the density makes up for it. Very good album.   Jul 29, 2024
Q2K
preview  Queensrÿche preview  Q2K (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
I think it's a little silly how low this is always rated. Far from the band's bet material, yes, but it's a serviceable Rock record..."The Right Side of My Mind" is a great closer, but the rest is just kind of there.   Jul 29, 2024
Antipop
preview  Primus preview  Antipop (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   50/100
I really am not a fan of Primus' goofy Avant-Garde style, but they reeled it in here just enough for it to be tolerable at least.   Jul 28, 2024
The Opposite of December
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Lyrics and rhythm section are phenomenal, boring chuggy guitars really lose me. Not nearly as emotional as it could have been with actual riff/chord melodies.   Jul 28, 2024
Host
preview  Paradise Lost preview  Host (1999)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Paradise Lost drop Metal altogether and go a strange way into Synthpop Gothic Rock. I didn't like this when I first heard it, but it's grown on me over the years.   Jul 28, 2024

level 13 Harlequin   90/100
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
level 15 metalnrock   85/100
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

Nightfall in Middle-Earth
level 15 metalnrock   95/100
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.   4 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

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
