Some ripping tracks here, but also a lot of bad filler. Not needed as an EP.   Jun 4, 2022

Crazy stuff, near Funeral Death Doom with plenty of Avant-Garde tendencies, fantastic dissonant keys creating an anxious, oppressive atmosphere. Riffs might as well be nonexistant though.   Jun 4, 2022

Generic guitar hero stuff from MacAlpine, who we know can do better. Gila Monster manages to be a really cool track here though.   Jun 4, 2022

Pretty cool Death Doom record with tons of energy, dark riffs, what's not to like.   Jun 4, 2022

This is mostly Groove Metal as opposed to Thrash, but it's still pretty great. Interesting finding death growls here on a track.   Jun 4, 2022

I don't care what the popular opinion is, this is by far my favorite Symphony X album. The riffs are fantastic, there's a ton of Power Metal and speed, and the vocals are really passionate!   Jun 4, 2022

Stratovarius deliver another hyper-melodic Power Metal album, nothing amazing yet but definitely passable.   Jun 4, 2022

Soundgarden have never been more to me than pretty straightforward Grunge/ Alt Metal. This album is considered possibly their best, but to me it's another dose of mediocrity.   Jun 4, 2022

Fantastic Epic Doom mixed with melancholic true Doom. I'll take this over Candlemass or Solitude Aeturnus any day.   Jun 4, 2022

More standard Epic Doom. Closer "Shattered My Spirit" is the best track they've written, but the album is less consistent overall.   Jun 4, 2022

Sodom go Crossover Thrash here. It's not bad, but nowhere near as good as their pure Thrash material.   Jun 4, 2022

At the time, this was a very unique take on Death Metal. Oddly melodic and a bit gloomy, difficult to label but it's a grower for sure.   Jun 4, 2022

Another great album from Savatage, more melodic balladry bordering classic Metal riffage.   Jun 4, 2022

A pretty rotten album considering the band's history, and it's not even because of the drum machine, which is fine to me. Lyrically and musically amateur.   Jun 4, 2022

An interesting evolution for the band, very slightly playing with Industrial and Gothic Metal here. It works quite well.   Jun 4, 2022

Probably Sabbat's heaviest and best album so far. Still doesn't reach crazy heights though.   Jun 4, 2022

Underrated band right here, very early Sympho-Neoclassical Metal.   Jun 4, 2022

Doomy MeloBlack with good atmosphere. The interlude in the middle really kills the momentum, but there's some great stuff on display here.   Jun 4, 2022

Riot just going through the motions here, standard Heavy Metal/ Hard Rock, with a bit of Speed as well.   Jun 4, 2022

I put this off for so many years cause I thought it was a compilation album. It's actually full of some of their heaviest, most aggressive material!   Jun 4, 2022

Not a great album from Quorthon, but "Boy" is an amazingly heartfelt song, proving Quorthon's artistic flexibility.   Jun 4, 2022

Another step down in both quality and heaviness, but this album does bring some dark, introspective themes to the table which is definitely enjoyable. Closing ballad "Someone Else?" is absolutely stunning.   Jun 4, 2022

A very unique Prog Metal album that goes in a bunch of different directions, with a strong emphasis on Psychedelic atmospheres. Quite good!   Jun 4, 2022

An odd mix of genres here, but none of it is really compelling.   Jun 4, 2022

Pantera adopt a sludgier sound here in what might be their filthiest album. It's got some great southern aesthetic, but not many great riffs.   Jun 4, 2022

Another mediocre Groove Metal album by Overkill, similar to their previous album.   Jun 4, 2022

Highly overrated, and most of this is Electro-Industrial. Very unpleasant for me.   Jun 4, 2022

Some more strong and dark Deathgrind, following the styles of the last couple albums.   Jun 4, 2022

Their weakest at the time, but still a pretty good album. That cover art is something else though.   Jun 4, 2022

언제 들어도 좋은 심포닉 파워 메탈계의 명반   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

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.   4 days ago

라브리에 해고해라   Mar 6, 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

Awesome album one of my favourite thrash albums.   4 days ago

뉴메틀이라고 우습게 봤다가는 뒤져요..   Mar 6, 2025

평점을 안달았다니 이런. 데스메탈갓의 데스메탈, 앞으로도 추앙받을 진정한 마스터피스.   Mar 8, 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

귀에 팍팍 꼿히는 순도 99,9%의 헤비메탈 깔끔한 믹싱 때문에 더 좋게 들린다.역시 앤디스냅!   Mar 8, 2025

현재 보유중인 유일한 브투털 데스 음반이다. 정확히는 그루브 브루털 데스 광폭하면서도 리듬감이 살아있어서 그나마 귀에 들어온다.   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
