Deathcult for Eternity: the Triumph
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
The Chasm have completely moved away from any Doom influence, playing straight Death Metal here. Strong and consistent, thought the songs lack memorability.   Jan 26, 2024
Disco Destroyer
preview  Tankard preview  Disco Destroyer (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
More of Tankard being Tankard. Goofy pizza Thrash. This album isn't any better or worse than the previous many.   Jan 26, 2024
Destiny
preview  Stratovarius preview  Destiny (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Perfect follow up to Visions, capitalizing on the same strengths. Equal in quality.   Jan 26, 2024

Soulfly
preview  Soulfly preview  Soulfly (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   45/100
Man, this just capitalized on all the negative tropes of both Nu Metal and Groove Metal to close out the decade with an example of what not to do. Nothing enjoyable here.   Jan 26, 2024
Adagio
preview  Solitude Aeturnus preview  Adagio (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Maybe the band's weakest effort, but it's still a decent Epic Doom album. Unfortunately, it doesn't have any true stand out tracks.   Jan 26, 2024
Diabolus in Musica
preview  Slayer preview  Diabolus in Musica (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   95/100
Is it one of Slayer's weakest albums? Sure. is it still phenomenal to me? You bet! Some of these songs are seriously dark, even for Slayer, creating a very moody yet modern sound here. Desire remains an all time favorite song of mine. It's not their worst, I put this above GHUA and Repentless personally.   Jan 26, 2024

Lead and Aether
preview  Skepticism preview  Lead and Aether (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Found this a fair bit weaker than their usual affair. The atmosphere just felt off, synths weren't working well with the guitars. Still good, but especially a bit boring at times.   Jan 26, 2024
Against
preview  Sepultura preview  Against (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
It's not good, but it's certainly better than Roots...   Jan 26, 2024
A Fallen Temple
preview  Septic Flesh preview  A Fallen Temple (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
The Underworld acts bring this down from a strong Death Metal record to something completely unlistenable in full. What were they thinking.   Jan 26, 2024
Frozen
preview  Sentenced preview  Frozen (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Adding a burp sound effect is a great way to kill the mood of a dark, gloomy song. Otherwise, great stuff.   Jan 26, 2024
The Wake of Magellan
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
As usual, Savatage deliver a melodramatic and compelling concept album. Passionate and full of neoclassical melodies.   Jan 26, 2024

The Rivalry
preview  Running Wild preview  The Rivalry (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Running Wild's string of consistent Heavy/Power Metal starts to crumble here. It's solid enough, but it really doesn't have any true highlights.   Jan 26, 2024
Hellbilly Deluxe
preview  Rob Zombie preview  Hellbilly Deluxe (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Eh. He's doing the Halloween shtick pretty well. For me, the songs are too rhythmic and repetitive, without strong riffs or catchy choruses to carry them.   Jan 26, 2024
Inishmore
preview  Riot preview  Inishmore (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Riot remains a consistent player in the game. Nothing new or groundbreaking here, but it's good if you want more of their usual sound.   Jan 26, 2024
Symphony of Enchanted Lands
level 12 SilentScream213   85/100
Massive improvement from the debut. This one has so much more power, and the orchestral compositions sounds less silly, and work with the music better. Great sophomore album.   Jan 26, 2024
XIII
preview  Rage preview  XIII (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
More of Rage's standard fare. No masterpieces here, but you get highly consistent Speed/Heavy/Power Metal tracks with great riffs and drumming.   Jan 26, 2024
One Hour By the Concrete Lake
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Some of the songwriting here is super interesting. The band mixes melodies and chord progressions that sound happy or uplifting, but then add some dissonant... er, harmonies on top that just make it sound unnerving. Very unique stuff. Doesn't always work though, and most songs jump between great sections and boring sections.   Jan 26, 2024

My Arms, Your Hearse
preview  Opeth preview  My Arms, Your Hearse (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   90/100
Another great album by Opeth. A few of the tracks here, namely "Demon of the Fall" and "Karma" remain some of their best ever. The concept story is an added bonus.   Jan 26, 2024

Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka
level 12 SilentScream213   55/100
Nile got super brutal here, and in doing so sacrificed songwiritng and memorability. This thing is in one ear out the other. The tribal interludes are awful as well.   Jan 26, 2024
Oceanborn
preview  Nightwish preview  Oceanborn (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
32 for all time on this website? It's great, but it's not THAT great. Much improvement over the debut, and displays a wide variety of styles here, most pulled off pretty well. "Walking in the Air" is a very pleasant surprise.   Jan 26, 2024

As far as Grindcore goes, it's pretty standard. Not really special.   Jan 26, 2024
34.788%... Complete
level 12 SilentScream213   80/100
Great, great album that is unfortunately brought far down by the worst track the band ever wrote. The rest of the material on here is some of their most creative, mixing Gothic Doom with Alt Metal, Avante-Garde Metal, and more.   Jan 26, 2024
Snake Bite Love
preview  Motörhead preview  Snake Bite Love (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
Don't get why this one is so maligned, sounds just like all their other albums.   Jan 26, 2024
Formulas Fatal to the Flesh
level 12 SilentScream213   65/100
To me, this was a huge step down in Morbid Angel's riff crafting ability. These songs just don't have the same hooks as before. It's all quite brutal, but not memorable. Most of it still manages to be strong, but there are also a plethora of atrocious interludes, as had become the norm for the band...   Jan 26, 2024
Sin/Pecado
preview  Moonspell preview  Sin/Pecado (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Plagued by inconsistency. Plenty of fantastic tracks, equally as many that are quite poor. Definitely worth it for the career highlights though.   Jan 26, 2024
Garage Inc.
preview  Metallica preview  Garage Inc. (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   70/100
Metallica have always been good at covers, and here they display that quite well. Unfortunately, there's just too much mediocre material here. Not quite Metallica's fault, just that they chose to cover some... boring or mediocre songs. But almost every song here is at least on par with the original.   Jan 26, 2024
Chaosphere
preview  Meshuggah preview  Chaosphere (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   40/100
Much of what I hate in this style of Metal is present here. Riffless, repetitive chugging. Absolutely void of emotion or feeling. Dissonance, discordance, unpleasantness.   Jan 26, 2024
Mechanical Animals
level 12 SilentScream213   75/100
Often hailed as his magnum opus, this album is full of hits, but also inconsistent across it's 14 tracks. Too many of them are quite bad, but the highlights are indeed phenomenal.   Jan 26, 2024
Dragon
preview  Loudness preview  Dragon (1998)
level 12 SilentScream213   45/100
An atrocity of a band totally lost, without identity, experimenting directionless with no goal in mind. On the plus side, it's kind of interesting because of how wack it is.   Jan 26, 2024

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

Appetite for Destruction
level 20 똘복이   90/100
아무래도 이 1집에서는 많은 이들이 Sweet Child o' Mine을 꼽겠지만, 내게 있어서 이 앨범 최고의 곡은 절대적으로 Nightrain이다. 밴드의 정체성, 색깔, 연주력 등을 한 번에 대변해주는 곡이랄까. 심지어 가사까지 말이다. 같이 늙어간다는 말이 어울리겠지만, 그때의 열정 속에서 Nightrain을 외치고 연주를 하던 그들의 모습은 정말로 젊음의 영웅이자 양아치였다.   Mar 19, 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.   3 days ago

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

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

level 3 HBFL   100/100
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
