A decent enough start, but the band hadn't solidified their sound at all, so what they play here is sub par Metalcore with a lot of Death Metal influence, but not enough good riffs. Jan 20, 2024


Intense, dark, and sludgy, this thing is rancid. It doesn't have enough strong riffs or emotion to grant it staying power, though. Jan 20, 2024


Really boring, goes nowhere, evokes nothing, doesn't bother building any atmosphere. Not doomy in the slightest. Jan 20, 2024


This is where the band got deeper into an experimental, Avant-Garde sound, and started playing with Industrial aspects as well. For me, it doesn't work most of the time. I prefer their purer Black Metal sound to this one. Jan 20, 2024


Really abrasive and unpleasant to listen to. Impressive musicianship, but they fail to craft anything enjoyable with it. Jan 20, 2024


Sub par Blackened Speed Metal. Not much Thrash, and not that memorable, but it's serviceable. Jan 20, 2024


Potential is here, but the songs are still in their infancy. The debut would improve on this by leaps and bounds. Jan 20, 2024


Decent EP that has the band moving further towards Power Metal. Nov 24, 2023


It's good, but for some reason entirely weaker than the debut, and the interludes are terrible. Nov 24, 2023


This was better than the material on their debut! Most of it carried over, but all the best songs are here, and I actually prefer the heavier production on this. Nov 24, 2023


Not as strong as their previous album, but still solid Jul 28, 2023


Slight improvement over the last one, as it's less Groove-laden, but some odd Grunge influence here is not really welcome. Jul 28, 2023


It's a fine album, but Yngwie is really repeating himself over and over. It can be boring if you're not specifically a big fan of his style or shred music in general. Jul 28, 2023


Industrial influenced with totally synthesized drums. Ironically, this might have the most interesting drumming on a W.A.S.P. album yet. Music is mostly good if not a bit boring. Jul 28, 2023


Incredibly dark and dissonant disasterpiece from Voivod. It can be a difficult album because it is very heavy, noisy, and Avant-Garde, but there is some insane quality buried here. Jul 28, 2023


Not bad at all, most of the songs here are fine cuts of raw Speed Metal. But, it's definitely bloated, filled with way too many tracks that they didn't need. Jul 28, 2023


Ripping, thrashy Death Metal, played with clinical precision. Monster of an album, absolute face shredder. Jul 28, 2023


Production on this is just too atrocious. Physically painful. Compositions are occasionally very good, but also sometimes boring and too repetitive. This one is way overrated. Jul 28, 2023


There are some fantastic tracks here, but waaay too much filler and experimentation. A much more concise album could have been wonderful. Jul 28, 2023


Fine Prog Metal, but nothing unique about it. Riffs are a bit too chuggy for me. Jul 28, 2023


There's great stuff here, but it's a bloated mess of an album. Some tracks are downright bad.. and they're all condensed on the second half. Jul 28, 2023


Testament go extreme! I find this album pretty damn great. Obviously it doesn't match their early records, but it holds its ground. Jul 28, 2023


Not as strong as the EP that came right after. The compositions here are still a bit aimless. Jul 28, 2023


Stratovarius finally release a truly great album, mixing their neoclassical keyboard wizardry with genuinely well written songs. Also, some incredible vocals here, especially in the title track. Jul 28, 2023


Some very interesting and unique songwriting going on here, but the vocals are quite bad, and sometimes the music just sounds goofy. Overrated to me. Jul 28, 2023


Another sub-par Sodom album. But sub-par Sodom is still pretty damn great! Jul 28, 2023


Great Sympho Gothic Doom, very strong for a first demo! Fully realized, well produced and composed tracks. Jul 28, 2023


Oddly, this album is pretty soft, but their strongest release in a while. Songs have good hooks and great lyrics, incredibly entertaining to read. Jul 27, 2023


Sigh delves further into the Avant-Garde, and the overall songwriting suffers as a result. Songs feel less concise and more like improvised experiments. Jul 27, 2023


Not very good. This debut is hopping on the Nu Metal train, but adding nothing and only playing decently. Jul 27, 2023

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. 3 days ago


Great classic album with incredible songs like "The Evil That Men do","Moonchild" or "The Clairvoyant". Mar 4, 2025


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



Very good album by Dream Theater. As always Mar 4, 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
